English football


Recommended Posts

I need to stop watching it. It's not good for my soul, my mental wellbeing, or my pocket. Why the f**k have I just forked out a fortune for tickets to see us get gubbed at Leicester, then gubbed at Burnley? It's a good job we've got Spurs at home in between otherwise I don't know where we'd find a point from.

What was the atmosphere/police presence like at that?

:shocked:

Couldn’t believe the police presence at the train station for the game we went to at the den. Would expect Leeds would take that up a level.

Millwall are generally a bit of a parody of what they used to be these days, although their 'boys' will show up for certain games, Leeds no doubt being one of them. I've seen us win league games down there & get away trouble free. The old place was a totally different story - really horrible, nasty place to go (1980, 2-1 defeat, is currently I think about number 3 in my list of near-death experiences)

I went down there for a play-off semi 2nd leg in 2010 & (not just because we lost) it was bloody awful. We spent about an hour on the coach having the windows banged, cockernee boys coming up giving it large, all the fun of the fair. It was genuinely a scary experience as you never knew if one of them might just go that bit too far. There'd been a load of trouble a few weeks before at the league match at our place as well:

I'm not sure if this belongs here or on the 'Get it off your chest" thread, but yesterdays game p1ssed me off beyond belief. None of this crops up on the TV highlights (of course) but the referee (Craig Pawson) showed such stunning big club bias it was beyond belief - laughing & joking with their players, even allowing coaching staff from Spurs to walk halfway around the pitch to talk to their players.

Their first goal came from a break after the sort of challenge on us that they were being given all afternoon, then he ignores a clear foul right on the line of the penalty area on our lad to go unpunished, Spurs break, Danny Rose (at best) gets farted on in the box, at worst dives...penalty.

We only started getting any sort of decision when it was obviously game over. I'd never actively want my team to get relegated, but there's a big part of me thinks that at least back down in League 1 you got crap decisions because the referees were crap, not that they were actively behaving in favour of a particular set of teams.

I’ve just watched the highlights and don’t see any of what you refer to and it’s a stick on penalty. Maybe I’ve not got Town tinted specs though?

If it was a penalty then we should have had at least 3 (oddly none of which appear in any highlights in case they upset ex-Spurs tw@t Lineker) & your average football match would have about half a dozen.

Never saw a Leeds fan the full day, except inside the ground. We were drinking in Bermondsey from about 11.30am as we knew a couple of Millwall fans. A lot of likely lads kicking about and if you were a Leeds fans heading down there it would be a suicide mission but all the lLeeds fans drank in London Bridge/Borough Market before the game and got the train to the stadium where they are escorted in.

We were stood in the lower tier right next to the away end. Some of the chants were beyond close to the bone. Full stadium was singing "Always look out for Turks carrying knives" and "Where were you in Istanbul" etc. Leeds scored last minute equaliser and their end went mental.

As for trouble, the police have a it sewn up.

Steve Bruce gone at Villa - not too surprising even though he did steady the ship. Been watching them for years but will be interesting to see who they take on next. They are a bit of a sleeping giant but there has not really been anyone that could take them on since MON. Henry, Allardyce, Moyes, Dean Smith and even John Terry are named as possibles but not sure if any of them would cut it. Wonder if they will look north of the border....
