Fuel shortages
Reading that we could be weeks away from fuel rationing. Don’t know about others, but I am already getting anxious when my car reaches half a tank. Find myself feeling light headed and sweaty when filling up the vehicle. Think I might be coming down with car owners virus.

Daylight offside
The idea that clear daylight between an attacker and the second-last defender should decide offside as suggested by Arsene Wenger is being trialled by the Canadian Premier League. The current rules are unclear at best - is this the answer?

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…

Just a Bus Stop in Greenwich? Insult or Praise?
Palarse fans at the women’s match yesterday mustered this as an insult: “You’re just a bus stop in Greenwich.” Some of us were quite proud of that fact. Perhaps we should adopt it?

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…

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…

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…

Owlstalk - They Just Love Us Don't they?
Should be an absolute rout by the Wednesday. Three, four, five, who knows where it will end. Don't know what all the fuss is about 4-0 to the MASSIVE and it'll be like a training session for our lads Don't know much about a few players of their team now. Obviously Church and Sordell will be a problem, but do they both…

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…

VAR - are you a fan?
Have to say I was never a fan of it before it was introduced but given the constant criticism of referees it was inevitable it would be used. It has been a disaster in the Women's World Cup - it's slowed the game down massively and incorrect decisions still appear to be made in respect of penalties and offsides. I'm also…

Car Finance Mis-selling
Just seen the Martin Lewis campaign where hidden commission taken by dealers on past PCPs and car finance deals must now be disclosed and any paid can be claimed back. Now illegal, but historically the finance company quoted a rate of interest to the dealer it wanted to earn on the finance, say 4%, but the dealer could…

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.

Fast. Very, very fast. Potentially, the best sprinter Britain has ever produced, I think. In his semi final there he could easily have run 3 tenths of a second faster.

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?

Mary Rand, the first British woman to win an Olympic gold medal in athletics, has died at the age of 86. Rand secured the long jump title at the Tokyo Games in 1964, also winning silver in the inaugural women's pentathlon and bronze in the 4x100m relay. That meant she also became the first British woman to win gold, silver…
