Well,it,s back to normal.....after a hell of week,with people knowing how to avoid clashes between wankspank and Millwall,by playing behind closed doors,putting the balls back when we where drawn togheter and more of that "sensible" talk.

Wankham- mighty MILLWALL
Fighting began around the stadium almost two hours before kick-off
A man has been stabbed in the chest during "large-scale trouble" involving hundreds of fans at West Ham's Carling Cup match against Millwall.
Fights broke out at 1800 BST and were still raging five hours later. A 44-year-old man is stable after being stabbed in Priory Road at 2025 BST.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said missiles had been thrown at officers but none were injured.
Inside Upton Park stadium West Ham fans invaded the pitch three times.
By 2300 BST several hundred West Ham fans had congregated outside the stadium chanting and bombarding police with crates and bottles.
The first pitch invasion was after West Ham's equaliser, while the second more serious invasion happened after they scored a penalty.
It took officials about six minutes to clear about 50 people from the pitch and police had to redeploy within the stadium to tackle the invasion.
West Ham won the game 3-1 after extra time, upon which there was a third invasion by hundreds of fans.
About 200 riot police and at least 20 mounted officers were at the ground and a police helicopter circled the area.
The Press Association quoted an unnamed 19-year-old saying he saw a police officer being kicked on the ground.
The police spokesman said: "There is large-scale trouble involving hundreds of fans which we are dealing with at the moment.
About 50 fans invaded the pitch after West Ham equalised
"Officers are now containing it but there is still disorder. Hundreds of fans are estimated to be involved."
One pub reportedly had its windows broken by bricks during running battles across several streets up to half a mile from the stadium.
Eyewitnesses told of hooligans trying to rip out bollards and lighting "small fires".
Five arrests have been confirmed, including one for affray and one for breaching a banning order.
BBC radio reporter Ben Jacobs, who was at the stadium, said: "The trouble broke out outside the Tube station about 600 yards from the ground.
"There were [hundreds of] riot police and Millwall fans managed to break through the divide."
'Really intimidating'
Tony, a steward at the game, told BBC Radio 5 live they were powerless to stop the violence.
He said: "When you have 2,900 Millwall fans it is really intimidating.
"There is not a lot you can do - you have to hope the police presence can help you out."
There were loads of people with bloodied faces
Local shop owner
A 29-year-old man had to close his kebab shop in nearby Green Street for two hours.
He said: "All hell broke loose - it was very frightening.
"Bottles and bricks were being thrown from the back and some were hitting West Ham fans at the front.
"There were loads of people with bloodied faces."
Aaron Smith, from Hemel Hempstead, who was at the game, said: "I saw one man cornered by at least a dozen Millwall fans before kick-off. Terrifying scenes."
And a Millwall fan told the BBC: "It was like a war zone outside the stadium. There was fighting all round.
"I brought my kids with me tonight and they've seen some violence that is indescribable."
A Football Association spokesman said: "We absolutely condemn the disorder.
"We expect all culprits to be banned from football for life - they have no place in our game."

My matchreport
My view on the match:
1st half: very,very,very SHIT! even more shit than that!
2nd half: We played more dangerous,Hackett did very well had ideas and brought some balls in the box. Forde did very well and to be honoust I think he saved us 1 point.
Our new loany mr Friend...slow as fuck,not my favourite man.
We could have taken all 3 points,we also could have easilly lost the match,I think a draw was a deserved result for both teams,but as I don,t give a fuck about Shrimpers,we had to win!!!!

Southend - Millwall 0 - 0
Southend and Millwall remain unbeaten in League One after playing out a goalless draw at Roots Hall.
The Lions went for an attacking 4-3-3 formation in the first half but had little to show for it apart from an early George Friend header which was straight at Shrimpers goalkeeper Steve Mildenhall.
Instead it was Southend, playing in their usual 4-4-2 formation, who created the better chances.
Lee Barnard's angled shot from the edge of the box was pushed over for a corner by David Forde, with the Millwall goalkeeper finishing the half with a fine stop to keep out Jean-Francois Christophe's bullet header from a Simon Francis free-kick.
Kenny Jackett brought on Neil Harris to partner Gary Alexander in a 4-4-2 line-up for the start of the second half and saw the substitute head just wide.
Millwall nearly made the breakthrough on the hour when Alexander's header hit the crossbar before Tony Craig hooked his follow-up out of play.
Southend replied with Alex Revell firing just wide before the visitors saw Andy Frampton's late header blocked by Mildenhall - Alexander's rebound was hacked off the line.

