When the players started to fail to play to the Ref's whistle VAR was brought in to get over any issues whether it was offside, over the line and all the other borderline decisions. Now this has to my mind totally ruined the flow and continuity and rhymn of play, it also allows fleeting seconds for the losing side to talk and get their act together. I've seen several matches restarted and things turned around for the side losing at the time going on to win. VAR should be given the boot, but it won't be mores the pity.

George came on as a sub for Chelsea on Saturday, and he didn't look too impressive, and he was subbed later, as he did bugger all. We might as well have signed Charlie George, as his age qualifies him ! !

We are in the bottom three, thanks to VAR. Khan’s should sue the Premier League for gross incompetence. Unfortunately I think we are in for a rough season - i hope that I am wrong.

We be fine, played pretty well for start of season and could easily have been 5 more points on 2 so far

I agree that we should have 5 more points, but the fact is we haven't, and we only have 2, with no wins, and we are in the drop zone already, and as yet, despite rumours, we have still NOT, signed a soul, apart from a second rate goalkeeper. A little bit worried at the moment, but maybe by 7pm, we might be a bit happier.

I know it's only after 3 games, and as everybody knows, we have been robbed by VAR, and two bad referee's decisions, but I don't like seeing us sitting in the bottom 3 of the table, at any time in the season however temporary. As you are aware I live in Sussex among quite a few Brighton fans, and I was sympathizing with them last week and they were in the same position. However by beating City yesterday, they are halfway up the table. However if for some inconceivable reason, we don't win our next two home games, then we could find ourselves in a tricky start to the season. Unfortunately we now have one of these silly international breaks at the start of the season, which is fixture madness.

Age 26 and Nigerian and it looks like a loan deal or a part money with add-ons. As MST pointed out, internationals are a big concern if all our guys are called up at once. Samuel is a right-sided winger and he is down as a striker but he comes with a limited amount of goals. Any striker with a 20 goal ratio would come with a much higher fee than the 20 odd million these days and i think Samual has scope and maybe we have the next Loui Saha? 7-10 Goals is a touch lean for a striker and it looks like Samuel and goal stats are in the same category as Muniz. Fulham as a small club need to take these gambles and think outside the box. It is a long time since we had a striker in the Dembele or Saha mode and maybe Samuel will go on to become our next goal-getter machine. If all else fails, we will have another player who is good for 7-10 goals which helps us to stay in this league.
Replies
LOL reply to my own post again! Raheem Sterling is also on our radar and he is a right sided winger so maybe Marco has a plan for Samuel to play as striker?
posted by OWEN - Sunday 31st August 2025, 8:12 PM
 
He’s a winger who’s not played striker a lot Milan played him there because they use wing backs. In Spain before they signed him was a big success as winger and scored more goals in that position, Fulham are hoping for his Spain form after a hard time in Milan

You couldn't make it up, a Brazilian player called Kevin? And for the princely sum of 34million, that's the price for an Atcam missile isn't it? Seriously Kevin is really decent technically and we have a serious weapon left that is a direct replacement for Willian and he is 22 and i think he will sell on for triple the 34m if he continues to improve and most importantly score goals. My only concern with our Kev is will he pass the ball a few times in a game lol, he looks a touch ball greedy but hey' what a technician! I reckon Sky Sports will give us a bit more coverage now we signed our KEV!!! COME ON FULHAM!!! Hey' what is happening with our Chairman Khan giving out chump change to sign Kevin?

Next phase of var will be each team allowed a legal avisor in same cabin as var referee. Using A I. jurisprudence will be applied to any similar cases during which time tea and Scones will be served to the crowd.As a consecuence, fifa and uefa will consider adopting the 5 day test match system.Yesterday was absolute cruelty .

Great news from pgmol that Howard Webb has apologized to Fulham for mistake made by var and officials for disallowed goal. Fantastic after the day after 5he event and costing Fulham a possible three points, as long as it helped chelscum on the day to a win. The referee and var officials should be suspended for incompetence.

