    I heard he put them in front of a firing squad.

    Problem was it was made up of all our ex strikers so no-one got hit

    Don't think you needed "ex" in there

    *Edit*...sorry Sam I reread and misunderstood you..ignore me !

  • I believe they went for a few beers on Tuesday evening in a Canary Wharf - I’m led to believe there was an army-related involvement in that so it’s possible this was this earlier this week.  
  • Not the first manager of Charlton to have done this.
    Remember Eddie Firmani taking the whole squad along to Woolwich Barracks in 1969.

    Lennie took the boys down to Devon back in 1986 with the Royal Marines as part of the pre season trip 
  • Love this 🤩
  • I suppose it makes a change for the supporters doing the barracking
  • So instead of the usual group huddle can we expect a quick set of press ups?

  • Good stuff this - that room they are sat in listening to the Commander - what a fantastic room

    One intriguing comment during Holden’s interview - “we are definitely planning to come back pre-season for a couple of days.  Already spoken to the guys here about it”. 

    He certainly plans to still be with us! 
    It's not up to him though. Sandgaard might not give him another contract or if there are new owners they might not either.

    So 33% chance he'll be here come July. 
  • Maybe they'll get to have a go on the horses next time.  :)

    I was on the top deck, front seat of a bus on Shooters Hill once when about a hundred horses of the King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery came from the opposite direction.  There were gun carriages, solo riders, horses with no riders (like photo).  They weren't hanging about either.  What a sight! I was so mesmerised I didn't think to photograph it.  Mind you it was over in a moment. 




  • I hope the Army also taught our players how to score a goal.
  • That’s one of the big things I miss about London.
    Loved witnessing the troops doing their thing.

    I wonder what the Irish lads thought about it though, in all seriousness 🤔

    I wonder how long Chuks would have lasted on one of the drills? 😀
    I understand he was carrying out the Private Godfrey role and acting as the First Aid man.
  • We're dooooomed

    You’ll never hit the goal if you’re aiming up there Private Bonne!!!
