I'm really going to try and keep this brief.
Two things have happened in the past 24 hours that have shocked me to my core in footballing terms.
The first demonstrates how detached I have become from Charlton Athletic, something that has been such an important part of my life for decades.
I sat on the train this morning opened the sports pages of Metro and saw that we had played at home last night to Oldham Athletic. For the first time ever since supporting the Addicks back in 1980 I hadn't even realised we were playing. I don't know whether to feel embarrassed, annoyed or resigned that the ridiculous regime and the way it has divided support and created a thoroughly unenjoyable and toxic atmosphere at homes games has finally left me completely apathetic towards my football club.
Back in the days before the internet my Saturdays when we were away from home and before my parents would allow me to go to away games consisted of a ritual of playing Subbuteo on our landing whilst simultaneously watching teletext for updates and listening to LBC for the latest match reports.
All rather shocking and leaving me feeling a touch lost.
The second is the 'interview' with this Dreisden character. (More of a rant really).
What a nutjob !!!
The lunatics have certainly taken over the asylum.
