Hope I’m wrong but I fear Leicester will have a few moments of quality just enough to burst our bubble.1

Letting in WAY too many people onto the south bank terrace could have been a disaster if the cages still existed.letthegoodtimesroll said:
Not sure you can call it a shambles. 3 years on from Hillsborough and you have to give everyone credit for how it was handled. A good following from Leicester that day was to be expected but I doubt anyone foresaw how many did turn up and how many would be late getting to the ground.killerandflash said:That 92 game was a crowd control shambles, showing how far we've come. Imagine if that had been against Birmingham or Leeds.
I loved the time at Upton Park, but it was pretty shambolic at times, perhaps not surprisingly, as it wasn't our home and we had a tiny level of staffing back then. For our final game there, I remember the West Stand being packed with Newcastle fans, with no segregation at all.0 -
if that is even 80% right, I’ll buy you a pintExiled_Addick said:Potential we are coming down to earth with a bump on Saturday coming up against a recent Premier League team. However, all the signs are they haven't started well and often catching these teams at this time of the season can be advantageous. We're full of confidence and riding our momentum from last year whereas they are desperately trying to refind some confidence and build momentum. If they underestimate us I think we could send them away with a bloody nose. If their first two games have given them a kick up the arse and they come into this motivated to and determined to fix that, then maybe we will get a lesson in how tough this division can be. It's a fascinating game but represents a decent opportunity for us.
2-1 Addicks. Fast start from us and Kelman scores first half, then they pen us in a bit. We bring on our finishers and Leaburn or Knibbs bags one on the break assisted by Tanto. Then they score and its backs against the wall until the final whistle. Kaminski to make at least one worldy save to earn us the three points.1 -
Whilst we worry about selling our star player, Ramsay, for maybe 7/8 million, Leicester are flogging their squad players for 10 million plus. It's a bonkers world out there! Meanwhile, Leicester have more or less forgotten how to win, so our determined heroes have a decent chance of grabbing the three points, although a draw is probably more realistic.0

If we sold Kayne for a proper fee AND replaced him with similar quality at a much lower price, I’d be perfectly happy with that bit of business. The issue with what we’ve done before is we have sold people at a knock down price just to get some money in and they haven’t been adequately replaced.thewolfboy said:Whilst we worry about selling our star player, Ramsay, for maybe 7/8 million, Leicester are flogging their squad players for 10 million plus.

Dave2l said:The leicster memories:
1.Steve brown getting injured and getting sent off while being stretchered off
2. Bartletts screamer - goal of the season
3. Robbie savage being a twat
4. Di canio got a late winner against them at the walkers (I think)
Its a club with an interesting recent history and we've had some good games with them.
I'm excited for it.
A game plan: frustrate and wind them up. Hit them on the break when we get a chance to do so.
Prediction: I ain't got a clue.
To be fair, Robbie Savage was always a twat; seems to be like Nathan Jones, love him when he's on your team, hate him as the opposition.1 -
Maybe they will, but so did Bristol and to fair Watford had plenty of quality that we stood up well to. We need to be asking them questions on our turf and our vocal support will hopefully see us over the line today.Dippenhall said:Hope I’m wrong but I fear Leicester will have a few moments of quality just enough to burst our bubble.2 -
Always loved the Simon Royce reaction when fans chanted: "You should have stayed at the Valley"Dave2l said:The leicster memories:

Was that the same match as the Bartlett goal?3 -
Their winger Jeremy Monga was 4 years old when this match happened 🤯Callumcafc said:https://x.com/cafcofficial/status/1958446475777613868?s=46&t=ynww82GMl7VKBjthBflU0gThrowing it back to 2013 when we last hosted Leicester City ⏪#cafc2 -
Flying back from Chicago yesterday, managed to convince a group of 6 American lads at the airport going to the Arsenal game at 5.30pm to also get tickets for our game at 12.30pm - every little helps!

3-1 Charlton with us to score first and a late consolidation for them. Lloydy yellow card in the first ten minutes as a statement of intent 😆2

Just seen Besiktas are in for Wout Faes which is a shame as he has 2/3 howlers a match in him3

And that’s going to happen few times this season what we don’t want is the over reaction of the doom and gloom mob when it does ….Dippenhall said:Hope I’m wrong but I fear Leicester will have a few moments of quality just enough to burst our bubble.0 -
Because we should do better and will have to do better in those moments. It shows the whole club is behind the curve and I'm not sure why I bother spending money watching us if/ when these moments repeatedly occur.RonnieMoore said:

Think Leicester may have a bit too much quality for us as good as our defence is. But then again I thought the same against Bristol City. Would personally like to see Knibbs get more minutes as he’s looked really dangerous both times he’s come o0

2-1 to Leicester.0

Really ????? So you’re saying we should be on the same level as a team that has 90 mill parachute money in their back pocket ….swords_alive said:

68/69, the biggest ‘official’ capacity league ground in the Football League, the team flying, crowds pushing 30k and a jam packed terraced Covered End with numbers in it that probably wasn’t far off what the two tiers have these days belting out
‘Oh Charlie, Charlie
Charlie, Charlie, Charlie
Charlie Wright’
seemed to work quite well.
’Kelman’ could be made to fit for ‘Wright’

Whatever the score, it feels so good to be back in the Championship this morning. On Sky, packed Valley, quality players who give their all, momentum, a manager who gets Charlton and knows exactly what he’s doing, a bit of underdog spirit.It’s a good time to be a Charlton fan. Maybe the best in a couple of decades.COYRs3

If I had to guess I’d say PL clubs that have been in the top tier for more than a season get that money because without it they’d probably have to go into administration or declare bankruptcy. I doubt they have a single penny of that money to actually spend. Having just been promoted from L1 I suspect we are in a far better financial position than they are.RonnieMoore said:

I expect you to start this chant today then
