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.…

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…

‘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…

I am going to say it!! Yes I am, Nathan Jones......................
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.…

AITA - extension and neighbour situation.
Classic am I the arsehole question. I don't think we've done anything wrong but happy to be corrected on that and welcome any advice on how to operate going forwards. Background: We bought this house almost exactly 5 years ago. It hasn't had much done to it since the 60s or 70s so was always a pretty big project. Did quite…

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…

Thoughts on moving to Cornwall

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…

Managerial sackings, comings and goings

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…

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…
