Fulham Football Club are the
top club in the Nationwide league.
Ho, ho, ho, he, he, he......... We are the champions, we are the
champions of the world.
What a game. At one point it seemed the script was going to be one of the old
ones. Fulham have the chance to win something and they bottle it, however we
now have Jean Tigana and the squad do not settle for anything other than a win.
Opposition squads can never relax with Jean Tigana's black and white army as
they can score right up to the final whistle.
That irrepressible young star Sean Davis once again showed his ability to take
responsibility for difficult situations. It is a real joy to see a player unscared
by the passage of time.
Sheffield Wednesday arrived with the clear determination to get at least a point
by packing the defensive areas and thereby making it virtually impossible for
Fulham to create an opening. Fulham reacted with patient passing football looking
for the slightest gap but they were few and far between until the last moments
of the game when Louise Saha had a header cleared off the line and then Sean
Davis looped the ball into the goal
The Fulhamweb prediction
for the Sheffield Wednesday match is another 2-1 to the Cottagers with a crowd
of 18250.
Elsewhere today Blackburn and Bolton continued neck and neck both winning 2-0
Say ... We are champions of Division One have only 4 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..............
