Charlton down to 45th...
The bad news is that, following our defeat to Spurs, Charlton have dropped to 45th place in the European league rankings, down from 39th last week. It's not a surprise really, as a victory against Spurs would have probably taken Charlton above them, and into our highest ever position (they are currently 26th, up eight places after the win). As far as I know, Charlton have never so far been higher than 34th in this league.
Did anyone else notice recently that the Eurofootsie website had been taken over by online invaders? I've heard about this thing before but never seen it in practice. If you tried to link to their website (I have it bookmarked), you were directed to a page run by apparently East European or maybe Far Eastern website kidnappers; the normal Eurofootsie website and their online pages could not be accessed. The usual way out of this is not by legal means (very time-consuming and doesn't usually work as websites do not have many cross-country legal restrictions) but by paying a ransom (a contact link did appear on the webnappers page). I do not know how Eurofootsie got their site back online, but I hope it wasn't too costly a process.
