Fulham Football Club are the
best squad in the Nationwide league.
Fulham are already acting as the
Man Utd of the South with a defeat in their final game against relegation threatened
Grimsby.
The Super Whites obviously had their thoughts on other matters and did not play
well. There were a couple of changes to the normal line up with Marcus Hahnemann
between the posts, Terry Phelan replacing the suspended Rufus Brevett and Andrejs
Stolcers starting in place of John Collins.
For the minute by minute details of the game click
here
It's disappointing to lose but now
we can look forward to THE PREMIERSHIP.
COME ON YOU SUPER WHITES
The relegation issues for Division
One were resolved today with both Pompey and the Palace escaping. Pompey won
3-0 and Palce won 1-0 with a last minute goal so Huddersfield, who lost 1-2
at home, went down because their goal difference was 1 goal worse than Palace!!!.
The Fulhamweb prediction
for the Grimsby game was 2-1 to the Cottagers with a crowd of 6500.
Say ... We are champions of Division One, have lost only five games all season,
have scored more goals than any other team in Europe and have the best goal
difference in Europe with the leading goal scorer in the Premier and Nationwide
leagues and will be playing in the Premiership next season.
Ho, ho, ho, he, he, he..............
COME ON YOU WHITES

Huddersfield (1) 1 Birmingham (2) 2
Meanwhile, just as Huddersfield, Lou Macari's side, looked to be heading
to safety at the McAlpine Stadium, despite trailing 2-1 to play-off bound Birmingham,
Freedman's strike set up a frantic finale as they were forced into scoring to
survive. But the closest they came was when Ian Bennett saved well from Andy
Booth at close range and minutes later their fate was confirmed. Booth had cancelled
out Curtis Woodhouse's strike for the home side, but the former Sheffield United
man popped up again on the stroke of half-time to confirm the Blues in fifth
position - and ultimately send Huddersfield down.
