Good Friday

A cracking afternoon of sport today. Andy Murray will slug it out with Nadal for a previously unlikely final appearance at Wimbledon which would send the nation into raptures. Nadal remains the best player in the tournament but Murray has the India-sign over him having beaten him in their last two encounters. At least one of those was attributable to Nadal's dodgy knee and he has been struggling with it again this year. My only ask is that if Murray can win through here that he doesn't do what he's done a good number of times previously and blow the final against an easier opponent.


We also have the mouth-watering prospect of a Brazil v Netherlands clash in the World Cup before the, ahem, not-so-enticing Ghana v Uruguay game. The Brazilians are looking unstoppable at the moment but the Dutch will give it a go and we should get an entertaining game (0-0 then). 


Having moved into July, Phil Parkinson has been bemoaning the fact that we have yet to make any signings. He's obviously unhappy that his earlier targets have been allowed to go to other clubs and that anyone he does bring in will have little time to play together before the season kicks-off. The Bookies odds of 11-4 for an outright Charlton promotion look hopelessly short on a club which will most likely start with a practically new team in August assembled for nothing under a manager with time running out on his contract.