What good is an apology? Hope it means these incompetent officials never darken our door again. Honestly believe the game should be replayed. We didn't deserve to lose and Chelsea didn't deserve to win so the 3 points should be quashed and game replayed, it's the only fair solution

It has ever been the case that referees get castigated by one set of fans or the other. The quality has, I suspect, always been questionable and the existence of linesmen has registered one up from completely pointless and irrelevant. However, yesterday saw a new low in the management of games, with VAR taking precedence over the on field official. Without VAR the ‘foul’ by Muniz just would not have registered. As any sensible football fan knows this was just a coming together not an intentional foul, the game is littered with them and you take the rough with the smooth. The fact that it took, I don’t know how many minutes to decide if it was or wasn’t is a strong indication that in VAR we have created a monster that is slowly but surely destroying the game. The final decision on Sessingnon’s handball similarly took an age. Seems to me the on field referee is now totally obsolete. Not sure where it will end but I for one and rapidly falling out of love with a game I’ve followed for too many years to recall. RIP.
Replies
Bid decisions always go to the big teams especially at home , they always have . Referees are intimidated by large crowds . But VAR is administered by men in an office miles away from the ground with no intimidation , yet they over turn on field decisions by searching for possible reasons to aide the big teams. Maybe there is corruption when millions of pounds are at stake or is it a coincidence that the small teams get the raw end of the vast majority of these decisions.
posted by Brain Doctor (Guest) - Sunday 31st August 2025, 12:31 PM
 
I think most people are castigating VAR not refs. The extra extra time in most matches is extended if something happens in extra time that makes it makes in necessary to extend. I did not see any such thing. When Chelsea took their corner the ref should have blown the whistle but he said to himself I might as well let them take the next corner or else the manager will complain. As far as their penalty is concerned, before Sess handled the ball, Iwobi has his foot trodden on, Anderson was pushed and a Chelsea player handled the ball. On another day we could have been leading at halftime and a young man on our side would not be feeling as bitterly disappointed as he must be now. Marco will do his best to get the player to move on from that travesty of a match but he will find it one of the most difficult things he has ever done as he feels the same as the players as does most of the media.
posted by The Time Is Now - Sunday 31st August 2025, 12:56 PM
 
That's because refs have no balls anymore, or are not allowed to have any. Remember Clive Thomas blowing the whistle as Brazil took the corner in 1978. They scored, he said no Boyo, whistles already gone. Can you imagine what would happen if someone did that today?

With regret getting disillusioned with football not the game I have watched for 70;years every thing I loved about the game has gone can’t think of one thing that has improved probably will call it a day if we are relegated or khan flogs club ( mind you life without var would make watching a bit more enjoyable plus not meeting the usual top three that buy anything on two legs that scores 15 goals a year and pays 60;mill for it and has a squad with three players for every position and seem to find cash at will and don’t get punished for ffp breaches

I fought when VAR came in it would make the game fairer. The pressure to give the big clubs decisions would be helped by looking at it again on VAR it’s not happening, it’s got worse. There is a consistency the big clubs get fouls the small clubs don’t get Bassey got pushed in back v Utd . Not saying maybe if given a little bit soft , but but big clubs get lease . I could name loads and not just for Fulham. If Chelsea had scored the King goal it would never had been looked at. Even the pen yes it hit Ryan hand but before that Iwobi was stamped on Andersen pushed in back hit Pedro hand. Fulham would never got penalties in them conditions
Replies
The automatic system that determines offside in VAR should be retained, nobody argues with that. Everything else should be scraped and the ref should be allowed to get on with his job mistakes and all. I cannot remember anything as bad as yesterday pre VAR. If a ref does not give a free kick or a penalty that should be the end of it.

