Match Day Thread Fulham v Hull City FA Cup

Does it matter who plays. They all turn out brilliant under Marco. I can see Tom being rested, maybe. Maybe Daws too.

Pay on the day tomorrow. quid for U18's, what a good idea. 15 quid for seniors and 18-21's. We should do summat like that.

We'll win 3-2.

 

It could be a great game.

 

The former Lillie Bridge sports ground (situated near to where Stamford Bridge stadium is today) played host to the first ever amateur boxing matches in 1867. Cups for this were supplied by the Marquess of Queensberry, which is why the rules in boxing are called the Queensberry Rules.

The Lillie Bridge Grounds was the venue where British Amateur Athletics were born Founded in 1879.

Fulham FC is the oldest professional football team in London

The first British-grown examples of Tamarisk, Acacia, Mahogany and Maple trees were all grown in the gardens of Fulham Palace , summer residence of the Bishops of London? They were grown by Bishop Henry Compton (who held the post from 1675 to 1713), a noted botanist. One of his predecessors grew grapes there, some of which Elizabeth I ate.

Britains 1st speed bumps were installed on Linver Rd in Fulham in 1984.

Fulham, or in its earliest form "Fulanhamme", is thought to have signified the place either "place of fowls" or "of mud"

Approximately 5,000 years ago Neolithic people were living by the riverside and in other parts of the area.

Geoffrey de Havilland, aviation pioneer, built his first aeroplane at his workshop in Bothwell Street, Fulham in 1909

The latest edition (2008) of the Chambers Dictionary defines a fulham as 'a die loaded at the corner to ensure that certain numbers are thrown

The Hurlingham club is the historic home of polo in the United Kingdom and of the world governing body of polo.

Fulham Palace, the seat of the Bishops of London, has the part-excavated longest moat in England.

 

Anything but a replay please.

 

Resting Tom is a good shout

Marshall in for cup matches (why wasn't Jak on the bench against Mancs though?...something going on?!)

Keep Tymon in, play Omar and Marcovic for match fitness, start with Hernandez to get him used to balls from likes of Marcovic.

Silva to continue refusing to wave...to rapturous applause

Onwards and upwards

 

Last time we played them in the FA Cup(1975) it took 2 replays and we lost.

 

A Fulham reserve game was once alledgedly postponed in the early 1930's when around 1400 Canada Geese mistook the flooded Craven Cottage pitch for the nearby river and refused to leave.

 

Filbert street?

 

Correct.

 

Didn't realise Jak wasn't on the bench. Must be injured?

 

Let's hope that after tomorrow we are still in the F. A. Cup.


We've been knocked out of the Littlewoods Coca Cola wotsit.

We remain in the relegation zone.

We've lost a significant proportion of our most experienced players.


Marco Silva - saviour?

Maybe.

 

Wolves 2-0 up at Anfield. Looking more and more like a perfect time to play Liverpool next week.

 

Don't know
Was just surprised it wasn't mentioned at all
Kuciak was on the bench instead

 

0-5 to us. Even with Marshall in goal.

We're a black n amber wrecking ball about to wreak havoc in the FA Cup and the PL.

You Ull.

 

We beat Manchester United

 

I'd chuck Kuciak in goal. Rest Thudd, play whoever else. Can see Markovic and Omar starting.

 

Fulham got to the final but were so close to going out to us. In the first replay at Boothferry Park we went ahead in injury time of the 2nd half but Fulham went down the other end and equalised.

 

Might still have that programme.
