Rotherham and Millwall have been locked in a relegation dogfight for much of the season.

It looked for parts of the Championship season (the division one below the Premier League) that Rotherham would be the team to fall. At one point, Millwall striker Lee Gregory even issued a jab at Rotherham to that effect when he questioned the team’s guts — saying he hopes the team “bottles” it.

Well, after Rotherham’s manager Steve Evens successfully guided his team to safety — and as a result, forced Millwall into relegation — Evens responded to Gregory’s jab with a mighty zing of his own:

“A Millwall player said we’ve not got bottle. I’ve got 12 bottles of pink finest Champagne and we’ll be drinking them for about a week. Look forward to League One, son, and keep your trap shut.”
