Random thoughts on yesterday...

Millwall police are tossers part 1: before the game they wouldn't let us go to the part of the ground we needed to pick our tickets up from, we weren?t sitting with all the mass ranks, and didn't believe us even when we showed them documentary proof

I won?t go on about the game as others have posted their thoughts below as I concur with most of it...we never looked like we were gonna win...they were better on the day?maybe if RM's effort had gone in after his hazy run through a back tracking Milwall defence it would have been different...nah, I think we were always going to lose...we missed GH too much and Millwall played better on the day

We sat in the directors' box (oo-er?the seats are padded and you get free tea and biscuits at half time and after the game?the view of the pitch is really, really good

Just before kick off McNasty appeared and looked nasty however Bowkett looked relatively happy and a bit more smiley?as did the other director who?s name I can?t remember

Someone Millwall wag behind me shouted let?s be avin? you at Delia when she and MWJ took their seats

I found it odd not being allowed to swear (considered bad form apparently) though the Millwall fans immediately behind me didn't stop swearing all game?the language became even riper when ZW came on as various death threats were issued?some of the rich NCFC women took a dim view of their behaviour

A section of Millwall chucked a load of bottles on the pitch when they scored...that same section, I thought I heard, gave AM some monkey chant abuse when he first ran past them...didn't hear it again

GH and AD, plus a couple others I couldn't see, were in the lounge at half time partaking in tea and biccies...GH is defo the daddy of his track suited posse

When the chant for Paul Lambert's green and yellow army started Delia tapped along to it until it finished

Some wag from Millwall shouted let's be avin you at her

After the game we had a couple of drinks in the lounge?as we the players were getting ready to leave...a mate introduced me to CM who seems a very nice young man - polite and self assured - and DR apologised to us for the result which I thought was a nice touch

Then Delia appeared and I had a little chat with her and got her to sign me programme for my son

Some Millwall wag shouted let's be avin' you at her and she responded by blowing a kiss at him

Millwall police are tossers part 2: after the game we walked back up to the station via the away fan route...just as reached the entrance one of Sarf Lahndon's finest told us they'd just locked the gates and we had to walk back to the ground and take a different route... when we got back to the ground Mr and Mrs Babylon then sent us up a road that descended into an area of outstanding grossness - it appeared to take its inspiration from Gaza...someone went to set their Doberman on us, which was reassuring...dreadful experience

However I met and had a drink with Acid Jazz and all round mod legend DJ Eddie Piller so that rounded things of nicely