Might make some think again about joining us . I know early days and you cant really sense the season until 10 games but shows the advantage ( one of many ) of getting signings in early . Thought we played well first half against Chelsea , but didnt create much in 2nd . Obvious to most we need 3/4 good signings , esp if we are going to lose two key players for Africa Cup period . Marco can only do so much without backing .
Replies
System broke down because we are chasing the game 2-0 down after a decent enough effort and that's football sometimes. I personally only want players who want to come to Fulham and i only know of one in the pipeline but i am confident there are more players that will jump at a chance to come to London SW6. It is a nonsensical myth that players would rather go to Newcastle and up north and players know that they can't all sign for the big clubs. I have nothing to criticise until after 1st September because the transfer process is a little bit more complicated if say a player is on a massive wage like say 300 grand a week. We all know that we can't afford that and agreements surrounding contracts will have to be sorted, thats all i know which isn't much. Marco Silva still looks up for it and he loves Fulham. Silva has tasted and sampled bigger budgets and clubs and it has never worked out in his favour. He is paid 6 million plus which is not the top wage but it still is a fantastic sum of money for managing Fulham. Marco Silva is fast gaining a reputation for getting the best from average players so anyone who comes to Fulham is okay by me under Marco...

Another nail on th3 coffin for me I’m getting increasingly fed up with football everything do predictable. The big boys seem to have limitless amounts to spend on the field var seems contrived for the big boys to get the verdict if they have to dissect every little incident to attain it yesterday case in point ffc disallowed goal bad decision penalty I saw two handballs there neither should have stood ludicrous half time add on ( appranantly. Refs discretion that’s ok but seems when there’s not a corner involved they blow bang on time choice of refs questionable think this refs had his moments with us did not expect much from first 3 games so no disappointment on that front wish we could get some var luck hopefully ours season should get going in the next month still believe when we are on our game we can beat with luck anybody thought second half we was a bit subdued

Putting our subs on was not going to change the match as the players were upset badly by the VAR and Ref nonsense of the first half which had completely negated our tactical control of Chelsea in the first half.

Chelsea have always been lucky and they certainly had all the luck today and that includes var and the ref. Ref Rob Jones is decent enough but today i thought that he owed us one in that he could have overruled the penalty decision from Sessegnon because they handballed before Sess put his arm up for a penalty. If we were guilty of anything first half is the lapse of concentration in the 9th minute of extra time for their first and that equates to a minute over 8 minutes allowance. Marco Silva was told to walk away from ref Jones at half time and he was livid. Fisrt positive was our boy Josh King and what a spoiler for the lad who scored his first goal in a top game like this one, king brilliantly got the better of Tosin can you believe it and we should have gone in 1-0 up at half time. Muniz some people say is not prem quality but i and lots of football people will have to disagree with that one, Muniz played that 9 role brilliantly and he gave them problems. Muniz did nothing intentionally wrong when he spun away from his marker and even Joe Cole agreed. Muniz is another positive to take from this game. Traore i will say is my third positive and he came on when we were chasing the game and by then Marco's game-plan goes out the window but Traore did deliver a perfectly decent cross into Jimenez who could and should have buried that one for 2-1 and then the game is different. Leno is a top keeper and no fault for the first which we should have helped covered, Leno did some vital saves to keep it at 2-0. We have 3 winnable games coming up Leeds (H) Brentford (H) and Villa (A) and even without additions, we look decent and there are no worries im my camp. Willian was a no-no when first signed for Fulham but he was brilliant and but not so good second time of asking. I have no doubt and i feel Raheem Sterling at the age of 30 will be a fantastic signing. We need players that want to come here and Sterling wants to stay in London and he wants Fulham so that is a positive! We get Sterling and whoever and we are good for a top 8 finish and i am confident about that. Every player has a good game and sometimes a bad one and over a season it will pan out okay for us, just believe in Marco and Fulham...

When we saw the first three fixtures that we had to start the season with, let's be honest, how many of us expected more than 1 point, if we were lucky, but in actual fact we should be sitting here with at least 3 points, but luck and VAR haven't been our friends. However, even without any additional signings, we should still finish in the top 10, with even something in our trophy cabinet, as despite our start, we are still a really good and talented side. Hopefully Liverpool haven't noticed Josh King ! !
Replies
Josh King's best game ever for seniors and he should be celebrating his first goal. I agree even without additional signings we look good enough. Muniz also brilliant in that number nine role and Traore with his pace put over the perfect cross only for Jimenez to fluff it for 2-1 and then who knows? Bring in Raheem Sterling for me, he will be decent at 30 years old and he wants to come which is a bonus...

