| CHARLTON ATHLETIC |
| Charlton Athletic were the runaway leaders of the first division last season, and will be looking for success in this year's premier league. "We have a good squad of players who want to win things, and that is important for the football club" said manager Alan Curbishley "It will be a long hard season, but if we win every single game like we did last year in division one, we might win it." Wise words indeed, and Charlton have every right to be confident, they have many good players, its just their strength in depth which could be questioned. "To be totally honest" continues Curbishley "apart from our starting eleven all our players are crap, especially the youth players". So, if Charlton can keep injury free they could be in for a great season, but if they get a few injuries, they will be in for a relegation dogfight. The official PREMIER LEAGUE PREDICTION for Charlton Athletic this year is a respectable 9th. |

| JONATAN JOHANSSON Having left boyband N-Sync in the summer of 2000, Johansson hopes to make a name for himself as a pro soccer player. "Its been hard making the transition" said Jonatan "I mean I had to tell the manager of the band that I wanted to play football and then organise the boat to Charlton all by myself". Jonatan has many reminders of his boy band days but hopes to let his football do the talking "I want to be remembered as a great Charlton Soccer Player, not a Boy Band member" continued Jonatan "I know the boys in the locker room are going to laugh at my Pokemon tattos, but it is something I am going to have to live with for the rest of my life". Johansson has been impressive in pre season and we think he could be a star of the future. |

| RICHARD RUFUS 'Richard Rufus is fucking wicked' was the chant heard at The Valley last year as the brilliant Richard Rufus tackled people and broke their legs, while Charlton won every game of the season. "Division One is so easy, its probably easier than that Mario game on the Super Nintendo, and THATS easy". Said Rufus "I can't wait to snap some stupid Premir League players, there all fucking shite and deserve it." Rufus has everything you could ask from a defender, pace, prescence and aggression and tons of it. He is very excited about putting people in hospital, he has even set out some of his targets for the coming season. "I have always wanted to snap Alan Shearer, he is such a boring twat!" said Rufus "and David Seaman with his Lion's mane, and that Craig David poofy singer off the television, if I see him out, he's gonna get well cropped". Richard will be in for an excellent season this season, and he may part company with Charlton if they fail to stay in the division. |

| MARK KINSELLA Mark is a Republic of Ireland International and posesses a really great shot. "I have the best shot in the world for my age" he boasted "When I was only 6 I played for Brazil Under-21s and and scored a hattrick, one straight from a corner, one straight from the kick off and the other one I ran round Maradonna, Pele, Lineker and Hulk Hogan and then headered it in the top corner off my own goal line". Mark Kinsella hopes to score 100 goals this year and get in to the Brazil first team. |
