    Why? Our opponents tomorrow only have 5 players who were playing for them 4 seasons ago.

    That's still two more than us (effectively three given Forestieri only played in the second round of the League Cup in a second string WFC XI and left the club shortly afterwards). Not that I'm complaining as I said, but out of the top of my head I believe Bournemouth and Palace to name a couple have a lot more players who have played for them continuously since the 2012/13 season.

    Remember this is only Pozzo signings so there is Deeney to be included too. I wonder did Smith feature in a game each season? Pudil and Hoban were also on the bench against Preston.


    Good shout, the site was using didn't have him (or Riera but I remembered Riera at least). Stats updated.

    Joint 3rd top scorer for us in the 2013/14 season with Fernando (after Troy and McGugan).

    Only managed 2 goals the following campaign however, which made him 11th top scorer.

    Had a look at this tonight to see if Abdi was our most capped Pozzo player. I plan to post updates here at the end of every transfer window just.

    A few stats:

    Top 10 appearances:

    1) Ikechi Anya 136
    2) Almen Abdi 130
    3) Daniel Pudil 108
    4) Joel Ekstrand 100
    5) Matej Vydra 93
    6) Fernando Forestieri 91
    7) Heurelho Gomes 83 (up from 10th last time)
    8) Gabrielle Angella 82
    9) Manuel Almunia 81
    10) Marco Cassetti 81

    Ighalo (80 appearances), Cathcart (70 appearances) and maybe Watson (61 appearances) are likely to be in the top 10 this time next year.

    Ighalo is also just 1 goal behind Vydra now (Ighalo is on 37).

    Most outfield appearances without a goal:

    Juan Carlos Paredes (60)
    Nyom & Capoue joint second on 36.

    If Abdi goes before playing a game this season, that leaves Anya as the only player to play at least one game in every Pozzo season (assuming we don't resign Forestieri and Angella and of course assuming Anya plays a match).

    Total number of players signed by the Pozzos:
    78

    Total goals from Pozzo players:

    212

    Abdi would easily be top were it not for his injury.

    What about Deeney?

    Not a Pozzo signing.

    Was signed before the Pozzos but did plan on adding him today.

    Will add him and Hoban next time I do it

    Is there actually a problem with this? You know, if he has actually been as horrible as they suggest?

    I doubt he would've been more horrible than the majority of Charlton fans who have protested against Duchatalet (sp).

    Still, in the end, I don't have much sympathy for them. You all have to remember that when the Pozzos first came here, Charlton fans were one of the most vociferous set of supporters against us because of what we did in 12/13. They then unanimously decided to become hypocrites when Duchatelet came and said that not only getting a load of players from Standard Liege on loan was perfectly fine (one of the biggest problems they had with us), but they also had the gall to say that Duchatalet will do a better job than Gino could ever because Charlton is a mahoooosive club and we're tiny and will never be as big as them.

    I don't ever wanna see the problems at Charlton happening to any football club, but it is poetic that it's happening to them after all they said about us. Charlton fans are generally a special breed of idiots. No-one actually cares enough about them except their own, yet they love to create stuff with all the nearby clubs. Couple that with the standard "we've won only one FA Cup in our history, we're ****ing big" delusion and they end up making themselves look more stupid than Millwall fans, which is an achievement in itself.

    Rant over

    Then why him?

    Easy to identify? A bit more vociferous (as in did more tweets/posts on their forums)? I dunno, but he's certainly not going to be the only person receiving this letter

    Did someone mention Obbi Oularé?

    He's on loan at Zulte Waregem, for the season I think.

    In a nutshell, the recipient of this letter verbally abused the admins of the Charlton Twitter account, and was contacted by the club with a message like "do that and we're revoking your season ticket" - or something like that. When you look at it that way, it seems perfectly reasonable to me.

    I assume this individual will have to sit on that pitch side sofa that Charlton have? That way they can isolate and monitor his/her/its behaviour!

    As others have mentioned-karma!

    So he's got to go to every Charlton home game ? If that's not punishment enough, I don't know what is...smiley face

    Whatever the rights and wrongs of this, Mr Eager could do with a crash course in spelling, syntax and grammar.

    More worrying is that Mr Eager appears to have orange semen.

    Found this old video...circa playoffs in our first Pozzo year!

    Was cleaning out an old youtube account and found this there today, completely forgotton I had made it but showed up our animosity towards Holloway at the time.
