I only recently realised that Charlton's badge is meant to be a hand holding a sword. I always thought it was some kind of riding or wellington boot.

it may well be my favourite football club badge

all-time

(all-time most disgusting kit from sunderland there i mean)

I saw a LouJag doppelgänger in the library the other week. True story.

Just how many of them are there?

et encore

First professional game I ever attended was Brighton at home to Charlton at the old Goldstone Ground. Score?? Brighton 7 Charlton 0. The journey back was spent with the Brighton fans I was with explaining to me how it wasn't like this EVERY week. So, yeah, Charlton lol indeed.

you must be really old

Thanks for the reminder.

sorry, my counterzinging parochial defence of charlton's honour took an unnecessary turn there - lol away at a club for whom a match against the bottom club represents a near cast-iron chance of defeat

jeez played the man there imo

No worries LJ :)

What really stood out to the 10 year old me, was just how annoyed the fans I was with were. It was a case of "I've been coming for years, we've just been relegated the previous season, what have YOU done to deserve seeing that performance?" etc etc. Honestly they were really put out about it. So I went to the midweek game the following Tuesday (under floodlights! magical) and Albion beat Bristol Rovers(?) 4-2! After which it was decided that I was a lucky mascot. Yeah, didn't last long;)

If it's any consolation one of my first away games was at the old Valley and Charlton won 1-0 :)

Ha! Well, I'm not surprised they were annoyed - if there's one thing a lower-league fan likes to do, it's somehow internalise and unify their team's ever-mottled matrix of success and failure until it's an ingraned truth that success is a springboard for failure and vice versa - every result is seen as an aberration unless that result is a drearily eventful 1-1 draw

knew this would fucking happen.

lol charlton athletic? might drop a 3 goal lead herre

lol denied

good, in-depth article from the bbc of all places concerning the club's finances

Awesome:

Duffer.

Charlton hint at return to former glories after years of decline
Charlton have struggled since the departure of Alan Curbishley in 2006 but they are ready to put their recent lols behind them

Nice to see the old-timey clubs getting their week in the sun

lol that article while well-intentioned is pure propaganda

dude didn't see our 2-2 with the daggers

Chris Powell is apparently the frontrunner to become Charlton manager. Chris Powell! That would make me so happy.

omg

best news of all time

^^^that reiteration runs thru my head every time I think of our man

kinda weird knowing my club has appointed objectively the nigh-on most pleasant and well-rounded dude in modern British football, the biggest playing legend the club has had in the modern day, and by extension the single person most likely to receive universal fan support

it'd be like if cantona succeeded ferguson

dalglish to liverpool

was going to post about east fife 4 forfar 3 and how I had been introducing my gf to tim gudgeon and final score for the first time, and that during the SPL results I had mentioned the infamous 4-5 scoreline, and then as if by magic a virtual repeat showed up (I hadn't even known they were playing each other)...but you guys have already covered that on the scottish football thread, so I'll say this instead

booyah

It's not, is it? Posting history is ... inconclusive.

Admirable conceptual rigour from the infrequent Charltonian

Indeed, and that prog monstrity linked to a few weeks back is like a stray fingerprint at a crime scene.

WHO THE FUCK IS LOLLING NOW POTATO BOY

lol

otm

charlton coach on football league show, awwww. tearing up :c

uh, well done?

London is the Montevideo of England. the Premier League of Uruguay has like 15 clubs from Montevideo.

congrats lj, the se7 risorgimento calls for a return to more ample posting

montevideo is the only sizeable city in uruguay, the second city salto has less than 100k inhabitants (tho it did give us both suarez and cavani iirc)

montevideo has about half the population of uruguay living it it. london has about 12% of the population of england living in it.

any other population queries, throw them my way.

what % are lolracist

prob the majority if my limited experiences of latin america are anything to go by.

montevideo has about half the population of uruguay living it it. london has about 12% of the population of england living in it.

exactly (..) i mean, that was kind of my point, the English premier league should be much more geographically diverse.

is poyet's kid any good

he's potentially the best player we've had since I started watching football and an England starter, but he won't be here next season. no new contract. he'll go to a Premiership team.

remember when you said that DM was the hardest position to play well? poyet jr has nailed it aged 18. always in the right position, splits the CBs in possession, beautiful passing range, crunching tackles that are almost never even close to being fouls, reads the game like a book

he's been MOTM almost every time he's played. seriously incredible. if we stay up it will be mostly his doing.

