Really don’t get the kickoff times today! No other games on before us why we kicking off at 16.00? Also how rubbish is that for Sheffield Wednesday fans having to kick off at 18.00 on a sunday evening. Least for us it’s a relatively local game. Just shows Tv companies really don’t give a hoot about fans.

It really is madness for the Wednesday supporters. Leaving West London to het back oop North. Some late night trek, very avoidable. This crap has to be justified but I can't see any sense in it at all.

Cash is king, its not our TV companies choosing the time, its the FA ..they sell the rights all over the world and choose a time to get the largest worldwide audience.

We're not being dictated to, we're agreeing to a crap load of money to play when the FA tell us to, it's their competition after all....I know i'd rather be on TV at 4/6/8PM, than not be on the telly, as will the vast majority of Sheffield Wednesday fans who won't be going to the game.

Where is the "I suspect you are right" rating when it is needed ?

The holders Chelsea seem to have been revitalised after Dr Tottenham's recent house call.

It's such a shame that Millwall attract that special breed of ****s because the club has done so much good community work and most people will have really backed them when the council tried to take The Den away from them. And then suddenly all goodwill is completely eroded.

The one failure of the club in the last 30 years has been to not distance themselves more from the hooligan elements of the fan base the way most other clubs have done. Then again, they're probably afraid of losing too many fans if they do. It's difficult.

It really is unfortunate that Millwall wont draw Spammers at the OS ever. The footballing community needs that entertainment.

They might when the Spammers are relegated. Not sure when though as they look safe this season. It may not be in the cup but they get to face off at the OS though.
