There hasn't been much to cheer about in South London recently what with the goings on with Crystal Palace falling into administration but today there was a reason to be cheerful.
They will be dancing in the streets of Millwall today as they beat Swindon Town 1-0 in the League One Play-Off Final at Wembley. Captain Paul Robinson was the man to send the Lions roaring into the Championship but I can't help but think the Police are looking at the new season with a slight element of dread.
Next season in The Championship we will have Millwall, Leeds United and Cardiff City all going for promotion and there isn't much love lost between these 3 clubs so the league meetings will prove to be "interesting". I'm just glad they weren't joined by West Ham next season!!!!
Good Luck To The Daggers
So we know the winners of the Championship and League One Play-Offs so all we need now is to find out who will win the League Two Play-Offs.
I want to wish the mighty Dagenham and Redbridge all the best for tomorrow. They have achieved so much on less than a shoestring budget and if they can get into League One then that would be a magnificent achievement. I know there is a massive following heading to Wembley tomorrow I just hope the players can put in one more sensational performance and who knows, maybe next year the Victoria Ground could be hosting a massive club like Sheffield Wednesday in a League Fixture
Eurovision Woe
I have to end this with a rant. 10 points, thats what we got, 10 measly points. Was our song really that bad. Yeah it was never going to win but come on, was it really the worst song there. Look at the Russian song, that was awful and also, what happened to the 6/4 favorite Azerbaijan. Apparently they threw money at it this year getting people in that had worked with all the major acts, and the Backstreet Boys but they finished a mile behind the Germans. I wonder how much the UK puts into this contest. Maybe its time to save the embarrassment and licence money and pull out. UK finished bottom of the Great Britain league. I hoped we might win that. It was the UK, Ireland, Cyprus (who was Welsh) and Portugal (the singer lives in London but this is how that table looked:
Portugal - 43 points
Cyprus - 27
Ireland - 25
United Kingdom - 10
No doubt we will all be tuning in to Germany 2011 ready for more humilitation but there is a plus point. Taking away Jemini's nil point from 2003 the previous time we scored less than 10 was in 1966 and we all know what happened a couple of months later.
