2025-26 CL Prediction League Week 25 Fixtures / Cup Replays
Someone asked me how I choose the games each week. It's easy, to be honest. I usually pick the games that I would least like to predict, and then, when I do my predictions on Friday morning, curse like hell at the horrible list of fixtures before me. Of course, there are weeks, like last week, when I throw in some easy…
POST MATCH THREAD : Charlton Athletic V Portsmouth : Tuesday 17th February 2026 : KO 19:45
I'm subbing in for @LoOkOuT again tonight for the rearranged Pompey home fixture. We named a largely unchanged team apart from Leaburn being back in for Godden, who apparently has a hamstring injury (hopefully not too bad), and the man, the myth, the legend that is Collins Sechenje being on the bench again. First half was…
BEAT THE BOOKIE 2025/26 - Week 22 results & Week 23 fixtures
Welcome back following a pause for the FA cup. My apologies to those of you who looked for the thread last week - I didn't realise it was effectively a break until I was getting the odds together. 10 out of 60 lifers got a return in week 22. @stackitsteve is the weekly winner with picks of a win for Manchester United…
STATBANK: CHARLTON 1-3 PORTSMOUTH
thanks to the 79 markers I expect that there are a few mistakes as my brain scrambled while doing this, let me know in the usual way!!

England Cricket 2026
With the Ashes now a distant memory (we wish), it is time to look forward. So, what do we have coming up for England? Well, the real highlights are likely to be the two T20 World Cups – the men have theirs in we taking place in February/March in India and Sri Lanka and the Women’s competition is on home soil during…
Kevin Lisbie - now manager of Cray Valley Paper Mills (p5)
This season we have scored 59 goals Colchester 58. Interestingly he has scored 17 in a struggling side and has no doubt been involved in many assists confirming what many of us thought that he would have been rather good at this level. Humble pie this summer?

How Many points for Championship Survival? and How do we get them?
Looking at the last 10 Championship seasons -you need 50 points on average for the 22nd team to displace the 21st team -you need 48 points if you just beat 22nd place team by 1 point So after 25 games played, we need about 21 points to make 50, so a point a game BUT Sheffield Weds have been so poor (competitively) that we…
Grand National 2026
Eyes down, it’s that time again. Entries for this season's Big One due in just over a week (weights allocated mid-Feb, as usual) but there's reason right now to begin serious evaluation of likely entries and, if the fancy takes, nab some early prices. Next Thursday sees the 2026 Thyestes at Gowran Park and there’s a few…
Has the Jokes thread disappeared?
I've looked at the first 7 pages and can't see it anywhere.
Tyreece Campbell thread
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…
New formation/ shape needed?
After the recent unconvincing performances and seeing Fevrier and Coady signing, I was thinking how can we improve and be more of an attacking threat Maybe a 433? Kaminski Clarke/Ramsay Jones Bell Chambers Docherty Coady/Coventry Rankin- Costello Fevrier Dykes/Leaburn Campbell Thoughts…
Palace fans embarrassing themselves again
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJpwJ_6-Di0#t=73 Oh dear.
I am going to say it!! Yes I am, Nathan Jones......................
Out!!!! yes I said it and I don't care. Shit negative football, making 4-6 changes every game tell us he is desperate and has no clue. Dropping decent players who have played well for no reason. Horrible little manager with no clue whatsoever. How have we come into the season with no attacking midfielders and no wingers.…
Unusual or tenuous claim to fame
One of my earliest memories and still vivid to this day. I would've been 4 or 5 and was out with my Nan who lived in Peckham. We were out possibly shopping and I can remember an old Bedford ambulance constantly driving around the local streets at a fair pace with it's bell ringing ( no sirens or blue lights in those days…
100 games or More for Charlton Athletic
Conor Coventry’s 2nd half appearance on Tuesday night v Portsmouth saw him become the 5th Charlton Athletic player in the current squad to reach 100 appearances in all competitions for the club. Tyreece Campbell, Miles Leaburn, Lloyd Jones and Macaulay Gillesphey the other 4 to reach that milestone. The last time Five…

Songs A-Z with live video (New rules from page 114)
I saw this idea elsewhere and thought some would like to try it for fun. The rules are you post a song starting with the next letter alphabetically than the one before, but including a live video. You shouldn't jump back a letter if someone gets in quickly. Once B follows A you shouldn't then post an A song until we go…
League 1 25/26
I knew they were on a poor run, but hadn't realised that Leyton Orient are now 3rd bottom. And that's with the league's second highest scorer (Dom Ballard with 15). Port Vale at the bottom (Stockley and Amos) have looked doomed for a while, but there is a real battle to avoid the other 3 relegation places.
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?

Championship Games 25/26
They just led into Birmingham Vs Ipswich with "Ipswich down a division, Birmingham up a division, it's Tom Brady against Ed Sheeran" 🤮🤮🤮 Anyway, who's your money on tonight?
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…
Happy birthday Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor

Lime Bike incident by Charlton Station/ Troughton Rd Tuesday Mar 4 - witness appeal
Last Tuesday evening I left the match at the final whistle to walk to my car. As I reached the bus stop outside the rail station in Church Road, I noticed a LOT (dozen or so) of Lime bikes parked by the railing behind the bus stop, by the sloping footway into Troughton Road (alongside the station). As I walked down the…

Masterchef the professionals. 2026.
As a diversion from football, tonight’s game against Portsmouth being quite painful, let’s talk Masterchef. Watching this year’s Professional series I’m astounded. They all seem so good. It’s a far cry from when Lloyd Grossman was the presenter! Back then sophistication in cookery for Brits was putting pepper in your baked…
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…

Charlton Athletic are delighted to announce the permanent signing of Belgian international goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski from Luton Town for an undisclosed fee. The 6ft 3in stopper won the 2023/24 Premier League Save of the Season and played every game during the Hatters’ top-flight campaign, making the second-highest number…
Non Football Facts That Don't Sound True But Are
We have a thread for football but not one for other sports. Rather than start one for each individual sport, perhaps we could use this one to post such facts? Anyway, I'll start it off with this one.
Headphones Norm Barker RIP - funeral Wed Jan 28th 11am (P21)
I think the vast majority of us know who it is but as the club haven’t named id be grateful if we can withold saying on here until somewhere more official does. I left the ground in tears, only spoke to him a fortnight ago. RIP The club are devastated to report that a Charlton Athletic supporter has died following a…
Loan watch 25/26
Now we have a few players out on loan I thought it might be good to have one thread to keep track of them. Although unlikely to play for us again I am including Terry Taylor as he is still a Charlton player. Nathan Asiimwe - Season long loan to Wimbledon…