he makes most championship players look like the artless hacks they are

that's pretty damn impressive
he got good notices for england juniors but plenty of england under 17 captains end up in league two
england don't produce proper defensive midfielders at all, carrick is the only one they have and dm prospects tend to be athletic and/or combative but tactically inept rodwell is useless positionally and lacks awareness
although i hope he chooses uruguay, perez and arevalo will be finished after the world cup and they need young blood

http://twitter.com/diegopoyet7/status/422846524067176449

uruguay it is

kind of a shame, kind of OTM

we also have jordan cousins, who's much, much more the combative, athletic DM type & a manifestly lesser reader of the game, but he is by no means thuggish & has a fairly good passing range as well

has something of the vieira about him, in fact

ive not seen liam bridcutt but he gets described as a proper positional dmid and poyets father is introducing him into the sunderland team ahead of the more orthodox, moronic cattermole

thought bridcutt was more a playmaker, not that they're mutually exclusive. probably a mark in his favour tbh

huddersfield have a classy dm in oliver norwood who doesn't rly get in their first team much now with the far more dynamic adam clayton preferred (alongside hogg, once of watford). one for damo suzuki's parrot to unpick

oh and they also pick lumpen shinhacker keith southern ahead of norwood, which is a sin against football

Norwood to the bench at the Valley was a one off, he has been a constant starter this season, Hogg is our designated dm. I suspect Norwood will be off to Celtic in the summer, the consensus is that he + Clayton are too similar, him being the more dispensable/inconsistent one. I would keep both but we are in the selling business.

Inmates at Belmarsh are offered access to education, workshops, and 2 gyms (one focusing on Physical Education courses and one for recreational gym), with use of a sports hall and a fitness room. The gym staff also have a partnership with Charlton Athletic F.C. to deliver F.A. accredited coaching courses for prisoners.

ilx' penologist manqué lj will be delighted that even if his beloved addicks fall to the third tier, they will remain associated with a category a, premier league prison

<3

Poyet (Diego) is the name on your work-mates’ lips as you discuss transfer rumours at lunch, a player to make your Premier League-obsessed colleagues think of Charlton for a reason other than another Carl Jenkinson mishap. “Hey, what’s that Poyet kid like?”, they’ll ask, “I’ve heard he’s mustard.” He most certainly is.

After every crunching tackle, cross-field ball or composed shimmy under pressure, you have to double take and remind yourself that this kid is just 18.

He’s only just notched 11 professional games yet already he is the most important cog in the Charlton machine. He glows with class, his alice band a halo of footballing nous, holding together the shaggy hair that hides a wise head beneath.

http://www.southlondon-today.co.uk/Sport.cfm?id=10169&headline=Poy%20wonder%20could%20be%20next%20big%20Addicks%20favourite

Poyet’s 83 per cent passing accuracy is higher than any other Charlton player to have played in more than five games.

Yet it’s not just with the ball at his feet where the youngster is showing seasoned pros how it’s done. Poyet is averaging a higher number of tackles, headers and interceptions per game than any other midfielder in the Charlton squad.

it'll be sad when Diego Poyet is more famous than Charlton Athletic

but it will have a certain justice

we'll still be here, coaching remedials back to fighting fitness

shelves put in an impressive shift as trequartista in the second half against southampton

so I hear, maybe one for the jenkinson thread rly tho. glad for him, thought it was curtains after the ultimatum -> liverpool fiasco ft. emre can murder attempt debacle

cafc currently v lol tho so it can stand

fans on point of open mutiny and we sign roger johnson

What would open mutiny look like, CAFC-style?

10k gates lol

what does uncle shelves make of it all

Working alongside a Charlton fan at the moment, poor devil.

Charlton are investigating footage that appears to show a couple having sex on the club's pitch.
The video, that has been shared widely online, shows footage of a man and a woman on the centre spot of a football pitch.
The description on the video claims the incident took place at The Valley, with the pair having broken into the ground at night.
A Charlton spokesperson said the club knew nothing of the incident, adding: "There will be a club investigation."

my gf has taken to football blogging. she's also managed to troll the charlton forum far more successfully than i've ever been able to

did u see the rebirth of coquelin occuring during his time at charlton

his spell coincided almost perfectly with my yearly disaffection with attending games

by all accounts he was truly excellent in his five games, but he only played in one win - it was at the nadir of peeters' drudgery and he was mooring a side which lacked direction

perhaps playing alongside jordan cousins revitalised his passion for holding midfieldship

certainly he is looking the part now

ive probably watched six or seven games all season but i have become a devotee of arsenalfantv and the arsenal blokes and m8s are all ere coqlaahn was amaaaaaazin

flamini was like that for a season or two, i think that sort of energetic defensive midfielder is prone to spells of greatness when they can summon the effort, without having the talent to go from season to season like redondo mascherano etc

cambiasso and song today were extremely fine to watch, two of the epl's best and their sides' respective best players

cambiasso had so much composure & won leicester the game

as an example of someone who has the talent and composure to add to energy

oh for fuck's sake i was going to watch bvb/fcb for my seventh or eighth game and thought it was tomorrow not today

In a flurry of posts, Nimer accused Southall of using his money to fund his lifestyle

I'd do the same tbf!

just in case you were wondering where we were with this

Understand senior #cafc employee received an instruction to remove Matt Southall. The latter responded by calling the police. Southall has since left The Valley.