One improvement the could make in VAR is to only look at the last pass and the goal nothing else. Look at it quickly if it take more than 10 second the ref's decision should stand. I do not see looking at the same thing for 20 times can improve the decision. a quick decision should be the best one.

Two tier officiating. The whole country is a disgrace and this is a metaphor for it.

How can that be a deliberate foul. Yet another week and yet another dreadful decision which may possibly cost us the game. VAR and officials are cheats, if that would have been the other way round goal definitely would have stood. The second game running and we are cheated by VAR and officials with decisions yet again going the way of so called bigger teams. Was not given as foul originally, and nothing Muniz could do to miss so called foul.

More media rumours that our owner is looking to sell the club within the next couple of years. This is supported by behaviour in transfer window, this lack of investment will continue over the next few windows, the squad will depleted but just enough will be given to stay in the PL. Our ageing squad will not change. Silva sees this and he will leave, the club saving any money on a severance, a cheap replacement will arrive.

If the Khans sell the club, which isn't impossible, and Marco moves on, under the new owners, then we will be back in the Championship, before we know it, but we will lose supporters and ST holders in their droves. In other words Fulham to my mind, will be finished as a club to attach yourself to, and that would include me. We have worked so hard as a club, to establish ourselves in the Premier League, that to throw it all away, would be a complete disaster.

I like you Bish just don’t understand the financial rules governing the PFL. I assume that if rules are broken then the clubs will be fined. What I can’t understand is that if clubs benefit from breaking the rules why are they not docked points and places which have been gained as a result of those infractions. Fulham seem to be taking extreme steps to avoid breaking the rules by simply refusing to spend any money.:)) Simple.

This is a competitive local derby and Marco Silva will be focused and up for this one make no mistake. Marco Silva has a job to do and there is no distraction about transfers or none non-activities about transfers per say. Chelsea are not Man Utd or a club in chaos, they had a good pr-season and they score a lot of goals. There will be a plan and we stick to it or we go down in flames. We have a chance of beating them and i think players like Traore with his pace, will be useful. Throw in Smith Rowe into the mix exactly how he ghosted in to score against Man Utd, this is how we want Smith Rowe to operate. Chelsea obviously have good players that can slip our defences and we have to have focus throughout 90 minutes plus which will be very difficult but such is life. Enzo Maresca is young and ambitious and hungry to win more trophies now more than ever. Marco Silva will have to come up with a master plan and we know he can do this as he demonstrated against Man Utd. Good game either way for the neutrals me-thinks and rather than losing lets go for a draw if we dont win...

Don’t blame Marco for continuing to moan about the lack of new signings or incomings. If we are led to believe that targets and transfers were discussed in January then why has nothing happened to date. This transfer window has been a joke, with only a number 2 keeper being added, who, after watching Tuesday doesn’t look inspirational. Another line keeper who doesn’t command 6 yard area and was beaten twice,albeit offside goals. We wait with bated breath as to what happens in the next couple of days. Must be a couple of cheap journey men available.

To say that I'm up to my back teeth in being exceptionally annoyed over the way our club seems an absolutely chaotic shambles, when it comes to strengthen our squad. On Sky's transfer show, they interviewed quite a lot of Premier League managers, about players coming in, but one manager notable by his absence, was of course our Marco. Sometimes I wonder why I bother to follow our club, then spend a lot of money on a ST, when us supporters are being badly let down by the Khans. This season could be the last one, that bother to even follow our club, unless out of the blue, we suddenly make a couple of decent signings, but I am not full of any great hope, and it it is honestly making me feel very down at present.
posted by THE CRAVEN (Guest) - Friday 29th August 2025, 6:36 PM
 
Craven, like you, I follow the transfer window on Sky, full of hopes that there might be a hint of a signing or two, but all that is mentioned, is the same old story, linking us with Kevin. From what we hear, he is certainly not worth the fee that they are asking for, but he seems our last hope. When I see every other clubs in the Premier League being involved in the transfer market, I feel really jealous, and I feel that our Fulham, are becoming a real laughing stock up until now. Even bees supporters, must be sniggering, and for once I can't blame them.

