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…

The Under 21s Thread (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…

The Owners
Think it’s important to remember that they basically gave us the lowest budget in the league.

RIP Jesus De Miguel
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/ck62yvz046pjo Not a known name but a player who died after one (admittedly pretty horrible) challenge. Doesn't seem to have had any conditions prior, just awful luck and a terrible tackle.
