POST-MATCH THREAD: Charlton Athletic v Preston Nth End: Saturday 29th August 2026: KO 15:00
One change from the previous league match starting eleven this afternoon, with Ivan Mesik coming in for the injured Billy Koumetio to take on the potato botherers from Lancashire. Patience was the word for the first half. Charlton prodded, speculated, and probed in attack to little avail. Conversely, the home side were…

2026-27 CL Prediction League Week 3 Fixtures
Well, hopefully everyone is into the swing of the 2026-27 Prediction League, though it seems several are keeping their powder dry. Last week was a low-scoring week, but Week 3 might be a chance to show our bouncebackability. (I'm hooked on managers' quotes this week). Talking of 'hooking', those with an interest in fishing…

I like Thierry Small…
There, I said it. I don’t believe he was ‘a greedy bastard’. I sense it was far more that Jones didn’t want / see him being in his starting XI in the Champ, and our wage offer reflected that. So he ended up uprooting to the other end of the country where he was wanted more. He always gave 100%, was exciting to watch,…

Fans Bar
For the first time in ages I went to the Fans Bar post match. I thought it was a bit empty given that spirits were high having rescued a point. Now I know why!

Bag Limit Size Ban at The Valley
This seems to have snuck in as a rule completely unannounced from Saturday's game that bags bigger than A4 are banned from The Valley, CAST are on the case but I'm disappointed at the zero communication from the club about it, especially as I often have a rucksack with me to carry a coat & water, or whenever I come…
