Chapter 956 Millwall
January 25th, the fourth round of the FA Cup.
In this game, Aston Villa's opponent is a Championship team. The game itself does not have much highlights, and the media generally believe that Aston Villa is highly likely to advance.
The media and the melon-eating crowd focus on Aston Villa's opponent in this game, Millwall's radical fan group.
English football hooligans are world-famous, while Millwall football hooligans are famous all over the UK.
Especially their most radical (rogue) fan organization Bushwacker.
"We West Ham plays soccer, but everyone knows that football hooligans are first-class."
"Arsenal, he played well, fighting a gang of trash, a bunch of waste."
"Spurs, it's not OK to play football and fight, a group of "Jews".
"Milwall? What does Millwall of TM say?" Peter cursed and thought of a metaphor, "It is a feud to us, and it is almost the relationship between Israel and Palestine."
This is what Peter, an extreme West Ham United fan, said in the 2005 movie "Football Hooligan".
Millwall's football hooligan appears in the film as a big villain, and the fans from both sides staged a story about the British football version of the young and dandy.
In reality, the struggle between West Ham United and Millwall fans is not inferior to the film at all, and it is the hottest derby in the UK, no doubt about it.
In a League Cup match in 2009, fans of West Ham and Millwall fought outside Upton Park, with wine bottles, bricks, and even hammers used as weapons.
During the game, fans rushed into the court many times to stop the game. After the end of the game, a large number of fans rushed into the court to start the battle. In the end, many fans on both sides were injured. Finally, the riot was quelled with the dispersion of the riot police.
In fact, whenever there is a match between West Ham and Millwall, London police will send all police forces to maintain order, and the martial law state is no less than an anti-terrorism exercise.
One data can tell everything. In the century-old history of fierce fighting between fans on both sides, the well-documented fans were beaten and stabbed to death in the fight. Even fans started fighting when they encountered each other on the train. The number of fans who were killed by the fans was as many as four.
...
If it were just a grudge with his arch-rival West Ham United, Millwall's reputation would never have spread throughout Britain and became one of the most hated teams in the country.
They beat opponent fans.
There was even a premeditated rush into the court and attacking the referee and lineman in the law enforcement game.
Millwall's extreme fans not only beat the opponent's fans and players, but also beat the referee, but even their own fans are not spared.
Millwall's football hooligan once suddenly attacked his team's supporters, causing dozens of innocent fans to be injured.
Ten years ago, hundreds of Millwall's football hooligans were rushing into the field after Millwall lost to Birmingham City in the upgrade play-off.
Among them, 47 policemen and 24 police horses were injured, and BBC called Millwall football hooligan a shame to England.
Some of the behaviors of Millwall fans even broke through the moral bottom line.

In October 2004, in the League Cup home game against Liverpool, Millwall fans mocked Liverpool fans with songs and mocked the Hillsborough tragedy in 1989.
Liverpool fans were red at the time. They were in a reverse scale and could not bear it.
It then escalated into a violent conflict between the fans of the two teams.
In the game against Millwall, Millwall fans often verbally attack the opponents without grudges, throw miscellaneous items, and even rush into the field to beat security personnel or even referees.
That's it. No matter who the opponent is, Millwall's radical fans have offended all teams, big and small, in the British football world.
In the eyes of many people, the name of the club Millwall has even become "synonym for all bad things in football and society", and Bushwacker has also become the most notorious football hooligan organization in the UK.
The police arrested again and again, the club was punished again and again, and the club chairman even threatened to disband the team many times, but none of them could stop these extreme fans from causing trouble again.
Millwall's radical fans are either fighting with each other's fans or moving forward on the way to fighting with each other...
There are even conspiracy theories that Millwall has been in the Championship for a long time because the Premier League bigwigs and even the FA do not want Millwall to be promoted to the Premier League and affect harmony.
...
When visiting London, Aston Villa Club issued a special safety warning, reminding Aston Villa fans not to act alone and not to have disputes with Millwall fans.
For safety reasons, the club even discouraged fans from setting off for London away games this time.
Aston Villa's behavior was regarded as weak by Millwall radical fans.
Millwall's radical football fans came to Aston Villa Fan Forum to leave a message:
A bastard who has no breeding, don’t dare to come!
