2025-26 CL Prediction League Week 25 Fixtures / 4th Round Cup
Last weekend, I was sitting in a pub, watching two lads about 10 years old playing football outside in the rain. They were wearing t-shirts and looked drenched. I can still remember a game against Bury when I watched Charlton win in pouring rain. I stood with my friend wearing a t-shirt on the vast East terrace and met my…
POST-MATCH THREAD: Charlton Athletic v Stoke City: Wednesday 11th February 2026: KO 19:45
Not in a position to give much of a summary but Charlton started brightly and were unlucky not to be up in the first hand after a handful of good chances. Stoke came into it a little more in the final fifteen minutes of the first half and had the odd chance of their own but couldn’t score either. With a lot of injuries…
MATCH THREAD : Charlton Athletic V Stoke City : Wednesday 11th February 2026 : KO 19:45
Good evening fellow Addicks So tonight we enter the second episode in the very important trilogy of home matches we have now got, and tonight under The Valley floodlights Stoke City roll into town currently sitting in 13th spot, 5 places above us on 43 points, but certainly beatable based on their recent history.

Harry Kane
Scored a hat trick tonight Loris gets sent off and he volunteers to go in goal, safe to say it will be the last time he does that https://vine.co/v/Ohih9Aapn9m
How big are we?
It seems to me that a lot of our supporters still see us as a Premier League club that happens to have fallen on hard times and currently find ourselves languishing in the 3rd tier. I personally have always seen us as a top-half Championship club that had a good spell in the top flight and currently finding ourselves…

Amazon and their poor delivery service.
Anyone had much dealings with amazon logistics the company amazon now use to send their parcels? I've had three parcels go missing in a week and various claims that they have attempted to deliver when we were blatantly in. Going to give me an ulcer I swear.

Leicester analysis - "6 points was very generous" - Charlie Methven
Really interesting assessment of Leicesters last few years:- Starts at 16 minutes in:- From his breakdown the independent panel took pity on them - should have been at least 9 points. https://youtu.be/bT3KyNb7BgM?si=UmFtck2DBvKNhqY7
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…

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…
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…

Nathan Jones has a Rival ?
Nathan Jones isn't the only Manager/Coach that goes "mad" on the touchline during the match. On the BBC 6 o'clock news today the Hearts manager Derek McInnes was shown doing a "Nathan" on the touchline when Hearts scored. Has our Nathan got any other touchline celebration rivals ?

Club cricket thread
The Kent and Kent Regional Cricket Leagues started up on Saturday - hope everyone had a good weekend, if they were playing! Now, I'm sure there are a variety of us here who play a bit of cricket (or, like in my case, do a not-that-passable imitation of cricket actions in match situations), and I thought maybe we'd all want…

Bunch of Amateurs
Hi all, I've posted this in a couple of other threads but hopefully it's worth having its own! I've spent the last six months working on a documentary project about amateur football. What I've got so far is a proof-of-concept edit that's 40 minutes long. While I can't really promote this (because of music rights), I have…
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…

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…
