London Wall

Great debate Just in from work and shopping, I’ll sign off with this and bring it back to the original post with a bit of a back story, this is not justification just how things unfolded for us.. Rumblings started about taking the knee soon after the new season got under way, by that I mean debate amongst the support. Come the game closest to 11th November Millwall do their standard remembrance day, this would generally involve some military and the last post before the game. Between the club and the ref they managed to get it wrong, the support had asked for the knee to be not taken

The assertion that taking a knee is in no way an endorsement of BLM’s political objectives, but simply a gesture in support of racial equality doesn’t wash, the two are intertwined and cannot be separated. I don’t believe you can pick and choose. Interesting that Boro have said no to it, QPR had taken the same stance at the beginning of the season, Les Ferdinand their director football had led that. After agreeing to maintain this, they of course on Tuesday night with Sky and the worlds media watching, to a man took the knee, gamesmanship that is fair enough, the Millwall support appl

Well, it was obvious that it was going to happen given what was happening in the background within the club and supporter base. I personally wouldn't have booed, I can however see why this was done, basically you have two schools of thought, kneeling is in support of anti racism and equality. Or, it is in support of a political group BLM that have a whole range of agenda's that are against what our democracy stands for, dismantle capitalism, defund the police and so on. The latter of these two is what the booing was about.

Thought I would ask seeing as we have got you on Saturday. Obviously you are in tier 3, so an empty stadium meaning you don't have to even consider. Having supported Millwall for more than 50 years I'm used to the supporters being at loggerheads with the board or owners or managers, we have always had a very uneasy relationship with any or all of those. I cannot think of a time when there was such gulf between the support and the players, worrying.

Sorry to poke in. Do us a favour and take all the points, you know you want them. We could be 6th by Saturday afternoon, not that is of interest to you. Neil Harris still respected in our neck is tactically limited, certain Warnock can have one over them as he/you did to us. BTW we survived on 44 points last season, what's known as a**ehole lucky.

Well done, apart from a few spells from us you deserved that. I didn't think it was a pen in the first half, I didn't think it was much of a foul for your first, it looked like Cooper slipped. That puts Charlton under a bit of pressure so a sort of silver lining. We aren't quite there yet, a mid table side that can punch above our weight. That's the thing about the championship, anybody can beat anybody, a small run of results and your in the hunt. F**k it's always a long journey up to your place, that's if we are ever allowed to watch football again.

If you lot don't score in this half then it might come back our way in the second half. We need to change things up.

We (Millwall) haven't taken to the no crowd games very well, our home support is important, maybe more so than some other clubs. I'm sure everyone thinks their own home crowd are the best. We lost our first game at home to Derby 2-3 after taking the lead, just stood off and watched Rooney play tippy tap, that wouldn't have happened with a full Den. We were poor in the next two draws at Barnsley and home to Swansea. Friday night game at Charlton we played well and should've run out two or three up instead of the 0-1 win. We have everything to play for this afternoon, however we are

I couldn't get to the game yesterday due to work commitments. Watched the Quest highlights last night and spoke to mates that went. General consensus from those that were there is; happy with a point, disappointed not to have all three, based on the first half and the change of tactics after going behind. This was a huge game for us coming off the back of an absolute drubbing at Fulham, where we really made them look Man City-esque. We set a record of giving the opposition 84% possession. I get your frustration on the refereeing decisions, we have the same feeling from time to time

That's us out then, we never pay 'the right price', everything on the cheap, which can actually work in the championship.

Been reading stuff that Georgie Porgie isn't happy, even that his old man was kicking off with the directors at yesterdays game. I figure his move hasn't worked out yet, was wondering how the new management saw him? Or how you lot saw him for that matter. Fishing, as I would have him back with us.

