    Even game fir a large part but Millwall finished much stronger. If they play like that again, I don't think Hull will cope, but who knows.
    All to play for next week.

    What a dreadful advert for Championship football that was.

    Hull won at Millwall in the league match, so there is still hope!

    Advantage Spanners after that but you never know terrible advert for the Championship 

    Feels similar to our game at Wycombe which was just as bad

    Sky sports football just showed all the goals of the 1998 play off final. What a day. On a totally different level to the Bauer final.

    Still convinced Newts is gonna miss it when he walks up 28 years later!

    Hull to go through on penalties.

    Most conflicts between lions and tigers have occurred in captivity. One famous incident at the Ankara Zoo in 2010 saw a Tiger enter a lion’s exhibit. The battle didn’t last long, with a single swipe from the tiger severing the lion’s jugular. Another conflict between a lion and a tiger occurred at New York City’s Bronx Zoo in 1914. The battle lasted much longer but had a similar result with the tiger eventually breaking the back of the lion.

    So, the short answer is that in battles between lions and tigers, tigers have generally held the upper hand and won fights.

    Can already see it.  Millwall scrape last Hull.  Meanwhile the Championships most in form team, Southampton will get kicked out for spying meaning they will play a Boro team in the final who won't have played for a month.

    Or the EFL disciplinary proceedings wind along at their usual (lack of) pace, Southampton beat both Boro and Millwall, and then lose their place for spying so Millwall go up instead.

    "A Southampton performance analyst is alleged to have recorded Middlesbrough training and taken pictures of tactics on Thursday morning. The alleged staff member was caught, deleted the footage and left the area, but the Teesside club were furious and later contacted the EFL."

    "Southampton Football Club has today been charged with a breach of EFL regulations, and the matter will be referred to an independent disciplinary commission," read an EFL statement released on Friday night."

    Glad I gave up after 10 minutes of that dirge. Millwall getting 3rd and nearly automatics (and having all those injuries earlier in the season) shows up that this league is not as strong as some people seem to believe. 
    Which means we were poor and that's why we need good recruitment for next season unless of course more teams get points deductions. 

    I know he's having his best season what with 17 goals (which when I read that I couldn't believe) but when I saw that Olly McBurnie was the main part of their strike force I knew they would struggle to score.

    Probably goes on more than we realise, can’t see it being anything more than a slap on the wrist…🤷‍♂️

    I don't think anyone needs to spy on one of Charlton's training sessions to work out what our tactics might be.

    With the amount of long balls we practice they'd have to do it via a U-2

    Léo Scienza seems a really interesting character from this SKY interview
    Didnt realise he's not had some standout career, and must have been some really decent scouting for Southampton to sign him

    Someone needs to clear this up for me:

    If Millwall churning out a 0-0 dirge draw means that the league is not strong then by that logic it means that playing fast attacking football should be successful.
    Yet, it is constantly argued on here that we play a dirge because it’s the best way to get points, and that by opening ourselves up by attacking would mean worse results. This argument is that teams  playing exciting football has no correlation to success or a strong league. 

    So why now the argument that Millwall’s dirge means that they are not a good team? We can’t laud Burnley’s clean sheets last season only to mock it when Millwall do it.

    Quite the year for Farai Hallam... A year ago he was taking charge of a Play-Off Semi-Final between Charlton and Wycombe in League One
    Today he's taking charge of a Play-Off Semi-Final in the Championship

    Playoff on one screen, Giro on the other, Guinness in the glass/fridge.  Perfecto.

    Looking a much better game already.  Saints will come out of this 1 goal up I reckon.
