POST-MATCH THREAD: Preston North End v Charlton Athletic: Saturday 4th October 2025: KO 15:00
Charlton ably contained the home side for the first twenty minutes of this windy and drab northern affair. Preston often got themselves into good positions but their finishing was woeful. Dobbin, Small, and Jebbison lacked any kind of composure in front of goal in the first half. Charlton pressed and covered well but found…
2025-26 CL Prediction League Week 8 Results
We all remember Paul the Octopus, which had superpowers and correctly predicted the outcome of 12 games at the 2008 Euros and the 2010 World Cup Finals. Now, it would seem @Arsenetatters has successfully trained a team of hens to predict football scores correctly. While others may have been counting their chickens before…

Hopefully most things will be fairly intuitive, but if you're having problems, please raise it on that thread, and we're going to…

Loan watch 25/26

Daniel Kanu: One of Our Own who deserves success
I was at Gillingham and Orient where the apparent lack of effort led to quite a few angry threads on here. As we look to bring in a forward to turn our season around, I thought I'd share a story about Daniel Kanu to encourage everyone to get behind him. He lives near me and both last Wednesday and today I saw him training…
Gig spy
The Cure, Wembley arena last week 10/10. Superb, no different to 30 years ago. 2 hrs 40. One of the best ever. Red Hot Chilli Peppers O2 Monday. Excellent 8/10. Biffy Clyro O2 tonight . Brilliant. 9/10. If you like Oasis/Kasabian they're nearly up there. Mosh pit mental.

Steve Brown, Alan Curbishley and Kevin Lisbie will be joining host Scott Minto in the CharltonTV studio to review a busy first month of the season that has seen Nathan Jones’ side…
Paul Konchesky
Just seen him on Sky Sports News and personally I've never had any hard feelings towards him since he left the club. Now I know it's not the clubs' current recruitment policy but he would have been a good player to have brought in last summer. He is now a vastly experienced left back and I believe he would have been…
Tom lockyer
I work with a guy who plays non-league, he's just said we signed his mate Tom lockyer yesterday. Welsh international, Bristol Rovers captain.
Kent Senior Cup 2025-26 (under-21s)
After a few years of entering the London Senior Cup but not the Kent one, we have popped up in the draw for Kent this season. No word as yet as to whether we're entering both or we've just moved back. We have a bye in round 1 followed by an away game at the winner of Ramsgate v Margate. Nominal date is 7 October but…

Wordle and other daily puzzles thread
As we're having technical issues with some of the bigger threads, I'm closing the old wordle thread, and starting a new one here. As ever, post your results, but don't spoil the solution for other posters.

Football facts that don't sound true (but are)
Inspired by the Aguero not being a PotY conversation, what other facts do you know that sound like they shouldn't be true but are? I'll start with a couple. Jens Lehmann went a whole season in the Champions League without conceding a goal, and got all the way to the final. Sergio Ramos has scored more goals than Andres…

England Cricket 2025
Time for a new thread. So, what do we have to look forward to in 2025? Well, for a start, the Men have the Champions Trophy in February/March. The main focus of attention for me this year, however, are likely to be the Test Series against each of the two big guns - India at home and the Ashes in Australia. It doesn't get…

I've looked at the first 7 pages and can't see it anywhere.
New Tv series (REMEMBER: No Spoilers)
Right, so i am currently doing shift work, and when i come home i like to unwind by watching an episode of something to chill out before going to bed. Watched Game of Thrones and Homeland recently - anyone got some other good recent series to watch? I'm willing to try most things unless it is along the lines of glee...…
Managerial sackings, comings and goings
The October international break is clearly a chance to wield the axe First Di Matteo gets the push from Villa, and now Guidolin has been replaced at Swansea by Bob Bradley To me it all seems terribly early in the season to make changes...For reference, we sacked Dowie on the 13th November…
General Things That Annoy You thread - part 2
Continued from the original thread which we've closed due to technical problems. I'm going with vacuum sealed food packaging that is supposed to peel open from one corner but doesn't.
Savings and Investments thread
I hope that like many other fine threads on CL this one will be a place where Lifers can share both knowledge and experience to help others. It isn't for "rich" Lifers. It's the way of the modern world that all of us have to try and save for old age. And it is not the place for politics, even though politics affects our…
Cartoons that make you smile.
As cartoons tend to be dropped into the "Photos only, no discussion" thread, I thought they might deserve a section on their own?
Under 21s (Match updates and news)
On a personal level it is extremely disappointing that our Under 23's are seeking permission to play their matches at Beckenham Town this season. Although 5 matches will be played at the Valley, that is too far for me to travel. Of course Beckenham is far from being "Charlton heartland", but of course the regime are…
London Senior Cup
The draw for the 2025-26 London Senior Cup was made yesterday, and there have been 38 entries this year (four more than in 2024). New clubs competing this season include Cray Valley PM, Hayes & Yeading and Ashford Town. Charlton Under 21s have received a bye in the first round, and will play away to Hanwell Town in Round 2.

Conveyancing Solicitors
Can anyone recommend conveyancing solicitor. Just putting the house on the market and those I have contacted so far seem to be the height of inefficiency. Thanks in anticipation Kap
Ongoing British Tennis…
We have a specific Andy Murray thread somewhere we have Tennis Grand Slam threads but since the emergence of Raducanu as well as other Brit hopefuls in both men’s and women’s tennis, I thought it might be a good idea to track the players flying the U.K. flag across the world…
Today I will mostly be listening to .... (Vol 2)
We've had a repeat of the fake new page problem on the Today I will mostly be listening to .... thread, so I'm closing that one and starting a new one here. The last post that you may or may not have seen is this one:

The boys of winter return - NHL is back
Not expecting this to be remotely as popular as the baseball thread, but the NHL returned last night. The Pens won 4-3 in a shootout over the Canucks, getting the season off to a good start, without the league's best player (Sidney Crosby, out with post-concussion symptoms since January)

THEATRE THREAD
We have Music, films, TV, stand up, books and all kinds. I thought I would start an occasionally used thread for Addicks who go to live theatre and musicals. Review, recommend, reminisce, react to plays you've seen, or intend to see. from school plays to Amdram to the Royal Shakespeare Company and beyond. Comment on new…

Miles Leaburn - Signs New 3 Year Contract (p77)
Deserves his own thread at this point doesn't he? Some very promising performances in pre season, doesn't look at all out of place in the men's game. He's come on a long way since the turn of the year but is he ready?
Formula 1 Thread
Lewis Hamilton just won the US grand prix and the world championship for the 3rd time. Say what you like about him having the best car etc but he's wiped the floor with his teammate and to be a triple champ is some achievement.
