Joe's Penalty Woe Mon 26th Dec 2005 19:45 Boss Joe Royle felt the Blues should have been awarded a penalty shortly before Michael Hughes scored Crystal Palace's second goal in their 2-0 defeat of the Blues.

Town 0-2 Palace Mon 26th Dec 2005 19:23 Town's dismal season continued as Crystal Palace left Portman Road with a 2-0 victory.

Town 2-1 Crewe Sat 01st Oct 2005 19:05 Darren Currie and the returning Nicky Forster scored as Town came from behind to beat Crewe 2-1 at Portman Road.

Town Target an Addick? Fri 23rd Sep 2005 11:50 Boss Joe Royle has revealed that he was watching Charlton play Hartlepool in the Carling Cup on Tuesday night, suggesting his experienced loan striker target could be an Addick.

Bent Windfall for Town? Sun 28th Aug 2005 20:10 Former Blue Darren Bent has been included in the England squad for their World Cup qualifiers against Wales and Northern Ireland next week.
