Proof of how weak we at the back....
« on: January 26, 2013, 01:16:59 PM »
http://www.newsatden.co.uk/12894-millwall-captain-shittu-aston-villa-defender-begged-me-not-to-score-again.html

DANNY Shittu revealed one of Aston Villa's defenders begged him for mercy after the defensive powerhouse scored from a corner in Millwall's FA Cup triumph on Friday.
Shittu produced a dominant performance at both ends of the pitch to inspire the Lions to a famous fourth round victory over the Premier League side in front of an ecstatic crowd at The Den.
The Millwall captain scored a crucial equaliser to cancel out Darren Bent's opener for the visitors - and he believed Paul Lambert's side were scared of his physical presence.
"I was surprised because most of their defenders were kind of small," Shittu said. "The guy they put on me looked really worried. In the second-half he was begging me not to score another goal.
"It was about time I scored. I think this is the first time the manager has told to go up for every set-piece and it was nice to be back up there again. I'm usually on the half-way line.
"Their whole team looked vulnerable. We expected more from them to be honest because they are a Premier League side. Don't get me wrong, they did well but they gave us time to play.
"Normally in the Championship you don't get that much time to bring the ball down. It was still a really hard game and it certainly wasn't easy.
"I'm enjoying playing for the club and I'm enjoying defending. This is what I do. We're really happy to have done this against a Premier League side."
John Marquis struck a late winner to secure Millwall's spot in the fifth round draw on Sunday and Shittu is hoping for another home tie.
He said: "I do not really mind who we draw, as long as we play them at The Den. Whoever comes here will find it very hard. These fans really get on the opposition's backs."

You know, I think we might be the worst run professional club in Britain. Other than Rangers of course. Seriously, to take what they have and do this to it - Lerner, Faulkner and their succession of managers have performed miracles.

Lichaj I thought but might be wrong.


We have no steal at all. 2 6"4 blokes in our team, one at the back and one at centre mid, and we would be a totally different proposition.


It is cringe-worthy to read though.

That quote is complete and utter bollocks! How anybody can imagine someone on the football pitch saying to an opposition player please do not score against us is seriously delusional.

Jesus H fucking titty christ, all we need now is for every single person who's ever played for Villa to be arrested in the Jimmy Savile investigation and the bad news for the year will be complete.

The way things are, the worst is I am not shocked by it. If for one second it was said, our mentality at set plays is clearly shot to bits.

Then why is it nowhere apart from that Millwall fan site? It's bullshit, but people here are lapping it up.

The title of the thread says 'Proof', in no way is any of this hearsay, half-arsed bullshit proof of anything other than how much the media & some 'fans' are quick & determined to kick us when we are down.

I don't need Shittu or anyone else to point out the obvious, I just wish that Lerner would release funds to put it right.
