Oh bloody hell Sunderland flag drapped across the drum's, not bad though!

 

[Terry_dactyl]

It was an off-the-cuff remark which I stated with utter disregard for historical accuracy, calm down lads

You say that, but it’s these sort of off-the-cuff remarks that nearly cost lives. Just ask Rene from ‘Allo Allo’…which could be quite tricky nowadays.

 

[wingy]

Don't tell em Pike!

 

[SomersetSB]

I’m travelling from the west on the train fingers crossed early train 7.30

I mean at this stage I feel like I’m trying to compete with @usskyblue and that hurricane they had.

Where do you live if you don’t mind me asking?

 

[itsabuzzard]

Nick why can’t I post images?

Because they might upset some people.

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Where do you live if you don’t mind me asking?

Cardiff.

 

[MillwallFan]

Frank is going into a cauldron tomorrow, what with his West Ham & Chelsea connections.

We need to start well and nullify the crowd.

Millwall will be pumping the ball into our box, and looking for freekicks anywhere in the final third, to get a set piece.

I’m cautiously optimistic though.

Yep, we’ll be pumping balls into the box for Bradshaw, our 5’9 striker to get on the end of, and your big CH’s will just let that happen, won’t they?

Millwall's greatest ever manager died in the week (John Docherty)

I'd probs guess that their minds will be leaning towards paying tribute to him as opposed to booing Lampard

Yep, we always play crap when there’s someone we need to pay our respects to. The occasion always gets to the players.

Plus, we’ll have the 1988 side on the pitch beforehand (the side that played in our first ever season in the old First division - managed by Docherty who got us promoted to that division), so having the likes of Teddy Sheringham, Tony Cascarino, Jimmy Carter and Terry Hurlock watching from the directors box isn’t going to ply any pressure on our players now, will it?

Already called it, Coventry 3-1 win! (unfortunately).

have i missed something in wright being fit?!

 

[blunted]

Millwall 2 Coventry wait and see.

 

[usskyblue]

If I can do the eye wall of Hurricane Milton, you can do this m8.

Shutter your house if you can.
Bring in anything outside that’s not bolted down.
Make sure you’re okay if the power goes out for (at least) a week (batteries, power banks etc.)
Plenty of food and water.
Fill the bath to flush your bogs with, in case the sewage pumps stop working.
Fill the car with gas (petrol ffs)
Get cash. In case stores lose credit card lines.

And most importantly; Have enough booze to sink a fuckinship

 

[skyblue025]

Is it a statistically relevant fact after four games? That’s my question.

Is four shit games not enough for you? Should we give him 10 and when he has conceded another 10-12 then say "He's is the worst in the league"

 

[MillwallFan]

Millwall 2 Coventry wait and see.

There’s no way we’re gonna score 2.

The last time that happened was September 28th, at home to Preston North End where we won 3-1.

No chance that lightning will strike twice in the same place, inside the Den again!

 

[David O'Day]

have i missed something in wright being fit?!

forgot about that, sub in emc

 

[skyblue025]

If we play Collins in goal you are almost garunteed to score 2 if you can hit the target 3 times.

 

[SBT]

He hasn’t had four shit games this season. Against Sunderland you could make a case for him being MOTM.

 

[skyblue025]

I disagree pal. What was the stat, 8 shots on target 6 conceded?

 

[procdoc]

Is Wright back for this?

 

[ptr]

Is Wright back for this?

No.

 

[Otis]

There's some pretty shit weather now predicted to hit the SE.
Not the same severity as the SW so should be OK but we'll see.

Yup.

It's bloody windy here for sure on the east coast. About 54 mph at the moment

 

[Bernie Rhodes Nose]

It's wind not snow

Bloody windflakes!!!

 

[Bernie Rhodes Nose]

The weather in SE London at 3pm is mildish, wet and gusty

View attachment 40050

Nothing so far unless there's a big over night change to say the game is at risk

If people are getting the Train, i'd leave at bit earlier if possible though

And the way we're playing I'd suggest the same plan during the match.

 

[alexccfc99]

And so it begins…

All the West Midlands Railway Trains from Coventry to Euston are cancelled

 

[pusbccfc]

The away end will be empty if all the trains are cancelled today.

 

[alexccfc99]

The away end will be empty if all the trains are cancelled today.

Avanti services from Cov to Euston are showing as running as it stands - it’s just the ‘stopper’ trains that are not running

Alternatively, trains are running from Nuneaton as it stands as are trains from Warwick Parkway to Marylebone

I’d allow extra time to leave if you are on the train though

 

[Johhny Blue]

The trains are running as normal tomorrow.

Not sure normal is anything to be proud of

 

[North York’s Blue]

Drove down south to Leighton Buzzard last night, the ‘stopper’ trains will be hit and miss today..

 

[theferret]

Every train is either cancelled or delayed, and of the delayed trains, I can't see any that have actually left their origin station yet, trains a no go today I think:

Not sure I’d bother if I had a ticket

No trains are currently running through Nuneaton as safety inspection on track
