Champo, L1 & L2, 2018/19

[tikay]

In the last 15 minutes, Thomas Frank has gone from 6/1 to 1/4 to be the next @BrentfordFC head coach

Roberto di Matteo is attracting a bit of money now, 7/2 from 12/1, with Frank eased to 1/2.

Peterborough are away to Sunderland tonight.

I reckon Posh will go 4-5-1, with;

Chapman, Naismith, Daniel, Taff, Bennett, Woodyard, Ward, Maddison, O'Hara, Walker, Toney.


What you reckon, Chomps?

The Fat Jock went with exactly that team v Barnsley yesterday and we got torn four new ones. I knew!

Kieffer went off injured after about 20 but it didn't look anything too bad. That guy is some unit.

EDIT: Impact injury and expected to be out for two weeks.

I didn’t go but plenty of chat on the fan forums about Evans swearing at our coaching staff, refusing to shake hands, etc.

Quite odd, as the game didn’t appear to have any flashpoints to trigger this.  You got an early penalty, missed it, and it sounds like we dominated things after that.

Worrying to see Keiffer get injured, which means our two main strikers are both out of action short-term, but good to see that we still had goals in the team without him.

A huge win for us today after failing to beat Plymouth on Tuesday, who were much better than their league position suggests.

We made Plymouth look good this weekend... Writing must be on the wall for Ardley after losing to two of the very few teams below us in the past week. Sad times

It took longer than it should but the third longest-serving manager in the league has left Wimbledon today. Needed doing but it still makes me sad

[Sheriff Fatman]

Shrewsbury have also parted with their manager today.

Paving the way for a swift Paul Hurst return perhaps, or is that just too convenient all round?

[Chompy]

Think Paul Hurst ran particularly good last season, and it was more down to personnel than him.

He'd probably reintroduce the old style if he goes back but he'd do well to get this lot much higher than 20th.

Villa 5, Forest 5

Pretty rare score, that.

Wimbledon legends Wally Downes and Glyn Hodges appointed manager and assistant manager at Wimbledon: https://www.afcwimbledon.co.uk/news/2018/december/club-statement2/

Not much managerial experience but a massive amount of coaching experience between them. Fingers crossed they don't tarnish their legendary status!

[Chompy]

Barry Fry the latest to be charged by the FA for betting on football.

Wonder if he tried for £5,000 on Sturridge to West Brom at 66-1 like Daniel's mate?

[Chompy]

Fatty Tomlin is back! All is right with the world.

Amazed he has took the job Tikay.

We appear to have a £15-20m FFP hole to fill by the end of the season.

Rather curiously, he does not start until February 1st.

Presumably, he can't start sooner without jeopardising part of his severance payment from Villa? Generally, new Managers start immediately.

All aboard the last train......

He had already planned a family holiday for a month and didn't want to let them down so would only come in if he started in Feb,

with such a good record Wednesday said fine Steve, amazing really. Villa would probably be delighted if he started two weeks ago he could have still sent them down! Bullen down a lovely job so far

Thought you were going to crack my gag about his multi year topless picture contract on the beach in Barbados with the Daily Mail showing off his wonderful physique in his speedos before he could take the SW job!