Someone correct me if i am wrong after watching the first half against Bristol City then falling asleep. Traore i thought had a decent game and his pace and assist for the first goal was brilliant as usual, did Traore perform badly second half? Smith Rowe was brilliant against Man Utd and a fantastic goal but maybe not his best position featuring for Bristol, Smith Rowe is less effective coming off the wing. Muniz did great against Brighton and now not a prem player. Leno not the greatest at commanding his area because not tall enough is not nice. I sat directly behind Leno against Everton and yes he could do with a beefing up and add on a few pounds but he is decent enough for us, i can't see a problem. Yes' i do the criticism too loads and Castagne i think that sometimes he is tapped for pace from the quicker flankers but the truth is that Castagne did a fantastic job in the absence of Tete injured. We are not perfect by any means, and I guarantee you that every player for Fulham will have their bad hair day before something clicks against whatever team. Depending on Marco's tactics, every Fulham player will look very ordinary sometimes. Just like horses for courses. We did a great job with the highest points tally for years and we continue to punch above our weight with players that will never be top class. We have Marco Silva to thank for his getting the best from a average bunch of players to come to Fulham. Amorim at Utd is under more scrutiny and pressure because Utd are on a bigger budget and more is expected from a bigger club than ours...

Sometimes I wish I was a Chelsea supporter, which of course I am not, but they are signing yet another player today for another big fee, and that is Garnacho from Manure United. Meanwhile, we are still sitting on our hands, with not even a slight rumour, as to who we might sign. It is now getting to close for comfort to Mondays deadline. I suppose even with no signings at all, we could probably avoid relegation, but how nice for us all if we could just get one new face to join our squad.
Replies
We needed a Mctominay when he was available but for one reason or another we couldn't sign him and besides, the usual story from us was that he isn't good enough for Fulham. Garnacho would suit us much more than Chelsea i think because they have to many players but we cannot afford him and his wages. There are plaenty enough players out there especially from Chelsea and Man utd but we know the difficulty and dynamics in signing players from these bigger clubs. Give it a few days and we will have signings. Sterling looks to be one of them and this is the calibre of player we can sign on a free. We didn't have the worst start to our season and maybe we can gauge the situation a lot better up to Xmas and get in on the jan transfer if we are not where we want to be...

Read the Daily Mail headline on the back page today. The answer simply is YES. The problem for Manchester United is that when they go out to play they are too affraid of losing to win! All confidence has been lost in their Manager Ruben Amorin who tore into the Old Trafford dressing room and failed to gain the confidence of his players. Indeed he failed this season to sign the one player he was hired to bring to United when Viktor Goykeres signed for Arsenal, who was his main man at Sporting Lisbon. United have appointed no less than nine managers since the departure of Sir Alec Fergerson (their most successful Manager ever, NOW banned from the stadium) Meanwhile David Moyes, who was appointed to follow Sir Alec was at home with his Everton team beating Mansfield without the need of penalties. What if they had given him more time?

Yes we won the match, but it was pretty boring, and what a poor performance it turned out to be. Troare, who I once really rated, had a dreadful match, as did Smith Rowe, who failed to last 90 minutes again. Muniz I'm afraid is not a Premier League player, despite his occasional and very useful goals at times. Cairney on the other hand was outstanding, and showed up more regular players. Some of our players just can't pass a ball correctly, despite what must be hours of practice in training. We are at present a reasonably solid Premier League team, but lack flair.