This kind of barely provoked Aston Villa fans, and some Aston Villa fans who were not planning to go away also screamed and said they wanted to teach the Millwalls a lesson.
Fang Jue was also very impressed.
He could not understand this provocation by Millwall's radical fans.
Aston Villa Club can only contact the fans repeatedly and remind them to be careful.
Not only fans should pay attention to safety, Fang Jue also issued an order to the players, not allowing players to act privately during this visit to London, and the whole team must act uniformly.
...
January 25.
Aston Villa set out from the hotel where he stayed and prepared to head to Neal Stadium in Millwall.
Several pickup trucks drove past Aston Villa's bus. Someone poked his head out of the rear window of the pickup truck and screamed and raised his middle finger at Aston Villa's bus.
"It's Bushwacker's guy!" Warner said.
The pickup truck has the Bushwacker logo on the rear.
At this moment, the bus suddenly braked suddenly, and there was a panic inside the car.
"The tire device was put on the road ahead." The bus driver said with a pale face, pointing to the road more than ten meters away in front of him.
If he hadn't been focused and if he had just been directly over, there would have been a major accident.
"Damn!"
Fang Jue was angry. He had every reason to suspect that this was done by Millwall's Bushwacker fans. Do these bastards know what this behavior is?
Want to murder?
Other passing vehicles around also noticed the situation ahead, and they braked suddenly to avoid it. Two cars even rear-end.
Fang Jue stopped the players from getting off the car and arranged for two staff members to move the tire breaker away.
Then, he saw the staff coming back with a "titer breaker" in one hand.
“Fake, it’s inflatable.”
Fang Jue took the "fat breaker" and it was indeed fake. He was placed on the road full of air, which was very similar to the real, enough to make the fake a real thing.
"These bastards are quite rational," said Sebalos.
Fang Jue had a gloomy face. He did not agree with Sebalus's words. Even if it was fake, it would be very dangerous to put this thing on the road.
"Call the police," Warner said.
"Take photos, take videos, keep evidence." Fang Jue said.
“We have a dashcam.”
"Very good. Also, contact the reporter and interview the owner of the rear-end car."
"Okay, boss."
...
The bus continued to move forward, leaving a staff member to wait for the police to arrive on the roadside with the fake "titer breaker".
The players were also furious by this incident and were talking in the bus, guessing who did it.
Although there is no direct evidence, everyone knows who did it and angrily denounces the abominableness of these football hooligans.
When Aston Villa's bus arrived at Neal Stadium, it was "warmly welcomed" by Millwall fans outside.
There were home team fans holding various cartoons of insulting Aston Villa club and players there howls.
"I only have one requirement for this game today." Before the game, Fang Jue said in the visiting team locker room at Neal Stadium, "Don't be injured."
Fang Jue’s worries are not unreasonable.
Not only Millwall's radical fans have caused headaches for many English teams, but Millwall's team itself has a very rough style.
The situation after the start of the game also confirmed Fang Jue's concerns.
Millwall performed very hard, their players were very active, and there was even reason to suspect that it was intentional injury.
Fortunately, Oscar, the referee of the law enforcement game today, obviously knows Millwall's style very well, and his law enforcement standards are very strict.
Less than half an hour after the game started, five players on Millwall received yellow cards.
This curbs the opponent's rough foul to a certain extent.
Aston Villa near the end of the first half, Shinji Kagawa assisted Vardy to score a goal, breaking the deadlock on the court.
...
The Aston Villa player did not celebrate after the goal.
This is what Fang Jue asked. He tried his best to avoid players from irritating Millwall fans. It was not a coward, but for safety reasons.
Even so, seeing Aston Villa scored, the home team's stands were still blown up.
Some fans threw water bottles into the field and almost hit Aston Villa goalkeeper Ter Stegen.
Aston Villa captain Clement picked up the water bottle, found the referee Oscar on duty, and complained seriously.
There were two minutes of injury time in the first half, but as soon as the 45-minute game time arrived, the referee blew the whistle to the end of the half.
Aston Villa players quickly exited amid the booing and verbs of home fans.
Thornton, who walked a little slower, was almost hit by the coins thrown by the stands.
