    Good preview. Although, it's incorrect to state we have reached the FA Cup Semi-Finals on three occasions. It's actually five - 1900, 1903, 1937, 2004 and 2013.

    I even reckon I know they've got it wrong - I bet they used the otherwise excellent European football statistics site. Unfortunately they only record achievements from when a club joined the Football League. This is especially unfortunate for Millwall, as it overlooks the fact that Millwall were the dominant force in the Southern League - a League on a par with the FL Division Two and lower reaches of Division One.

    Also, I'e mentioned on here before that Millwall actually earned their nickname of Lions in those days. Before defeating the mighty Aston Villa side of the era 2-1 in the 1900 QFs they were known as the Dockers.

    Are you lot bothered about this game?

    I would guess it's going to be a weakened side. Three 23s have travelled.