First league win
Lions clinch first win
Millwall recorded their first league win of the season with a 2-0 victory over Oldham at the New Den.
Goals from David Martin and Neil Harris - his fourth in as many games this campaign - saw a tetchy game go the way of the Lions.
Kenny Jackett's side scored with their first meaningful attack as former Crystal Palace winger Martin smashed the ball home off the underside of the crossbar after Steve Morison had flicked on Jack Smith's 12th-minute cross.
After Morison wasted a three-on-one opportunities to put Millwall further ahead, Pawel Abbott spurned the chance to equalise from the penalty spot.
Returning skipper Tony Craig was adjudged to have brought down Andy Holdsworth but David Forde superbly leapt to his right to save the former Darlington striker's weak effort after 28 minutes.
With tackles flying in all over the pitch, Oldham threatened as Forde palmed clear Keigan Parker's effort after Abbott's pass set the winger through.
Half-time substitute Harris came close with a pair of headers at the start of the second half but clinched the points in injury time, nodding home Jason Price's centre.

Barnet @way for JPT
League 1 again........
After a week of cup draw emotions with ticket allocations split in half and Millwall complaining due to the fact of that,you would almost forget that we HAVE TO WIN in order to get on course for the automatic promotion,I know it,s a long way but every point we get is welcome,today it,s the Scotts that visit The Den.
Millwall will add George Friend to their squad for the visit of Carlisle.
The Wolves defender has arrived in south London on a one-month loan deal to ease a defensive injury crisis which has accounted for Paul Robinson, Zak Whitbread, Tony Craig, Danny Senda and Pat O`Connor.
Skipper Robinson is still recovering from the metatarsal injury he suffered last term and fellow centre-half Whitbread has a hip problem.
Craig is still sidelined with back trouble while O`Connor (knee) and Senda (Achilles) are long-term absentees.
The Lions will check on striker Jason Price, who missed the 4-0 Carling Cup win over Bournemouth in midweek with a dead leg.
Neil Harris will hope to keep his place after a sparkling hat-trick against the Cherries.
Carlisle will be without the services of Paul Thirlwell and Peter Murphy for the trip south.
Midfielder Thirlwell suffered a dead leg in last weekend's defeat to Brentford and a date has yet to be put on his comeback while defender Murphy strained his groin in training on Thursday and has not travelled to London.
Teenage defender Simon Lakeland remains sidelined with a partial tear in his medial ligament and is set for a further three months out but there is better news for Jamie Cleary, who is close to resuming training after a similar injury.
Experienced striker Scott Dobie will be hoping to get the nod in attack after scoring the only goal in the Carling Cup win over Oldham in midweek.

Millwall draw a Premier League side out of the hat - West Ham!
MILLWALL will make the journey to West Ham later this month in the Carling Cup having seen off Bournemouth 4-0 in the first round last night.
The two sides have not met since April 2005 when the spoils were shared at Upton Park in a 1-1 draw, with Barry Hayles and Marlon Harewood the scorers.
The tie will be played on Wednesday August 26, subject to TV scheduling.
Millwall managing director Andy Ambler said: "This is a chance for Kenny Jackett's emerging side to test themselves against Premier League opposition.
"We are all looking forward to his squad showing off what they can do - though our players will be looking forward to it more than theirs will. I would like to think the TV cameras will want to be there because it is a long time since we played each other.
"We have a very experienced security team who are used to staging these sorts of games and we will make sure the match passes off with as little disruption to fans and the community as possible."
Carling Cup draw
The Carling Cup second round draw will take place on Wednesday evening, after the last three first-round games have been completed.
The 35 first-round winners are joined by Middlesbrough and Newcastle who had first-round byes, and the 13 Premier League clubs not playing in Europe.
The 25 highest-ranked clubs, based on last season's league places, have been seeded and so cannot face each other.
However, there is no geographical north/south split in this round.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seeded teams for second round draw:
Birmingham, Blackburn, Bolton, Bristol City, Burnley, Cardiff, Hull, Ipswich, Manchester City, Middlesbrough, Newcastle, Portsmouth, Preston, QPR, Reading, Sheffield Wednesday, Stoke, Sunderland, Swansea, Tottenham, Watford, West Bromwich Albion, West Ham, Wigan, Wolves.

