Derby owed us a favour from way back and now debt has been payed in full,sit back and wait for the explosion come Saturday night.PS another team looks in dire straits sunderland close2 the edge of the money pit.

posted by Len (Guest) - Wednesday 25th April 2018, 9:27 PM Sorry real bishop but I can’t agree about the debt being fully paid. I see Tuesday nights favour as a small down payment on the debt of 1983. Events spiralled out of control following the break up of our exciting young team almost vanquishing our great club to the annals of football history. As far as I am concerned they have a long way to go before the disgusting events of that day can be truly forgiven or forgotten.

Glenn, from the FFC website: A waiting list will be held, and should any tickets become available by return fans will be contacted on a first-come-first-serve basis. Supporters can register for the waiting list by contacting the Fulham Ticket Office on 0203 871 0810 (opt. 1) or in person. Hope it helps.

I just realised 0-3 versus Millwall at their ground is the same score as the last time I watched FFC there. Not sure what year, around 77/78?? Ray Evans scored a 30 yard thunderbolt. These were the days of Harry the Dog and I had to hide my scarf on the walk back to New Cross station from The Den. Anyone else at that game?
posted by Hints - Wednesday 25th April 2018, 9:00 AM Whatever happens from now on in will prove to be sublime joy for the few and heartache for the rest. I'm refusing to think we will gain automatic promotion because Cardiff don't have to rely on other clubs results. As has been said so many times just do our bit and keep on winning you can do no more,and let's stop going on about " if only we hadn't dropped points etc" Because WE DID!

posted by Badger (Guest) - Wednesday 25th April 2018, 11:04 AM Couldn't agree more Badger.Im immensely proud of the way our season has turned around by playing football the way it should be played as Man City have proved attack is the best form of defence so let's hope we get stuck in to Sunderland & Birmingham - take the six points and leave the rest to fate.
posted by Harry (Guest) - Wednesday 25th April 2018, 12:09 PM I was there Hints and if memory serves I think our old pal Les Barrett was playing for Millwall at the time. My strongest memory of the day was walking back to the station and witnessing a burger van being turned over by a bunch of local Neanderthals. The only reason being that the final results were blaring out from the vendors radio and the announcer had the audacity to confirm the 0-3 scoreline from the Den. Just gotta love the 70s.

If that is the case, you can pay your mortgage off by lumping on Cardiff, as they will overpower Hull's kids. Those dropped two points against Brentford are coming home to haunt us. I wake up at night thinking about those points, and it is doing my head in.
posted by Brian Jarvis (Guest) - Wednesday 25th April 2018, 7:06 AM Len, where did you hear that?? No managers would ever say that and absolute no incentive for them to do so? The challenge is whether the players are motivated and prepared to give 110% to win the match. With Hull, they have good players and without the pressure of relegations I actually think they can play well against Cardiff. So I disagree with you that i think you are suggesting it will be a walkover by Cardiff. As I said below, Hull were effectively safe last week already - why would they go an score 5 goals and get a 5-5 draw if they are not trying!

posted by Tezza - Wednesday 25th April 2018, 10:00 AM I take it Hull are playing a weakened side because of their massive European Commitments or are they being rested for the Cup Final or maybe the play offs. Either way in my opinion this non story smells of undiluted BS

Derby should give that Chelsea loanee a runout. At least he has that bit of pace to run at the Cardiff back 4. I cannot see Rowetts logic in his team selections. I guarantee you, that he will bring on Palmer late on into the 2nd half. He did that at Pride park when we were 2-0 up. At least Palmer is a bit of a threat. Laurence is overrated for me, he needs to do more.

posted by Jb (Guest) - Monday 23rd April 2018, 9:35 PM Sometimes life doesn't go how you want. If we'd invested in Mitro and Targett in September, we'd be coasting into the Prem. If Cairney had been healthy, if Slav had made Sess a full time midfielder, etc. But that didn't happen, we are where we are. Which is unbeaten in 20+ matches. If Derby were to win or draw, we can keep fantasizing about automatically going up, but that might only lead to disappointment. Better to steel ourselves for a 3-match fight, and if a miracle happens, great.

