The Millwall Promotion Thread

[Leonard Hatred]

Currently one point off an automatic promotion spot.

It'd be good having them in the PL innit?

Provided we stay up, obvs. 

Would liven the place up a bit.


MMMMMMMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL...........

Millwall aren't our biggest rivals. You can only have a meaningful rivalry with a club you play against and Millwall are never good enough to do this except for the odd cup match or in one of our rare relegation years.

They are though our most hated club, which is not quite the same thing.

Well, for one, it would introduce to the world a rivalry that was born and developed outside of the white-hot media-driven PL furnace of  bitter enemy declaration.

I suspect that, like several posters on here,  should this become a distinct possibility, the media will make constant references to football hooliganism/ tasty run-ins of the late 70s/early 80s and the authorities will base their decisions on preventing that situation rearing it's ugly head again.

In short, if it looks like happening, the word will go out to all involved to make sure that it doesn't actually happen.

I'd like to think that would not be the case, but a big part of the sanitation of the game is the stamping out of local tribal activities.

I foed this oddball, repetitive, conspiracy theorist bore as I could no longer stomach reading his mundane crap. Is there any way, the system can be tweaked where one doesn't see posts of foed posters when another poster quotes posts?

I happened to do a job at The Den last year. 
In their hospitality suite, in the corridor to the loo, they have a photo montage on the wall that includes a picture of them celebrating “The Mother’s Day Massacre Of West Ham”, March 2004 when they won 4-1. Listing the goal scorers. They can’t even spell Christian Dailly’s name correctly. 
Wankers.

PB has ecohed my feelings perfectly. I see Millwall as our real rivals and whilst despising them I have a grudging respect for their club and fans. 

As for Tottenham, i just don't like them,never have.
Got no real feelings either way for Arsenal or Chelsea, whatever sucsess/lack of means nothing to me.

[Pub Bigot]

What does this say about us? We hate Tottenham and want them relegated. We hate Millwall but want them promoted. 

It says that we want to play our biggest rivals.

And we don't want our biggest rivals, Millwall, to get relegated when they come up like we do Tottenham?

I don’t like Spurs and would laugh my bollocks off if they went down, but Arsenal are arrogant cunts, Chelsea too, and Spurs are deluded divs who need a run in the second division to temper their self image as a giant of the English game. 

Wall are our rivals, unquestionably. Fucking despise them, but unlike the others have respect for their club and supporters. Very much like us.

We would sort of want them to establish themselves so we get to play them regularly. That’s not to say that we wouldn’t celebrate them going down.

Completely different to the Sp*rs scenario who we play every season.

I train a couple of Millwall lads

Are you teaching them to read?

[El Scorchio]

It says that it'll be fucking comedy (for the whole of the country and not just for us) if spurs go down. Wall possibly coming up is a different matter.

It says that we'd enjoy a lively rivalry encounter because it can be difficult to get excited playing BEIGE clubs such as Burnley and Bournemouth etc.

There will be six months of this is going to happen that’s going to happen loads of threats on TikTok and you tube then on the day of the home game they’ll all get on a train to Stratford followed by old bill with old bill waiting for them, loads of people “hanging around “ waiting for them few bottles thrown etc etc 
followed by more videos of them telling the world West Ham are nothing these days and how they took the piss etc etc 
nothing to see here move along 
obviously all based on us staying up you understand 

[Pub Bigot]

Hopefully we stay up and they come up. They’ve done very well of late and actually deserve a season in the prem. in my experience, some of our more recent encounters have been underwhelming. 

I’ve been to the last three games between us, and the two in the league were drab. At The Den, boring 0-0 and kept outside the South Bermondsey until Police cleared the platform of vermin, then held at London Bridge for two hours before being sent to Canning Town. I lived in Bromley at the time, so the detour wasn’t ideal. 


Upton Park, 2-1 to us, first time we’d beaten them in the league in nearly two decades (maybe it was two decades). Their lot in the Trev Upper, Nolan sent off after 16 minutes, Winston Reid becomes a cult figure, though credit to Julian Faubert and his rugby tackle on David Forde, and the ref going blind for the assists. 

Never been ‘involved’, so no idea how the chaps got on.

Wonder how the PL will feel about the potential West Ham vs Millwall. Good marketing opportunity or quietly swept under the carpet as much as possible?

I reckon both games will be on the box absolutely no question. Sky/TNT will be pissing their pants with glee over it. It wouldn't be a surprise if the 'random' fixture computer happens to throw us together on the first day of the season at the shithole den.

They would be on TV and they both would be 12.30pm kick offs for obvious reasons.

[Council Scum]

I train a couple of Millwall lads, one of them is getting married, it's his stag do in June, he bet me (before Christmas) if they get promoted I'd have to wear a Millwall top on his stag do, likewise, if they don't, he has to wear a West Ham one. Was never bothered until the past week, now he's asking me my shirt size.

Nailed on away fans bussed into either game, ie, meet at the London Stadium, produce ID, get bussed in a bussed out again after an hour stuck in the stands. 

Away allocation to the Den approximately 8 people. 

[Far Cough UKunt]

One of their old school managers Benny Fenton was the brother of our old manager, Ted Fenton.

[Manuel]

You've gotta hand it to them - without having a pot to piss in they have been flirting with the play-offs more often than not in the last decade. 

Yep, always seem to be up there to be fair. Their US owner was killed in a car crash about 5 years ago, was meant to be a really good bloke, I think his son took over.

Would be shocking if we go down and they come up.

Millwall v West Ham

11am Sunday KO.
