    Next to the Norwich 'On the Ball City' song, Southampton have probably the next worst of the lot.
    A shame the Spanners had to listen to 'Oh when the Saints' at least five times today :D
    Heads still spinning after that today. First 25 minutes it was all us. Then it just went to pot. When we lose we lose properly. Picked up a couple more injuries as well. Like last season at this stage we’re down to bare bones again. It’s crazy the amount of injuries we pick up early doors. We had 4 or 5 first teamers out before the season even started! Key players as well. Picking up long term injuries in training and friendlies ffs. 

    I tell you something, it’s a shame for you lot that you’re not playing us early in the season this year as I think the winless run would definitely come to an end. As it happens, not playing you until late December will be perfect for us as most of the key players should be back from injury by then and hopefully you’ll have picked up a few along the way also so should be business as usual 😁

    Anyway, three games in, still very early days. I always say give the season 10 games before you start getting over excited or start panicking. We’ve got 6 games in the next 16/17 days which is daunting. We’ll do well to still be around mid table after that run of games with all the injuries we’ve got. 
    Who’s getting over-excited?

    We have a tiny value squad, no ground we own and no money to speak of.

    We have endured years of shit owners, managers and teams UNTIL the current lot bought us and employed Nathan Jones, since which our club is on the way back.

    We played our reserves against Spurs the other night who fielded one player who was worth more than the total value of our entire squad AND our stadium.

    EVERYONE predicted we would be relegated this season and of course, that may happen.

    So, we know our place and today, I think that 7 academy products played in our first team where we deservedly beat a horrible Preston team. We have more players out injured than you, but not the budget you have to buy players we could never afford.

    if we finish 21st, most of us will be happy, because we know we cannot compete with teams in this league who regularly buy players at £6m+, multiple times. So less of your pointless bollox about injuries and how hard done by Millwall are. 
    You are a bigger club than us, but nothing is permanent - remember that.
    The only downside of being in this league is having to listen to the gobshite that Millwall fans spew out. 
    And when you were properly tested in the play offs last year, you blew it- focus on yourselves and do not bore us anymore 

    This is a thread solely about Millwall (which there has always been on CL). You don’t have to open it and read it if you don’t want to. There’s a clue in the title. 
    This Charlton Life, so it’s open season on all threads here. If you don’t like us commenting, you leave ! 

    Sadly, living in South London, I hear your fans spouting rubbish all the time, so if I see it here, I will call it out.

    i don’t often comment on Millwall, but for some reason today, your comments irritated me and I chose to respond.

    I think some Millwall fans seem to think that they will walk this league this year [a few I know have said that to me] and after you get drubbed today, the excuses are already out there. Just accept you were beaten by a better team.

    I have no problem with your team or manager or owners, but a sizeable chunk of supporters do seem to be lacking in the common sense department, something that has blighted your club for decades.




    Well yeah, but at the same time this is the Millwank thread and MillwallFan has almost certainly been on here longer than you, and posted twice as much as you, so unfortunately I think he is probably taking precedence here. FWIW I i haven't seen a single Millwall fan claiming they'll be top 2 or walk the league, so I dunno where in your 'arris you've pulled that from, but I doubt it's true for a second.
    I am surrounded by Millwall supporters who do think they will walk it this year, so that was a key part of my comments.

    I call that unjustified arrogance, even if they do eventually go up,

    What exactly is the point of having a Millwall thread here even if they have  been here a long time?




    Nearly all my family are Millwall. I have scores of friends who are Millwall. I go to every home game and a big chunk of the away games and I  am always chatting to Millwall fans. I browse the forums and social media pages. I can honestly say I’ve not heard or seen one of us talk about ‘walking the league’ after two games. At least not seriously anyway. I’ve seen people discussing our chances of making the top 2, which is why I said some of our fans are getting ‘over excited’ early doors. But walking the league? After two games? No I’ve not heard or seen that mentioned. 
    So are lots of my family and friends season ticket holders at Millwall,  a bit buoyed after the first 2 games and then looking for excuses yesterday. 

