You clearly don't read don't you?

Compared to what they used to be, yes (Millwall fan's).

And you clearly don't know what you're talking about when suggesting anyone should go to a West Ham - Millwall game. To say that there's a bit of a hostile and violent atmosphere is making a very large understatement.

Having been at a playoff semi-final which involved Millwall (not too many years ago), they were getting buried so invaded the pitch on three separate occasions. After the second, when some of their 'supporters' attacked Derby's black players, Derby's manager had to substitute them for their own safety. Realising that the referee was not going to abandon the game, the Millwall scum then left the ground and systematically smashed the area, setting fire to the Radio Derby car, destroying or overturning any others which they could identify as being from Derby.

Some Millwall supporters are disgusting, thuggish, racist scum, always were, always will be. There's not as many as there were, sure, but the only thing that's changed with the ones that remain is that they are just older than they were - still scum, awaiting their chance to float to the top.

And the manager isn't much better (without the racism though).

Wise was being a thug during the FA Cup final as well. People probably didn't mind that as it was against Man Utd but he was acting like a goon.

Added to the fact that there's such intense hatred for West Ham, I really think our leader would be better off trying catch West Ham against some other opposition!
