Millwall Match Thread

[Schards#2]

LOL at all the people who were no doubt thinking up long posts to write about lack of ambition, no signings etc at 0-2 down, but will no doubt now be spunking themselves at a great comeback.

Its impossible to comment on anything after the first game, some teams will have had better pre-seasons than others, new signings need to settle, nerves, new tactics etc.

Great comeback today, although its seems we got out of jail a little. But lets assess things after the first 10 games, in stead of jumping to conclusions and sprouting the usual pesimistic boll*cks if we are in a bad position after the first few.

Quite clearly, there is a lack of ambition beyond financial stability and a 5-0 win, a 0-5 defeat or a 2-2 doesn't change that.

LOL @ playing "it's getting better all the time" at the final whistle, I hope it was someone being ironic. The reality is that the opposite is true, it gets worse as the team has millions syphoned out of it year after year.

Where is it being syphoned off to?

To fill future potential black holes

[Royal Rother]

So not actually syphoned off anywhere then. Ok.

[Man Friday]

Half of me has really missed the football. The other half of me thinks "here we go again", the same tedious chants, the same immature behaviour from people who should have outgrown their actions and words 35-40 years ago. Some blokes in their 40s and 50's, Y22, rows R and S spouting childish crap thinking they're funny when everyone else is thinking what absolute prats they are, criticising the team (Pearce in particular), SJM and anything else their small brains can muster. They were even having a go at the girls playing at half-time. Take a look at yourselves you saddos. No, don't bother on second thoughts, you're lost causes by this age.

I said the team is having millions syphoned off of it year after year, which it is. You asked the subsequent question of where it is syphoned to, to which I gave you the club's answer.

My observations in a quite enjoyable game (in the end) in which a draw was probably a fair result.
Hunt was awful
Long a shadow of his former self
Manset was appalling up until the goal.Kanu anonymous
Karacan played well and the midfield was lacking after he left the field
Defence Not very good
Kebe and Mcanuff good in patches, off the pace in others.
Feds saved us a few times.
Poor ref
Millwall fans simply LOL

Appalling maybe too strong a word, but he seemed to get knocked off the ball easily at times, but he is new to this level still and will get better. Hunt was awful though, first touch was poor and then resorted to diving.

[Bandini]

Two interesting things about Manset.

1. He was born in Metz, very near me over here.
2. Mathieu is my son's name.



Ps gtfi, my weekend is saved.

Wife wears the trousers?

Weak. You were clearly using "team" as a synonym for "club" or your statement makes no sense. Team is a notional entity comprised of club employees and has no money to be "syphoned off". So, you agree the money stays within the club?

[Bandini]

Innnnnteresting. Something for everyone to feed on there. It's never boring following Reading (with apologies to schards)

[jazz]

Oh dear, you sad people should be feeling glad that we came back at the death. Two late goals from the Man should thrill you. Cheer up!

Yoikes! That's some horrible defending.

[Handsome Man]

Good game

I enjoyed the first half and thought we were a little unlucky to be two goals down. Great comeback.

Couldn't see where to pin fault for the goals
Long and Kebe were good.
Federici was excellent, though that save in injury time was done for the cameras
Hunt and Griffin just weren't fit - should have been off after 45 minutes.
Manset had a few really goood touches before the first goal - you could say it had been coming
Pearce looked better than Mills and Khomalol was nice and tall

[jonboy29red]

amazingly one father and his (what looked like 10 yr old son) tried to reach y26 and were both thrown out after trying to take on the stewards.

that bloke with his kid was giving it large when it all kicked off then had a word with the stewards as his son was crying and asked to be moved as he left his son started to give the finger to us in that area so got a mouth full of everyone

What utter nonsense, I said the team because I meant the team. Year on year it has millions syphoned out of it. If I meant the club, I would have said "the club".

Sadly, it's only the team that can win points, not balance sheets, so if money drains from the team to elsewhere, ultimately, performances suffer.

[Royal Rother]

Schards, presumably you are aware that the definition of "syphon off" is as follows:

Phrasal Verb: Syphon off

Meaning: Divert money illegally

What a shit post. I'm thankful he did otherwise you'd always see the boring sky/bbc muted crowd rubbish.

[Para Handy]

I'll confess, I'm not going to read what I assume is an angst ridden thread.

Just like to say that I'm mildy shocked that Millwall's fans are still living in the 80's. Interesting trip on the bus to the ground, full of the sort of people that I'd go out of my way to avoid in a social situation.

Any HOF readers, reading this.. hmm. you lot.. you're a bit wacky aren't you? Bit woo, bit racist. Wish we'd beaten you for lots of reasons, football mostly, but also because your fans are still stuck in some sort of time warp. Along with Stoke, Palace and Wolves you're the most unpleasant set of knobs I've seen at the Madejski. Don't bother telling me you don't care.
