Visiting Millwall


We went to London today. I did not realise that we were going to where Millwall play their home games. If I had, I would not have worn my classic Arsenal top, my Arsenal hoodie and my Arsenal backpack. 

But before I discuss that, the kids. My son went to his first party in years. He was meant to come back for ten, but he rang us asking if he could stay for a sleepover. We agreed and come the morning he was very grateful, for again, this was something which has not happened in years either. My daughter also went to a party, which was a memorable one for her.

Anyway, back to today. For those who are not aware, Millwall are a team whose fans are hated throughout the league. They have a deserved reputation for violence and racism and being around their ground in the colours of a rival was not the best thing. But the day was enjoyable. I stayed out of sight of the fans as they left their ground in the wet after losing to Leeds.  We had travelled to London with friends who drove us, for good food, and we had this as well as their excellent company. It was a great day and we are trying to work out when our next day is to be. 

I got to watch the first half of the Arsenal game, but missed the goal. I will be watching highlights later tonight. It was great to win, especially as we have not done too well before against Everton in recent games.
