2026-27 CL Prediction League Week 9 Fixtures
When I was about 7, my Dad took me on a weekly visit to Blackheath, where we used a couple of jumpers as goalposts and played 'three goals and in'. The rules were simple: once I scored three goals, I took my turn in goal, and vice versa. When it came to sport, my Dad was enthusiastic, although I never lived up to his…

MATCH PREVIEW: Charlton Athletic vs. Norwich City - Saturday 24th October 2026 - 12:30pm Kick-Off
With the forum clearly desperate for a preview and @ForeverAddickted possibly busy elsewhere I thought I’d start a thread, it won’t be as good as FA’s of course. Norwich come into this one in poor form having lost their last 5 in the league and sitting 21st. The fans anger isn’t directed at manager Phillippe Clement but…

‘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…

Cyber Attack
Any of you boffins have a view on the cyber attack warning issued on Monday? It seems the Ruskies are infiltrating not just the routers of business and commerce, but also our home hubs. They are not so interested in whether Charlton play with one or two up front, but rather more in using our collective space to cause…

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…

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.

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…

Europa League
There was a time when we were talking about getting into the UEFA Cup. I know it was a life time ago, and we were probably never ready for it, but I can't help feeling that no one really wants to compete in it next season. Most of the English teams in it play youngsters that don't get anywhere the first team for a Premier…
