Millwall 1 Portsmouth 0 26/12/11

Well done to the team for grinding out this Boxing day win. Some might say that this was a poor game and I would tend to agree. With the best chance in the first half coming from Millwall in the added minute of extra time, things didn't look well.

The first 45.....with the away support looking on, Millwall attempt a raid on the Pompey goal

Millwall 0 Cardiff 0 10-12-11

Championship Game 21
The Cardiff's fans stayed in their seats for this one.

Trying to recall this game and and also trying to sum it up, I wrote on my 2011-2012 Championship page within this Blogspot  "a bit of a dour affair with the Millwall defence defending OK, but with clearances, tackles and interceptions going astray the Lions looked tatty ".
We could have won this game against much fancied Cardiff with our two good chances, but lady luck went away.

Down the far end Cardiff fans boycott the seats near the "dodgy bit" at the top of the away stand

Millwall 1 Bristol City 2 20/11/11 Championship

20/11/11 Game 17 Millwall 1 Bristol City 2 att. 10,252 (away 324)

Goal scorers: Millwall Jay Simpson 57mins,    Bristol City Maynard 14, 63  this idiot was celebrating his first goal in front of the Cold Blow Lane Stand by giving it large, the abuse he got was probably heard down the far end of the Old Kent Road.

A bit of a foggy day for this Sky Sunday broadcast and although the Lions started brightly Bristol scored first and went on to win the game. With Bristol scoring on 13 minutes Millwall always seemed to be chasing the game and when eventually on loan Simpson pulled the Lions level Bristol yet again scored and we were once again back to chasing a equaliser. It wasn't to be our day as Millwall lacked the bite to see off this average Championship.side. Sometimes you can watch a game for 90 minutes and it's not registered within your mind of what type of game it actually was, perhaps Bristol are not a average side and perhaps the Lions done well to keep the game so tight, not sure. What I can recall is below average distribution from the Millwall back four. There was a bit of a boo at the final whistle, so I guess that a few of us weren't happy. 

ps...from where I was we should have had a penalty

even though i have stuck up for thorn so far, I dont think he has an option any more - his position has become untenable

Darius Henderson nicks the match ball, x3

22/10/11 Leicester City 0 Millwall 3 att. 21.991 (501) Darius "Hulk" Henderson 3,45,67
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way oh! what fun it is to see, Millwall win away.


22/1/12 'Hulk Henderson scores two more hat tricks, at home to Dagenham and away to Barnsley in consecutive games.  In my life time I have never known a Millwall player do that before.

Millwall and Kenny Jackett 2011-2012 ten games gone

4/10/2011 Ten Game round up or how I see it so far.

DWDLDLDLLL = 7 POINTS = NOT VERY GOOD but we and John G Berylson show our support for KJ

There has been a improvement since we lost to Derby County but this improvement has still resulted in two more defeats. On another day we could have nicked points from Watford and Burnley.
With a poll on the popular supporters forum site 'HOF' backing Kenny Jackett by a whopping 96%, I think proves that supporters have a lot of time for this man and we want him to stay.

I think it's time to dig out my old Lucky Blue Socks

I believe that things will turn around. The Millwall crowd will have a big part to play 'home and away'.
I think it's time to hunker down, show our support for KJ, roar on the Lions and let's be up there by Christmas. Making predictions in football can result in a bite on your arse and egg on your face, but I see us in about 10th or 11th spot by Christmas. A bit of a dream perhaps, but I think we have the manager, players and supporters to do it.

Millwall wandering home, maybe wondering where the next three points is coming from.

I suppose the long and short of it all is that our next ten games need to be a whole lot better in terms of results if we are going to get anywhere near my prediction. I will have to wait and see.

I have just trawled through last seasons 2010-2011 season page on this Blog and found this...
From the 5th league game to the 17th league game DDLLDDWLWLLDL we pulled out of that slump, who's to say we cannot do it again.
____________________________________

Start of the next ten Championship games, after the international break

15/10/11 Game 11 Away to Boro and it is a 1-1 D

18/10/11 Game 12 Home to Brighton and it's a 1-1 D

22/10/11 Game 13 Away to Leicester and it is a 3-0 Millwall W

29/11/11 Game 14 Home to Ipswich and it's a 4-1 Millwall W

01/11/11 Game 15 Home to Coventry and it's a 3-0 Millwall W

I am tempted to say, "I knew the team had it in them". That's five of the second batch of ten games undefeated and eleven points in the bank.We move to 15th in the table.
Don't forget there is a full page about this season on this Blogspot.

05/11/11 Game 16 Away to Blackpool and it's a 1-0 Millwall L

Still eleven points from this second batch of ten games as Millwall suffer their first defeat in six.

