QuoteNope not me. I think I know the ruck sack bloke He used to get the same early train as me ...the 5.58 from Hayes. I never spoke to him though as he looked so fkn miserable. Mind you we all probably do....Glad it's not you because I did try to strike up a conversation with him once and he was a miserable twat. It was the morning after the Spurs debacle last season. He hadn't been to the game and he hadn't watched it on Sky. Felt like taking his ruck sack off him and telling him he didn't deserve it....

With respect, it's changed a hell of a lot there since then. From the station at South Bermondsy away fans walk through a cage straight into the ground. As a Leeds supporting friend said to me, it's so well policed down there now you won't even see a Millwall fan if you go by train or coach until you're in the ground. If you're seeking the adrenalin rush you used to get by going there he suggests zip-wiring in from the top of The Shard!
What a sodding joke picking the Man U one is. At home? Against Fulham or Blackpool? Ooh the excitement. If West Ham win at least it might be more competitive but hardly a thrilling prospect either.

Great players, legends no doubt, but Fulham and Blackpool have not won a great deal between them in over 100 years of football.
Think I read somewhere that the last 20' odd or maybe even 30 something FA Cup ties Man U have been in have been shown on TV. Now that really means that the TV money is getting an even'ish distribution doesn't it!!!!
I've always hated Friday night football mostly due to Ian Rush
Friday Night Lights !
Would rather it had been on Saturday. But I guess living in London, it won't make too much difference to me personally. I hope it doesn't effect the amount of Villans coming down though. A Millwall fan I know is quite confident we will get the full allocation of 4,000.
FYI millwall are charging home fans £20/£25 and a fiver for kids for the cup tie (less than league prices).
