    I hate this thread. Everyday there are 100's of new posts, with 95% being either a load of crap, tossers 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.

    The rest I can't stand.
  • 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

    What’s the sticking point then? Price?
    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 season

    Which (sorry to say), is why I have opted for a July completion date.

    JC is just the front man, Judas has the money.

    I knew Murrey would be lurking somewhere.

    Sorry, perhaps that was a tad strong, but you get the gist.
    That's ok then. Lucky I'm still alive
  • A very good source has told me that Mark Aizlewood was spotted in South London this morning.

    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.

    No, I just won the debate by turning your arguments back on you in order to show how ridiculous they are.

    It's not childish, it's the art of debate but you wont understand that either.
    'Won' - is this a competition?
    You are aware that you used the word 'win' first, in the very post that Henry quoted?

    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.
    Glad someone else noticed. Went straight over president's head.

    Meanwhile back to the takeover. Here is your cryptic clue on yesterday's gossip.

    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.

    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.
    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.
    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)

  • Can I be the first to use the word defenestration on this thread?
  • Don't tell me. Somebody has already used it.
  • I bloody knew it!

    Someone threatened the Defenestration of Prague when he made a contentious point about 150 pages ago.
    Were they going to strip him of his gilet? :smile:
  • ^^^ why can I not 'like' and 'lol' this?