    They wind me up with patronising compliments, as if they have ever won anything !

    It’s all banter, but after all we have been through over the last few years, do I want to read about Millwall here?

    Chelsea, Arsenal and even Spurs can look down at us, but Millwall?

    Maybe I will not bother to comment on this thread again, but boy am I bored with Millwall [and Palace].
    Maybe after decades of patronising comments from Charlton fans (Smallwall, Millsmall, never played in the prem etc) they’re taking the opportunity to give a bit back. Don’t let it get to you. As you say, it’s banter and rivalry and without it football would be shit. I’m sure you’ll be able to give it back in a few years time such is the cyclical nature of football.

    I think it’s worth remembering just how good Southampton were last season before spygate. They have a very good team and manager and won’t be far off the automatic places and definitely playoffs. Millwall caught a cold today and it’s gratifying to see they aren’t without weaknesses. I still expect them to be top eight. No amount of me wanting them to struggle will make it happen. As for injuries. Diddums. Charlton have as many key players out. 
    You have 9 regular players out? 
    Difficult to say how regular they'd be but:

    Mannion (2nd choice keeper)
    Ramsay (1st choice right back)
    Sichenje (squad centre back)
    Burke (squad/backup centre back)
    Koumetio (1st choice centre back)
    Edwards (1st choice left back)
    Kelman (arguably 1st choice striker)
    Godden (squad striker, though with Kelman out was 1st choice striker)
    Fullah (youngster we wanted to loan out, can be a squad player)

    Are all injured right now
    Fair enough 

    From our squad we currently have out…

    Jenson (1st choice keeper)
    Crama (1st choice RB)
    Leonard (2nd choice RB)
    Doughty (2nd choice LB/LW)
    Mazou-Sako (1st choice CM)
    Azeez (1st choice RW)
    Cundle (2nd choice CM who regularly comes on as sub and scores)
    Ivanovich (2nd choice CF who is usually used most games)
    Servais (CM/LW signed in the summer but judging on pre season performances looked a shoe in for the first team)
    Howland (promising youngster, winger, only a squad player at the moment though). 

    Despite two good opening results I think we’re going to struggle first half of the season. 
    MF how many games do you actually expect to get out of Alfie a season? Feels like since he left us bar that one season at Luton in the prem when he was fit regularly he's struggled a lot with injury and is there a bit of regret with your fans that you didn't take some of the supposed offers for Ivanovich? 
    Ivanovich off to Cagliari apparently.

    Will be interesting to see what the fee is given Osmajic the Preston biter went to Genoa for €3m.... Think Ivanovich is a far better player and doesn't have the disciplinary nonsense either.

    We have had a s*** time in recent years but it has not been that bad.

    Peter O’Rourke reporting Femi Azeez is Wrexham’s no1 target but he has said he wants to go to the Prem apparently. Be interesting to see what he does as I think they’ll want to cash in but if he doesn’t like the destination that could scupper a move.

    I’ve seen 10-12 million mentioned. Would be amazed if it’s that much but if true that would be a great bit of business for us. Not even first choice and I’m not even sure he’d get ahead of Aconte when he’s fit again.

    A few years time? most sensible thing you've said on here - you were convinced you were light years ahead of us about a year ago - football cycles don't take light years or even decades to turn round - normally takes good owners and most critically, a good manager. Of course we won't be pushing at the top end this year but the graph is looking pretty good and the increase in our squad strength and quality since this time last year is significant.

    I tell you something, it’s a shame for you lot that you’re not playing us early in the season this year as I think the winless run would definitely come to an end. As it happens, not playing you until late December will be perfect for us as most of the key players should be back from injury by then and hopefully you’ll have picked up a few along the way also so should be business as usual 😁

    Anyway, three games in, still very early days. I always say give the season 10 games before you start getting over excited or start panicking. We’ve got 6 games in the next 16/17 days which is daunting. We’ll do well to still be around mid table after that run of games with all the injuries we’ve got. 
    Who’s getting over-excited?

