Millwall

Really would like to see either them or Luton go up. Hopefully they can thump Rovers today. Come on you Lions.

Luton would be the fairytale ending.

I’d be pleased if either went up, if only for the likelihood that it’d make our job that little bit easier next season.

I'd like to see Blackburn go up. We can continue our rivalry in the top division, perhaps even relegate them.

If there is one thing remaining in this season it is very much the hope that they don't go up. Hopefully they will fail to win today and we can all relax.

I'd like to be at least one division above them for the rest of my days if at all possible.

I’m with Tony here - I’d be more than happy to have a division or two between us for the rest of my days. Smash them every few years in the cup just to remind them.

I’m ok with Blackburn coming up. Derbies are part of the fabric of being a football fan, and most of us have never seen us beat them in the top flight.

After the run they’ve been on though, I can’t believe it’s still a (remote) possibility.

Leave em where they are, the problem I see is that if they get to the prem the venkys might start showing an interest and put big money into premier survival!

When I think of Millwall, with my football brain as ever firmly lodged back in the 1970s, I can't help but think of the epitome of the 'one-club-man' who was Barry Kitchener, who has a stand at The Den named after him.

I've always had a soft spot for Millwall, though especially today I am a fan.

The issue should Rovers go up is that the Venky’s do have deep pockets. They may well be willing to spend significantly.

I'd like them to miss out on promotion today, get relegated next season, then the season after too. Then end up in the National League. Then go into administration. Then be liquidated. Then I'll happily padlock the gates until the bulldozers come in and raze the whole place of misery to the ground.

Clearly my views have mellowed due to our decade of easy dominance over them.

I'd be happy if we never played them again at anything, football, dominoes, chess, tiddlywinks, not anything, not ever.

The occasional cup game against the merged Lanashire minnow club of Accrington North End Rovers will do me just to rub their collective noses in it and in all honesty break the tedium of vieing with Man U City and Liverpool for the mantle of top North West club, it can be a target tedious in the stratosphere.

I nearly gave this a like, but wouldn't it be even sweeter if they were to win today, but fail to get in the playoffs, due to a last minute winner for one of the other teams involved?
On second thoughts though, I'd enjoy our game more if they were 3-0 down at HT, with their rivals all winning!

Whilst Millwall aren't in the best of form, Rovers have 8 points from the last 30 available ... can't see where a goal could come from really ..

Cue a 0-3 away win ! :roll:

Some comeback from Rovers. Sunderland getting the business done at Deepdale though and all three goals have been fantastic.

T'bastards come back from 3-1 down to win and miss out on the play offs by goal difference. Lovely.

Sky had a pre-game stat that Millwall had only won once in 14 matches against them. I was concerned after seeing that. Millwall have been on a terrible run also.
Still Sunderland didn’t let us down.
The tears are running down me leg.

Even better it means Benson’s goal meant they didn’t get in the playoffs. A draw against us and they would have been there. Beautiful!!!

The thought that Barnes’ handball that wasn’t given had an impact, pleases me greatly.
