POST-MATCH THREAD: Charlton Athletic v Norwich City: Saturday 24th October 2026: KO 12:30
Four changes today for this early kickoff against visitors Norwich City. Charlie Kelman, Joe Rankin-Costello, Josh Edwards, and Sonny Carey make the starting eleven. Norwich are in a poor run of form, as are Charlton, so this was likely to be a cagey affair. Charlton seemed to have lost the toss and Norwich turned them…

2026-27 CL Prediction League Week 9 Results
For those who think that AI is taking over the world, it is time to worry. In a low-scoring week, Chas GPT was this week's high scorer with 7 points, telling us what to predict before anyone else posted. I congratulated Chas on his triumph and asked for a few words. Chas replied, "Form is temporary, class is artificial.…

‘Be Ready’ campaign - just in case
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cred3xnj0j0qo Browsing through the news I come across this little gem. First I’ve heard of the initiative. Do they know something we don’t? What a great way to get people to panic buy 3 days worth of supplies.

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…

2026-27 CL Prediction League Week 10 Fixtures
TMA is in Thailand right now. Today, it hammered with rain, which wiped out the internet in my hotel for the rest of the day. Hence, the slightly late posting this week. In the line of duty, I've been forced to go to a nearby pub, where the wifi is fine, at 11 pm to post this week's fixtures. It proves running the…

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…

How many of these PCNs did you get done for ?
I (my car(s), because my wife also drives it occasionally, has generated a few over the years though so far (earlier) this year all I’ve got done for is driving at 23mph in a 20mph zone so clearly with 10 million plus PCNs having been issued I’ve clearly not been doing my bit.

Owners- Short arms & Long pockets..........or no pockets?
Touching on my comment on the post-match thread (Watford), I'm curious to what others think are the reasons our board haven't invested in the squad sufficiently over the summer? Is it down to they simply can't afford to? Rumours about their wealth seem to go against this, so is it just that they simply don't want to invest…

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.…

Gardening Advice
Oh this is going to be a fun thread... Not just because of the usual comments I'll no doubt get but also because I'm quite new when it comes to the subject.

As the curtain falls on 25/26, attention naturally turns to 26/27—a season that also marks twenty years since our Premier League relegation. It’s a sobering thought that there are Addicks supporters now in their twenties who weren’t around for those top-flight years, relying only on stories from older fans about the…

Who should be captain?
In my opinion Lloyd Jones isn’t a captain in the true sense of the word. I want my captain cajoling players, bawling at players when necessary, a quiet word in their ear and encouraging when needed. After he gave away the pen Ouma needed someone saying, keep your head, forget it, keep going. But nothing. The same with…

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.
