    No,

    It would probably mean I'd have an extra drink on Saturday evening though.

    I know nothing about the lad. Just correcting your skewed view of the available stats.

    Have to agree <ok>

    I have been holding back on my prediction hoping we might get Sorenson and an outside chance of a prolific goal scorer joining, it looks slim now with just a day left so sadly I am going to have to say I believe Millwall will win this one 2-0

    Sorenson deal expected to be sorted in morning. Leeds had to fork out a little extra cash

    Guess that's it then! Milwall are nailed on to win. According to Millwall ...

    http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/latest-whites-news/millwall-v-leeds-united-whites-are-ideal-start-for-lions-bircham-1-6774816

    Millwall coach Marc Bircham believes the circumstances surrounding Saturday&#8217;s game against Leeds United are &#8220;all in our favour&#8221;, claiming the fixture list has thrown his club the ideal start.

    Bircham spoke with unchecked confidence about Millwall&#8217;s chances of opening their season with a victory &#8211; but admitted he and manager Ian Holloway were &#8220;second-guessing&#8221; United&#8217;s tactics after a summer of upheaval at Elland Road.

    Eight new signings have come to Leeds since the end of last season, all but two of them from the Italian leagues.

    Several will be included in David Hockaday&#8217;s starting line-up in tomorrow, though centre-back Frederik Sorensen looks unlikely to play with his season-long loan from Juventus in some doubt.

    The clutch of foreign players will be greeted by a typically hostile atmosphere at The Den as Leeds and Millwall renew a long-standing rivalry, and Bircham said home advantage had slanted to the fixture in favour of the Bermondsey club.

    &#8220;It&#8217;s a fantastic first game,&#8221; Bircham said.

    &#8220;I don&#8217;t think we could have picked a better one to start the season with.

    &#8220;The fans will be right up for it because the atmosphere against Leeds is always good &#8211; and we&#8217;re possibly playing them at a good time as well.

    &#8220;It&#8217;s all in our favour because we&#8217;re at home and we&#8217;ll get a great crowd behind us. It&#8217;s just up to the lads to get a result.&#8221;

    Leeds have a poor record at The Den, beaten by the Lions on six of their last seven visits there, but their form on the first day of the English season is far more impressive, showing only two defeats since 1989.

    Both sides meandered in the Championship last season with Leeds finishing 15th and Millwall down in 19th but Holloway spoke optimistically about his expectations, saying: &#8220;I want to do better than that. I want us to feel like we can achieve things.&#8221;

    United&#8217;s unfamiliar squad are also hoping to defy predictions of another difficult term, and Bircham said: &#8220;It&#8217;s quite difficult to second-guess them.

    &#8220;We just have to nail down our roles and responsibilities and be confident about our own set-up.&#8221;

    Millwall are missing midfielders Nicky Bailey, Ed Upson and Richard Chaplow, all of whom have been ruled out by minor muscle strains.

    I will be really interested to see our line-up, don't think it'll look that much like Damned's one to be honest but then its anyone's guess.

    Lets go for a really tight game where we score 2 of the only chances we get and manage a hard-fought clean sheet
