I’ve heard Millwall fans argue that they are the true “London” club being closest to Charring X
As do Chelsea.
Historically the city of London is the true London. The city of London's flag has Charlton's sword on it as a tribute to the real London club. Case closed.
Centre of London is measured to Charring Cross not to The City of London. On that basis it’s Millwall that is the closest to the centre.
Yes - Millwall beat Chelsea by a few hundred yards. The Old Den would have been touch and go with Stamford Bridge.
Steve Kavanagh is currently on 5 Live. Very much in the role of Millwall executives from previous eras, didn't hear anything inside the ground, trouble outside is outside his remit and they probably did not have tickets for the game
The atmosphere I experienced tonight, nothing like that. If my dad had took me to the valley as a kid, I’d have got bored and stopped going. If my dad had took me to selhurst I’d have been embarrassed and stopped going.
Thank god for Millwall
Yeh let’s cut lads in the face. Thank god for Millwall
Takes two to tango, and Everton are famous for it. County Road cutters? Think you will find that there was a large mob of Everton yesterday more than keen. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/County_Road_Cutters
Regardless of Everton's history, watching the clip of the slashing incident is one of the snidest, most cowardly things I've seen...climbing over a wall, sneaking up and slashing a bloke involved in a fist fight then slinking back off again...sheer and utter cowardice.
Truly horrible little club (albeit with the odd handful of decent fans) that attract a huge percentage of yellow teethed, feral, thicko, inadequates who gain some sort of misguided validation of tagging themselves onto the pathetic and timewarped image they've fostered to give a contrived identity to an otherwise wholly irrelevant establishment.
The further fallacy espoused by fans of other clubs who talk about them as some sort of proper old school working class club with proper fans etc is equally bollocks as football didn't start in the 70s when hooliganism came to prominence and being working class and proper doesn't mean carrying on the way they do with the deluded sense of self aggrandisation and pride as if having the biggest collective of thuggish scum and mouth breathing inadequates going to football is some sort of achievement outside of its culturally relevant heyday of the 70s and 80s.
It is a myth they keep needing to peddle to justify having such a scum element amongst their ranks and give it some sort of false romantic or noble justification when the reality is it's just a bunch of lemons acting like a bunch of lemons.
They have some very hard, violent and psychopathic followers undoubtedly...good for them....(who really cares and what does it count for in 2019?), but the worst are the kind that @Carter refers to....the types who tag on to the image and the nutters and revel in the exploits of others as if it elevates them to some sort of tough guy image by association. Social media is awash with them in their silly caps and stone island coats in the aftermath of days like today and it is all very amusing.
They remind me of the Mickey Pierce character in Scum and for every "handy"nutter they have out looking to injure someone over a game of football as a release for their psychological/emotional issues, they'll have 50 of the skinny Jeremy Kyle types who if it came down to it on their own would struggle to fight their way out of a wet paper bag before their malnourished frames gave out due to a diet of 10 lambert and butler and supermarket energy drinks.
All very tragic and comically amusing and as much as they may laugh at the likes of silly little trainspotting Charlton the complete lack of self awareness they possess of how they are actually perceived by 99% of adults and people with a bit of nous and common sense is hilarious.
Brilliant post, but surely you are not expecting a response from any Millwall fans to that? It would take them five years and a Chambers dictionary before that happened!
The ones that post on here are all sensible to be fair.
Have no problems with them generally, but they haven't relied yet have they?
The policing of all London clubs has changed. Was centralised a while back. All those who knew how to police Millwall for this kind of fixture are long gone. Sadly.
Everyone hates us its always our fault, some even saying the song wasnt racist and some suggesting that the person who filmed it was employed by The FA to video anything that could be bad just so they could punish Millwall
Nothing will happen to them, again, and in a week or month or year it will happen again, and most of the air time will be what a wonderful community club they are and that no-one is trying harder to stamp out this sort of thing than Millwall...repeat to fade...
In reality, there is a pretty obvious reason why plucky little Millwall have to work harder than most to 'stamp out' misbehavior, they attract the majority of the regions dickheads, that cycle will never be broken and after all why should it, no-one likes them and they don't care.

All that’s missing from that quote on your Millwall excuse bingo game card is ‘they were West Ham fans looking to cause the club trouble’

Anyone else secretly hoping for a Chelsea v Millwall 5th round game?
millwall will probably win!!!, people can say what they want but they do have something at the den and i dont mean some sort of pest problem but they always give the cup their all, they are currently 6 points from safety and those occupying bottom 3 cant string a sentance together let alone a win, personally i would like to see them get someone beatable then get burtoneque demantled by city
I have heard the same chant from Charlton fans, but it was 1996, at Anfield.
Having said that, I know we have a few ****heads ourselves, but unless Millwall start to own their problem and stop looking elsewhere to justify why it keeps happening with them, nothing will change.
Certainly the FA will do Sweet Fanny Adams about it.
This puts a slightly different slant on it. So much for the innocent victim.
Seen this all over today. Bollocks IMO. Just looks like his hand. Even heard the suggestion he had his own knife used on him by the Millwall bod after dropping it, when you can clearly see the Millwall bod jump over the wall and use it.
If I turn out to be wrong I’ll hold my hand up and say he got what he deserved.
Millwall fans should be banned from the Wimbledon fixture.
In my 30+ years of supporting Charlton I have been to hundreds and hundreds of matches, only once have I heard a dickhead use a a racist expression. This bloke is a tool and probably better suited to Millwall.
I know Millwall fans get away with this vile behaviour week in, week out.
what is even funnier is all these come out of the woodwork millwall fans that are apparently going to the fixture - the faces on them when they realise how small kingsmeadow is will be hilarious.

Only 750 odd tickets for away fans....bet they are gutted with that draw, though they do have a good chance of a QF place.
Millwall have been charged by the Football Association after some fans allegedly chanted racist language during the FA Cup fourth-round win over Everton in January.
Supporters could be heard using a racist term that is derogatory to the Pakistani community during the game.

Probably lobbed by an investment banker from Chiswick trousering 2 million per year.

Ban the lot of them, should be ashamed.
"Millwall are expected to become the first English club to be punished for racist chants among their fans after an FA rule change"...
This will be seen by most of them morons as an honour,to add alongside the Community Club Of The Year/season/decade Trophy....
They’re safe and 12 to 1 to go down
FA seem to have gone quiet on the racist chanting tho
