Millwall V West Ham tomorrow. There’s hatred and there’s this. I’m fully in the Millwall camp on this one a proper community club with a great hardcore base. I know a lot of you woke twats won’t like them or the game but this is what football is about. Two working class communities thrashing it out no one caring about the pre match entertainment, what the food is like or if pints are pre poured. Football in its most pure form. Come on Millwall

A win tomorrow and I think we can be really pleased with this first "segment" of the season. Away form is the main concern so far so a win would address that.

Dictate the game from the kick off, stop this sit back and see what the opposition do bollox.

100%. I live just outside Bournemouth and every single one of their fans who I know used to support one of the big clubs. Fair play to Bournemouth, but gravity always wins eventually.

Another win and top of the league https://x.com/SFCYouthMatches

Can someone put this up please https://ibb.co/B5dRc0wM

I agree it was probably wrong for us to sell him when we did, but on the other hand, I think it has been what he needed to get more experience and confidence at League One level and now a chance with a team where he will get plenty of opportunities to start at Championship level. Whilst it would have been nice to see us re-sign him in the summer, I'm not sure he would have suited us the way we are playing right now and he likely wouldn't have got the opportunities to start and show what he can do that he is getting at Brizzle.

Also we have been badly run as a football club since the season we sacked Ralph for not giving him money to strengthen the team especially a striker!

Bournemouth and abrighton will have their time and get relegated, especially Bournemouth, unless they get themselves a new ground. They like us cannot rely on selling players and getting replacements.

Yes, I suppose my point is that conventional wisdom is that it's impossible to scout and buy well beyond the odd lucky convergence of signings. Those three clubs are starting to suggest that this might not be true, which isn't necessarily contradicted by basket cases like ourselves, West Ham and Leicester recruiting poorly.

These are adjacent observations, yet you have phrased them as if they were corrections.

Yep, bought well in 2014 and 2015 drawing on Koeman’s gravitas, 2016 Les Reed thought he’d reinvent football and a failed takeover followed.

1) We got better (for 2 years) after the summer sales of 2014 and 2015, not worse. 2) Every club in the world is a "selling club", bar Real Madrid.

Has to be to do with the 30th anniversary next year, but it’s slightly wearisome that it keeps on dragged up and rehashed. Diana wrote her own books. Harry is probably got a contract lined up for next summer to directly tie in with 30 years.

They have consistently bought well, we spectacularly did not

If you just want to cherry pick (pardon the pun) those three clubs as an example then sure. If you also take into account Wolves, West Ham, Burnley, Leicester, Luton, Sheff Utd, Watford, Norwich, West Brom, Huddersfield, Cardiff, Swansea, Stoke, Boro, QPR, Wigan, Bolton, Brum and probably a couple of others who've all dropped out the PL in the last 10-12 years then actually staying in the PL at all, let alone competitively in the top half, is notoriously difficult.

We managed it for 10 years. Brighton will match that benchmark if they stay up this season.

I don't think many clubs will do well after two consecutive seasons of selling off all your best players.

Jesus wept.

Caernarfon managed 9 tonight.

Tinpot. Off you trot pal. Enjoy Sandbanks.

Is it time to retire the old myth that selling clubs always fall apart after one or two rounds of big sales? The ongoing competitiveness of Brentford, Bournemouth and Brighton does rather suggest that our problem was just shit scouting.

We have two trophies, the same as you. EFL trophy( Inaugural winners in 84) Championship winners 14/15. Happy to help 🤣
