Sweet!<BR/><BR/>Fatalist...I have to agree that Millwall fans aren't so very bad. I <B>really,</B> have to or Reidski wouldn't like me anymore, and no one bottled me when I shouted'Come on Luton' so they must be good guys.

With mention of THAT infamous FA Cup game over twenty years ago. Brought back many...erm, memories. Despite being a Dulwich Hamlet fan I've always had a soft spot for the Lions, and they're not half as bad as people make out. But back to then. I actually paid to get in. I was gutted, as half the huge Millwall contingent later kicked the gates down. Luton deserved what they got for not making the game all ticket. How was it, all of South London knew it was going to kick off big time that night, but greedy 'lets count the pound notes' Luton never? I'm not condoning or condemning it. I was part of it that night. My brother said to once, a few years ago, that being a Dulwich Hamlet fans was the best thing that ever happened to me. I asked him why. He said if I was a Millwall fans like most of my old mates from school I'd have ended up in prison a long time ago.<BR/> The thing is...he was spot on.The Fatalisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05256673795000009302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29004177.post-1151213877312486102006-06-25T06:37:00.000+01:002006-06-25T06:37:00.000+01:00I took a walk down Polk Street the other day, and ...I took a walk down Polk Street the other day, and every bar with a TV was packed and filled with people cheering or yelling at soccer matches. It's all Greek to me, just like baseball and basketball, but it's interesting to see a new kind of football catching on here. (American football I've loved since I was little because nobody explained to me until it was too late that the men were wearing padding. I thought they were actually shaped that way.)themoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12210342040578899281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29004177.post-1151098082088270142006-06-23T22:28:00.000+01:002006-06-23T22:28:00.000+01:00At the moment, J, I would love Ghana to stuff rubb...At the moment, J, I would love Ghana to stuff rubbish old arrogant England.<BR/><BR/>England are boring me, and I honestly didn't feel elated by any of their wins. <BR/>Winning by fluke doesn't count.The Great Blandinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06045191152829697770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29004177.post-1151093052293245542006-06-23T21:04:00.000+01:002006-06-23T21:04:00.000+01:00Saying farewell to Sven can't come soon enough - n...Saying farewell to Sven can't come soon enough - no matter how England do in the knockout phase. I think a player like Andy Johnson would have made an excellent striking foil for Crouch. When Owen twisted his knee that was the time that Walcott should have been brought on and the fact that he wasn't brought on proves that The Turnip has boobed - no matter how he pleads in his defence. I just hope Hull City don't sign this empty-headed Scandanavian lothario up as manager.
