Us 2 (Foster, Dorigo) Them 1 (Best)

I've always thought we have had a pretty good record against Fulham.

Win this and we're in a very good position. We'd need just one more win from the remaining 5 and it'd be job done.
I think we'll be safe with a few games to spare to be honest. I think we should be winning this and Sunderland. If we have to win against Norwich and Wigan, we should be able to.
I think we'll be safe before Wigan to be honest. They probably will too.

Although Chelsea were terrible i thought Sunderland were much improved under their new manager so that won't be a walkover, win against Fulham and it's almost time to breath easy, lose or draw and we are still teetering on the edge. No Bannon please.

[Toronto Villa]

3-1 Benteke, Weimann and a celebrity strike by Dazza Bent

[JUAN PABLO]

3-0   

[VancouverLion]

3-1 Benteke (2) Gabby, Berbatoffee for them

Let the good times roll!!

[Axl Rose]

3-2 Villa. Baker, Vlaar and Weimann.

[ciggiesnbeer]

Bent hattrick please.

[Jimbo]

This is one of our winnables, so I think we have to take the attitude that we must win it. It will give us the breathing space we've been craving and heap more pressure on those around us. Of course, we can't produce wonder strikes every week, so it'll be tough, but I think we should and can nick this one.

2-1.

[eastie]

3-1 villa win and a huge step towards safety.

[peter w]

This is our last game against a team with nothing left to play for so we need to take full advantage.

I've always thought we have had a pretty good record against Fulham.

Perhaps, would be interesting to see. My probably warped perspective seems to remember lots of home draws where we all assumed we would win and games down there, particularly when they played at Loftus Road, when we never seemed to get a result against them. I think we did well overall at their place during MON's time mind you

[Matt Collins]

I don't think we've ever lost a premier league game at home to Fulham?

I really don't think this will be a stroll though, not least because we never keep a clean sheet and Fulham are normally decent at the back.

I think this might be 1-1. Not a bad outcome but with Man U up next likely to leave the Sunderland game as another6 pointer.

A win, coupled with (what are quite likely) defeats for our main rivals would be wonderful and give us a very minor bit of breathing space.

I'd keep the same back four. Probably nzogbia for Bowery. We have the pace to exploit senders and riise, while its a good note that sidwell is suspended. He's been playing well. Ironic really - he was appalling for us.

[Simon Ward]

Repeat of last season is my best guess!