Whatever we think will not make the slightest difference and those who have already given up will feel equally gutted if we don’t make second spot. If somebody can explain to me the benefit of refusing to be optimistic I am all ears.

If Derby will then it is all to play for, if they draw we can still have a outside chance but if Cardiff win then we need to start thinking about the playoff's and maybe we will want to use some strategy although not wishing to be overly confident I would say I would want to avoid any of them.
posted by Tezza - Tuesday 24th April 2018, 12:18 PM If we have to assume we will win our last two games - so Cardiff just have to drop points in 2 of their remaining 3 games.

posted by Len (Guest) - Tuesday 24th April 2018, 5:24 PM Warnocks attempts at mind games are both transparent and pathetic. His analogy of Fulham viewing Cardiff as a rash that will not go away is quite clearly how he sees us. Without our team having the audacity to maintain peak form and results surely it is his team that would already be celebrating. The added claptrap of the possibility that we would normally be promoted if we were to reach our target of 91 points can just as readily be aimed at his team if we were to somehow nudge ahead at the finale. You are fooling nobody but yourself Warnock if you think Slavisa Jokanovic has even taken the time to read and digest your ridiculous ramblings. At least it keeps your ego suitably massaged and keeps you high profile in the media. I am guessing you will be happy with that as it is probably the whole point of the excercise.

posted by Harry (Guest) - Monday 23rd April 2018, 10:57 AM

Derby owe it to themselves first of all, and with some hard work and effort, can force themselves back into a playoff spot. I would play that pacy guy Palmer from Chelsea from the start. Rowett gives too much respect to his first 11 which is all fine and dandy. If plan A isn't working, he needs to come up with a plan 'B'. At this stage of the season, there are tired legs on both sides. Why not inject some pace in from the start? We can do no more than win our last 2 games, and it is up to Cardiff who have 1 foot into the prem. It depends on how much you want it now, and Derby players seem like they are giving up. That guy Keog who was dropped is a bit calamity, but he tries 100% and maybe he should play against Cardiff, nuff said!
posted by OWEN (Guest) - Sunday 22nd April 2018, 7:00 PM Problem is we changed system yesterday did not help much Palmer is injured and only good a half hour currently.He has loads of ability is still naive in certain situations but I would not be surprised if Rowett throws him in from the start.As for Keogh and I am no great fan he is not as bad as other teams think it is just the way he looks that does not help him.But his mistakes are always big one's take a look at boro's second goal and how Keogh leaves his man ..terrible.Thing in your favour is this could be thanks to Colin spouting off the game they desperately want too win.

Radio report yesterday said that Notts Forrest were the better side, and should have won the game by at least a goal. The trouble is that Cardiff are playing crap matches, but they are still managing to win. If, as now seems possible, they get promoted and we don't, it will be a real football travesty.

Obviously Cardiff have that 2nd place in the bag, which leaves us in 3rd, then Villa, Boro, and (our biggest fear) Brentford in 6th. Think the final will probably be Villa vs Brentford, with Villa taking the last promotion place

Prediction: 2-1 Derby. So, Cardiff remain on 86 points. As for Hull, Cardiff will have to play again only 4 days later and it's another away game with a long tiring journey of 4 hours, so assuming they travel up the day before they will still be tired. Prediction: 1-1 draw. and 1 point gained. Total: 87 points. Fulham play on Friday against relegated Blunderland after a near full week of rest, and with the best will in the world I can't see any result other than a thumping. Prediction: 2 or 3 Nil- Fulham 88 points and we go second. So on to final game. Cardiff play Reading at home and fair do's I'll give them a home win. Final points tally - 90. Fulham play scum Brum and I truly believe we have the calss and motivation to beat them, so 3 points. FFC final tally 91 points. result we go up. Another potential outcome is if both teams draw Fulham and therefore 1 point to each team we would go up on goal difference. One word : logic. Of course we we can still do it we have to believe and so must the lads. Taxi for beach.
posted by marbella white (Guest) - Sunday 22nd April 2018, 1:27 PM Of course we can still do it. Some might think unlikely.....but the stats say we CAN still do it, no matter how improbable. You’re either an optimist or a pessimist, it’s that simple. As I have been clearly saying, in the face of the gloom and doomers....we will finish second. I would point out when I first said we would, we were maybe 10/12 points adrift. Living in hope is not a crime, it’s what comes naturally to a committed supporter.

