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.

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.

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

    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
    • Hi, Just a quick note to say it's six months since I launched Eats Dulwich. In that time I've reviewed 28 restaurants. Usually four or five a month except for a month when I came down with gout, which I guess is an occupational hazard. Don't say I don't suffer for my art. Early on someone – Sue, I think – asked me what I'm going to do when I've reviewed every restaurant in East Dulwich. I'm nowhere near that point, but what I have found is that a lot of new openings have tended to be in Rye Lane, so the site has expanded to cover SE15, hence the slight change of name (still haven't had any cease and desist letters from anything with a similar name).  Anyway, the site is still free, it would be great if as many readers as possible here can subscribe so that they automatically get new posts (when you try to subscribe the default might be paid subs but that's down to Substack, just tick the free option instead) as I don't post everything on EDF. Obviously you can get reviews elsewhere if you want, but I think this is the only proper site for local East Dulwich people written by a local East Dulwich person. If you like eating out please have a read. And if there are other places you think I should visit please mention them below and i'll do my best to try them.

    • Can you explain what your point was, then? Because it isn't clear to me. No. Perhaps you could provide a link and explain its relevance? That would be helpful     Those figures suggest that over 10,000,000 voters were not "rejecting a far left party."
