As some one who is slowly dying of old age one second at a time I find this highly offensive.golfaddick said:I hate this thread. Everyday there are 100's of new posts, with 95% being either a load of crap. tosser's trying to outdo one another, puerile jokes or WUM's. The only posts worth reading are from @Airman Brown @Redhenry or @nth london addick . Keep up the work you 3, the rest of you please just go away & die.

I don’t know, if I was to hazard a guess it will be because it is still not certain which league we will play in next seasonflyingkiwiDK said:
What’s the sticking point then? Price?nth london addick said:It’s not wrong it’s the same
until someone shows the colour of their money which I know for 100% certainty has not happened we are in the same boat as last week and I will even put my neck on the block and sat we won’t be sold in February

Which (sorry to say), is why I have opted for a July completion date.nth london addick said:

Since this post isn't from one of the 3 you mentioned does that mean you have just told yourself to go away and die?golfaddick said:

Escutcheon. Escutcheon! Honestly, you live your whole life thinking you'll never see that word and of course it comes up in the takeover thread. I think by the end of this takeover saga we'll have used every single word in the English language and invented 50 new ones. And we still won't have been sold.Stig said:
Hmmm, a Charlton crest used as an escutcheon over a Union Flag. The Union Flag has become closely associated with Brexit, indicating perhaps that someone is about to leave. But who - Meire? She has already gone. Joyes? No offence, but surely not significant enough to warrant an enamel badge. Could it be... dare we dream the dream... Duchatelet? Sadly, I think not. For surely if it was we'd see the famous crest of a rat-couchant lying sinister over a field of duck tape. Perhaps it refers to the possibility of Charlton leaving. But leaving what? Following the club's defeat to Oxford, it can only mean leaving their current place in the league hierarchy for a more lowly realm.Henry Irving said:

Its all a bit (very) childish tbh, then again no more than I would have expected.
You cant win the argument by facts therefore resort to childish ridicule.
It's not childish, it's the art of debate but you wont understand that either.
Just like you indulged in name calling before complaining about other people's childish comments?
I honestly can't decide whether this has all been a massive wind up, or just an astonishing lack of self awareness. I'm leaning towards the former.
Meanwhile back to the takeover. Here is your cryptic clue on yesterday's gossip.
Let's look at the words, to see if they give any more clues. The second word Athletic comes from the Greek 'Athlētēs', meaning that someone is competing for a prize. In this case, perhaps another team competing for Charlton's prized place in League 1. But who? Let's see if there's a clue in the top word, Charlton. The keen-eyed here will notice that the first four letters in the word Char are the same as in our clubs name, Charlton. But what on the second set of four letters 'lton'. This is strange form when seen in isolation like this, but when then you notice that 'lton' or more properly L'ton is clearly a contraction on Luton.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is written in the stars and has been carefully recorded for us on an enamel badge by peoples of ancient wisdom. If Duchatelet remains, the Kingdom of Charlton shall perish to be replaced by pretenders from the north called Luton Town.6 -
Aardvark, proletariat & xylophone. Three words that do NOT appear on this thread (well obviously they do now..), but do appear on other CL threads. You may very well be right about CL as a whole being a lexicographer's delight (1st appearance of lexicographer btw)Garrymanilow said:

Can we also invent new words here?
How about disimminentation - the slow realisation that something is not actually about to happen any minute soon.10 -
If that's the case then the alleged prospective purchasers know just as much as the septicgenarian shit4brains, which can't be a good thing. We're almost mathematically safe from relegation already, the viscosity of the shit below us in the league will prevent dropping into division 4. With the pathetic scouse pisshead in charge of the 1st team there's fuck all chance of promotion. Ergo next season will commence in division 3. Anyone seriously considering anything else is not fit for purpose and of course precisely the sort of wanker roly will favour as purchaser.nth london addick said:

well by the end of this month the picture should be abit clearer with 2homes games against 2 of the top six teams with away games also against Doncaster and MKDons. If that is no help than 3 away games to follow in the first 13 days of march should tell us all we need to know..nth london addick said:
