So, good evening, Neil. How are you?
Not too bad, mate. Not too bad. Glad to step into the... to the breach for the one and only Omar.
Oh, he might be on in a bit. It may be, you know, but yeah, it's, it's good to have you. As you said, you know, we, we suffered our pain during lockdown. We, we done this, um, on the back of a, a stupid idea. What five years down the line. And yeah, we're, we're down there numerous, um,
Chapter 3: How did defensive errors contribute to Millwall's defeat?
numerous nominations and stuff we've never been there to win one but they've all been um with the big ones so yeah there is listen it's good we've been on on a few different ones i think sports social podcast of the year sports podcast of the year we've been nominated the football content awards we've been nominated so there's been a few and then yeah i was nominated when i was found on the board twice two years on the trot for the football liaison officer of the year
and didn't win but you know what it was um it was good it was a free night out of my missus free food free drink and i met some really good people uh and yeah it was good it was good i was there when barney won and um it was really funny that he was there when andy ambler was there and um and andy ambler still didn't talk to me andy ambler has never talked to me ever
He might just nod at me as if to say, yes, I know you are. But other than that, he's never spoken to me. Yeah, Halo.
Yeah, he's a man of taste, Mickey, isn't he?
Yeah, yeah, he's got good taste. Yeah, yeah, fuck me off, yeah. Right then, Neil, tonight we're going to go briefly into talking about the FA Cup game yesterday. Nothing too major. A little bit on the FA Cup. And then we will be going into really what the bigger picture is, the season context, where we are. The fact that, obviously, we've got some players back.
um have a chat about some of the stuff on um social with some of the anti-neil and whatnot because obviously it's stuff that we've been chatting about and also some of the way that social media nowadays um is just a massive overreaction and an interest an interesting um i've been speaking to a social media consultant and stuff and i didn't realize but it's really weird that allegedly every twitter post has an eight minute shelf life
does it?
Allegedly, yeah. So, which was quite interesting.
Yeah, well, I wish that was the case. I was winding up the knowledgables for most of yesterday afternoon with one or two of them.

Chapter 4: What are the positives Millwall can take from the Burnley game?
So, yeah, it's all good. It's all good. So, yeah, it's always good fun, isn't it, mate, having a bit of football banter and stuff. And I posted something earlier that isn't Millwall related, but it was something that just fucking amazed me. These Nigerian basketball players were on a video I saw, and then I saw a picture of one of them standing next to Shaq, and he towered over to Shaq.
It basically looked like Shaq was standing next to me. or standing next to someone taller than me. And I posted a picture and yeah, people are like, fuck, it's the first time I've seen Shaq stand like making Shaq look like a normal human being. This gauge is seven foot 11. Um, sure. Sullivan. No, he's fucking, he's tall, but he ain't that tall. But this, this gauge is massive.
Go on the Twitter and you'll see it, mate. So, um, yeah, it's fucking great, mate. So, yeah. Um, Right, we're going to crack on straight afterwards with the intro into the show with the pretense text. That is after we're going to play Johnny's intro. So we will see you in 55 seconds time.
Chapter 5: Why can't the FA Cup loss define Millwall's season?
Language you don't usually hear on television. Millwall in London's Dockland. We'll be right back.
Through the good times, when this life was supposed to lie It's all our life, this ain't no place for fantasy This is fucking Millwall, through and through Located on our very own Trumpet It's the way that I'm all pumped, let them out there say Millwall to restart With that Millwall podcast Loud every Friday night right here Good evening and welcome back to the number one Millwall podcast.
Hopefully you had a good weekend. Those of you who travelled yesterday, hopefully you had a safe journey back. So then they say the FA Cup is about magic. But yesterday at Turf Moor, it was a harsh reality check. We went toe to toe for about 30 minutes yesterday. And then the Premier League quality and our own mistakes punished us. We finished Burnley five, Millwall one.
But does that result deflect or define our season? Absolutely not. We're sitting fifth in the championship with a real shot to the promised land. Today, we stripped back that emotion, analysed exactly what went wrong against Scott Parker's Clarets and why Alex Neal's men are still firmly in the driver's seat for the playoffs.
This is a very honest and no-nonsense debrief, hence why I have brought in one of the top 10 sports presenters in the UK to join me tonight. Don't worry, Omar, who is number eight, will be here shortly. Yes.

