Achtung! Millwall Podcast

Rather in the style of the Arkansas chuggerbug from the Wacky Races, Millwall FC chose a fine time for the wheels to come off the season with the finishing line in sight. This week's Dick Dastardley being manager Neil Harris with a woeful (in hindsight) selection of Jordan Archer for Tom King in goal. The game was effectively over inside 10 minutes thanks to Archer flapping at two decent Oxford sh...

An extended show this week, covering the drama both on and off the pitch at The Den from Good Friday. The thoughts of everyone connected with Millwall, fans, players and staff are with Antony Murphy the Millwall fan struck by what we believe was a heart attack during the course of the second half of the home match versus Northampton. There are two appeals currently online:The Antony Murphy appeal...

Finally, the post Spurs monkey is lifted off of our collective backs with this fine 3-1 victory over play off rivals Scunny. A beautiful sunny day in South Bermondsey saw the Lions exploit an early penalty for an eventual three goal lead - before late late sloppiness allowed Scunthorpe a fig-leaf of respectability as they made their way back up the A1 homewards. Can the Lions pin back the three po...

Sometimes you have to grind out the results and yesterday's late winner was just that - to say the least. Am injury time penalty scored by leading striker Lee Gregory being enough to settle a game in which the Lions lost their prized goal-less record. Never mind, three valuable points put us with clear water in the top six and the diversion of the FA Cup quarter-final at White Hart Lane next week...

One show, two reports, seven days and 180 minutes of football - but not a goal in amongst any of it (sadly).Yesterday's deluge on the outskirts of Manchester was never going to lead to a festival of beautiful football, indeed we were lucky to get the game itself completed given the muddy state of the pitch. Who though could have foreseen the dramatic two missed penalty finish by the normally relia...

Over 18,000 were witness to a truly historic day at Zampa Road yesterday as the reigning Premier League champions were overcome by a 10 man Millwall side demonstrating the grit, resilience and never say die blood that runs through our club's veins. A wonderful, wonderful team performance that can stand alongside any of the great days of our club. Today's episode includes in-game comment with the A...

The story of a flat tyre. Yes dear listeners fate intervened to prevent me making yesterday's excellent home win over the Shrimpers, forcing me instead to follow proceedings from the waiting room of Kwik Fit tyres. A poor substitute for what was described to me in one message as 'an attritional lower league battle - lovely'. Thankfully this week's special guest Omer Ronayne was able to get to the...

Episode 112 concentrates on the sad state of modern football. Incredible money sloshes around at the top for spectacularly average Premier League players. Whilst one of the fine names of English football in Coventry City finds itself a stranger in its own home and staring League Two full in the face. All the usual in-game stream of consciousness with special guest Steve Sanders, post the week in r...

Show number 111, a score also also known in cricket as 'Nelson'.Well the talents of the great admiral would be very handy indeed as we enter a critical week in the battle against our local authority opponents at Lewisham Council. Tune into this week's show to hear the very latest on the scandal that is unfolding within the town hall from the AMS's Micky Simpson. The football seems almost incidenta...

Rather a drab contrast with the blood and thunder of the reverse fixture at The Den a few weeks ago, yesterday's 0-0 draw at The Valley was on balance a fair result overall. Neither team showed much quality and although the Lions had the better chances, the Addicks could point to a poor refereeing decision that disallowed a goal from a Jordan Archer error. Terrible refereeing being something fans...

Millwall wouldn't be Millwall if we didn't combine one of the finest performances and results in years - against a Premier League side fielding £44m worth of talent - at the same time that the local council seem set on ensuring we have to leave our home forever. Drama? We love it. This week's episode features match comment from Millwall's masterclass in ruthlessness over the wishy-washy Cherries a...

So then dear listener it's an excellent nine points out of a potential nine over the Christmas 2016 period! You can't ask for more than than that and the Lions approach tomorrow's away derby at AFC Wimbledon in fine fettle. This HNY special includes comment on the Boxing Day 2-0 win over Swindon, followed by yesterday's hard-fought 2-1 victory over the Gills. In game comment from Micky AMS, plus p...

Millwall 3-1 Charlton Athletic 21.12.16 Welcome to the pleasuredome of a rip roaring night at The Den dear listeners, one in which the Lions maintained football's most one-sided rivalry with a fine 3-1 win over the Valiants. This special midweek edition, includes full blooded in-match comment by Micky AMS plus yours truly. All followed by post match analysis and opinion on the Charlton situation w...

