Can't imagine the reason for that one, preparing for a another league,1?

think they might be able to squeeze more money put of it somehow. Their fans are worried as the close proximity of the away fans to their 'noisy' stand is the only thing generating any atmosphere atm.

His stamina is awesome. Still running after 96 minutes while everyone else wilts.

He’s missed a handful of games in 2 seasons with us. Considering how athletic and dynamic his role is, it’s seriously impressive.

I've always assumed it was something to do with them being seafaring places, so may have seen a lot of crew etc move between the two?

Norfolk accent is apparently quite close to Dutch. Had a lot of Flemish weavers come over in 16th C (who got lonely and kept canaries), plus trade with Hanseatic League. Locals started mocking their inflections but eventually it stuck. I can testify this can happen...

All the lads working behind the counter and in the turnstiles at Millwall spoke just like Rudoni.
They have totally different inflections from the sarrf Londoners I knew circa 40 to 50 yrs ago.

Unbearable

Apt description of her contribution. It really does detract from the experience, which is such a shame as Rob is making a good fist of filling Clive's shoes.

I once saw a sign on the back of a lorry. It read "Norfolk Enchants". ( say it quickly!)

Similar to many years ago when a horse owner tried to register the name Norfolk En Chance

Even the sky commentator said about Lampard, his team's 4.0 up and he looks like he's lost a fiver.

Couldn't care less, as long as we keep getting results.

It's hard to imagine Frank crying over a lost fiver.
