, it was such a low point for them after coming so close to promotion last season. Charlton's having a rubbish season and its not surprising they're getting smashed 3-1. But that brawl at the end though 
is just unacceptable, gotta be a harsh lesson in sportsmanship. Anyways, Millwall's rise to third place is defo making my Championship prediction season more exciting 
Charlton Athletic is having the worst time ever, I feel bad for them. 
And poor Portsmouth, just got relegated already? 
Like Millwall, Preston North End, and even Norwich City - they're showing that with hard work and determination, you can turn it around! 
and their fans are loving it 
stats show that coventry has scored an average of 2.5 goals per game this season, which is more than any other team in the championship 
️ that's like giving away a free goal every time u lose 
stats say that coventry has a possession percentage of 55.5% and a shooting accuracy of 25.9%, which is higher than most teams in the championship 
... and ugh the brawl at hull city's game is no joke 
... but on the flip side, it's awesome to see millwall pulling off that dramatic win against southampton 
... i'm glad Norwich city finally got a win after such a long drought 
... and west bromwich albion's comeback vs swansea was insane 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this season... it feels like just yesterday we were watching football matches on our parents' old TVs 
! Now, we've got these crazy fights breaking out between teams and players are getting red cards left and right 
. What's going on with the Hull City situation? Can't a team win without having to resort to violence? 
And I'm loving the drama at Millwall, they're really making it exciting this season 
It's like, can't we all just get along and enjoy the game without resorting to violence? And what's up with Hull City's management team anyway? It looks like they're more interested in stirring up drama than focusing on winning games 
. What's going on with Charlton Athletic though? Four consecutive defeats and 11 goals conceded... that's just brutal 
. And what's with all these brawls breakin' out? Hull City vs. their management team? That don't sound right to me 
And poor Charlton, they're really struggling this season. 4 losses in a row is not good news.
! Millwall's win over Southampton was insane, and Preston North End coming back from behind twice against Sheffield Wednesday? That's some top-notch stuff right there! 
. It's so close at the top, with Coventry still leading by 10 points but Middlesbrough closing in fast. This is what makes the Championship so thrilling to watch! 
It's crazy how much technology has advanced. Anyway, back to the Championship - it's been an exciting few weeks!