Fang Jue's expression was gloomy. He picked up the coin and handed it directly to the fourth official. He left without saying anything.
"It's really notorious." Birmingham reporters said in an atmosphere in the media seat.
Even the London journalists were silent and did not defend Millwall.
Not to mention Aston Villa, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are only treated even more severely.
If West Ham United is a guest here, it would be a miracle not to fight.
This is a team that is disgusted by almost every other team in England.
...
In the second half, veteran Inzagi, who came on as a substitute, scored a goal, helping Aston Villa expand the score to 2-0.
This makes the atmosphere on the court even more tense.
Although security personnel separated the home team Millwall fans from the away team Aston Villa fans.
However, Millwall fans threw debris at Aston Villa fans through security personnel, causing a stir.
In the final stage of the second half, Millwall forward John Marchis scored a goal for the home team.
Millwall fans were excited again and launched a second attack on Aston Villa fans.
There was a mess in the stands.
"It's really weird." Chinese reporters in the media sighed that when they were scored, their fans made trouble. If they scored goals, they still had to make trouble.
In the final stage of the game, Millwall midfielder Henry was sent off for a red card for a flying tackle Milner.
There were also small-scale conflicts between the players on the court.
In the end, Aston Villa defeated Millwall 2-1 in the away game.
Fang Jue's greatest pleasure was that no players were injured.
In this game, the referee Oscar presented a total of twelve yellow cards and one red card. The home team Millwall won eight yellow cards, and Aston Villa had four yellow cards.
...
At the post-match press conference, Fang Jue angrily criticized the poor away environment.
He showed the reporters on the scene a photo of Aston Villa having an almost accident on his way to Neal Stadium.
"If I weren't still awake, I knew that this was playing in London." Fang Jue sneered, "I almost thought we were fighting in the Middle East."
The reporters at the scene didn't know that such a thing happened on Aston Villa's way to the stadium.
When they heard about this, they were so excited.
Except for Birmingham and Chinese media reporters, other reporters do not care about the safety of Aston Villa's entire team. They are just excited that something has happened, 'Milwall fans attacking Aston Villa', ah, what a good material.
Millwall Chairman Papitis then called Fang Jue to apologize and regret for the matter.
Fang Jue responded to the other party's words and hung up the phone.
This Papitis is not a good bird either. He is full of mouth and acts erratic.
Aston Villa's entire team did not spend the night in London, and quickly left London after the game and returned to Birmingham.
"Okay, guys, go home and have a rest. There will be half a day off tomorrow morning." Fang Jue announced.
The players cheered and dispersed.
...
Fang Jue returned to his office and just wanted to have a cup of coffee to take a break when the office door was knocked open.
He is the club's general manager Byron.
"Boss, something happened." Byron's expression was serious.
Aston Villa defeated Millwall 2-1 away, and Aston Villa's fans were very excited.
A group of Aston Villa fans celebrated at the bar and were attacked by members of Bushwacker, a radical fan group in Millwall.
There was a fight and conflict between the two sides.
An Aston Villa fan was stabbed by the opponent with a sharp weapon during the chaos and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.
"How is the person?" Fang Jue asked immediately.
"It's still being rescued." Byron's expression was heavy.
"Bastard!" Fang Jue cursed.
"The fan who was stabbed is called Ellen Donald, who is the father of three children." Byron introduced the situation.
"Is it him?" A fat fan appeared in Fang Jue's mind. Ellen Donald is a die-hard Aston Villa fan.
The reason why Fang Jue knew about this person was because the Birmingham Evening News once reported an interesting story.
Donald was very dissatisfied with Fang Jue's involvement in Aston Villa at first. This fat man was Karu's fan. He was dissatisfied with Fang Jue's cleaning up Karue, and even vowed not to watch Aston Villa's game again.
Later, Aston Villa under Fang Jue's rule rose rapidly, and Donald quickly fell into Fang Jue's "embrace". The fat man became Fang Jue's hardcore supporter, and even tattooed a giant panda on his arm, saying that he liked the Chinese boss.
Later, at a Christmas party at Aston Villa, the club invited a group of fan representatives, including Donald, and Fang Jue took photos with the fat man and his three children.
"Arranging the helicopter, I'm going to London." Fang Jue picked up the microphone and said.