posted by HARRY LONGBALL (Guest) - Sunday 22nd April 2018, 2:00 PM If someone had said to me back in December after we got beaten by Sunderland that we have a run like we have had and that we would be in the position we are in right now I'd have taken it - end of. Another thought, even if we don't get auto spot and we get beaten in the plays offs then simply I'd say we don't deserve a place at the top table. I just cannot see that happening though as we have a superb squad which is a class above last season and I can guarantee you that any of the teams that would have to face us in the p.o's would be sh*tting more than just bricks I can tell you.
posted by marbella white (Guest) - Sunday 22nd April 2018, 2:18 PM Predictions are of no relevance until after Tuesday's Derby v Cardiff match. The outcome of that game, will surely influence our season. Oh how I regret that last seconds Brentford goal. Without that, I feel that we would have been up already. I really hate that mob.

posted by Mortlake (Guest) - Sunday 22nd April 2018, 4:15 PM Unless Cardiff beat derby Tuesday second place still on I believe if they lose tommorow we will nick second place not sure they will beat hull !!!presume if they get 4 points from last two we get six we nick second spot (who knows reading might do us a favour !!!

posted by Mortlake (Guest) - Sunday 22nd April 2018, 7:40 AM cardiff looked pretty shaky last night , , at home against an average notts team , nerves are stretching , still need 2 wins from 3 games , 2 of which are away, i bet it dont look easy from cardiffs view of things , and like there centre half said after the game ,, fulham keep on winning ,, coyw ,,ps dont worry about mst , he just likes 2 be right , more than he likes auto promotion
posted by england fan (Guest) - Sunday 22nd April 2018, 8:23 AM And surely Reading won’t be a pushover in their last game! Now with Sunderland gone they won’t have much to play for and Birmingham hopefully maybe safe for last round! It’s never over till the fat lady sings!

No it’s not. Keep the faith. They will draw with both Derby and hull and we will take them to the last game.
posted by Jokaknowsit (Guest) - Saturday 21st April 2018, 9:51 PM It could get much worse yet? I have only got to whisper 1 team? 'BRENTFORD' in the playoffs!!! The only thing we can do now, is win our remaining games and hope that Cardiff slip up somewhere sooner/rather...
posted by OWEN (Guest) - Saturday 21st April 2018, 10:38 PM Thanks for that cheery and optimistic outlook MST where would we be without you.
posted by marbella white (Guest) - Saturday 21st April 2018, 11:32 PM It's like the donkey being tempted by the carrot, we go forward one step, and then back two, it's getting very frustrating. The radio report says that Cardiff were terrible and full of nerves, and that they were very lucky to win this one. The trouble now is that Derby lost at home today, and they have gone right off of the boil, and Hull let in 5 goals against Bristol City, so neither of these sides seem good enough to hold a lucky Cardiff. Bah ! ! Play offs here we come, and another Championship season beckons.
posted by Brian Jatvis (Guest) - Sunday 22nd April 2018, 12:00 AM What a ray of sunshine and optimism you are to wake up to on a sunny Sunday morning MST. It’s getting to look like you want us to fail to reach second place just to prove you right. Not a good look!! Cardiff were poor last night, really we’re lucky to get 3points. Hull whilst letting in 5 scored 5. Derby NEED to beat Cardiff to qualify for the Play Offs. Everything still to play for.
posted by Mortlake (Guest) - Sunday 22nd April 2018, 7:34 AM I would much rather be a naive optimist than a fully paid up member of the realist club. I believe that the gloom and doom merchants are going to be equally gutted if we miss out on second spot so really where is the harm in hoping for the best.
posted by Eddie (Guest) - Sunday 22nd April 2018, 11:01 AM Think you’ll find there’s more chance of Brentford taking the 6th spot. Both Derby and Millwall have two very tough fixtures. Brentford have easier games.

posted by w12 (Guest) - Saturday 21st April 2018, 6:50 PM I was thinking earlier on who was the smaller Club QPR or Brentford, and then realised they are equally small. I know there is always room for small clubs in any town, but wouldn’t it make sense for them to merge to make just one small club in West London, any thoughts on what they could call themselves ?

