Simon Jordan "Im A Tit"

The Addick's official website today have responded after the following comments in Saturday's Guardian by Palarse Chairwoman Simon Jordan.
Jordan, Johnson and Dowie begin again today with the chairman "re-energised" by events at The Valley on May 15. "There were some incidents with the Charlton guys which I'm not going to go into, but they were very rude and quite happy we were relegated. And the Charlton fans were morons. Their time will come, as it will for their directors for the comments they made. They enjoyed our demise, but what goes around, comes around. I'm steely now, I want to beat the system, prove people wrong. I've no one in mind really but I like to feel that I'm fighting the establishment. People like me never reform, we just run out of wind. I will never be happy." Crystal Palace travelled to The Valley on May 15th needing a win to give the Eagles any chance of avoiding relegation from the Premiership for a record fourth time, but Jonathan Fortune's header, that levelled the scores at 2-2, condemned them to Championship football this season.
Jordan was apparently upset that Addicks supporters chanted - to the tune of 'Show Me the Way to Amarillo' by Tony Christie - 'We sent the Palace Down'.
The head of the Charlton Supporters Club, Mick Gebbett, responded to the asshole's comment today via www.cafc.co.uk:
"It's astounding that the chairman of an ex-Premier League club should insult the supporters of another club, to call Charlton fans morons beggars belief. Everyone knows the two clubs are rivals, but it's hardly the most offensive thing I've come across in a football stadium, with all the problems accumulated by football over the years, responding to fairly good-natured banter with such an over-reaction is incredible. There were 24,000-odd Charlton supporters at The Valley that day, including myself. That's an awful lot of morons."
Well good on ya Gebbett! Now for the picture!
HAHAHA!
cheers mate!