    We have a tiny value squad, no ground we own and no money to speak of.

    We have endured years of shit owners, managers and teams UNTIL the current lot bought us and employed Nathan Jones, since which our club is on the way back.

    We played our reserves against Spurs the other night who fielded one player who was worth more than the total value of our entire squad AND our stadium.

    EVERYONE predicted we would be relegated this season and of course, that may happen.

    So, we know our place and today, I think that 7 academy products played in our first team where we deservedly beat a horrible Preston team. We have more players out injured than you, but not the budget you have to buy players we could never afford.

    if we finish 21st, most of us will be happy, because we know we cannot compete with teams in this league who regularly buy players at £6m+, multiple times. So less of your pointless bollox about injuries and how hard done by Millwall are. 
    You are a bigger club than us, but nothing is permanent - remember that.
    The only downside of being in this league is having to listen to the gobshite that Millwall fans spew out. 
    And when you were properly tested in the play offs last year, you blew it- focus on yourselves and do not bore us anymore 

    This is a thread solely about Millwall (which there has always been on CL). You don’t have to open it and read it if you don’t want to. There’s a clue in the title. 
    This Charlton Life, so it’s open season on all threads here. If you don’t like us commenting, you leave ! 

    Sadly, living in South London, I hear your fans spouting rubbish all the time, so if I see it here, I will call it out.

    i don’t often comment on Millwall, but for some reason today, your comments irritated me and I chose to respond.

    I think some Millwall fans seem to think that they will walk this league this year [a few I know have said that to me] and after you get drubbed today, the excuses are already out there. Just accept you were beaten by a better team.

    I have no problem with your team or manager or owners, but a sizeable chunk of supporters do seem to be lacking in the common sense department, something that has blighted your club for decades.




    Well yeah, but at the same time this is the Millwank thread and MillwallFan has almost certainly been on here longer than you, and posted twice as much as you, so unfortunately I think he is probably taking precedence here. FWIW I i haven't seen a single Millwall fan claiming they'll be top 2 or walk the league, so I dunno where in your 'arris you've pulled that from, but I doubt it's true for a second.
    I am surrounded by Millwall supporters who do think they will walk it this year, so that was a key part of my comments.

    I call that unjustified arrogance, even if they do eventually go up,

    What exactly is the point of having a Millwall thread here even if they have  been here a long time?




    Nearly all my family are Millwall. I have scores of friends who are Millwall. I go to every home game and a big chunk of the away games and I  am always chatting to Millwall fans. I browse the forums and social media pages. I can honestly say I’ve not heard or seen one of us talk about ‘walking the league’ after two games. At least not seriously anyway. I’ve seen people discussing our chances of making the top 2, which is why I said some of our fans are getting ‘over excited’ early doors. But walking the league? After two games? No I’ve not heard or seen that mentioned. 
    So are lots of my family and friends season ticket holders at Millwall,  a bit buoyed after the first 2 games and then looking for excuses yesterday. 

    They wind me up with patronising compliments, as if they have ever won anything !

    It’s all banter, but after all we have been through over the last few years, do I want to read about Millwall here?

    Chelsea, Arsenal and even Spurs can look down at us, but Millwall?

    Maybe I will not bother to comment on this thread again, but boy am I bored with Millwall [and Palace].
    Maybe after decades of patronising comments from Charlton fans (Smallwall, Millsmall, never played in the prem etc) they’re taking the opportunity to give a bit back. Don’t let it get to you. As you say, it’s banter and rivalry and without it football would be shit. I’m sure you’ll be able to give it back in a few years time such is the cyclical nature of football. 
    A few years time? most sensible thing you've said on here - you were convinced you were light years ahead of us about a year ago - football cycles don't take light years or even decades to turn round - normally takes good owners and most critically, a good manager. Of course we won't be pushing at the top end this year but the graph is looking pretty good and the increase in our squad strength and quality since this time last year is significant.  
    Stop lying and putting words in my mouth you absolute clown.

