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…

Ezri Konsa (p3. England U20 call up)
Been very impressed with him so far! First game looked nervous but still did well and last 2 games he has been solid. Quick, reads the game well and good in the tackle. Is he the real deal? And should he be keeping Bauer out the team?

2006/07 - Twenty years on....
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…

As with the past 2 summers, I will update this thread with a list of all incomings for teams in our division.

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…

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…

Bradley Wright-Phillips
Was Powell ultimately right to let him go out on loan ? Fair enough in hindsight, it didn't really effect us, but I initially thought we were a much stronger outfit with him, albeit on the bench. Should we keep him over the summer for next season? I'm saying yes.

Anyone else need a break from football after a season of Nathan Jones ball.
I’ve done the maths and I went to 29 Charlton games in 25/26. Though I’m no football purist Nathan jones ball was an incredibly tough watch, and it’s the first time after I’ve felt I’ve need a break from football. Not even that excited for the World Cup…

If any which club do you have a soft spot for