20/11/11 Game 17 Home to Bristol City and it's a 1-0 Millwall L

26/11/11 Game 18 Away to Crystal Palace and it's a 0-0 D

29/11/11 Game 19 Home to Doncaster Rovers and it's a 3-2 Millwall W

03/12/11 Game 20 Away to Leeds United and it's a 2-0 Millwall L

That's 15 points from the second batch of ten games so pleased that we have improved, but we are still near the bottom of the table. DDWWWLLDWL 15 POINTS=IMPROVEMENT


Third batch of ten games
I may as well keep this going : I am hoping for a bigger tally of points than 15, we shall see:

10/12/11 Game 21 Home to Cardiff and it's a 0-0 D

17/12/11 Game 22 Away to Hull and it's a 2-0 L

26/12/11 Game 23 Home to Portsmouth and it's a 1-0 W

That's only one defeat in three, but only 4 points, so that's good but not so good.

31/12/11 Game 24 Home to Palace and it's a 1-0 L ' watching this game was painful.

3/1/2012 Game 25 Away to Bristol City and it's a 1-0 L getting beat near the end of extra time was also painful, especially after all the chances we had.

Just four points after five games of this 3rd batch of ten games, perhaps the transfer window will bring a surprise. After just one goal in five games we need a striker or two.

FA Cup 3rd round Away to Dagenham and Redbridge and it's a sell out.....
7/1/12 Dagenham 0 Millwall 0 A bit of a slog but it's back to our place.

14/1/12 Game 26 Home to Birmingham City and it's a 6-0 L Bloody Referee's

17/1/12 FA Cup 3rd round replay Millwall 5 Dagenham 0 W and it's Southampton in the next round.

21/1/12 Game 27 away to Barnsley and it's a 3-1 W Henderson scores his 3rd hat trick of the season

28/1/12 FA Cup 4th round home to Southampton and it's 1-1, L back to their place

31/1/12 Game 28 Home to Watford and it's a 2-0 L for the Lions. We were clueless

04/2/12 Game 29 Away to West Ham and it's a 2-1 L Claret's win with given goal

07/2/12 FA Cup 4th round replay Southampton 2 Millwall 3 W superb display by the Lions. Bolton next.

11/2/12 Game 30 Home to Derby and it's a 0-0 D 

That takes us to only eight points for the 3rd batch of ten games, which is a disappointing as we have shown no improvement with this part of the season. DLWLLLWLLD=8 POINTS
__________________________________
The start of the next batch of ten games, let's see if we beat eight points.
14/2/12 Game 31 Brighton 2 Millwall 2 a good display and Millwall earn a D

18/2/12 FA Cup 5th round Millwall 0 Bolton 2 D att.11,320 (1054)
I was looking forward to a rip-roaring display by the Lions but although we seemed to have most of the game our attacking play was somewhat lacking.

4TH BATCH OF 10 games looks like this DLWLWLLWLD

Eleven points earn't from these ten games and it reads so far.........

First batch of ten games 7 points

Second batch of ten games 15 points

Third batch of ten games 8 points

Forth batch of ten games 11 points

A grand total of 41 points and we sit just outside the relegation zone.

Six games to go, it would be nice to wish to finish these last six games with a better points return

than what's gone before.

The last six games

07/4/12 Game 41 Millwall 2 Hull 0, this one's for Kitch as we earn a home W

10/4/12 Game 42 Portsmouth 0 Millwall, 1 according to Robbo this one is for us W

14/4/12 Game 43 Millwall 2 Leicester 1, three wins on the trot and it's another W

A dream come true, Millwall winning three on the bounce,a Saturday night to get sloshed and a massive grin!!

That's us mathematically safe with 50 points-I would like to see us push-on and finish the season strong. Not sure the players could do it as they have worked bloody hard to avoid relegation and are probably thinking about holidays. I don't blame them.

Pushing on.....

17/4/12 Game 44 Coventry o Millwall 1 the fourth win on the spin and it's a W

21/4/12 Game 45 Ipswich 0 Millwall 0, five wins another clean sheet and another W and 56 points

28/4/12 Game 46 Millwall 2 Blackpool2  W A decent game of football to finish off the season.

The thoughts of relegation was long gone as the Lions finish seventeen points above the drop and one point above Palace. Not to sure what all the fuss was about as KJ and the team have shown their metal.

57 POINTS and a well earnt holiday

Millwall 0 v Westham 0

17/9/2011
I didn't really want to do any thing special about this game, because after all it is "just another game"

But...............

With Clem from the Football League Show looking for a story, "the time has come".

I think I hate 12.30 kick off's, but I made it there in time. This all ticket game was preluded as expected with the normal media stuff that is said and written about why this clash between the Lions and the Hammers is such a fierce local derby. I think it as simple as "we dislike them and they dislike us"

OK I admit, it was a bit of a lazy statement written above, but as we know it is true for many supporters of both teams. In my book it is no more than a fierce local rivalry between two London football teams supporters who have a bit of a history of dislike for each other which has produced some nasty incidents which has in turn strengthened the dislike between them. These local rivalries in football are common place and some are of similar nature but maybe a bit more "tea and scones". For us, it's taking on the big guy, rubbing their noses in something shitty, kicking them in the nuts and watching them run.

For West Ham it's how dare they? upstarts, lower league shit, I wish they would leave us World Cup Winners alone.

Me......I dislike Palace just a little bit more.

