Fulham Football Club are the
best squad in the Nationwide league.
An enjoyable evening at Craven Cottage
with goals, a win, quality football, a cameo performance by Simon Morgan and
no rain. Wolves tried to contain Fulham and although they played less physically
than in October Wolves had to resort to foul play in their penalty area and
fortunately the referee had been told to give us an easy run. So Karl Hienz
got two penalties from fouls that Ref's have ignored all season long
The Fulhamweb prediction
for the Wolves game is another 2-1 to the Cottagers with a crowd of 16500.
Second best Blackburn continued their efforts to conquer the second place in
the division with a 4-1 win away at Grimsby
Say ... We are champions of Division One have only 2 games to go, have lost
only four games all season, have the best goal difference 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..............
