What a week for Millwall first our win at Leeds 2-0 first time we have won there since 1988. Then we beat Stockport 5-0 moving us to third in the table joint on points with Leeds, Leeds holding second on goal difference by one goal. Should be a gripping end to a fantastic season. Millwall should finish in second gaining automatic promotion COME ON THE WALL.
We are Millwall, super Millwall, we are Millwall, from the Den
The past week has been excellent Millwall beating Leeds away Monday night being the high light.
My boy had his term assembly and did me well proud. Been a really good week. Cant wait till tomorrow now Millwall V Stockport at the Den.
What an exhilarating 2nd half! With the threat of Charlton coming out all guns blazing after conceding late in the 1st half to a goal from Darren Ward, Millwall maintained a tight defence and soon gained the upper hand. Although Charlton still threatened, Millwall got the better half of the game in the 2nd half with plenty of chances. The big change came around the 70th minute when Neil Harris came on for Shaun Batt and almost immediately he forced an OG by Christian Dailly on the 74th minute.
2 minutes later Steve Morison finally got the goal he’d been threatening all game to take the Lions to 3 – 0, then again 5 minutes later on the 81st Morison got his brace. He never got the chance for his hat-trick though, coming off minutes later to make room for Jonathan Obika’s regular brief appearance. Charlton’s heads had dropped and the final whistle came as blessing to both their players and fans, had it continued longer Millwall would have no doubt got their 5th, maybe more.
Millwall’s fans by the end chanting “You’re shit and you know you are”!! The atmosphere in the Den was absolutely electric, 14 years in the making, the sell out crowd that were lucky enough to get tickets to this show case match were treated to a goal fest! Millwall now sitting 4th in League 1, a single point now separating them and 3rd place Charlton, 6 points between them and 2nd place Leeds and games against 1st, 2nd, 5th, 6th and 7th place teams still in the coming weeks, Millwall have still got all to play for with 2nd place no longer seeming out of reach!
COME ON YOU LIONS!!!

After a 4-4 eventful draw away to Charlton earlier this season and the obvious history between the clubs, this was always going to be a fantastic, eventful game. A very open 1st half with plenty of action. Both teams looking dangerous on the attack, both sides having chances to take the lead, Charlton notably through A. Sodjie, Millwall through Morison who’s been on goal scoring form of late. However it was Darren Ward who managed to monopolise his chance on the 44th minute with the ball rolling into the back of the Charlton net just before half-time. It is just the advantage Millwall need going into the 2nd half, although the Lions will have to be careful, and keep their wits about them at the start of the 2nd half as Charlton are likely to come out fighting!
If current scores throughout the league remain the same it would put Millwall up to 4th, 1 point behind Charlton in 3rd and 6 points behind Leeds in 2nd.
COME ON MILLWALL!!!!!
Darren Ward puts the ball in the back of the net for Millwall on the 44th minute!

Full Time
It was a lively 2nd half with Millwall coming out on fire, the Lions were determined to capitalise on their 1 goal advantage, Steve Morison almost put a blinding shot into the top corner, but the Carlisle keepers fingers just tipped the ball wide, a second blinding chance somehow went wide and just when every Millwall fan could barely take any more Morison finally found the back of the net on the 70th with a stunning header.
Carlisle continued to be a dangerous force going forward, the substitutions of Scott Dobie for Richard Offiong and Kevan Hurst for on loan Stoke striker Ben Marshall saw a much more attacking Carlisle. Their efforts paid off on the 90th minute with a goal from Danny Livesey, (although their was some debate and incident with David Forde surrounding the goals validity).
However just as Carlisle fans began to hope, or is that dream of a late equalizer, the Lions substitute Danny Schofield put in a third, 1 minute into time added on putting the game out of Carlisle’s reach.
A vital win in the build up for Saturdays home game against Charlton, if the Lions can win at the Den, it would take them to within a point of Charlton, currently 3rd in the table. Tonight’s win combined with Swindon’s 2-1 defeat away at the MK Dons sees Millwall move up to 5th in the League.
First half
whistle blows for the end of the half
Millwall have had a very attacking 1st half with plenty of chances, after scoring a crucial goal on Saturday, Morison seems to again be finding form with a lovely goal on the 12th minute, he also had a missed chance minutes later. Hackett on the other side has had a wobbly first 45 struggling to keep possession, we’ll be hoping for a better performance in the 2nd half.
Carlisle have looked dangerous on the attack and Kenny Jacketts men will have to keep their wits about them in the second half and not show complacency, a second goal for the Lions should seal the deal. Meanwhile with Swindon losing 2-0 away to the MK Dons, the win could be all the more crucial for the Lions promotion hopes.

Be careful with this one, as to not ruin the keyboard. All you have to do is simply and very carefully remove a few keys and switch them around. If your victim is one of those look up and down types. He or she will be very confused while trying to get work done.

I have had a wicked night, catch up with you all later today for the football Walsall V Millwall.
England 3 – 1 Egypt
Firstly may I apologise, due to alcohol related problems (ie I had to go and get some!) I was unable to post the team line ups.
On a night that saw 3 different men captain England there was plenty of ups and downs, and an abundance of nail biting moments.
After a briefly exciting opening few minutes culminating in a missed opportunity by Frank Lampard, England fell flat, giving away the ball in the mid-field and allowing the Egyptians plenty of run on goal. Inevitably with the consistent pressure Egypt went 1 – 0 up with a blinding strike by Zidan on the 23rd minute. Things remained shaky until half-time, and the team went back to the dressing room to the boo’s of the home crowd. Theo Walcott and Wes Brown failed to connect properly down the right, and most of the team put in lack lustre performances.
The second half saw Carrick and Crouch replace Lampard and Defoe, and play seemed more connected, with Crouch putting the ball home on the 56th. Shortly after saw Gerrard and Walcott replaced by Milner and Wright Phillips and play sparked to life. A beautiful strike by Milner was saved but the keeper failed to keep out Wright-Phillips rebound on the 75th. Crouch sealed the deal on the 80th to bag himself a brace and man of the match. Finally Carlton Cole replacing Rooney on the 86th minute, why? who knows, not a fan of Carlton Cole for England.
An obviously needed wake up call before South Africa in the summer.
