yo jimbo!

Sept. 09 London Chelsea 2 (DD, RC) Charlton 1.

Once again this lazy looney was forced to call upon all those non-existent multitasking skills as he was still busy editing crap copies at work by the time the Addicks came calling at the Bridge.

It was just like watching an utterly engrossing tennis match in some sweaty stadium. One moment my eyes will be busy tracking Lamps lumping the ball all around the telly. Soon they will shift towards the 17 inch monitor and my hands will get busy again, separating the verbal wheat from the chaff.

There goes Didi, scoring his third of the season. And then contrived to miss a million chances. Anyway, by the looks of it, he just won't let Lamps have the satisfaction of being our top-scorer yet again this season.

The first half was more like it. We ran em ragged, SWP made many a mazy run but seemed to run outta ideas once he was in the vicinity of the box. This kid really needs help. And Sheva? Well, let the honeymoon drag on for a little while.

After the interval, it started to look like the game at Boro. Charlton looked pretty hurt and was trying its best to get even. Terry and company started to look shaky and Didi's predecessor JFH aka Jimbo conjured up quite a cute li'l curled wondergoal.

And then came the moment of the evening. Jimbo, about to do the celebration run, stopped in his tracks and looked up sheepishly at the sea of blue looking stunned in the stands. He soon broke into a gesture that went something like Nirvana's All Apologies. The surprised crowd soon sprang to its feet and applauded the prodigal son's return.

Soon enough, Carvalho gave the Bridge faithful another reason for applause. 2-1.

Lamps could have given the skinny scoreline some extra cushion but Carson kept his spot kick out. On second looks, it would have been harsh. Kalou sure was fouled but he was way off the ball when Ben Haim sent him rolling on the floor.

Three more points in the bag but the day's highlight was Jimbo's moment with the fans. Classless bunch of idiots? We are having a laugh!
