    Its the South London derby tomorrow with the visit of the train spotters from SE7, we're unbeaten in 12 games as opposed to Charlton's run of only 1 defeat in their last 6 games against Middlesbrough with 4 wins & a draw in that run so they've got some good form going into the game which is why on paper it looks a tough, close game but with our red hot form & a packed out, rocking Den we should be too strong for them and also with the possibility of players returning from injury - Henry's available after missing the Wolves win through suspension.

    It certainly won't be easy as no derby game is but history is massively on our side with their poor record in this fixture & the 4-0 smashing from three seasons ago our most recent league meeting, we won't & can't take anything for granted as the Championship isn't that straight forward, that said we surely must get something from this game with our superb form and its has to be three points.

    Charlton are 5 points & 8 places below us in the league, we've played Charlton 32 times in the league at home with us winning 18 times, Charlton winning 4 times & 10 draws, we've scored 54 goals in all those games and Charlton have scored 25 goals.

    So COYL lets make it 13 unbeaten with another three points against South London's second team <whistle>............

    It used to surprise me that Millwall used to chant "You Scotch c*** You Scotch c***" at David Speedie, considering your Scottish heritage.

    Good point Billy but ignorance is bliss I guess <laugh>, but then again we've chanted abuse at one or two players over the years <whistle>

    its only gonna be sold out because we're bringing fans. i dont think in all honesty millwall will get close to a 75% full ground otherwise this year. they have a real small fanbase. really hope they dont fold... we need rivals.

    Millwall are rocking at the moment, so I reckon you're going down.

    It's a pity you're playing them now, rather than January(after we nick their deal for Wood).

    Sorry Steve. <whistle>

    Having a good month to be fair. Won 2 on the same day which returned a rather handsome 4 figure sum. Deciding whether to go back to New York, go crazy in Vegas or fulfilling an ambition of going to Brazil. What do you think?

    New York: cold
    Vegas: vulgar
    Brazil: too expensive

    Come and see me in the Dominican Republic. A lot of fun to be had out here.

    That's brilliant, forever!

    Eddie, what does the Dominican offer, other than what I assume beautiful weather and fine cocktails?

    Have to be honest, I'm confident of getting a result tomorrow. Not sure wether it will be a draw or a victory, but Haynes and Wilson being back in contention boosts our chances massively.

    If you are serious think you should go to Rio mate - it's a fantastic place and the views on the Copacabana are superb (if you know what I mean) - been there a couple of times and the other two u mentioned are s**t in comparison<ok>

    This was my 65th birthday party. I invited 65 girls but only 29 turned up. (Once I sobered up and got the bill I was grateful for that!) Note that these girls are Haitian which is my personal preference, but of course they are outnumbered 9 to 1 by Dominican girls who come in all shades (rather like Brazil).

    The weather is generally very good but if you came for a short trip you could be unlucky and encounter up to five days of rain on the trot. That would be unusual and in any case it is warm rain and there is lots of indoor fun to be had. With the cost of the airfare you need to come for at least a week, a fortnight would be better.

    I am not much of a drinker but I am not aware of it being renowned for cocktails. Dominicans don't do "sophisticated". I am sure the international hotels offer the same choice as anywhere else, but I think the thing to do here is get away from the tourist traps and see a bit of the real DR. It is kind of sleazy but not dangerous and I have yet to meet a single male who didn't want to come back as soon as possible after his first visit.

    I am not a smoker either but I am told the cigars run Cubans close. The local beer is fairly cheap and good and the local rum is excellent and cheap.

    They are baseball crazy here so no soccer, but plenty on TV.

    Nice beaches. If you rent a car (which I do not recommend) you can find a tropical beach just to yourself in midweek. Golf, fishing, diving, and some action sports.

    Food is monotonous but some good seafood.

    If you are a dancer you can learn the local dances, bachata and merengue, and watch the girls dancing reggaeton. This is a nation of dancers.

    Casinos, but I wouldn't trust them to run an honest table. I have only been three times and have won a few dollars each time but my friends say they let newbies win to try and reel them in. Not sure if there is any truth in that.

    Not sure you should consider a career in the tourism industry Eddie - an awful lot of caveats in there!!!! :cool:The girls sound good though :eek:

    I thought we partied hard, but your 65th blows everything out of the water <laugh>.

    Woke up at 7am today as I was so excited. Had no food in, but amazingly found a website that delivers fry ups (pivotal to the thread this fact).

    Still feel confident. I'm leaning towards a battling 0-1 with hulse getting the goal. Keeping a clean sheet without morro will be tough, but think there is a lot of fight in the midfield with Pritchard and frimpong in particular assisting the defence. My confidence will grow if with have Haynes up against ****tu, his pace will scare any defender in this league, and he seems to have the scoring touch right now.

    I said all week that I'm going for 0-1 with Skipper on his 100th appearance getting the winner (not sure if it will be a pen or freekick?)