    Heads still spinning after that today. First 25 minutes it was all us. Then it just went to pot. When we lose we lose properly. Picked up a couple more injuries as well.

    No slanging match from me. You’re so ridiculous I’ve got no time for you whatsoever. But if you start saying I’ve said stuff that I haven’t then I’m going to pull you for it. 

    Find where I said we were light years ahead of you. You won’t be able to. In fact, I think it was actually a Charlton fan that used that term on here and I didn’t even agree with him on it. So stop talking nonsense and let’s go back to ignoring each other aye.

I browse the forums and social media pages. I can honestly say I’ve not heard or seen one of us talk about ‘walking the league’ after two games. At least not seriously anyway. I’ve seen people discussing our chances of making the top 2, which is why I said some of our fans are getting ‘over excited’ early doors. But walking the league? After two games? No I’ve not heard or seen that mentioned. 
    So are lots of my family and friends season ticket holders at Millwall,  a bit buoyed after the first 2 games and then looking for excuses yesterday. 

    They wind me up with patronising compliments, as if they have ever won anything !

    It’s all banter, but after all we have been through over the last few years, do I want to read about Millwall here?

    Chelsea, Arsenal and even Spurs can look down at us, but Millwall?

    Maybe I will not bother to comment on this thread again, but boy am I bored with Millwall [and Palace].
    Maybe after decades of patronising comments from Charlton fans (Smallwall, Millsmall, never played in the prem etc) they’re taking the opportunity to give a bit back. Don’t let it get to you. As you say, it’s banter and rivalry and without it football would be shit. I’m sure you’ll be able to give it back in a few years time such is the cyclical nature of football. 
    A few years time? most sensible thing you've said on here - you were convinced you were light years ahead of us about a year ago - football cycles don't take light years or even decades to turn round - normally takes good owners and most critically, a good manager. Of course we won't be pushing at the top end this year but the graph is looking pretty good and the increase in our squad strength and quality since this time last year is significant.  
    Stop lying and putting words in my mouth you absolute clown. 

    I seem to recall I mentioned light years and you actually questioned it. Can't be arsed to look it up.
    There you go. Thanks Bob

    Assuming Charlton and Millwall are both still Championship clubs next season and I’d expect we both will be, I wonder if we might be joined by the stripey clowns. Don’t think they’ll be too far off a relegation place. We can hope.

    Next to the Norwich 'On the Ball City' song, Southampton have probably the next worst of the lot.
    A shame the Spanners had to listen to 'Oh when the Saints' at least five times today :D
    Heads still spinning after that today. First 25 minutes it was all us. Then it just went to pot. When we lose we lose properly. Picked up a couple more injuries as well. Like last season at this stage we’re down to bare bones again. It’s crazy the amount of injuries we pick up early doors. We had 4 or 5 first teamers out before the season even started! Key players as well. Picking up long term injuries in training and friendlies ffs. 

    I tell you something, it’s a shame for you lot that you’re not playing us early in the season this year as I think the winless run would definitely come to an end. As it happens, not playing you until late December will be perfect for us as most of the key players should be back from injury by then and hopefully you’ll have picked up a few along the way also so should be business as usual 😁

    Anyway, three games in, still very early days. I always say give the season 10 games before you start getting over excited or start panicking. We’ve got 6 games in the next 16/17 days which is daunting. We’ll do well to still be around mid table after that run of games with all the injuries we’ve got. 
    Who’s getting over-excited?

    We have a tiny value squad, no ground we own and no money to speak of.

    We have endured years of shit owners, managers and teams UNTIL the current lot bought us and employed Nathan Jones, since which our club is on the way back.

    We played our reserves against Spurs the other night who fielded one player who was worth more than the total value of our entire squad AND our stadium.

    EVERYONE predicted we would be relegated this season and of course, that may happen.

