Roberto Di Matteo

Leaves on Saturday? What if we'd got to the play off final?

Dont people book on late booking holidays a couple of days before they are due to fly out.

Let's hope the bookies have got this one right.

but the bookies dont get it right, they respond to bets being laid. if a dozen Brighton fans put £20 they'd slash the odds in case, then another few punters follow the money, so they cut further... odds reflect the punters (mis)judgements. they had Redknapp odds on to go for England didnt they, and countless other wrong calls.

I imagine what happened is that after we lost Monday he booked a holiday.

Obviously not knowing (who did) that all hell was about to break loose.

I once met Di Matteo when I was working on Cafe Montpeliano on the Brompton Road in London. This was about 18 years ago when he used to have dinner there with Zola. I was working as a waiter. On seeing him arrive I put my hand out to shake his hand. He put his coat over my arm to hang up. I still chuckle about it.

waiter holds out hand to patron... what you think the normal expectation is here? or do regualrly shake hands with the waiter and waitress when you go out to dinner?

RDM would be a big risk. He got VERY lucky with the whole Chelsea thing.

Agree, I'd be very disappointed if we ended up with him, can't stand him - no charisma or personality whatsoever.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

If Palace win.....would like Zola to become our next manager....but that is not going to happen is it....?

The history books show RDM won the champions league. But we all know it was the Chelsea clan that clubbed together to play for Robbie as they called him. John Terry standing on the sidelines in his shorts screaming out instructions as I remember it. What other manager would have let him do that....After the events of the last few days I would think we want a clean break from any connection with Poyet, let alone appoint one of his best mates.

I would not give a shit if he does what he did for WBA for us.

I just can't see RDM getting the job. Any connection with Poyet after all this is last on Blooms mind.

I always thought, after AVB trying to change the team/squad (with the owners initial blessing), the senior players ran the show and they had a good enough team to win through, albeit with some good fortune. I didn't think RDM had much to do with it, other than let them get on with it.

He can become bookies favourite when people start putting bets down for him...
