We're 20 yards too deep, exactly as we seem to play every time it 's a pressure game, so we're no threat on the counter, Grabban is anonymous and they're just working it round waiting for a gap.  Pathetic display so far and exactly what I was worried about.

How is Fredricks getting away with that?

This match up has been as bad as I feared.

Not on level of 2015 but from the 20th minute Fulham been much better. Composure, control etc.

We do look like an old one paced team out there. Just can't believe every time we play a final at Wembley we play the same lax underdog style, it's not working.

Would get Kodjia on at half time. Just get some more pace and unpredictability up there. I honestly don't think this Fulham back 4 is that great but we've made it far too easy for them with our long balls.

If we wait past the hour mark we'll probably be 2 down.

Only positive is it's only 1-0 as we were awful. Fucked over by the officials though, they get either of those 2 decisions right and it's a totally different game.

My stream actually cut out around the time of this Fredricks stamp so in Wenger style didn't see it, what was the other one?

disppointed in snodgrass..  he should have put a pass to Albert

houriane having one of his westwood games

Grabban might as well go get an ice cream

defence has been lucky its not 2 - 0 to them



We needed one of those decisions to get back into it because  open play we are miles away

but we are still in it but christ almighty - SORT THE FUCK OUT


Thanks for mentioning Grabban. I had forgotten he was playing. Sadly, rather than that comment being a throwaway 'quip' it is the absolute truth.

Let's be honest only Jedinak and Grealish have played any way well. Elmo isn't fit and shouldn't have started, three next to him all nervous. Hutton was diabolical for the goal. Hourihane invisible, Grabban uninterested and two wide men useless. Our reaction to Fredericks stamping on Grealish has summed us up first half...we are the ones who have frozen. Our players and management should have started a riot in forcing that prick of a ref to do something...

Huge half time, lucky to be still in the game. Bree, Onomoah and Kodjia all to come on at break I reckon

In the penalty box? I thought PWS was on about the nudge on Hourihane when he went down.

Think Albert had just held onto the ball too long and just got crowded out. He should've gone down in any case as rarely got a penalty if you stay up.

We have been rubbish make no mistake. But that decision is the sort that changes games. Fredericks should not be in the pitch. Cairney should have been booked just before the goal. The ref has been very much with them, and although it may not make any difference, the long term ramifications of a decision like that are massive. VAR would have actually been useful there.

What was Bruce doing on the touchline, 5 yards from where Grealish was trampled on?  Nothing.

He had his arms out in protest at the foul but nothing for the stamp on Jack. I'd have run on and lamped Fredricks.
Only positives from the 1st half is it's only 1-0 and we can't be any worse 2nd half.

Can't see us scoring today. Just not our day, I think.

Its punishment for a complete no-show in the first half. We've had to chase the game, but we're too vulnerable at the back, which seems mental to say really.

We got screwed over when the ref should have reduced them to ten men in the first half but on the other hand we didn't turn up, which with our experienced side over their inexperienced side is unforgivable. On the one hand I am obviously gutted, on the other I have enjoyed knowing we have a decent chance of winning each week in the Championship. On the one hand I don't think Bruce deserves the sack after taking us to a play off final but on the other hand I don't think he is the best man to rebuild the side on a reduced budget this summer. We will need a Warnock type (I stress 'a Warnock type' and not Warnock himself) who can build a competitive side on a reduced budget. Dean Smith for me if we do make a change but in all honesty I would keep Bruce. Third time lucky?

To be honest you're right. Any team that STILL has Alan Hutton in the starting XI is by no means suitable for PL.

I’m not going to get into the Manager, I think he deserves respect due to his professionalism after the death of his parents.

We just didn’t start the game in the right way, which killed us ultimately. Too deep. Panicking and hoofing it as a result.

After thinking Fulham would freeze, it ended up being our lads.

Very disappointed and I’m ready to drown my sorrows.

Congratulations to Fulham, who played well all season.

We had the opportunity but we don’t deserve to go up...it’s that simple really. We allowed Fulham (fcukin Fulham) to take the piss at Wembley then couldn’t even capitalise to score an equaliser when they went down to 10 men. We don’t deserve to go up and this squad would come straight back down. Fcukin useleas. Bruce has had a hard time in his personal life but he can fuck off too.
