Fulham win again and go through to the semifinals of the F.A. Cup for the first
time in 27 years. The first time in fact since we played in the Cup Final for
the only time in our history, so far.
The lads beat West Brom 1-0 at the Hawthorns although the score was flattering
for the Baggies as Louis Saha could have had a hattrick if the Albion keeper had
been a little less active. Steve Marlet also had the ball in the net in the first
half but the Ref said he saw Fulham players in offside positions so the Steve's
effort was canceled out.
Even the so called pundits like Andy Gray are starting to realise that Fulham
could be the team despite the Bookies making us 3rd favourites after Arsenal and
chelsea. JeanTigana must also be hoping that a suprise is possible because he
let his normal controlled image slip to race on and embrace Steve Marlet at the
end of the game.
Unfortunately we did not get Middlesbrough in the semi's which would have allowed
us to meet the blue menace in the final as they got drawn out immediately after
us. We will therefore have to squash them in the semifinals.

The Magpies dominated possession and territory throughout their FA Cup quarter-final,
but they lacked a cutting edge in the final third - much as they had done
in Arsenal's 2-0 league win here at St James' Park seven days ago. It had
looked like being Groundhog Day for Newcastle after Edu had converted Arsenal's
only real chance of the first period on 14 minutes, as he tucked the ball
home at the near-post after good work by Sylvain Wiltord. Newcastle continued
to press for a winner and Laurent Robert's strike seven minutes into the
second-half salvaged a 1-1 draw for Newcastle, giving both sides another
chance to reach the last four when they meet again. The replay will take
place at Highbury on Saturday the 23rd March.
