Home - Charlton Life

POST-MATCH THREAD: Charlton Athletic v Oxford Utd: Saturday 20th December 2025: KO 15:00
Oxford visit the Valley on a poor run, with the Addicks playing host to the strugglers, sitting in a relegation spot, after a poor run of our own. The question was whether Charlton had managed to reverse course enough after last week’s singular point. To make the most of it, the home side were looking for all three points…

England Cricket 2025
Time for a new thread. So, what do we have to look forward to in 2025? Well, for a start, the Men have the Champions Trophy in February/March. The main focus of attention for me this year, however, are likely to be the Test Series against each of the two big guns - India at home and the Ashes in Australia. It doesn't get…

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…

Millwall obsessed.
My X timeline is absolutely full of Millwall fans tonight posting about their hatred for Nathan and dislike of us and our fanbase. This coming from a fanbase who will constantly tell us we don’t matter to them. Weird bunch.

Rate your Christmas Tree 2025
@charltonkeston said: Right, it’s the time of year to get ready for the end of the year. I bought tree about 4/5years ago from Sainsbury’s on their death row after Christmas for about £3. It was potted and I felt sorry for it so we brought it home, repotted it and later replanted it in the garden. Yesterday I dug it up…

Under 21s (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…
This week I have been reading
As I have been working nights this week , well I say working but it's supervising really which means telling the fellas what to do at the start of the night and making sure they are there all night. This has meant I have had a chance to do some reading and that means the rather hardcore Scar tissue , the Anthony Kiedis…

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. Without doubt NJ is the best manger since Curbs but what on earth does he see in Campbell? Stoke HT- TC no crosses, no going passed his man, tracking back…
Fans Bar
For the first time in ages I went to the Fans Bar post match. I thought it was a bit empty given that spirits were high having rescued a point. Now I know why! One bar was shut at 5.45pm and last orders called at 6pm! Peroni was £7 a pint and I’m not sure what I’m getting to justify the price. Added to which when I ordered…
Charlton fans in strange places….
Not sure if there is already a thread but this stems from a conversation with @PeteF this morning. His son, Dan, always moaned that people would stop and chat to Pete at games. They were in Berlin at a Hertha match, Pete was rather drunk, that in itself is not unusual but someone came up to him and said your Pete Finch…
Jordan Cousins
After watching him last night for only 8 minutes, to me he looks like a Steven Gerrard type player. I have not seen enough of him to know what type of player he is but that run forward to win the penalty last night was absolutely superb and something we have lacked from our midfield for some while. Has anyone seen him play…
