    I've just read on my Google home page that the firm responsible for the cladding of the outside of the roof has gone bust. Given the unique nature of the cladding it might be a major problem for them.

    Are you in the construction business? They’re the only websites that have mentioned this so far!

    I watched this game (I lived in Turkey a long time ago and adopted Fener as my Turkish team due to the nickname - don't watch them much anymore but was at a loose end yesterday).

    There was a big flashpoint in the 98th minute resulting in a mini brawl amongst the players, but the game was pretty bad termpered all the way through and Trabzon fans were throwing stuff every time a Fener player was within range.

    Turkish football is crazy, especially the Fener Gala derby. This one was one of my favourites as bat**** games go - 3 sent off AFTER full time whistle and Jailson running for his life as the entire Galatasaray squad tried to batter him. Video of the chase is here: https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/7648121/roberto-soldado-galatasaray-fenerbahce-fight-video/ - Just needs the Benny Hill music.

    We have friends who used to live near Fenerbache’s ground, visited them twice, had hoped to see a game while we were there but both times their matches were being played without crowds due to previous trouble. We did go for a meal in the restaurant that the team apparently eat in after matches though so it wasn’t all bad.

    My mind has gone completely blank-what tune is the Sainz song-Paella, Estrella?

    (I’m not even going to mention how unlikely it is that someone from the Basque region would drink a beer that’s brewed in Barcelona).

    I know, that's why I put the word "always" in there - especially when considering Millwall's reputation, a gentle-paced song about longing such as Sailing seems a bit incongruous anyway!

    They may have been Neanderthal racist thugs but those 70s skinhead hooligans understood the power of irony 🤣

    Was going to type this, thought I'd check the thread before I did, and you beat me to it.

    Amusingly, in German they also have a direct translation of the phrase "great minds think alike", but as a counter, they also have a reverse version thrown back in conversation, so if you were to say "Grosse Geister denken gleich" ("great minds think alike" in German), you might get countered with "Zwei Dummen, ein Gedanke!" (Two idiots, one thought).

    Wonder if they have that in French?

    EDIT: Incidentally, when watching that match in Jena just before Christmas last year, they had a chant before the game started to the tune of "Sailing". That was always one of the odder songs to put a chant to, I thought.

    Millwall’s famous chant is to the tune of Sailing and they’ve been singing since the late 70s I think.

    If our fans really are going to take this on, lets hope we're more in tune than when Man City fans sing it....which is toe curlingly painful to listen to !

    Believe me, our version was awful yesterday, mentioned it on another thread. Worst thing was that they were singing the wrong notes-I know that not everyone can sing, but for everybody to be so out of tune is unbelievable 😳

    A few observations that I wasn't able to appreciate at the game:

    I didn't realise Gunny had made a save for their chance just before our first goal, thought the Stoke player had just hit the woodwork;

    A couple of people have said that Sainz's pass for the first goal was awful, but he had to put it that wide so that the Stoke defender couldn't intercept;

    I think it was a Stoke player who played the ball into Sara for his goal.

    It's been a while since I've seen us use our full backs with such attacking intent, if that means that we're caught out at the back sometimes I would prefer the risk and reward strategy.

    Not heard it for a while, the first few times it was sung people some people were moaning on here that it was embarrassing-can’t remember why, I think it might have been because it was perceived as a gay song.

    I’ve found the thread-it was back in 2015. Embarrassingly I have realised that I posted on it under another name-I wonder if anyone can work out which one? Classic @hogesar comment there too 🤣

    I loved the "winaway" chant yesterday. Not heard that before - genius.

    However, not chanting but I did see a lady get upset at a group who were bouncing, barging and pushing people around them. That was at qpr but I've seen similar before that. That behaviour was not good

    Oh come on.  I know the truth sometimes hurts, but don’t shoot the messenger.  And not all trees set out with the deliberate intention of inciting far-right hatred.  After all, when walking close to a weeping willow recently its newly formed leaves rustling in the breeze were definitely hissing “Tory scum”, or at least that’s how it sounded to me.  Incidentally, is Angela Rayner related to a weeping willow?

    I think that the Ents on Lord of the Rings hated Hitler. That’s if I’ve understood the allegory correctly.
