Charlton Athletic F.C. ... Charlton, South East London. The club was founded in 1905 and currently plays at The Valley in Charlton. On June 9, 1905, a number of youth clubs in the south-east London area, including both East Street Mission and Blundell Mission, combined to form Charlton Athletic Football Club. Making rapid progress through the local leagues, Charlton joined the Kent League shortly after the First World War, turned professional when the club joined the Southern League in 1920, and was elected to Division Three (South) of the Football League-proper in 1921. Historically, the club's most successful period was the 1930s, when the club's highest league finishes were recorded, and the 1940s, when the club reached the FA Cup final twice, winning in 1947.

Quite a few Charlton fans are very quick to get on the team, managers and clubs back. What they seem to forget is that we came a very long way from a club that didn't even have a ground at one point. For a start Alan Curbishley is Mr Charlton, he has proved that by what has happened in his time away. Alan Curbishley is a brilliant manager who can operate very very well on a tight budget, during his time at Charlton he was not appreciated enough and the fans even started saying that our seasons were boring and even a relegation fight would be better.

Now the new season may only be 3 games old (I write this before the clubs home game against Walsall) but I must admit to being slightly impressed by what I have seen so far. Unlike previous seasons the team has starting playing together quite well and, dare I say it, creating chances in front of goal. The players, at the moment, look genuinely motivated and up for the challenges of League 1. A pleasant change from last season when they could not string together two passes let alone win a game. The new signings are fitting in well at the back and with just a couple more additions to the squad the team look like they could actually challenge for ... Read the complete review

As I write this Charlton have just won their second away game of the season, but are staring relegation in the face to league one which will be their second relegation in three seasons. Charlton have, over the last three years, in my eyes, made some of the worst managerial decisions ever namely that of Les Reed and Ian Dowie and we are now under the managerial services of Phil Parkinson and a Charlton legend in Mark Kinsella, who after every loss say the same old things - we are trying, it is getting better, etc, etc. Just be a little bit honest these are men who are earning thousands of pounds a week and they are not playing good enough and not doing their job in the ...

Yesterday's home defeat (2-5) to Sheffield United saw the end of Alan Pardews reign as Charlton manager. They languish in 22nd position in the championship and can only dream of their time in the premier league under the management of Alan Curbishley; maybe he'll return, you never know these days, just look at Keegan! In my opinion Charlton have been on a downward spiral ever since Curbishley's departure in May 2006. Since then they've had three managers and none have achieved any real success, Iain Dowie, Les Reed and Alan Pardew. I do feel that this next appointment is really important, they cannot afford to get it wrong, if they're relegated to league one that would .. Read the complete review

Charlton Athletic were promoted from Division 1 2 season ago when they won the Division 1 title by getting more than 100 points. They had an amazing season then and then last season, they finished mid table and so they were not relegated like quite a few people thought. This season, I think they will not do as well, but that is my opinion. I think that Charlton have got quite a good manager in Alan Curbishley, but I do not rate him as a manager who can make his side win things. Charlton had a very good season last season, although they didn’t win anything and Curbishley managed the team very well. But he doesn't appear to be a manager who can help ...