There is such a thing as the 'Scunthorpe Problem'. This is where email security measures pick up obscene or profane words mixed into perfectly normal everyday words or place names. Can you spot the offending four letter term dear listener? Millwall suffered their own version of the Scunny issue yesterday when three errors conceded a game that they were in with a chance of competing in. If it wasn'...

Despite throwing everything including the kitchen sink and the Encyclopaedia Brittanica at the Shrews yesterday, the Lions contrived to pull off a one goal loss to the bottom of the table side. Typical. Yet again the central defence were embarrassed by a straight forward chance presented gift wrapped, on a silver platter with a nice bow attached. Hand-written card: to Shrewsbury, you need this mor...

A special edition in which Micky AMS and yours truly discuss what we know, what we don't know, what we know we don't know and what we don't know what we don't know about Renewal's mysterious ownership structure. Sorry, I came over all Rumsfeld there. (We don't think it's him who owns it by the way).Nick CBLthemag@hotmail.co.uk Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more...

The magic of the FA Cup? Well just about for the Lions as they creak past Braintree's 'Irons' and into the Third Round draw. Comedy defending, strong attacking and iffy midfielding (on both sides) came together in a maelstrom of entertaining incompetence. There's a new football philosophy for you. Who will Millwall draw in the next round? You know which clubs the support will be praying for, don't...

Roll up! Roll up! Roll up to the Millwall roller-coaster ride! Well what a week dear listeners, from the desert plains of Tuesday night's Kalahari to the sunlit uplands of Bury (last 20 minute section only) yesterday, you can never say that life with our beloved Lions lacks variety...This weeks' superduper supersize me edition features fantastic work by Omer Ronayne covering events at Gigg Lane, p...

After last week's optimism overload in the four-goal win over Bristol, comes the crashdown at the bland Macron Stadium in Bolton. In truth the Lions were never in this game and a more insipid performance is hard to remember this side of Gary Taylor-Fletcher. A decisive two goal defeat, further injuries to our front line with Lee Gregory limping off and a hard 'welcome to the third division' for la...

Show number 100!Who would have ever thought it? But yes here we are 100 editions into the number one Millwall podcast - and a fantastic four goal win over the Pirates to celebrate. Not only that, but yesterday's fine victory saw the arrival of the next in the line of real Millwall talent in 19 year old Harry Smith. Mark that name, we think you're going to be hearing more of it in future ...Post ga...

As the Duke of Wellington once said about Waterloo, 'it was a close run thing, damn close ...' so it was with Millwall's progression to the second round of the 2016-17 FA Cup last Friday night. A finely balanced third division match, eventually tipping the Lions' way thanks to a late strike by Mahlon Romeo worthy of a far higher level. Listeners, this week's show also includes an excellent report...

An excellent win at the Kassam Stadium for the Lions, often under pressure from a decent footballing side, sees Millwall climb the table away from the dread drop zone and looking instead at the sunlit uplands of the top six. Don't get too carried away though as we are still defending like St Boniface School for Young Ladies' butterfly collecting team, please see the opening goal for Oxford by way...

In the end it doesn't matter how the wins come, so long as they do come. And it was in that spirit of realism that Harry Warren and I consider yesterday's 2-1 victory over Lindsay Buckingham, Stevie Nicks and Mick Fleetwood (Town).Two penalties scored by Lee Gregory settled the issue, with just enough fingernail biting toward the end to make us all go our own way from The Den suitably frazzled. On...

Bury my losing streak at Sixfields Retail Park. The Lions finally put their bad run of form to rest with a well worked win over the Cobblers aided and abetted by the referee. Three vital points for manager Neil Harris as he looks to keep Millwall away from the bottom four and retain his job in the process. This week's cud is chewed with Lord Kitchener at half time and post match with Northampton f...

Another podcast about Millwall conceding early goals, Tony Craig's relationship with Jordan Archer and Byron Webster PLUS yet more droning about Neil Harris's selections and tactics. Same as the last six shows largely. You might want to reconsider your podcast choices to be fair as even we think we're getting a little ... SAMEY.This week's inmate sorry star guest, Omer Ronanyne...NickCBLthemag@hot...
