Loan Watch 26/27
As with last season, I'll be keeping an eye on our loanees this season. It will be interesting to see if any of last year's loanees get moves up the pyramid. We've had our first loan announced with Gassan Ahadme going to Cambridge. https://www.cafc.co.uk/news/gassan-ahadme-joins-cambridge-united-loan It wouldn't be a…

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…

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…

Energy Bills
I know that the price cap is being removed and prices are expected to go up but ours is going up by around 60% (£600) a year and there aren't really any better deals out there (I don't think the price changes have even been factored into this - this seems like a ridiculously large rise. We do regular meter readings at the…

from Vital Football : James Walker's proposed move to Southend fell through due to an irregular rhythm of the heart. The move seemed cut and dried, but then suddenly at the end of last week the plug was pulled and his £200,000 move to the Shrimpers cancelled and he returned to the Valley, with BBC Essex saying that medical…

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…
