In answer to your early question - did I go to AFC ?
No mate, don't do the gooners although wish I had !
Great win for the Appleton fellows, and a great win for yourself, sir. A fine, fine day.
Yes, Milwall is not a bad draw would have taken that before.
What a fantastic chance for the beleagured b'stards of Blackburn to march onto Wembley.
Lets get Bentley into fitness and form to supply Rhodes and Co - on we go.
A good evening to you.
No fear.

Sure does come "thick & fast" over the next month....no wonder Appleton is hoping for more players to replace some of the dead-wood in the squad he inherited....still there is lots of positives happening right now and hope this well bring us the results in the league over the next 3/4 weeks....a BIG ask that needs a BIG response from the supporters....COYB..
..Wembley is indeed in your sights and there if the "will" is.....

Maybe we should make it a double-header and play for the 3 points as well....nobody loves us and we don't care! Millwall hard? I have seen harder jelly babies.

We've been this close before, with a great chance of getting to Wembley.
I can't help thinking that a knowledgeable manager would forfeit this game though!

personally - never had a problem at the old den - or new one.
great drinking at market porter (borough market) and the george inn (off borough high st).....marvellous!
first game there for me was that game where we needed to win to get in play-offs - they had just won the league to get promoted as champions to 1st division.....they were still drunk, both fans AND PLAYERS! won 4-1 scorers chris price(?), simon garner x2, simon barker (who then left for qpr) we had around 500-600 there - millwall fans ran on pitch at end and towards us but stopped at edge of pitch.
went to another at old den and a pal of mine took us into the supporters club bar - could not have been more friendly
then there was a cup match in the early 00s at new den - we won 1/0 andy cole(?) - remember walking back to south bermondsey station and the local monkeys were wrecking a traffic warden's van that the bloke had clamped loads of their cars during the game.
woody only had a tough time - cos he sung to them.

A 'knowledgeable' manager would try to win both games.
Only a pretender (ie Kean) would even considering forfeiting any game.
