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.

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.
Click to expand...

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
Click to expand...

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).

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

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"

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!

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

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

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.

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

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:
