Rich Cawley — Sat, 24 Oct 2026 15:30:02 GMT

What, you thought because there was an international break that South London Sport: Charlton Athletic Edition would not record a podcast?

Well, you were wrong. We might now be in a club football dead zone, but I felt there was still plenty for us to chat about. Luckily pod host Louis ‘Meatballs’ Mendez agreed.

So here we are again.
