I wrote a thread on the Betfair Forum before the kick-off asking what time EXACTLY Leeds would get their Penalty--I predicted 64th Minute so I wasn't too far out.:)).


I feared the worse as Millwall fans were only allowed a derisory 1,000 tickets (as were Leeds at The Den) and with a volatile full house of 37,000 against them plus Beccio/Beckford et al I did not think we would do it.


Before the game Jason Price (injured) said that the Team were really confident, a confidence I did not share.


They were right and I was wrong I'm delighted to say.


To get myself in the mood I watched the 6-part History of Millwall and the 6-part CCTV-Leeds/Millwall match recorded with Donal McIntyre that showed the "passion" of The Leeds Fans so I was "up" for the match come kick-off.


I was very unlucky with my Betting as I did "0/0" at 15/1 and the time of the first goal in 3 seperate Bets i.e. "61-70 Mins"// "71-80 Mins" -- "81-90 Mins") so if it had been 0/0 at 60 Minutes I could not have lost.


It didn't matter as I rarely have been so proud of The Lions, which I have watched since 1961, and all I have to do now to get a Wembley Ticket, which won't be as easy as it might sound.


It will be a wonderfully colourful spectacle at Wembley and we will enjoy the day out and hopefully Promotion!


Commisserations to Leeds, it is only a matter of time before they go up with that support.


WALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL:))


Oh! I nearly forgot....


E-I-O, E-I-O, E-I-O, E-I-O

Glad to see Millwall climbing again. Used to love our "Spats" when we were allowed to go and watch each other. The last time I managed to go was when we were banned fromthe new den and Merson took you apart!!! I amanged to sneak in of course!


Millwall was my Nan's club, She had a lot to do with the club during the war when she used to coach the kids team.

My first Away Match outside London was at Portsmouth, circa 1967/8 when Pompey had Ray Hiron/ Albert McCann and Co.


Would other Millwall Fans be there I wondered. We parked quite a way from the Ground and suddenly I heard The Millwall Fans singing Away and we were some distance from Fratton Park.


When we got in the place I always remember the image of The Two-Tier "Home" End and around 2,000 Millwall Fans doing a "Knees Up Mother Brown" in the Top Tier with few Home Fans asit was one hour before kick-off.


I needn't have worried....last laugh (as usual "Away" ) was on Millwall as we were brushed aside 3/0 lol

It was Ian Hutchinson actually. Surely you'll remember his windmill-like arms after his long throw?


Anyway,


Police have confirmed that two Premiership footballers have had their houses burgled on the same night last Tuesday. Ryan Giggs had 70 Welsh caps, 10 Premiership medals, 2 Champions League medals, 5 FA Cup medals, 1 League Cup medal, 2 World Club Cup medals, 8 Charity Shield medals and 1 Super Cup medal stolen.


Emmanuel Adebayor lost a kettle and a toaster.

This joke was sent to my by text two weeks ago.



Could have been worse, the burglar could have gone to a Spurs players house, taken one look and the empty glass cabinets collecting dust for over 50 years and left behind an Untouchables 49 games unbeaten DVD to show them how it's done.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Sue · Posted

      The country didn't "hate Corbyn". Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer, if memory serves, and it was only due to our weird electoral system that they didn't win the previous election. Any hatred of Corbyn was whipped up by the right wing press. The Labour Party has completely lost its way. It doesn't seem to know what it stands for any more, and its members have deserted it in droves. Including me. Anyway, this is probably for the lounge, not being directly relevant to the subject of the thread.

      Agree but Labour made a far worse start and the wheels seem to be falling off spectacularly quickly. Whatever the reason for Reeves' tears it made the markets very jittery and now there is real doubt about how much longer she will last but Starmer cannot afford to lose her - I think they are both toast and the likes of Rayner and Streeting will be licking their chops. A bit like what is happening with Cllr McAsh locally the internal politics of the Labour party always are the real driver of policy, direction and execution and for a government with such a huge majority to be struggling so much so early is really worrying. We should all be very scared because this is paving the way for Reform and a leadership challenge or swing to the farther-left within Labour would be an unmitigated disaster - we had another term of Boris because the country hated Corbyn and his far-left ideology and the far-left Labour may see a leadership challenge as their only feasible way to take the reigns - a bit like Cllr McAsh and his Momentum buddies.

      Does any one own this tabby tom cat ?

      By Jld · Posted

      He has been around for a few months now and looks so sad and unhappy   ,he is coming into the gardens at the top end of  Upland and  Dunstans Roads .Just wondered if he is owned as he is not neutered and keeps getting into fights with cats .

      Starting with Brexit, all the way through to drunken lock down parties, and then finishing on Liz Truss' 'mini budget', I would say it was fairly disastrous from start to finish.
