There wasn't much yesterday, but a little more today.
''Hope we don't sit back like Saturday or they'll rip us to shreds. 4-4-2 positive play and get the subs on earlier Coyl''
'' Agree with Hastings. Let's have a pop.
In a cave of a thousand arseholes,
Lit up by dangling tit,
Where Hoo Flung Dung was murdered,
By his brother Hoo Flung ****.''
''A shock 2-0 wall win. Not because we played well,but because for some reason they were ****. And they will give us 2 own goals''
''Horrible arrogant team & full on woke fans.......plenty of clapping when they take the knee ....let's be loud & proud with the boo''
''Spot on.''
'' Thing is, we will start by having a pop at Fulham, but it will only last 10 or 20 minutes! In that time we'll have a couple of gilt edged chances which we won't score from, before Fulham get back into the game, put us on the back foot, and score!''
''And in all of that time being on the back foot, Drawett will do nothing to change things around, and we could very well be 1 or 2 nil down before the break!
Its so, so predictable with Drawett at the helm!
With the Sly cameras there tomorrow night, I feel this will be ideal for them to see us spanked by Fulham! That will happen in the midfield gets over run! Drawett has to play Billy Mitchell alongside corn beef! If he plays Evans, then God help us!''
'' Another draw for us tomorrow won't be a bad result because we all fear the worst.
But stranger things happen and it wouldn't surprise me if we put a couple in their net. After all we often win when unexpected.
Get a foot in early, stop the supply to the forwards and put big Matt on from the start with Benik. COYL!''
''COYL!!! First win of the season tonight, followed by many!!''
''First game for a while with my daughter. Looking forward to it although if it's a spanking you might not see me there for a while again. We owe these up their own assholes slags big time!
if rowett plays the defending game like Harris did we all know the outcome! ******* attack the poncy *****''
'' don't think we will get spanked, I think we will get beat though put it this way I think we will do very well to get a point.''
''I think you're In for a disappointment Tel. Just make sure you treat your daughter In the club shop before the game as you'll be refusing to buy her anything after.''
''they do some half decent clobber but never have enough of any of the sizes just fat bastard size. And don't even get me started on the personnel. Years ago it was worth going in there just to look at the blonde sort behind the counter! The last time I went there I'd be surprised if any of them had a brain cell between them!''
''He must not pick Evans.but no doubt that useless lump will be the 1st name on the team sheet.
Tel let's hope you and your daughter bring us good luck mate.''
'' Now not going as daughter has sickness and the runs. prob only a 24hr bug but she wanted to go back to her mums love her. Oh well prob saved us from watching a mauling anyway. to anyone that goes, please boo with pride for the sky scumbags!''
That's it.
Rocket Scientists they are not
Have they got a time machine over there, it's like going back to the dark ages!
Jeez, those comments, I hope we thrash them now!
I have to say they do sound a lovely bunch don't they. Always hoping for a Fulham win but as lomotd (like the moniker btw!) says hope we thrash em now!
Thanks for posting these always, really enjoy reading them. Hope we absolutely smash them, comments like

They do seem surprisingly primitive.. I browse a few of the fan forums pre and post our matches at times and Millwall do seem the most cave-like. Harsh but kinda true, especially when compared the rest.
One positive for us it seems is that shaun Hutchinson who used to play for us and has been their captain in the past (not sure about now) and a mainstay CB is out injured

Agree with this wholeheartedly - nasty bunch.
Can't imagine many of the posters on their forum are actually very tough. The sort that want to claim validation by talking like they think Millwall fans are supposed to and playing the tough guy from behind their computers. While I wouldn't go out of my way to mess with Millwall fans, those that I have met at the game and elsewhere are nothing like these fakers.
No issues with their supporters generally; every club has at least a few undesirable types and the more football supporters who speak out against corporate woke'ism the better IMO.
That said I still hope we stuff'em.
Being opposed to the gesture of an extreme group which wants to radically reform society does not make you racist
I've been on their forum to have a nosey. They do like to play up to the stereotype on there, but funnily enough the Millwall lads I know & met over the years have generally been top blokes. Years back was working with a few on a building site in Ladbroke Grove, invited me & a mate to their local, little backstreet boozer near the Elephant & Castle. It was for our first game at the New Den, 1-1 Peschisolido. One was a sterward & got me & pal in the away end for nothing

When the 'radical reforms' are simply to create a less racist society, opposing them is racist.
And before someone uses a term they don't understand (like 'neo-Marxism'), I am fairly confident that multimillionaire Marcus Rashford isn't a disciple of Engels and Marx...
None of this sells the East End to me but none of the descriptions they have posted do I fit into anyway. In fact I don't know anyone that does

