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…

Window Closing Tomorrow... How Would You Feel?
If when the transfer window closes tomorrow we have made no further signings or departures, where would you stand? Disappointed – Feels like a missed opportunity to strengthen key areas and move on a few players who don't look part of the plans. Fuming – Not good enough. We should be doing more to improve the squad before…

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…

Current Adverts you hate!!
The velux advert with the block looking at his ceiling like he's having a stroke?. The two adverts with the dirge "This girl is on fire" as music, one is Lloyds and the girl falling off her bike, the even more intensely evil one has a choir gargling Listerine! I cant get to the remote fast enough.

Thoughts on moving to Cornwall
Always been a dream of ours, we love going on Holiday down there basically every summer… I'm 43 in a couple of months, my wife has just turned 38, and we've got an 8-year old Son who is Autistic, has ADHD and has a cognitive learning disorder. House is already on the market (its a three bed for reference), as we're fed up…

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…

Ongoing British Tennis…

Ebbsfleet United
The new name for Gravesend and Northfleet "to tap in to the regeneration of the area". And the fans groups approved it. So what would you change Charlton's name to if you had to. Only as bit of fun as with should stick with our name and colours as we have always done unlike Millwall Rovers and the Claret and Blue team from…

Home ends you have been in watching Charlton
Charlton away games only, i have done quite a few home ends for one reason or another. Mostly I think because in the 70s and 80s things were more relaxed in terms of crowd control and security and my Dad would turn up with us at local grounds and it was natural (and probably safer sometimes) to drop in the home end. Later…

Loan Watch 26/27

Managerial sackings, comings and goings

What’s happened to Harvey Knibbs?
Remember the excitement of that winning goal in injury time in our first game back in the Championship last season? The photograph of an ecstatic Covered End with the goal scorer standing on the wall, arms outstretched? What we would give for something similar this Saturday. But what about the player who scored the goal?…

General things that confuse you
I'll start: - Why anyone would put an orange fake tan on and think "Yep, looking good". - The popularity of that Kardashian programme. - Most tin openers. - People camping outside a hospital for days on end in the hope of catching a glimpse at a stranger's baby. - American football.

Songs A-Z with live video (New rules from page 114)
I saw this idea elsewhere and thought some would like to try it for fun. The rules are you post a song starting with the next letter alphabetically than the one before, but including a live video. You shouldn't jump back a letter if someone gets in quickly. Once B follows A you shouldn't then post an A song until we go…

Half time refreshments (or lack of)
Really poor... wasn't all this supposed to be improved? Family stand, No water, no hot dogs, limited number of pies left. I understand its not the staff running the kiosk fault but the excuse "more supporters then we expected " is a ridiculous excuse. Not happy.

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.…

John 'Fred' Saunders
As I reach the last handful of players to be included in volume 3 of 'The Valiant 1000', there remains a few about whom we have limited knowledge, so I am wondering if any of the sleuths on Charlton Life can unearth anything about Fred Saunders. He was born in Maidenhead in 1943, but went to school at Plumstead. He was a…
