Chat, Gossip & Bullsh*t Thread - EPL Match Prediction Tourney

I know, Zos ,

I was keeping a keen eye on the game yesterday. And although the differences between Millwall and Chelsea are brutal, I had hoped Millwall would make the play-offs. 

I noticed a post in the listening thread about 'The Only Living Boy In New Cross'. I believe you posted it. I remember some years ago going out with the gang to an Elvis competition. One of the gang fancied himself as an Elvis impersonator, and indeed is doing very well for himself to this day, but on the night the usual thing happened and drunken friendly-fire happened and I found myself walking at 1am from the Elephant, via a subway tunnel, and then walking nine sheets to the wind for an hour south into New Cross, or somewhere near it. How I made it home home I'll never know. And that's why I regard that song so fondly. Any other night I might have been coshed by some locals, but I was fortunate and made it to a cab office. I'm going back years. And I haven't been back there since, but the prospect of playing Millwall next season was, I own, an exciting prospect.

There's a scene in Football Factory which sums up in a couple of minutes, albeit scripted, what many of us feel all our days, something intrinsic, insulated, ready to burst out and run amok once released. 

Billy Bright's reaction upon hearing the TV FA Cup draw that his beloved Chelsea would meet Millwall - at Millwall...



And a shout out for that song too... Something was looking over me that night.
