Evening all. Is this on TV? Chelsea away to Hull so nothing to do with them. If not on TV, why 12:45?
Not listed as being on Sky. They have Swansea v Liverpool. I can therefore only assume they're expecting some chino-based violence. I'm wearing a dinner suit for the occasion.
Fortunately not. They've got United v Stoke the following day though so maybe Hughes' Battle of Little Big Horn.
I heard that Adel is taking his driving test to become a bus driver around Fulham around that time and the bus company are worried he might have a strop and disappear off with it....
Have we sold many tickets? Can't bring myself to go. They've lost so many on the spin you can smell what's coming
I've got a ticket but not sure if I'll go for the reasons mentioned above. I wasn't going to go yesterday but it got to 12:00 pm and decided I would, I'm glad I did, I think. The problem with following a club like ours is that you have to suffer the constant lows to enjoy the rare highs. If you don't go and you miss one of the highs ( Chelsea 1-0 away for example ) the next one may be a long time in coming. We've been bashed at Fulham more than Wayne Sleep's bum flaps for the last 40 odd years, but maybe next Saturday will be the one when you get to say 'I was there.'
The law of averages state that every dog has it's day Jeff, it may well be another spanking and as soon as that becomes evident I can leave and go and have a pint in my first ever local ( The Durell Arms. ) Hopefully that won't be the case though and SLF and JFH make the players aware of the recent results and history of this game and respond in the right manner to reflect this. Especially as Fulham look more tender than us at the moment.
I looked a couple of days ago. The first and only game I can find listed through to December for TV since Leeds is the Home game with Brentford at the end of October. Makes a long time not seeing what I spend most time thinking about, and pouring over highlights. Maybe I need to get Player and watch the games late! I hate being in the Championship.
I've still got two to buy. Shame really. If we were looking remotely decent we'd have 3000 there. If were near the top I'd expect 4-5000. A win at Burton (unlikely) and plenty more will go I expect.
The last four times i've seen us play Fulham, we've been down 3-0 at half time. Couldn't happen a fifth time for me could it?
I'd completely forgotten the 4-0 last year ever happened. Both that and the 6-0 were obviously appalling but the one we lost 3-2 under 'arry when Remy missed a penalty possibly was the worst because we really should have won. It was the nadir for Chris Samba if I recall.
