gio1saints Posted 31 October, 2023 Share Posted 31 October, 2023 (edited) Longest unbeaten run 19 matches, 5 September 1921 – 31 December 1921 NB Millwall away was match 7 of Saints record breaking 30 matches unbeaten run in the Championship during the 2023-24 season that culminated in their automatic promotion to the EPL. They won the EPL convincingly in 2024-25 by 8 points from dogged Manchester City, a triumph that included a remarkable comeback away win at the Etihad from 3-0 down at half time to win 3-7, and followed this up by beating Bayern Munich 4-0 in the 2025-26 Champions League Final. Saints are favourites to lift the 2025-26 World Club trophy taking place in Doha and star strikers Charlie Alcaraz and Kameldeen Sulemana are battling it out for the Ballon d’or. Eight time winner Lionel Messi has publicly acknowledged his vote for Charlie and he’s bookies favourite. Two times Manager of the year and likely big favourite World Manager of the Year, Russell Martin, is being courted by Real Madrid and Barca who are all keen to embrace his “ tippy tappy crab football “ and black polo neck sweaters in a bid to regain their place in world football. 😇😁 Edited 31 October, 2023 by gio1saints 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems half a lifetime ago that Bart played for Saints - for some supporters it probably is, literally, half a lifetime ago. Baz is of a different generation and I doubt he's aware of the Bialkowski connection to Saints. I'm wondering if BB has played against us since leaving - perhaps for Notts County in a Cup game? Always rated him a bit! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't, his 'front-footed' aggressive approach will, initially at least, pump up the locals and give them a lift. It's heading for a full house so will be feisty and with over 3,000 Saints there that will just pump it up a little bit more. It's billed as a 'Remembrance Fixture' that always goes down particularly well around Bermondsey (as it does for a lot of us) and can see little benefit to us if NJ rolls up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Fan CaM Posted 1 November, 2023 Share Posted 1 November, 2023 We’ll if the table is anything to go on, we’ll win comfortably. But look a little closer and you’ll see they’ve only lost one of the last 5 and drawn three. They’re a tough resilient team that doesn’t give up lightly despite their relative lack of skill. Add in Saints fragile nature and I can see a draw or loss being served up. After all, that’s the Saintsy thing to do. 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

east-stand-nic Posted 2 November, 2023 Share Posted 2 November, 2023 Millwall have a pretty poor home record so far this season as below. Millwall 7 2 1 4 7 11 -4 7 I hope they do not get some kind of new manager bounce this weekend as really, we should be winning this game. That said, in a way it might be good for us if they appoint Nathan Jones in the next 24 hours as i believe he is the type of guy who will go out to prove a point and have every one wound up too much, which in turn will mess them up and see a red card etc. I don't believe this myth about Millwall being a tough place to go. I went there a few times in the 80's and never felt their home support was all that. Come out hot from the blocks and get an early goal and we will have the crowd on their backs. Things seem to be coming together a little for RM, so I have a feeling we will win this one something like 0-1 or 1-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Palace we’ve done Southern trains to Croydon, usually works out cheaper than going to Waterloo, never done it for Millwall before but I guess could be another option Saturday. It will be dark by the time everyone’s out of the ground so probably best sticking to more familiar routes in the circumstances! If it’s replacement buses then a large chunk of the 3,000 Saints and thousands more home fans (looks like a full house) will be in hefty queues trying to get away. Best behaviour everyone.

I was in the Nathan Jones in camp from the outset, like I am for every manager who is appointed to the club. The club has people to make them decisions and are more qualified than some plebs on a fan forum so they get my support. I like other fans are allowed to change our minds if performances get worse and his comments to the media also didnt help matters with the fans. Is the alternative to be like you and criticise every appointment we make, and when results dont go our way (like they do for every manager) you can shout loudest about how you were right.
