yesterday driving to work I pulled up alongside Jacko waiting to pull out at Well Hall roundabout. When I noticed it was Jacko I was beeping my horn and waving like a loon sticking my thumb up at him.
When he noticed instead of looking at me like a weirdo and speeding off he smiled and gave me a thumbs up back. He's a nice fella and I'm glad he's our captain.
I was chuffed and it made my morning. I'm 28 years old!!!
Nowt wrong or weird with that, some bloke on here names his dogs after Charlton Captains, Jackson being one of them, now thats weird.
People seem very confused about this goalkeeper issue. Henderson is our number one. That is a fact. He's going to be injured for the start of the season but the second he's fit he'll be back in the team. As a result we need a third keeper to either compete with or replace Pope for a few weeks. That's it. All this 'we can do better', 'he hasn't played in forever', 'he's whoever's third choice' business misses the point. Whoever we get isn't even coming in to be our first choice. Good luck selling that to any decent team's first choice who plays every week. The alternative is to look down into the lower leagues, but even then that keeper won't want to sit on our bench for 90% of the season and will probably cost a decent amount. It's short term cover. Be realistic.
I was with you all the way until the last sentence. If you want realistic, get yourself over to the Plato thread. This is the rumours thread and realism is the last thing on anyone's mind.
ack&White @youmeandnufc Hearing possible truth in Rob Elliot going to #CAFC on loan to cover Stephen Henderson injury, #Charlton have certainly enquired 2:52 PM - 30 Jul 2015
Did I not mention him last week but slow up north
If you give an infinite number of monkeys a typewriter, eventually one of them will recreate the complete works of Shakespeare.
Actually, no. With one typewriter between the lot of them, they'll not do very much in the way of writing, will they?
It's the endless picking of each others arses and the de-fleaing that will slow them down. And IF they are Benoboes they'll be more interested in mass copulation...
Welcome to Charlton Life, David Attenborough.
What do you make of the CL species ?
I feel they may be related to the Benoboes ?
Substitute 'intellectual masturbation' for 'copulation' and I think you're on to something.
Henderson has had an operation on his shoulder and unless you know what proceedure was performed there is no way that you can accurately estimate his recovery time.

Henderson is having an operation on his shoulder. If anyone thinks he'll be back in three to four weeks I think they are being optimistic.
It'll be a rotator cuff injury. Pretty certainly. Would be recommended 6 weeks in a sling (4-6) then plenty of exercises afterwords to strengthen it back up, and if you scamp on that time you're playing with fire to re-damage it. And if it's not, I can't foresee any other shoulder surgery's recover time being too much shorter.
I think we want a keeper who is ready to compete with Henderson, regardless of whether Hendo's fit or not, why? Because chances are when they are in the first team it may be for a fair period - we don't want someone who's simply not ready or confident throughout these periods, it'd be stupid. That's not Pope for me, personally, and definitely not Taylor.
I had exactly the same operation and it's still not right I dislocated it 4 times then they decided to operate.it was 6 weeks till I could drive the another 3 months before I could lift anything and the 5/6 months before I could do contact sports
All very interesting, but what Hendo will want to know is, how long before you could have a w...?
Is Moose really that reliable? He announced the other day that Diego Poyet had scored a winner when he wasn't even on the pitch. Haha
Blokes an idiot.
I was involved in a Q&A with Alan Brazil and Ray Parlour last Friday and neither of them can stand him.
Fat Iron.
They seem to tolerate him on the shows on TalkSport and he's very much part of the banter. But then we don't know how he's perceived 'off air' if you like. I reckon there's a lot old footballers boys club and those that are involved in football punditry in general. I can imagine the you and us type scenario

Luzon interview after game saying still looking for 2 more players. I guess that's just a repeat of the last interview, but still encouraging. Would love another striker and a winger, but practically will probably be a right back and a winger.

It's a striker I want to see although I doubt that likely until January and then only if Igor can't get back to full fitness.
I can see the basis for a very decent squad that might not need much addition in the summer which might leave enough money to push the boat out on that 20 goal striker.

Only what he does on the pitch matters
In the manager and owner we trust.
Said the QPR fans when he signs for them
