Hello and welcome to the Guardian Football Weekly. It's an EFL special. Millwall, West Hampshire. The points, a great opportunity to say the word febrile scenes in the Hammers End when Mavra Panos got it back to 2-2. The point keeps them in the top two. Swansea top after we're at Lincoln. They're playing some nice stuff. Are they good enough to mount a promotion challenge? Middles will rescue a point at Birmingham while Wolves beat West Brom. Southampton's recent decent run is ended at Wrexham, who tries some hilarious spygate material before and after. Burnley at bottom, what's going on? On there. In League One, Bradford lead the way, just three points clear of fifth place high flying Cambridge, while Barnett atop of League Two.
We'll see if any England players haven't pulled out the squad before the Odyssey International Break begins. Your questions, and that's today's Guardian Football Weekly. On the panel today, Barry Glen Denning, welcome. Hi Max. Hello Sani Rudra Vajula. Hello, Max. And from not the top twenty. George Aleck, all right, George. Hello, Max. Yeah, all good. We'll start with the championship then. Swansea top seventeen points from eight games. Uh West Ham, Middlesbrough both have fifteen from eight, Wolves fourteen from seven, uh West Brom fourteen from eight, QPR thirteen from eight. Uh and we have to start the new den. Millwall to West Ham two. Uh George, you were there. Uh how was it?
Yeah, should should clarify that I was there very much for work reasons, not one of these vloggers coming in and um as a as a football tourist because I know that tickets were hard to come by for Millwall fans. Uh we're making a film about the about the rivalry, um, because we share a sponsor with Millwall. So we were there very much in a kind of work capacity. But it was yeah, it was amazing. It was actually genuine genuinely one of the most enjoyable and thrilling live sporting events I think I've ever been to. Um and for all the right reasons as well. Obviously the the notoriety of the game. precedes it, there was a lot of stuff before about, you know, the the police presence and other things. I think the reality is that the den is is quite easy to police because there is already a a very kind of set way that that away fans travel to the away end.
I think the game at the London Stadium might be more difficult for the police to sort out given um the issues there in the past and the way that that that that stadium is set up. But in terms of the actual atmosphere And the game itself, it was it was unbelievable. Um the the ten, fifteen minutes before kickoff was as loud a stadium as I can remember being in. Um the renditions of London Calling and the various kind of Millwall songs that we know all about were incredible. The sound when the teams came out and at kickoff, Jensen Metcalf, the Millwall centre fielder basically going through Jared Bowen after 15 seconds and setting the the tone for the game was was amazing. The performance for Millwood in that.
Like I you know, I I don't think any Millwall fan could have possibly envisaged the dominance that they would show over West Ham in that first half. I don't think any West Ham fan could have possibly thought it could have gone as badly for them. Like Millwall were sensational in the first half. The fact that both goals going, you know, one nil and two nil up through Caleb Taylor and Camel Negley both came from Linden Dyke's long throws just seems absolutely perfect. Like your six foot four cent uh centre forward launching it into the box to be prodded and uh prodded home. by a centre back in the first case after Hanson made a couple of very good saves. Mark Sykes nearly scored one of the best goals I've ever seen live, a kind of a ball rolling across him that had that it it was, you know, it rolled, but it had that just enough bobble on it to enable him to hit it in the way that he did.
Doesn't it? And cannon off the crossbar, we had an amazing view of it. And then the second half, where West Ham came back into the game inevitably as we thought they would, seeing them score twice being at the other end of the stadium, but the