    So, we know our place and today, I think that 7 academy products played in our first team where we deservedly beat a horrible Preston team. We have more players out injured than you, but not the budget you have to buy players we could never afford.

    if we finish 21st, most of us will be happy, because we know we cannot compete with teams in this league who regularly buy players at £6m+, multiple times. So less of your pointless bollox about injuries and how hard done by Millwall are. 
    You are a bigger club than us, but nothing is permanent - remember that.
    The only downside of being in this league is having to listen to the gobshite that Millwall fans spew out. 
    And when you were properly tested in the play offs last year, you blew it- focus on yourselves and do not bore us anymore 

    This is a thread solely about Millwall (which there has always been on CL). You don’t have to open it and read it if you don’t want to. There’s a clue in the title. 
    This Charlton Life, so it’s open season on all threads here. If you don’t like us commenting, you leave ! 

    Sadly, living in South London, I hear your fans spouting rubbish all the time, so if I see it here, I will call it out.

    i don’t often comment on Millwall, but for some reason today, your comments irritated me and I chose to respond.

    I think some Millwall fans seem to think that they will walk this league this year [a few I know have said that to me] and after you get drubbed today, the excuses are already out there. Just accept you were beaten by a better team.

    I have no problem with your team or manager or owners, but a sizeable chunk of supporters do seem to be lacking in the common sense department, something that has blighted your club for decades.




    Well yeah, but at the same time this is the Millwank thread and MillwallFan has almost certainly been on here longer than you, and posted twice as much as you, so unfortunately I think he is probably taking precedence here. FWIW I i haven't seen a single Millwall fan claiming they'll be top 2 or walk the league, so I dunno where in your 'arris you've pulled that from, but I doubt it's true for a second.
    I am surrounded by Millwall supporters who do think they will walk it this year, so that was a key part of my comments.

    I call that unjustified arrogance, even if they do eventually go up,

    not getting in a slanging match with you - relax 
    No slanging match from me. You’re so ridiculous I’ve got no time for you whatsoever. But if you start saying I’ve said stuff that I haven’t then I’m going to pull you for it. 

    Find where I said we were light years ahead of you. You won’t be able to. In fact, I think it was actually a Charlton fan that used that term on here and I didn’t even agree with him on it. So stop talking nonsense and let’s go back to ignoring each other aye. 
    Can't be arsed - u definitely used words to that effect and i told you things can turn around very quickly - you were banging on about having been building for 10 years and we'd have to do the same and all that - its not that important but the evidence will be on here somewhere - you're on our forum and you're getting very abusive - now calm down.

    We live in hope, it is very easy to go on a bad run in the money league, but very hard to get out of it.

    'You are currently light years ahead of us and I think that's about ownership more than anything.'

    ‘light years’ is probably stronging it a bit.'

    So two years ago, Millwall released Abdul Abdulmalik on a "free". He's now broken the non league record transfer fee, at £1.5m from Boreham Wood to the Swedish side Djurgarden, with I believe a zero sell on fee. Great business if you can get it!

    I like Millwall fan and his persona on CL 👏🏻

    No one takes losing to Millwall worse than me and even snatching a draw from the Jaws of Victory at the Valley last season because of Ramsay's brain freeze did my nut in 🤦🏻‍♂️ as for the red card for Solly when we went 1-0 up and lost 2-1, I had to have the Samaritans as one of my family and friends on the landline (it was a while ago !)

    Ironically enough because my Parents, bless them were both Bermondsey born and bred and my Dad was a Millwall fan like my mum's Brothers he took me down the old Den. Because I was a kid who liked poetry, Clowns and trains, mum said to take me down  to the valley after I got hit by a stray coin that was thrown by a docker who was aiming at the lineman.

    By the time I was 10, I phoned a child hot line and Dad had to stop taking me to the Dirty Den underneath the Arches.

    Charlton was a sad, lonely place with small crowds on the massive open crumbling east terrace but it was home for me and I had found my football team soul mate.

    I wandered lonely as a cloud.
