Next Thursday sees the 2026 Thyestes at Gowran Park and there’s a few…

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…

Best Away Support You Have Been In?
Following on from the smallest away support thread. Doesn't have to be large numbers. Just general atmosphere and everything else. Carlisle away 86 2-0 down, 3-2 up always sticks in my mind. Fulham away that season as well. Won 3-0 I believe. Newcastle the first year back in the Premier was also pretty good as was…

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…

POST MATCH THREAD : Charlton Athletic V QPR: Friday 6th February 2026 : KO 20.01
@LoOkOuT has actually made it to the ground for tonight's match, so I'm subbing in for him. Apologies for the drop in quality. In the first half we started a little bit slowly, but once we got into our groove, it's probably the best first half I've seen us have this season. We had a delay for Conor Coady to get his head…

Why does T.Campbell keep getting selected
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.

VAR - are you a fan?
Have to say I was never a fan of it before it was introduced but given the constant criticism of referees it was inevitable it would be used. It has been a disaster in the Women's World Cup - it's slowed the game down massively and incorrect decisions still appear to be made in respect of penalties and offsides. I'm also…
