Observation of the Day
« on: August 11, 2010, 11:43:58 AM »
Whilst watching Football last night, I noticed that Charlton Athletic have a player called "Mambo"!

But they have given him Squad Number 15!!

How on Earth have they missed this fantastic comedy opportunity?

Perhaps they already had someone in the squad before he arrived called Jackson?

Definite opportunity missed there!  

Although in fairness to Charlton, years ago I remember them fielding a back 4 of Young, Fish, Costa, Fortune.  So they"ve done almost as much for footballing comedy as Frank Sinclair!   ;D

Almost as good as the NUFC drugs scandal of a few years ago...

Shearer, Cort, Dyer, Given, Bellamy, Speed  ;D
