What do Millwall, Middlesbrough, Ipswich and Brentford have in common?

All crap away trips? Although having said that, to be fair I have never visited Brentford's ground.

I'm not angry at you for that answer, just very disappointed.

It's quaint

Post by: Damo70 on November 25, 2018, 05:40:51 PM: I know Boro and Ipswich helped us win a title in 1981 and Millwall stopped us from winning a title in 1988 but I can't connect Brentford to any of that.

Post by: Sexual Ealing on November 25, 2018, 05:41:44 PM: Millwall sold us Cascarino, who wasn't Irish. We got Merson from Middlesbrough, who also isn't Irish. Ipswich really won the league in 1981, and Brentford have a pub at every corner of the ground. Is it Brexit?

Post by: PeterWithesShin on November 25, 2018, 05:51:24 PM: I think it's 55 league home games and those are the only 4 we didn't score in. You could add another one for Boro is you class the play-off game as a league game.

Assuming you don't class the play-off as a league game the last home league we didn't score in was Millwall 9th December.