Harris Hat trick
Neil Harris scored a stunning hat trick as Millwall thrashed sorry Bournemouth in the Carling Cup first round at the New Den.
The veteran striker – the Lions' record goal scorer – took full advantage of some loose defending as the League Two visitors were outclassed in all departments.
After Chris Hackett's superb run from midfield created a chance for Gary Alexander to expertly volley home from 18-yards on 31, Harris poked home Millwall's second and his first seven minutes later.
Then Harris took over after the break with two stunning finishes in five second half minutes.
When a crisp one-two with Alexander set him clear after 68 minutes, the veteran striker guided the ball home and then he sent the home crowd into raptures with a stunning right-foot volley into the top corner.
The Lions dominated early, without creating any real openings, full back Alan Dunne setting the tone with a 20-yard drive after four minutes.
Burly midfielder Ali Fuseini came closest to opening the scoring in the 23rd minute when Jalal expertly tipped his long-range drive round the post.
Pacy winger Liam Feeney was the visitors' chief threat, creating a chance for former Lion Sammy Igoe, but Alan Dunne bravely blocked his snap-shot in the 16th minute.
Lee Bradbury – the striker filling in a right back – poked a difficult chance over the bar a minute after Harris' second after a long-throw but the Cherries did not look like scoring before the break.
Bournemouth forward Brett Pitman – last season's leading marksman – nearly pulled a goal back on 50 but his low shot curled a yard wide.
Jimmy Abdou should have added a third just after the hour, but the energetic midfielder somehow volleyed over from 6-yards.
However, Harris soon settled any lingering doubts of a Bournemouth comeback, securing the match-ball with real class.

Molesley: I was going to wear my West Ham shirt!
AFC Bournemouth midfielder Mark Molesley has joked that he might wear a West Ham United shirt underneath his Cherries strip at Millwall on Tuesday night.
Molesley originally from London, has been to the Den before, but as a supporter to watch his childhood team West Ham.
Returning to play against them is something Molesley is looking forward too and he told the Daily Echo...
"When the draw was made, I joked with some of the lads that I was going to wear my West Ham shirt under my Bournemouth one but I don`t think it would be a very good idea...'
'...It`s a great draw for us and we are all looking forward to it. You always look out for the cup draws to see who you are going to get and Millwall is a good fixture for us.
"It will give us a chance to pit our wits against so-called bigger opposition. We always seem to do well against the better teams so it might suit us."

Southampton 1 - Millwall F.C. 1
Saints held on League One debut
Southampton's Swiss revolution got off to a faltering start as they were held to a 1-1 draw by League One promotion hopefuls Millwall at St Mary's Stadium.
In a first half of few chances it was Saints, buoyed by the recent takeover of Swiss billionaire Marcus Liebherr, who looked most threatening, with midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin twice testing Millwall goalkeeper David Forde from long-range chipped efforts.
Millwall, as ever backed by vocal travelling support, played at a high tempo but rarely troubled Saints` defence.
After the cagey opening period the second half began with a flourish and five minutes after the restart Southampton were ahead, teenage striker Matt Paterson staying onside to finish coolly from six yards.
The home side failed to build on their lead and 15 minutes later Millwall were level.
After being awarded a soft penalty in the 64th minute for a push on Jason Price, Gary Alexander spurned the chance to equalise, his tame penalty being saved by Saints stopper Kelvin Davis.
The brace of corners following Davis's penalty stop had the Southampton defence in disarray and the second set piece saw midfielder Nadjim Abdou loop a header over Davis from 12 yards to secure a point for the Lions.

Doumbe set to join MK Dons
MILLWALL triallist Mathias Doumbe looks set to join MK Dons after having his contract terminated by Plymouth.
The 29-year-old centre-back was offered a two-year contract by Lions boss Kenny Jackett on his Plymouth wages but looks set to be offered higher pay by Paul Ince.
Doumbe had impressed during a week-long trial at The Den, playing as first a right-sided then a left-sided centre-back in Richard Sadlier's benefit match last Saturday, the 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough.
Jackett told tonight's fans forum: "He is half a centre-half and half a right-back, but size-wise he looks like more of a right-back to me.
"I made him an offer but it looks like he is going to MK Dons."
