This week's elephant in the room 13:56 - Sep 22 with 4088 views | LongsufferingR | Millwall - very white aren't they? Just a thought that occurred to me while enjoying myself yesterday. Is this because they don't want to upset their "fan"base or because black players don't want to go there. Add Burnley to that as well. | | | | |
This week's elephant in the room on 14:09 - Sep 22 with 4011 views | DannyPaddox | I noticed this when they came to our place last season. All white and over 6ft 2 they looked more like the Serbian National Basketball squad. Could be just a coincidence of course but it stood out to me as being odd. I did point it out to a mate who said no there is one black player - the goalkeeper. This didn’t make me feel any more reassured. Of course it could be that they haven’t come across any decent black players. For instance if they’d had let’s say a player of Eberichi Eze’s calibre on their books then maybe ... sorry what’s that you say? | | | |

" they looked more like the Serbian National Basketball squad." I'm beginning to see what's gone wrong with their transfer policy. | | | |

"Of course it could be that they haven’t come across any decent black players.

Next week we get to play WBA, avery different team altogether | | | |

This week's elephant in the room on 16:54 - Sep 22 with 3551 views | hopphoops | I'm sure there's nothing in it but I did notice that they're basically ten Big Matt Smith clones. It's all a bit Stepford wivesy. | |

This week's elephant in the room on 11:57 - Sep 23 with 2896 views | Ned_Kennedys | They've got two black players in their first team squad plus another half a dozen in their U23 squad so I wouldn't read anything too deep into Saturday's team selection. | | | |

This week's elephant in the room on 12:52 - Sep 23 with 2725 views | peejaybee | In season 1956/57 we signed Tesi Balogun a Nigerian from Non- League Skegness and he scored on his debut against Watford. Prior to that season I think we were all white. | |

I remember Tesi Balogun. In those days, that was very unusual. | | | |

Tesi Balogun has a stadium in Nigeria named after him. Good to hear that Millwall have some black players in their squad. Would be very odd if a London team in the 21st Century didn’t. Weird that some people think it weird to make the observation. Though I guess they would think it weird that I think it’s weird that they think it’s weird. And down-voting. Very touchy. Weird. | | | |

Whether or not their all white team is significant, The New Den remains the last ground I visited where a fan can openly make a monkey gesture while standing next to a steward and get away with it. Vile people. Hate them only next to the other racist scum from SW6. | | | |
