    We have owners who say they are not selling, but their bosses say they are. They're two main men suddenly only peripherally involved in the day to day activities at the club. A chairman who may or may not be in charge, and a manager who seems fairly sure he's packing it in but cant decide when. If this was turned into a soap, I think it would be criticised for being too far fetched

    They don't want the fans to see through their lack of ambition, that they are only in it for the short haul.

    Did they seriously ever have ambition? Being an investment bank their only ambition would be to make a profit for their investors as quickly as possible

    No they didn't but they assumed fans would not see through them.

    If we were a soap opera we wouldnt be the obviouus one - Casualty.
    We woulld be Take the Hiigh Road - A cheap cast, unrealistic story lines and only die hards still watching.

    Coulld be worse, we could be Millwall - The story of Mighty and TC - Just good friends!!!

    Do all you wall supporters live in the same commune or homeless shelter? You all seem to arrive here at the same time. Maybe youre conjoined triplets. Now theres an interesting thought

    LUFC Soap opera? El Dorado. Always being promised gold at the end of the rainbow, but it's just a bunch of ****-pickers in reality.

    Millwall soap opera? More like a fake-reality show from the jungle. Get me the **** outta here.