Chapter 6: What is the current state of Millwall's Championship campaign?
Yeah, I'll get you about five more times for that one. That's it. That's it. So, is there any other awards you've been nominated for or not? You know, I quite fancy the rear of the year, but, you know.
Mate, I've never won rugby journalist of the year. Have you not? Because the people that organise it think I'm the Antichrist. And, no, never been nominated for the SJA Rugby Rights or the Year Award.
I think some of these awards, especially in the industry where I work in, within the plumbing and heating, I always thought those sort of awards are... I have to be careful, questionable, shall we say. If you do the right thing, you might get the top prize as such. But no, I think I get contacted regularly with a lot of these awards of, you know, nominate yourself and all that.
And it's like, I don't see what really I need an award to tell me that we're doing a good job. We get people come on the show, you know, make comments, stuff like that to me. That's happy enough. I don't really see that I need, unless it was something like, I don't know, someone in your peers or something, what voted you and it was a judge led vote.
But I think some of these are not, especially when you're, you're a little tiny podcast and you're going up against like massive people and stuff like on the FAA or the football content awards. And you've got like, you know, shows what probably got millions of viewers and it's a, it's one of those.

Chapter 7: How does Alex Neil's management style impact the team?
So yeah.
Followers you've got basically awards. If you have, if you're up against say Benjamin Bloom, who's got however many thousand followers and the second tier podcasts that have probably got equally in the thousands of listeners and uh
think a lot of these nowadays are run by a run by media companies do either two bob media companies or their proper media and a lot of it what you you sort of got to look at and go well actually a lot of these all they're doing is trying to promote their own brand so yeah basically want you to be sitting there going vote for me in here so that their google searches affect and everything else when
You know, at the end of the day, it's about what we do, not about promoting your brand when you're not paying me. I mean, the Football Content Award are the ones. They get you to nominate yourself, get you nominated, and then you end up trying to create all the votes. But they charge you like, I think it's like 200 quid a seat. So they don't give you free tickets to come in.
If you've got, like, you know, half a dozen pods on your podcast or something, that's like £200 a seat for a meal. And it's all over the place. I think last year it was Liverpool, it was Manchester. They try and do it all over the place. And then you've got hotels, everything. So, realistically, it's going to cost you 500 sovs just to go watch yourself get third place or fifth place or something.
Can you lie? I'm not over fussed. So, yeah. It is what it is.

Chapter 8: What are Millwall's needs in the January Transfer Window?
But, yeah, one day, mate, we'll be on TalkSport. Don't worry. This time next year. Let's debrief what happened yesterday. I mean, I would probably say let's not sugarcoat it. Let's not –
send me the award in the post no worries be lying it's not a problem there is there is an award on here we can do an award tonight with the way that they do comments on here now that there is a way of us checking and seeing who is the best commenter who's commented the most and the best commenter on our chat at the end so um yeah we can definitely do that that's not an issue at all um
let's have a chat. So let's not sugarcoat it. Burnley are a Premier League club, a bit struggling in 19th place. Um, and we saw why, uh, but their ruthlessness in the final third was the difference between us and them. Um, Burnley had five shots on target in the first hour and scored four of them. Um, this is the elite level difference between us and them. Um, uh,
I mean, the spell before halftime, you know, Neil said post-match, you know, we were competitive, creating decent openings. But as Alex Neil said post-match, you need to damage these teams when you have the chance. We didn't and they did. And that's pretty much it, Nick. We didn't take our chance. We had a few mistakes and it cost us before we knew we were down.
Yeah, definitely. I think that... Yeah, but let's be honest, he was never going to play a side that was going to go up there and win because we've just come off the back of a very long Christmas and New Year campaign.
Which we did really well with.
The points we got out of that was fantastic. Exactly. Yeah, exactly. So he had to rest players. He had to bring players in. And it was always going to be the case. Unfortunately, three mistakes from young Grant led to three goals. But at the end of the day, are we really bothered? No. The ultimate goal, as you said in the intro, is to get to the Premier League at the end of the season.
And we don't have the squad numbers and the squad capability to actually challenge on two fronts. No. Yeah, that was proved. So until we get a lot of our injured players back, we're really running on fumes. And we've been running on fumes since the start of December. But we're up there.
And the chances are, if we were to go and get Macclesfield at home in the next round, we'd get, what, 5,000, 6,000. It would cost us money. Then we've got another game to play. I think we've got Sheffield Wednesday away, is it? Yeah. On the plate in the next round. So then we'd have to play that midweek. Yeah. And then we'd have another game postponed. And it's just a distraction.
