My way's simpler......

[david_carnell]

Half time.

0-0.

But Leeds are absolutely dominant. 70% of possession but no goal(s). Yet.

Squeaky bum time.

[david_carnell]

GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAL!

1-0 (1-1)

Ex-Boca Juniors, Barcelona B and Tevez team-mate, Lucciano Becchio, puts the Mighty Whites level.

And after a missed penalty too.

Valium. Now please.

Keef said: Wasn't Gary Neville once known for his long throw in? And some guy at Tranmere a few years back, it's not a new thing,

Anyone remember Martin Chivers long throw in the 60/70s - they thought it was a great asset to his teams.

[????]

Or David Webb at Chelsea

[Sandperson]

Do away goals count in the play-offs?

[????]

Nope

[david_carnell]

Argh. Cock. And more cock.

Just 10 odd mins to go. We need a goal. Now.

[david_carnell]

Another double scotch PGC?

You'll be a lush by the end of the season.

[Atila Reincarnate]

Fair play Millwall, good luck in the final.

[Mick Mac]

We can buy a single each David - lets cut costs. Bad luck Leeds.

[clare]

Comiserations to all fellow Leeds fans......can't believe we've blown it again.......and to Millwall.....sigh

[SimonM]

Sorry Leeds - really!

And, whoever mentioned that Martin Chivers long throw, it was a real thing of beauty because he looked so effortless doing it...

SimonM (whose Wembley ticket has been ordered)

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Good morning all - what a joyous day it is.

All drinks welcome!

Nice touch Sean.

Bad luck David - I actually have a soft spot for Leeds but I'm glad we did it. Just annoyed I couldn't stay awake.

Looking forward to footy this weekend! COME ON FULHAM!!!!

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

E-I-O, E-I-O, E-I-O, E-I-O....>:D<

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.

I have to admit going to the Old Den was propa, old skool stuff.......

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.

[Rhinestone Cowboy]

Bolton 1 Hull 1 ( Hull holding on )

Everton 2 West Ham 0

Man Utd 0 Arsenal 1 ( Thriller at Hull next week )

Middlesbrough 0 Aston Villa 3 ( down down down )

Newcastle 1 Fulham 1

Stoke 2 Wigan 1

Tottenham 0 Man City 4

Chelsea 4 Blackburn 0

West Brom 0 Liverpool 5

Portsmouth 1 Sunderland 0

It's all getting a bit tight at the bottom

[Atila Reincarnate]

I'm only going to comment the Mancs against the Arsenal game.

Mancs 3 - Arsenal 0

Well done to the Mancs for retaining the title.