When we play Chelsea on Saturday morning we must give them no respect whatsoever and pass and score them off the pitch so they get as much bad publicity as Man U did. These big teams must not beaten by little are the rules we must completely ignore to a huge extent. I have never wanted us to beat Chelsea more as I want this media definition who is great and who isn't nonsense must stop. Manchester United are very ordinary but when they lose to one of the "small" tems it is a big thing ignoring all the matches they lost last season to the "small" Clubs.

Glad to hear that Godo signed a new contract with Fulham up until 2028. I looked through the squad details and i didn't see his name which rankled me to be honest but all is well. Someone wrote on post that Pereira would have been a better choice than Josh King for experience i guess against Utd which i agree. What about Godo? Is it just me thinking it? Godo from what i have seen of him shows more scope than Josh King, or is it a case that i need to go to Specsavers? Godo is the perfect candidate to slot in for tonight against Bristol City but what do i know? Over to Marco Silva for selection tonight...

We have another three player arriving on the last day of the window. At least three of them must be better than that Manchester United reject from Brazil.

The khans are making a right balls up of this transfer market you can see they don't give a sh-t about the team,Marco is pleading for 3 players and they are sticking 2 fingers up at him.He will walk and who can blame him it time they sold the club to someone who cares
Replies
But, if Shahed Khan sells, it won’t be to “someone who cares”. That is just pie in the sky. It would be to yet another bunch of American investors who couldn’t give a stuff about the club, its fans or its tradition, they would just look at it as a money making opportunity. Criticism of the Khans is misguided in my opinion - they have done a lot of good things for this club, although to be honest this transfer window has been a disappointment to the fans and to Marco. Hopefully Tony Khan will manage to pull a rabbit out of the hat yet again.

If the rumours are true regarding our interest in Chukwueze, I really cannot understand why we are looking to sign more African players that will leave the squad short when the ACON comes around. Sterling could be a good replacement for Willian so I’d like to see that along with Mainoo and Nelson back on a permanent. A goal scoring number 10 would also be nice. We wait with bated breath over the coming days!

Still cant work out how and why forrest and wolves are still buying wingers and strikers, seems like another two to day signing for them one eachAll in region of 30 mill , just what have we been looking at since june.?

It is lot cheaper to buy a goal scoring midfielder than a striker and more and more teams are playing without a striker for this reason.
posted by The Time Is Now - Wednesday 27th August 2025, 11:33 AM
 
Well i have seen at least three strikers go to middle of table teams , not us of course,and wingers are lining up to join average prem teams , but not us.Do we not check on same players ?, or are we just tight.

It quite cheap to buy strikers who do not score many goals we have two of those already.

We've been chucking along with Chukwueze so it isn't a surprise. He failed at Milan. He could be our willian.

I was thinking the same thing about another African player. If we sign him, that will be three Nigerians who will leave for the AFCON. I do think he would be a good signing though. He is fast and quick with the ball. Looks like Fulham are back in negotiations with Shaktar for Kevin too.

I still don’t understand the often disrespectful attack on Andreas Pereira by the fans. I am probably a minority but I think he’s done an excellent job for Fulham and have helped us to settle in the Premier league. Yes, it is easy to criticise he’s crosses and free kicks. If he was the worse, Marco wouldn’t nominate him for dead ball set pieces all these years! He’s work ethic is often overlooked and also he’s been one of our more creative players in the last few years. With all the hatred, I understood why in January he talked about leaving. If you get hate mails from the fans week in and week out, but still giving in 120%, any normal human being would want to leave. Some of you guys should be ashamed for the things said. As I said, I am a minority in liking AP. I will miss him at Fulham and wish him the best in Brazil. Thank-you!
Replies
AP was massively overrated, he was inconsistent, prone to laziness and very often went missing in games. His set plays were truly woeful. He will not be missed at all, good riddance.

He always tried but rarely succeeded we will not miss him as we already have an 18 year old is better. Against Man U we produced a series and very dangerous set of free kicks and corners that United only kept out by skill and luck. If we get the three rumoured players on the last day we will have a very strong squad. They team we put out tonight will show how strong our squad is.

