    Who would have thought that Tommy’s goal would have caused such damage.I know it’s a slightly different team and manager, but as a club looks like they’re heads gone. Last time I saw this was Millwall 95/96 season.

    That's the thing. I watched them on a few times last year, and though they had the players to nick the odd goal and win a game, they regularly blew up in the second half. All that running backwards and forwards without the ball following long balls up to Moore and Campbell. It's a tiring way to play football.

    I know it sounds a bit "after the event", but when the goal went in that was chalked off, I genuinely didn't think it was over. I was sure we'd have the second half and score at least once, so felt we were always in with a chance. Maybe if the Brooks one had went in it would have been different, but I don't think I've ever seen a team of that age, ( it was quite a young team) blow up so dramatically. They were completely gassed out after seventy minutes, as they had been in other games.

    They have a long road back now.

    After all the turmoil at Sheffield Wednesday, if you said to their fans you'd be 1 point above Sheffield United after 4 games, they'd think you were nuts.

    Before a ball was kicked this season, Wednesday looked nailed on for the drop, United look worse.

    He's a strange one. Everton had him out on loan all that time when they were struggling for goals, but never considered recalling him. Leicester bought him but he barely played for them (13 league games) and as soon as they got promoted they offloaded him to Stoke on loan before selling him to Sheffield United. He played in 37 league games and scored 20 goals last season, but 4 of those were in the same game and he only scored once for Sheffield United. He's never looked that impressive when I've seen him, though that's not a lot. He seems one with a lot of buzz around him but not much to back it up.

    Charlton v Millwall <doh>

    I'll guarantee there are Millwall in the Charlton sections and, with West Ham not playing until tonight, Hammers in there as well.

    The Valley has been the venue for many confrontations over the years and rarely anything to do with them.

    Sunderland filled an end there, in the 80's iirc, and Millwall came into the Charlton end.

    After the game Millwall came over the pitch, while the players were still shaking hands, and Sunderland went to confront them.

    We did quite well and they all seemed to vanish ...

    ... the last thing we saw was a well known Peterlee lad, on the top deck of a passing bus, knocking lumps out of Harry the Dog <laugh>

    Must have been a good half time team talk by Ange.

    That’s some save when you see on replay mind.

    Mosquera looks very tidy at back.

    Arsenal are very, very good this year.

    Madueke, Zubi and Eze have balanced it they gonna dominate games.

    Forest look dire again mind. Have they ****ed it with the changes? Player wise I mean not gaffer.

    Just doesn’t look as balanced as last year at all.

    That said like this is essentially last years team.

    Even without our signings the Transfer Window has worked in our favour ...

    ... lots of clubs disrupted and now's the time to make it count.
