Saint Billy Posted 26 July, 2009 Share Posted 26 July, 2009 With so many changes with sfc, do you think it marks the end to the dreaded Sky Curse? Correct me if I am wrong but isn't the Millwall games on sky? if it is, perhaps it would be worth AP taking note of this http://www.ehow.com/how_5134364_remove-curse.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildgoose Posted 26 July, 2009 Share Posted 26 July, 2009 We will break the 'curse' sooner rather than later. Let's face it, Sky would have been hard pressed to catch us on a good day last season! A better team will change that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Chalet Posted 26 July, 2009 Share Posted 26 July, 2009 There is no Sky curse, we just lost a lot of games in last 5 years! I seem to recall Sky being a blessing to our perfomances in the 90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't the Millwall games on sky? if it is, perhaps it would be worth AP taking note of this http://www.ehow.com/how_5134364_remove-curse.html The Sky curse is very recent when compared to the opening day curse which has been running since 1989. Despite most of our opening games being at home since then (I think there have been 3 away) in that period, we have had a solitary opening day win (at Coventry in 1999) to celebrate. Lets hope our new-found optimism will lead to us getting to -7 points before the rest of the league even kicks off their season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamster Posted 26 July, 2009 Share Posted 26 July, 2009 Sky curse my armpit! This is Millwall we are playing, they will roll over and die. In my house we are only -7 already. btw I have a family of 4 Millwall knucklehead relations staying at mine especially for it. I am so looking forward to this match.

revolution saint Posted 26 July, 2009 Share Posted 26 July, 2009 Last 1st day win was away to Coventry in the 99/00 season. Austin's Dad scored didn't he? Sky curse is nonsense - we lost too many games whether we were on Sky or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eurosaint Posted 26 July, 2009 Share Posted 26 July, 2009 Forget the 'Sky' curse and the 'opening day' curse ! My son is coming over from Belgium and he normally brings his own curse (hasn't seen them win for about 3 years!). If we lose I will be cursing as usual, but that's a slightly different type of curse ............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ART Posted 26 July, 2009 Share Posted 26 July, 2009 Still plenty of time for someone to nip down to one of the local convents, do a little bit of plumbing and collect all the virgin wee they can. Then ensure before the big day someone gets into the ground and sprinkles it all over the pitch, the corner and goal posts. Don't forget to save some to sprinkle the satellite receiver and contract with Sky. Should do the trick. Only trouble is. Do the convents still maintain the virginity regulation or do we have to search farther afield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I remember that - last minute winner by Millwall wasn't it? As for the Sky "curse", I agree it used to a bit a of a myth in the past. But if you check our TV record last season I think it was something like played 8, lost 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so and we won opening day 1999, then 2009 is looking hopeful As mentioned above, we lost on opening day 1989 which was the day the curse began. The Coventry win in 1999 came after 8 consecutive opening day home games. Since then, 6 of the 9 opening day games have also been at home. Our overall record in the last 20 opening days is : Home - 0 wins, 6 draws, 9 defeats Away - 1 win, 3 draws, 1 defeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 28 July, 2009 Share Posted 28 July, 2009 This Sky curse thing is cobblers. I'm pretty sure our record on Sky has a strong correlation to our record in all competitions when not on Sky. Also, when is this curse supposed to have started ? Shall we start with Fratton and Killer's injury ? That would helpfully only include us being a bit rubbish for the last 5-6 years to begin with. And we can have the argument about "beating" Derby in the second leg of the PlayOffs again too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
