Tasty league cup second round fixture for the Os

Oh sh*t .

Wellens in the den should be interesting

Horrible draw

Quite tempted, never seen Os at the Den.

I can remember going to the old den in the mid 70's for a League cup game. Other London teams were playing the same night and there were lots of fights on the underground, and a West Ham fan died

West Ham play Bournemouth at home on the Wednesday ?
Few West Ham fans already seeing it as a night out at the Den

Might do this actually. Work nearby and work with a big milwall fan. Never been either

Would you still go if your colleague was smaller?

Easy.

I said never again,
I may have to though

At least they won't be smashing up the East Stand.

Hate these kind of draws, guaranteed loss and no money made.

Let's 'ave it.

Always wanted to take the cowards tunnel from South Berm

Millwall fan died mid 70s, fell under a train name was Ian Pratt. West Ham fan was stabbed at Embankment station in 86, Terry... can't remember his surname

Moaning time..... yes , a bloody awful draw! We never seem to have much luck in cup draws.

Remember Jarvis

We can beat Millwall B team and progress to the third round

No one likes us (on the EFL cup draw committee) we don't care.

Although it's a winnable game if we select our strongest team

It's the 'new' den as far as I'm aware ?

nah, just smashing us up instead...awesome

Think i'll stick to Sky for this one, unless theres some full body armour knocking about

The 5-2 at their ground is one of my all time favourite away games. As long as it's on the Tuesday, all over this one, a derby is a derby.

I remember going to that game. Spent most of the match looking over my shoulder as the atmosphere inside the ground seemed decidedly dodgy. Then, on walking back to the station, realised it was all kicking off up ahead and just jumped on a bus going in the opposite direction. Had no real idea where we were going but were just happy to be going away from all the trouble.

Remember going 3-0 up in the first 10 minutes the other year.

They didn’t like that.