I agree, I work with a fair few millwall and charlton supporters, plus your usual scattering of glory Hunter fans, the millwall boys are all decent blokes, nothing like the stereotype that a lot seem to have to keep going. Every club has there idiots, even us.
Yes perhaps my post about them being Neanderthal was a tad harsh. Tarquin and I have been discussing ( over our breakfast kedgeree, in his case kidneys) the whole vexing issue of stereotyping football fans and agreed that it simply isn't cricket

There's not supporting it and there's actively booing it. As far as I am concerned the latter is ignorant racism! And that includes anyone who tries to manufacture some argument to justify the boo boys. Ignorant, bigoted, sad racists.

What if one simply doesn't feel that this has a place at a football match for such a prolonged period of time? After all it is not deemed to be an acceptable discussion on this forum.

Essentially trying to convince oneself and others that one is compassionate by getting vicariously offended on behalf of minority or vulnerable groups. The important thing is the woke person must not actually take any significant action or moderate their behaviour to help that group - it's just the gesture of pretending to be offended which matters. And then to reinforce how compassionate you are, you act in a bilious and thoroughly uncompassionate way towards anyone who disagrees with you. See Twig's last post for an excellent example.

Is defunding the police not radical enough for you?
Think he was broadly right in what he was saying to be honest.
And as for my use of that word? It's good not to be one, isn't it? I've certainly not called anyboy it.
I'm not going to respond to your presumed reply though, it's evident from past exchanges that although we appear to mostly align in a footballing sense, we are polar opposited when it comes to other things.

I'll boo simply because I find it tedious and believe it has outlived its purpose, the latter of which numerous victims of online abuse have attested to.
If an extraterrestrial came to Earth a year ago, fell in love with football and decided they'd quite like to stay, they could be forgiven for believing that Racial Inequality is the only issue permeating football. That there's no corruption, greed, mistreatment of youth players etc.

Do you honestly believe that the players want to defund the police?
The mental leap required to try to justify booing an anti-racism gesture is incredible.

Statto I didn't think I could be any clearer but let me try. I fully accept that there are people who have legitimate concerns as to whether taking the knee is appropriate in sporting events. It seems to me that is a perfectly reasonable subject for debate. On that basis it would be wrong to "compel" anyone to support such a gesture. However, I am yet to hear a cogent argument in favour of booing the players choosing to take a knee (some elect not to and they shouldn't get booed either). The only such "arguments" I have heard reek of racism and bigotry. Do you want to offer up a defence for such behaviour? If so I'm open to hearing it.

One little anecdote, Living in London I have never been stopped by the police while driving, three times when in a car being driven by either a black or Asian person the car has been stopped. None of my Black and Asian friends have ever been arrested or been in prison and have jobs that are regarded as respectable and well paid, They have grown up being stopped many times for very little reasons by the police, I have been stopped twice in my lifetime. They do not want special treatment from anyone, just the same as everyone else and this is one way to highlight that discrepancy.

Sorry you find a protest against racial abuse tedious. I'm sure the players that are racially abused daily would love for it to go away as well but it continues unabated, taking the knee is a powerful reminder of that.
But like, how is any of this View From Millwall related? I see enough of this banter in my daily life. Get off ye high horses and pedestals and let's talk Fulham! COYW!!
Ladies & Gentlemen,
This topic has strayed a bit from what I believe is the intentions of the OP. I believe everyone enjoys and appreciates the work that TerryR puts into pulling together these views from our opposing clubs. I don't believe TerryR intended for the OP to start a debate on racism or politics.
While I do think that racism and the taking of the knee should be discussed, it is painfully obvious that it can not be done in a civil manner on this forum.
Please remember the FoF guidelines for posting and keep your postings civil towards your fellow Fulham fans.

This topic has strayed a bit from what I believe is the intentions of the OP. I believe everyone enjoys and appreciates the work that TerryR puts into pulling together these views from our opposing clubs. I don't believe TerryR intended for the OP to start a debate on racism or politics.
While I do think that racism and the taking of the knee should be discussed, it is painfully obvious that it can not be done in a civil manner on this forum.
Please remember the FoF guidelines for posting and keep your postings civil towards your fellow Fulham fans.
Correct
This post is like all posts regarding the ''View from'' posts I make.
Though I believe debate on issues in wider society can be useful and constructive, it was never my intention to start that debate here.
Football and Fulham related ''stuff'' is all I'm interested in posting on the mighty FOF.
Lets smash Millwall regardless of the fans there ( good and bad like all of society)!

Being opposed to the gesture of an extreme group which wants to radically reform society does not make you racist
