What a load of utter scum. First of all they storm a pub in Kenton with Wigan fans in it and then they start fighting each other in the stands at Wembley. They continue to outdo themselves the low life scum. Classless idiots who deserve each other. Just as well they didn't win because if we win tomorrow, Millwall v Chelsea would have been carnage
I hadnt even considered the possible consequences of a millwall chelsea final! Other clubs seem to have loet their hooligan nutters inside the groundbut millwall seem to have kept a higher percentage of their nutters. I feel for the club and the majority of their fans cos they do great community work but have some complete animals that they cant seem to shake
The biggest problem with Wembley (especially when 2 London clubs are involved) is that it's virtually unpoliceable as fans are coming from all over the shop. At least with Wigan and City you know exactly where all the fans are going to be coming from /drinking so you can make plans. Chelsea fans could be coming from South/West/North or East London as well as any of the Home Counties or even the Midlands. Millwall fans will cop all the blame but for every 1 animal there are 200 that are decent. The fact is the semis should never have been played at Wembley and today is an example of why. Neither club has the fanbase to accommodate 30,000+. I'd wager a bet that at least 20% of those have never been to a Millwall game in their lives or no longer go. At Saturday 5.15pm in the midst of school holidays where parents are at home with their kids all week it's just an excuse for a massive piss up. It will be carnage across town centres in South London and Kent tonight. 3pm at Villa Park on a Saturday, problem solved
DL--We've been to Wembley and played against the Spuds and Gooners and managed to get throgh all our games there with good friendly banter! Millwall unfortunately have a small following that want to go to war with everyone they are matched against! I find it hard to understand why they haven't had a witch hunt to identify and ban those who must be part of a mad section of their following! It happened here with the " Chelsea head hunters" and they were identified and banned!
I saw a group of Chelsea fans almost beat the living daylights out of a few Arsenal in a completely unprovoked attack (pretty much). I've seen other scuffles between Chelsea and Arsenal as well and pre-match v Spurs there were well known incidents before the match. The only reason why there was no widescale violence post match is because 90% of the Spurs fans had left a good 20-30 minutes before Chelsea and those that hadn't kept their head down. All I'm saying is if you put 30k people in a confined area - 1/3 of which (at least) which will be heavily boozed up - it only takes one comment or one person to give another a funny look and then it's mayhem, it's no different to any town centre on a Friday night. We've seen no such incidents at any Millwall game this season and 20k of those that went today wont step foot in The Den all year. I can't imagine anyone is as angry or upset about this than the real Millwall fans.
Nobody likes us we don`t care, it`s not a reference to the club but the supporters and they should be ashamed of this not brag about it. Today was to be expected, they were fighting amongst themselves because nobody else wanted to fight.
Was this a case of the "brain deads" belting each other, or did they pick on decent supporters??? With all the cameras present, surely this time they can find and clear the scum out once and for all.
Rangers been at it too: Our neighbours are making their presence felt to the last!! AN EVERTON fan was stabbed when he rushed to the rescue of a woman seen arguing with a man believed to be an away supporter The fan, 20, was walking along Priory Road, Anfield, after the Blues and Queens Park Rangers match when he saw a scuffle and tried to intervene. But the man – whom he described as a QPR supporter – plunged a blade into his chest. The attack happened minutes after the end of the Blues’ 2-0 victory at Goodison. The victim was rushed to hospital and given emergency treatment for a punctured lung. Today, detectives urged the woman who was seen arguing with the man to come forward to help find the attacker. It is understood they were working on the basis the attacker was a QPR supporter. At this stage, it is unclear whether the woman was with the knifeman or was local. The supporter told friends via social media he “knows for a fact” his attacker was an away supporter and that he intervened because he couldn’t stand by and watch the man “put his hands on a female”. He tweeted that he was “trying to shop him kicking off on a bird” before he “stabbed me”. He added he had “just done what anyone else would have”. The supporter was being bombarded by twitter messages urging him a speedy recovery from his injuries. Friends who rushed to the hospital tweeted that they were taking him magazines, chocolates and biscuits. He is now recovering at home but has been told by doctors he must rest up in bed for a week. Merseyside Police Detective Sergeant Steve Reardon said they were keen for witnesses of the attack, which took place at the junction of Priory Road and Walton Lane, to come forward. DS Reardon added: “This incident happened straight after the Everton vs QPR match and there were a lot of people in the area. “I believe people would have witnessed this incident and I would urge them to come forward. I am also keen to speak to the woman who was seen arguing with the offender, prior to the assault. “She may have vital information that could assist with our enquiries.” Anyone with information should contact Merseyside Police 0151 777 4065 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
The really upsetting part of this on the TV news coverage were picking up pictures of a little girl and little boy (about 7 or 8 years old) nearby with their parents absolutely terrified and crying their eyes out! The law wants to come down real heavy on the perpetrators!
Worse things have happened. Was a bizarre incident though, fighting each other. That's what happens with a 5:15 kick off though, they need another stadium further north or just don't have semis at Wembley. Not sure how or why they've blamed us though, where has that been said bucks?
I'm with you there, just awful for the kids and their parents. Time to stop blaming kick off times and stadium venues, none of that should matter. Truth is rock apes are rock apes. people need to be held responsible for their actions and punishments should be stronger, big time.
It was said by callers in the Millwall end on 5live 606... I'm sure they are just trying to get it off of them and onto us and West Ham though... I think the real reason has been determined... It wasn't a good weekend for footie violence. Everything Millwall did from fighting in the stands to storming Wigan pubs and moving onto Trafalgar Square Newcastle fans rioting A QPR fan stabbed an Everton fan An Arsenal fan chucked a bottle into the Norwich away section cracking a woman's head open Footie violence.... the threat of a war... Maggie Thatcher taking the limelight... We sure this is 2013!?
Seems like we're in a time warp Bucks, but Maggie Thatcher, surely you're too young to remember he Poll Tax???
Aha I know mate... a bit before my time! Well if this time wrap got back terracing and persistent standing I'm all for it!
Sshhhh don't mention Thatcher again arrrrrgggg. The law is too lenient about most things, get a time warp where prisons are back to what they were and there wouldn't be so many people willing to go there then. I stood on terraces for years and never any trouble, couldn't imagine having to sit and watch a game, my bottom wouldn't be on the seat for more than about 2 minutes in the whole game. Must be soooooo frustrating.
