Felt they got lucky with us and three injuries. But still, they're on a decent run at the moment. They'll still get dumped out the play offs in the semis by the 6th or 5th placed side mind.

Fulham looked the business this time last year and crapped out in the play-offs. They must feel like they've got to do it properly this time while they've still got Sessegnon and Cairney.

Lucky? You're coming all over Theresa May. They played us off the park second half, injuries or not. First half was a bore. They already look like a half-decent PL side. I still think they're our biggest threat to 2nd, let's hope their shit away form returns but right now I hate them and their Coach (who we could have stolen last summer).

I can just about live with under performing and not going up automatically, providing Fulham are the team to take our place. Cardiff, Derby, whoever will are more than good enough to beat. Fulham are what I wanted us to be heading back to the PL, playing good football, getting results and with a few additions, looking like they could survive the first season.

The best houses are always built with strong foundations. That's not our case (again). Still, we are pretty much in control of our own destiny, something until now Fulham can't say.

Yes they got lucky that our two best players in Grealish and Albert got injured before the game and that Elmo similarly got injured,which totally disrupted the shape.

And they were at full strength and it showed. To write them off is mental.

It showed second half for spells when Elmo went off. They were utterly clueless first half as wonder boys one trick was out gunned by Axel being twice as fast as an M3.

They're not going up automatically and I think they'll bottle the play offs again. If you think otherwise, that's fine.

I think they're a fine footballing side that I really hope we avoid if neither club gain automatic promotion. We've been humiliated twice this season, once away at Wolves and second half away at Fulham. Both quality footballing sides where we had nothing to throw back at them despite our record breaking spending.

I'm hoping your right and they've left it too late but I'm not going to hold my breath.

No one is writing them off. No-one is writing us off either.

As for being a half decent Premier League side, hardly an endorsement.

The side sat 7th have won their first game since mid-December, 1 win in 12 and they're the lowest scorers in the country.

There are 5 good sides, Arsenal and then a shower of utter shite below it.

I could live with being half shit for another season but in the PL. Bring it on!

Arsenal seem to be making a strong bid to be in the shower you speak of.

Boggies losing.
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

That ringpiece nose Deeney with the goal. At least that lot will have something to celebrate tonight.

I thought they were all bezzies now, united against us in a quaint alliance of jealousy and bitterness.

aye you're probably right.

#sad as the orange fat man would say

They should merge, they could call themselves Small Time Alliance.

Saw Fulham’s opening match against Norwich and they were superb but just lacked somebody to put the ball in the net, best team I’ve seen this season and still fancy them to go up automatically.

Sheffield Wednesday once again on the wrong end of corrupt reffing.

4-0
Is it correct that the chap they sacked recently is now in charge at Swansea and doing quite well?

He's done a fantastic job.