Only gave ffc top tier !,, could have done with a few more hope if we arrive there in play offs we get more. Well done travellers great support out sung home fans at times great night all round (why did we allow bitters and plkeys to get away with draws we would be promoted now !!!
posted by Len (Guest) - Saturday 21st April 2018, 1:14 PM Now now Len the hard facts are that we blew 4 points which may well have cost us automatic promotion. But on the plus side if we play like we did in the second half of last nights game none of the other sides in the play-offs will beat us!
posted by Harry (Guest) - Saturday 21st April 2018, 1:27 PM Respects to the great Roy Bentley, who has just died , remember the day he arrive as a striker at the cottage from Chelsea and then got injured, some time after got converted to center back and there were calls (from the crowd) to play for England in that position even though he was getting on a great warrior.
posted by the real bishop (Guest) - Saturday 21st April 2018, 3:10 PM Saw your comment on the "wall" site. You were one brave little Reginald, all the way from marbellya weren't you. They were saying good things about us & our working class supporters. Their fans are good salt of the earth people for the most part. They only gently criticised the metro mangina "clappertwats" that attach themselves to our home games. They shouldn't have to put up with foul mouthed gloating on their forum any more than we should.

We will all be marginally older by the summer. If that’s the selection criteria I am in with a shout then.

As an American, I became a Fulham fan during the McBride era. The highlight for me was the Europa League run under Roy. I love that team, and the magic of beating Juve and other big clubs. This season has been the best since that run, hands down. Slav is our best manager since Roy. This team deserves to go up. Let's hope the football gods see it the same way.
posted by Drago (Guest) - Saturday 21st April 2018, 1:19 AM McBride - loved him. Mitro is best fwd since BM and that includes Berbatov. No surprise we have done well with a strong front man who applies pressure to the defensive line throughout the game, holds the ball well and knows where the goal is. Zamora should get a shout as he was brilliant as well, esp against Juve. Brian turned us round for the great escape with his goal against Reading. Great times and here we go again.
posted by Phil (Guest) - Saturday 21st April 2018, 9:07 AM Yup Drago, let's hope. This group deserves it. Fantastic footballing side we have. Would be able to hold up reasonably well in the prem as is if we get there but we would add. The "great escape" would be my go to YouTube viewing. Will never forget listening early morning when Danny Murphy netted at Fratton Park to keep us up. Can't wait for an epic May afternoon at Wembley. We will do it!

posted by The Arizonan - Saturday 21st April 2018, 5:17 AM Did you watch the match, or just repeating rubbish from the press. Tim Ream, oustanding throughout made that run from defence for our third goal. Millwall given a lesson on how to play football, coud'nt get near enough to hurt us, in both senses of the word in the second half.
posted by denny (Guest) - Saturday 21st April 2018, 6:44 AM Do you watch the game or just repeat press rubbish. The outstanding Tim Ream was the player who ran through and supplied Mitrovic with tha pass for the third goal. Millwall second half could'nt hurt us in both senses of the word, the ball being moved around much quicker. Outstanding.

posted by OWEN (Guest) - Friday 20th April 2018, 10:44 PM After the first 45mins I can’t help but wonder if we will repeat last year and peaked just a bit too early! Wow. How glad I am wrong and Fulham showed, not only we haven’t peaked yet, we have taken it to a new level! All three goals were amazing! Sessengnon’s goal looks better and better when you see it in slow mo. What about Mac! Where did that come from. The only borrow bit about us is so predictable Mitro scores again! Awesome! Shame the game is ruined with some very dirty play by Millwall! They probably forgot they were live on television! Well done!
