2025-26 CL Prediction League Week 17 Fixtures
As far as I recall, last season almost every fixture was generously made available in the Prediction League for the week before Christmas. Not so, this year, as TMA turns into Ebenezer Scrooge. The late Sunday predictors also need to be on their guard, as two of the Sunday/Monday fixtures involve 'Guest Fixtures'. And so,…

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…

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.

Residents Parking Expansion for SE7 - UPDATE PAGE 3
I spoke to a friend of mine yesterday who told me that there is going to be a massive expansion of residents only / 2 hour max parking around the Valley from sometime in October. Can anybody living the the area confirm/post a map of the area?, as I understand residents have been informed. This could possibly mean a 30 min…

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.

Thames Water Meter
Has anybody got a water meter ? Apparently in certain areas where we are ‘seriously water-stressed’ they are going to be compulsory. Just wondered how your monthly bills compare to the set charge every month that we've had up to now.
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?
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…
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.

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?

World Darts Ally Pally
Anyone see last nights match where the ScottIsh fella Cameron Menzies was breaking down basically in tears as he was having a bit of a mare , was really painful to watch as he lost to Leonard Gates the Soulger . James Wade went out 3-0 to Jermaine Wattimena

PIOTR PARZYSZEK WHERE ARE YOU
I have looked, but cannot find anyone else asking this question, Why was he not in the squad today? He has been playing recently, so was match fit. OS said available for Wigan. When I asked about international clearance, someone said just simple matter. So where was he? Does anyone have an answer?

Draught Guinness at home
I like Guinness on draught in pubs. And I also like the Guinness that comes in cans with a widget. In fact, I think that's a great drinking-at-home drink. But now there's "NitroSurge" (what a terrible, terrible name for a beer product) which comes in slightly larger cans and recommended to pour using a NitroSurge device…
The White Swan Needs You
Hi all, I know Paul also mentioned this in the 'demise of pubs' thread far more eloquently that I will, but its probably worth flagging separately too. For those heading to the game on Saturday… A local group is trying to restore The White Swan in Charlton Village and keep it open long-term as a community run venue. They…

Kevin Nolan's Memoirs
I was given a copy today by Hazel, Kevin's wife. Once I've read it I'll be donating it to the museum. Only 50 were printed and they have been given to friends and family but would there be an interest from others in buying a copy for around £10? If there is, it might be possible to have a limited run of extra copies made…

Why does T.Campbell keep getting selected
I have been a Charlton supporter for 58 years now. I don't usually 'want to have a say' but I am intrigued what everyone else thinks about the T. Campbell situation. Without doubt NJ is the best manger since Curbs but what on earth does he see in Campbell? Stoke HT- TC no crosses, no going passed his man, tracking back…
Loan watch 25/26

Injuries
Seen a few things on various podcasts saying: Edwards & Burke both need to see specialists. Bell is very close to returning. Kelman & Godden both training again.
Songs of London
As most of us come from or know very well this beautiful fucked up city we call the big smoke I was thinking what songs remind you or represent it's many damp and dark streets. Streets where dreams are made some might say. (No one I know says that but anyway) I went for a classic to begin with. I have been on this bridge…

World Cup 2026 - USA/Canada/Mexico
Venues to be announced by FIFA in a ceremony later today. 23 stadiums will be reduced to around 14-16 across the three countries. I would expect four or five stadiums from Canada and Mexico and nine, ten, eleven or twelve from the States. Some local governments are scrambling over each other to offer FIFA the biggest tax…
Palace and Europe ?
I've tried to find the answer but can't see anything on uefa website re qualification for next sesaons Europa league. CP fan here thinks they get in Europa Lge, (If they get to final, of course) even if they don't win it, providing either Man C or Liverpool, qualify for Ch League. I thought, should that happen, then the…
