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…

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…

New State-of-the-art Pitch at The Valley
Charlton Athletic are delighted to confirm that a new state-of-the-art pitch will be installed at The Valley ahead of the 2024/25 season. The hybrid-stitched Desso pitch will have a much greater durability, meaning it will be in better condition throughout the campaign. As part of the investment, all women’s first-team…

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.

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.…

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…

Latest Films
Anyone seen anything lately? Saw The Road: Grim post-apocalyptic affair. Don't recommend it. Up in the Air: Clooney's latest. Slightly sentimental comedy. Good subtle laughs in it and definitely worth a watch.

Summer 2026 (Non- Charlton) Championship Transfers
As with the past 2 summers, I will update this thread with a list of all incomings for teams in our division. First though we will likely see outgoings with the retained lists that will be announced by most non-playoff sides this week. However Norwich jumped the gun and actually announced theirs last week, so will start…

Managerial sackings, comings and goings

QETTLE TAP
Hi Can anyone recommend someone who services and repairs Qettle boiling water taps in the Blackfen/Bexley area. Our Qettle tap has been switched off and unused for around 18 months. Before that, we unfortunately let limescale build up and there was a leak somewhere, so it will likely need a full service, descaling, and…

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.

Pubs, and the demise of.
Some of you may be aware that the Porcupine in Mottingham has closed down and been bought by Lidl. My personal view is that the place was a dump and would rather it became a Harvester or something along those lines but 1400 people have signed a petition calling for the pub to be saved. Have Pubs had their day or what?

Favourite period supporting England
So with the World Cup fast approaching, what era do you remember most fondly supporting The Three Lions? (Or Ireland, Scotland, Wales etc) In 1986 I was eleven and from that tournament to the end of Italia 90, were my halcyon days of international football. The realism of our place in the grand scheme of things hadn't hit…

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…

Other team's new kits
Any decent offerings or horrors this year people have seen? Norwich are the worst I've seen so far, not only are all 3 kits horrible, the worst being the 3rd kit: But they have gone home - yellow and green halves, away - green with yellow stripes, and 3rd kit - yellow and green hoops. Defeats the object of any away kit…

NBA 25/26 season (and fantasy league)
Hello, if a few people are interested I have made a CL fantasy league. https://nbafantasy.nba.com/leagues/auto-join/w4y0a0 Every game, every night counts, so some nights you may have 6+ players (only 5 score), other nights 1 or 2. It evens out. One tip - you get to pick your captain for one night per week, eg pick SGA at…

Is the marketplace board still working on the 'new' site?
Hi all. In my work as a football shirt seller I've come across something rather special. It's a 2000/02 Charlton Home shirt with Johansson on the back, and he's signed it too. I thought about keeping it, but it's not my size and my room doesn't have anywhere particularly good to frame it and stick it up on a wall. I'd like…
