This was originally an article intended for NOLU written just after the AFC game. As it was, another contributor beat me to the punch and wrote a very similar article. Ratehr than re-hash it, or let it go to complete waste, I thought it may be a good one to kick off my HoF article posting career.

And so there we have it. A season that promised so little in August, came within 20 minutes of being one of the most amazing we have ever seen.
I remember reading HoF back in the summer and feeling that the general consensus was that mid table was the best we could hope for but what we wanted to see was an improvement – the team heading in the right direction. We had made a small number of signings and there was the late loan deal for Tresor Kandol but nothing to really get excited about.

But what do you do when you’re one of the old school, working twelve hours a day back in the seventies and finding the demands of a young child a hell of a lot more than you bargained for?

NOLU doesn’t normally do politics. As a rule, we take the view that you’ve got your views, we’ve got ours – and somewhere in the middle we meet at Zampa Road every other Saturday afternoon. Sometimes though, certain events drag you away from the comfy middle of the road. Away from the subject of football. Away even from our beloved Lions themselves. Sometimes the hard truth that there are things more important than Millwall get shoved under your nose whether you like it or not.

The events of the last few weeks have left me recalling past experiences that I can draw parallel with in an attempt to make some sense of all that is going on. People's ...

Well it's five days on now and I've had all I can take.

On Friday, my response to taunts such as "are you out on bail", was a comparatively light "don't be silly". ...
