"I’ve always said that if I came back to England, I’d come home. Millwall is where I learnt my trade and it was the most important learning period of my life – my apprenticeship in understanding football.“To come home to where it all started, it’s emotional, but it’s happy emotions, because you wish for it to happen, you want it to happen, but when it finally comes to fruition, it’s the perfect move.”

CAHILL SHOCKS VIEWERS VS FULHAM

Cahill came off the bench again against Fulham on Friday night, and he hit the headlines for a quite shocking moment.

Chasing down Ryan Fredericks on the right wing, Cahill went flying into the challenge with his elbow raised.

And his elbow made contact with the Fulham player, who consequently hit the deck with his hands on his face.

That is disgusting. Amazingly, referee Andre Marriner didn't stop play for the incident, and worse still, didn't even give a card to Cahill.

In truth, it didn't even look like the Australian midfielder was even trying to play the ball.

It was without doubt a red card, and he could be looking at a lengthy ban for the incident.

A lot of football fans most certainly want to see that happen, and they have every right to be enraged.
