Does anyone remember when Charlton first got promoted to the premier league?
They were underdogs for most of their matches. They had a team of championship players with a few additions.
They punched above their weight and after three seasons they established themsleves in the Premier league.
They had a relatively modest side and were often neutrals favorites in matches against Liverpool, Man UTD etc.
But after a while Charlton fans forgot their humble origins.
Staying up was no longer enough.
They went from plucky underdogs to fans with ideas above their station.
Their sense of entitlement grew and grew.
In 2006 they appointed Ian Dowie. He was later replaced by Alan Pardew who took them down.
They have been down there ever since.
Football is a funny old game.
