    Why they not keen on Pritchard in particular?

    I've just seen an interesting stat...

    If Sheff Utd continue going at 2pts per game, they'll finish on 92pts. If Sunderland win every game until the end of the season we'll finish on 93pts.

    I am going to split this into two halves. Millwall are a horrible team, to watch and the way they go about things. It is like they want to live up to their reputation of old. Noone likes us and we dont care and all that rubbish. I have been to the old Milwall a couple of times and it was always a hell of an atmosphere, genuine day out, but it wasnt a case the football team were always horrible, they had a bit about them. It seems they are trying to represent something on the pitch that disappeared 20 years ago. A lot of us will have played footy at a decent enough level, I would never play for a side like that, and i was no shrinking violet. Players want to play.

    As for our lads it was a hell of an effort. The game was so stop start we couldnt get going. Lads like Michut and Amad couldnt get any rhythmn. It was a game where lads like Hume and Ballard just stood solid. Baath as well. I thought Neil did well enough too and made some good tackles. It was a game where we dug in, gave a bit back, and some will have learned so much. Bloody brilliant to have Pritch back as well - still gets into our starting 11 for me, and what a free kick that is. Hope Cirkin is all right.

    Well done lads, it is a point gained at a place where others have got none. We are still looking good to me.

    Perfect proof of why anybody wont do. I am convinced the club consider that a very naieve mistake and wont be doing anything like that again.

    RR made Baath MoM... can't disagree.

    We never got to impose our game and their nigglely fouls and crosses kept us pinned back most of the time. I think we had most possession, but did their keeper make a save?... other than punching Cirkin when he scored.

    Baath is going to run close for player of season in my opinion. Not bad for a centre half in a team of talents. We have a lot to thank an ex head coach for when it comes to Baath signing.

    They needed booking early on! Still a big decision for ref to rule that goal out, correct decision but I doubt many picked up on it until the replay so gets a well done for that!

    West Ham season ticket holder as a boy. He gave them **** in the home game when he scored doing the Hammers sign with his arms.

    and showed the stupidity of getting just anyone in. Defoe didn't fit the model of the team and shouldn't have been brought in.

    I always thought we were blessed with the football we're playing ...

    ... after seeing Millwall I think we're doubly blessed.

    If Millwall fluke promotion they'd be lucky to scrape a dozen points.

    I didn't see that but they were hating him and slagging him on their forum before the match down to West Ham, assume they were his team growing up!

    Thought you meant today after he provided an assist. See from another poster you meant in the game he scored in.

    For the disallowed goal alone he should be commended mate. Not many refs would have done that at the Den.

    Just seen someone call Millwall the Wycombe of the championship. Can’t disagree. Kind of team we will beat at home and on a neutral pitch but will struggle at their ground