I think we will have a better view of Savile after the coming season to be honest given how Pulis managed the team. Interested to know how you reckon Savile would play as a left wingback? I ask as that's where Pulic played him a fair bit, he also played him as a holding midfielder earlier in the season. Never would have had Savile as a wing back, I see wing backs as progressive or athletic full backs with an attacking intent, bit like Kyle Walker. Or a converted wide midfielder that understands defense when required. I posted last season when the transfer went through that I saw hi

than ours…. Excuse the intrusion it is close season. You surely couldn’t have had a worse season than us from an expectation perspective? I get that Pulis wasn't it, however we went from 8th with 72pts (17/18), to 21st 44pts. It was dire with flashes of proper football, legend Harris as manager had us playing the most negative hoof ball imaginable. I had a mild interest in you lot because of Savile-was he worth the dough- and Pulis I suppose as he has been around a bit. As a matter of interest who were the best team you played at home, and the best away? Regards LW

You got your man then, along with how many others? That shows intent, ambition. We were pretty much resigned to losing Saville so the 8 million (as reported) is a huge sum for us, most are accepting of this. We replaced him with Ryan Leonard 1.2M from Sheffield Utd, a player we were after last season who they bought for 700k from Southend, and the money goes round. Good point for you at Leeds last night, they need reigning back in. I will watch with interest your results this season and see how much impact Saville has.

Now talk of part-ex, do these make your first team Grant Leadbitter, Ashley Fletcher and Marvin Johnson? Are they surplus to requirements and would they be earning more than our top players, 12.5-15k per week? Quoting from here, could be the usual internet waffle. https://www.teamtalk.com/news/exclusive-millwall-may-take-boro-stars-as-part-of-bid-for-lions-star

Well, he started at Chelsea academy, found his way to Wolves where he didn't make it prior to coming to us. He is a combative box to box type who knows where the net is, a very effective championship player that would probably improve with better players around him, that could said for lots of players. He is not a string puller like say Bradley Dack at Blackburn or what Grealish would like to think he is at Villa. So not easy on the eye as such but drives on. If Millwall got promoted we would defo want him as part of our set up, If Boro went up he probably wouldn't feature too much, th

Yeah, saw that this morning. Saville didn't play in our appalling 1-0 defeat at Rotherham on Sunday (12:30 KO due to SYP, complete and utter c**ts). He was subbed at half time in our mid-week defeat to Sheffield Wednesday with concussion, the rules state you are not allowed to play for 6 days after concussion. That article says season long loan, with an option at the end, can't see that, if you go up which appears likely you would need a better midfielder for the Premiership.

Excellent, sort of what I thought. He is a really good player for us, wouldn’t want to lose him, on the other hand we never get top money for our players. Like most supporters I want to keep our best and add. However the food chain dictates there is always someone bigger eyeing up your best assets. The trick is to nick the next player off whoever as your one leaves. And no Jed ain’t going anywhere.

There is debate going on on the Millwall forums for the last couple of days, both on MO (public) just a few posts, with the more the vociferous exchanges happening on the closed HoF forum, several hundred posts at the moment. Rumour is, yeah I know we got nothing better to do, that someone has come in for George Saville with a 7.5 Million bid, loan with payment in January. The perceived bid has apparently come from Boro? Is this just paper/internet talk or do you have a real interest, do you actually need a player like that? 11 goals he got from midfield last season. By the way

Chat with him and his missus and other family most weeks, all well grounded people along with Marlon.

It's been yonks since we've had players that others are interested in, we're not used to it, apart from them two Rangers were after Copper our CB, and Romeo (son of Jazzy B) our RB has attracted a few rumours. Another full season of relative success mean knocking on the door of top six we will then be tested.

I get the Bolasie interest, rate him, where does Freeman become worth 4 million though? Blackburn were supposedly in for him, not sure he would get in our team/squad unless I've missed something.

Yeah, of course, its just that when our clubs cross, play or transfer talk I thought it appropriate in a lighthearted way. Don't worry we are busy enough squabbling a***st ourselves so plenty for me to add in our world.

I can't put this on your 900 and something page transfer thread, it will get lost. I see the Red Top press and some not very good websites are touting Jed Wallace & George Saville (Millwall) to Boro. I'm sure you have bigger fish to fry what with all the money you have in from sales, in the nicest possible way go away and leave our players alone. As it goes we are only a couple of players away from a top six side, I'm sure lots of championship sided think the same, however it is true. Good win against Sheff Utd by the way.

I tried to register last week in time to post this a few days before Saturday's game, I had to wait for clearance from admin. It would have been posted tongue in cheek as it is now, Scroobius Pip being 'Wall.
