Fulham v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

I've held my tongue all summer, but now we're here, on the eve of a drubbing as we are ill equipped/prepared

0-3 loss, Given MOM

Christ! Are we playing Barcelona

[ozzjim]

We are playing a side 3 weeks ahead of us in fitness and competitive sharpness. I think a single goal defeat will be a decent result at the moment!

In our favour they've been competing against piss poor sides though

[ozzjim]

Still has the extra edge, and they have been winning, which breeds confidence. away from home, with a side that we are not really sure how will go, anything out of the game is a brucie bonus.

if that happens mate, then no one will say anything,
 but if it doesnt and you turn out to be badly wrong, expect to be reading it again a few more times at about 5 oclock

Samuel L Jackson thinks we'll win 2-0! True story. On the other hand Lawro thinks we'll lose 2-1. Who would you trust? Come on!

In this instance Lawro!

When we were playing in the Intertoto or in the early rounds in Europe, how did we start the season?

Not looking to catch anybody out, I can't remember if we started well or badly with our extra preparation.

SLJ all the way

[Matt Collins]

We always used to get off to a strong start under mon. Then fall away at the end.

[Olneythelonely]

A 2-1 win. Bent and N'Zogbia for us, Hangeland for them.

But who would win in a fight?
Might is right...

[olaftab]

Leaving now to head down towards Earls Court and the hotel. First journey of the season is always special. I will be happy with a draw however this may turn out to be a  bad start for the fact that they are ahead in match practice and our line up is not settled.

to be fair mate, nothing would make me happier than being badly wrong

Afraid Ive got to agree with Lawro on this, hopefully in a sort of reverse-psychology, expect-the-worse sort of way. 2-1 to Muttley's boys. Where are people intending to drink before the game?
