Millwall 3-0 Norwich City: Lions cruise past 10-man Canaries

By Total Football News

There were emotional scenes pre-match as Millwall remembered former manager Kenny Jackett, who died in June, with a minute’s applause before kick-off.

The Lions started strongest – and never really looked back after Arconte opened the scoring. Indeed, their lead should have been greater at the break but for Cordoba hacking Kyrell Lisbie’s effort off the line just before half-time.

Millwall’s attacking adventurousness was on full display despite the absence

Bristol City 0-2 Millwall: Josh Coburn double gets Lions’ season off to great start

Millwall impressed in an action-packed opening few minutes as Camiel Neghli fired just wide while Casper de Norre’s flicked header from a corner landed on the top of the bar.

The visitors were left frustrated when Coburn felt he was brought down by goalkeeper Sam Tickle after breaking into the City box, only to be booked for a dive.

Millwall’s frustrations grew when highly rated winger Femi Azeez limped off

Lisbie, whose father Kevin played for Charlton, has joined the Lions for an undisclosed fee and is excited to be returning home to London.

“It has been an amazing couple of days,” Lisbie told BBC Radio London.

“I want to give myself the best opportunity to hit the ground running. I got a call

Millwall opinion: Lions heading into Championship play-offs with confidence

By Total Football News

So the play-offs it is then…

Last Saturday’s routine 2-0 win over an already-relegated Oxford United was as much as the Lions could do in their chase for the final automatic promotion spot.

But in truth, it was always Ipswich Town’s to lose – and the Tractor Boys were too good a side to allow the prize to slip from their grasp.

Two terrific goals from talisman Femi Azeez were

Millwall opinion: It’s a terrific time to be a Lions fan

Bermondsey will be abuzz with anticipation on Saturday, as the Lions enter the final day of the EFL season still with an outside chance of achieving automatic promotion to the Premier League.

After an incredible 2025-26 season, full of ups and downs, this is an amazing situation to be in.

Of course matters don’t lie entirely in our own hands, but all that Millwall can do is hopefully despatch Oxford

Millwall opinion: Lions can use international break to get players back for Championship run-in

By Total Football News

International breaks are rarely popular with fans, especially if you’re in the race for the play-offs or (whisper it) the automatic promotion places…

But in truth, Millwall will regard this weekend’s pause in the Championship action as a welcome chance to get a number of players out of the medical room and nearer to first-team action.

As we approach the final seven games of what has been a remarkable 2025-26

Millwall opinion: Blackburn defeat a ‘painful twist of events’ for Lions

By Total Football News

It’s rarely a good thing for a referee to be ‘the story’ from a critical game such as Millwall’s home defeat by Blackburn on Saturday.

But Andrew Kitchen’s 59th-minute decision to show the Lions’ Zak Sturge a straight red card for the denial of a clear goalscoring opportunity was, to say the least, highly controversial.

There is of course no video assistant referee (VAR) in the Championship (thankfully), but had

Millwall manager Alex Neil told BBC Radio London:

“The first half, we weren’t really as fluent as I’d like us to be. At half-time, I changed the shape. That allowed us to get better pressure, we looked more threatening and we took the lead, deservedly.

“We then had an unbelievable chance through Camiel (Neghli) to make it 2-0. If that happens, the game is probably put to bed.

“Then we

By Total Football News

Championship promotion chasers Millwall have announced a pre-tax loss of £300,000 for the most recent financial year.

The Lions’ accounts were aided by generating a £21.6m profit from player sales with the moves of Zian Flemming, to Burnley, and Romain Esse, to Crystal Palace, commanding significant fees.

The club – currently third in the Championship, one point off the automatic promotion places – made a loss of £19.1m the previous
