Pi Pints and pie

The journey up M1 to Leicester was trouble free and we did it in a couple of hours from Essex. Dean did the driving for this one - thanks Dean!We met the Old Man in a strange bar about ten minutes from the ground. It had Sky Sports News, some comfy armchairs and good service. I think it was meant to be a trendy bar. It was fine for a pre match drink but I do puzzle over the thinking that went into the naming of the bar. It was called pi - the mathematical symbol. And just so you come away suitably educated, the windows had the number 3.14159 written on them. I really can't think how maths and beer go together.

After a pint in pi we went to the ground for a pie - it seemed appropriate.

The game itself was poor. I'm sure the bumpy pitch and the wind didn't help, though it didn't seemed to affect the half naked drummer at the top of the stand with the Leicester boys in it. Leicester even have a fixed platform for the drum. Maybe he sees himself as a rival to Tango at Sheffield Wednesday. I think he's also had a few pies - and not of the mathematical variety!

For a while it looked like big Chris was going to be the latest Addick to see red, but he just about managed to avoid a second yellow card. A draw was probably a fair result but we really need to look at the transfer window as an opportunity to get some invention into our play. There's a real prospect of the deason tailing away unless we do.

Up The Addicks!