A 16.000 crowd and even Rhino turned up for this one.

The 0-0 draw on reflection seems to be about right even though we could have won the game with some better finishing.

The "Edge"

Millwall 2 Morecambe 0

Not to many for this Tuesday night 2nd round Carling Cup clash, just 3,443.  It was very comfy I could stretch out with my legs over the seat in front.

The West Stand, looking a bit sparse

The away end, even sparser.

The away end was just that, away, most of the Morecambe fans stayed away. 68 turned up

A bit of extra news was the icing on the cake, West Ham lost at home to the same level of opposition in the same cup the next night.

Millwall and Eltham

A Millwall 1-0 win in the Carling Cup down in Plymouth did not distract Lions Supporters from doing the right thing, which is protecting local manors around South London from the rabble that is trying to destroy London. With a severe lack of Police on the ground, which is coupled with weak Government the situation needed some good old South London justice and that's what happened as a mob of  looters were driven out of Eltham High Street and along the road to Woolwich. Also Lions supporters who was gathered at the Bermondsey Blue for a drink was on hand to deter any looters who fancied their chances, I believe that none of the looting low-life turned up but went to rob a Tesco elsewhere, they must have got wind of the situation.
I have read written reports from Millwall people that were in Eltham and Bermondsey that both events are fact. Also heard that Charlton fans were with Millwall at Eltham and a few West Ham fans at Bermondsey.
Me I am sorry to say that I was like a politician   I was on holiday

Up the Wall....

Darius Henderson

29-6-11

 Darius Henderson signs on a two year deal from Sheffield United. With 84 goals scored in his professional career the 29 year old and  6'1" striker will shortly put on the Millwall shirt and as I have faith in KJ I am sure that he will score a few goals (hopefully lots) for the Lions.

Neil Harris goes to the seaside

Bomber signs for Southend United on a three year deal which is just the
security he needs as he approaches the latter years of his career. I for one
do not begrudge his move to the coast and I wish him well and I know that
many Millwall supporters feel the same.

Record Goalscorer and supreme Millwall Hero  138

Once again Bomber finds time to spend time with the fans at the Den after the

match against Swansea. 2010-2011 season

Millwall 0 Swansea 2 game 45

30/4/2011
We can say goodbye to the play off's.With the Lions producing a non-Lion display they didn't come close to getting anything out of this game. A bit of a anti-climax to the season really, roll on August.

On a bright note!

Before the game Tamika Mkandawire picks up the supporters (MSC) player of the year award, "well earn't".

 The players come back out on to the pitch a short while after the game to receive

 applause for a decent season back in the championship.  As I said before roll on August.

Millwall 3 Leeds 2

Championship 9/4/2011

The Lions close within four points of Leeds and once again Leeds are looking over their shoulder.

Hull 0 Millwall 1 2/4/2011

Once again it's becoming a interesting end to the season

Predicted this score before the game so as you can imagine I am well happy.
Steve Morison scores from a beautiful crafted chip which sailed over the Hull keepers head.

Once again hardly a media mention, but what do I expect

The play offs are close and it's Leeds at home next, can't wait.

Cardiff supporter falls at the Den

19/3/2011 Millwall 3 Cardiff 3 att 15.039   Championship cracker

After a quiet first half  Cardiff score the opening goal and a Cardiff fan celebrates by being reckless and climbing on top of a safety rail located on the top tier of the away end where he falls onto the empty seats 15 feet below and sustains some nasty injuries. He was not bumped by fellow Cardiff supporters as it has been mentioned but fell due to stupidity. As he was falling he done a somersault and landed on his back across some empty chairs and then hit the concrete floor. He ends up in the back of an ambulance and is taken to Kings College Hospital a few miles away. Both sets of supporters clap as he leaves the ground on a stretcher.

Cardiff fan falls from top of yellow safety rail and is quickly under the care of the Millwall club doctor and paramedics.

A footnote to this is confusing me,  two Cardiff fans are allowed down to see him and one ends up getting stroppy and get's arrested and taken away??? "very odd"

The main bulk of the Cardiff fans decide not to take flying lessons.

UPDATE NEXT DAY...Just heard that he only broke three fingers.

 He should do the lottery because he is lucky, lucky, lucky.

Millwall 2 QPR 0 The Lions Roar

One of them games...loved it!

Losing at home to the Boro

19-2-2011-With the Wall trying desperately to retrieve a point from this lively encounter

it wasn't to be and a 3-2 win for the opposition sent me home to kick the cat.

Danny Schofield "a ace in my book"

A touch of silk but Danny's not a fanny
Is there such a thing as a quality goal? All goals are worth the same amount, be it a ball that bounces in off  your backside or a fine header on the back post but there is always something special about a Danny Schofield goal. He does some good stuff on the pitch and scores goals, quality goals at that, tops him off.

Oh well! they come they go, as Kenny let's him go

Millwall 3 Crystal Palace 0

What a wonderful Christmas and new year's day


The away end

Palace away support watch their hero's  zero's take a drubbing

I may have been generous in saying " Palace fans watch" this was all that was left of them at the final whistle.