For me what he did “off the ball” as well as his work rate is his strength. He also created many goals for us and his final ball was creative in most cases. Agree his pen and free kick taken left something to be desired but overall the team was weaker without him in my opinion.

Never really given him any grief but have to agree I always found it odd why he took so many dreadful free kicks/corners even in the Sunday morning pub teams he would of been taken off set pieces.

AP wasn't bad' bad' but let's say average. Pereira is in a long line of players Man Utd and Chelsea churn out and they never make top grade and we see this only after we buy. For the money we forked out for him i think on reflection, he wasn't too bad. I think we paid 8-10 million? And i think that is a fair outlay for a player of his ability. Now and again we find a gem and hit pay-dirt and i think the last player who performed for us above expectations was Mitrovic who Newcastle let go.

If we were to bring in 3 new players (Marco's wish), who would we drop from the bench? Harrison is a good candidate (and probably be sold) but otherwise, which other 2 players would you drop?? Cairney? King? Otherwise, I can't think of anyone else we'd want to lose. So while we want new players, we have to remember we have not sold any players and there are not many players would be prepared to sit out in the squad and not get selected, even for the bench.
Replies
Well said John, with Godo we have 23 players, until Pererra goes. Lets hope he is the only sale Two players for each position used to be the remit. No use desperately buying players that are not at the level of the squad we have. 3 new faces of the level we have would cost £100 mill, not going to happen. Perhaps all along the loan route again with players from clubs who are not playing and want a London base, has been the management idea, but please no more like Kamara. Really disappointed that Traore is just a bit part player, while we are looking at Nelson. If the management put their plans for the team on paper, perhaps Marco Silva should have gone to Specsavers

Sterling willl choose Fulham over West Ham. However, Silva unhappy and relationship with Board severely strained, he will leave if decent offer arrives and will not sign a new contract. And, watching Silva’s interviews, body language during the games he does appear emotionally over charged as if something is not quite right and he wants success to prove despite everything his personal reputation remains in tact.

Marco has always shown his emotions during games. If anything, he appears to have made a decision not to become so angry and shout his thoughts to the nearest official or microphone. He is clearly biting his lip now, giving not so controversial answers to reporters questions. (Not so controversial, but not so interesting either!) Frankly, I thought he had every right to be angry at Man U’s tactics during set pieces: corners and free kicks. I hope instead Fulham are taking behind-the-scenes action, using legitimate channels to challenge Utd’s clearly organised cynical gameplan.

Dont know why but i cant remember back in the 60s 70s the physical body contact allowed today. Also I sense that Bassey , Adama and their likes are discriminated by referees who fear they will flatten any opponent. With this in mind, on saturday instead of having 4-5 of our team concentrated in the bottom left hand corner playing chess ball, id love to see adama take on cucurella with all the physical consequences if the ref allows it to be.

Poor Bruno Fernadez claims that the Referee who ran into him prior to him taking his penalty was the cause he blazed over our crossbar. Bad call Bruno, recalling a certain Mr Johnny Haneys "No professional football should fail to score from just 12' !" Sorry Manchester United were poor again and deserved to lose. BUT we will not have it so easy at Stamford Bridge.
Replies
Funny how things work out. Between the ref and var decisions, they took so much time faffing about the penalty poor Bruno Fernandez got himself in a tizz and forgot his lines and concentration which was good for us. They say that they are cracking down on the rough stuff that Bassey displayed and if true, they will also crak down on those kind of incidences in the penalty area. We will see?

He was walking backwards without looking where he was going and ran into the ref. It was his fault and nobody else's. He is just looking for an excuse why he made a mistake like we all do. Are footballers allowed to walk backwards and expect everyone to get out of their way?

Nothing will change if that player had been the ex brenford muppet he would have stood up to Bassey but the united forward was to little and Bassey was to big anyway there was blocking going on before the Bassey incident never a pen has nearly everybody apart from ref agrees our one Bassey pushed off balance as he was about to head ball penalty
