We won there 2-0 last season. Towards the end of January, Gabby scored twice to end a 4 game spell where we hadn't scored. They were Gabby's 11th and 12th goals of the season.

We will need to score 2 to win and I can't see us doing that at the moment. So 1-1 (Young and Gera)

Have been planning the route to this today.

I've established that it should take about 2 hours and 10 minutes. (108 min's train & 18 min's tube).

As for the result - I'll say 1-1.

Has anyone got an idea when we might see Gabby playing again? Has he got the bubonic plague?

I'm taking the boy to his first game (they're a dosile lot aren't they) so please please a good win or he may be swayed to the dark side (Chelsea).

Local game for me, probably the closest Prem ground and Putney is always worthwhile having a pint in after the game. Probably stay in Croydon beforehand as its not too far to travel. Looking forward to it.

Last weekend I went to Craven Cottage (entertaining some Spanish friends who wanted to see a Premier League match). Whilst Wigan were very poor and lacking in ambition, it was easy to see that Fulham are creative on the ball, like to get forward, have loads of patience and in Salcido have one of the better attacking left fullbacks in the league. And then there was Dempsey who was brilliant all afternoon, scoring both goals, one from Salcido's perfect cross. Andy Johnson also came on - first game back and did what he does, ie made a nuisance of himself and looked pretty sharp. Whilst I am sure we'll make a better fist of it than woeful Wigan, it won't be easy. I was impressed.

Looking at the other fixtures, we could be sitting in the bottom 3 (or 4) if we dont get decent results against Fulham and Blackpool. As close to a must win game as it gets.

I'm going to buck my own optimistic trend and say we are going to lose this, possibly 2-0.

I'm saying that in the hope the opposite happens.

Always confident we'll get a result at the Cottage

Last season was the first time we'd beaten Fulham at Craven Cottage since 1970 ( although we did beat them at Loftus Road)

we have a decent record down there. I think we'll just edge it 2-1. Goals from a kicked up the arse Ireland and Ash.
