You can fuck right off if you think you’re sitting next to me with those fucking things.

Fulham ain’t been to Wembley since 1975!!
That must be a record for a club that size.   Any stats on other biggish clubs absence from Wembley?

It's strange how a few years in the Premier League can make a club seem bigger. I always thought of Fulham as the archetypal second/third division team, a sort of southern Barnsley.

The George Best/Bobby Moore era probably boosted them. Plus the Johnny Haynes side did Ok (I assume) in the early sixties.

I don't think they were particularly highly-regarded before Fayed took over, but nowadays if you've been in the Premier League even for a couple of seasons you're a Premier League club forever.

Clearly not a "fan"

I'm pleased Fulham did it last night, if my old man was still alive he would of been the first Fulham fan on the pitch at the end. He hated Derby for an incident where a fan kicked a Fulham player towards the end of a game which resulted in a loss and relegation I think. Always as a kid I dreamt of Villa playing Fulham at Wembley and now we're so close.

Fair play to the Derby fans in the  office today, disappointed to lose but accepting they were beat by the better team. Also wishing us well for tonight.

They're a QPR with a bit more money.

Not helped by the glory hunting United fans talking about there trip to the Cup Final on Saturday and the massive glory hunting Liverpool fan been to 1 game this season on a corporate freebie who’s decided to have a moan about the costs of getting to Kiev. Cue one Derby fan getting up and leaving the room before he smacked him one.

Same thing in my workplace mate. Because I'm headed over for the game I've been taking it in the neck all week from 2 x token Liverpool fans who've never seen the Kop up close, 1 nominal United supporter and a Chelski fan who didn't know John Terry had joined Villa................

Wolves will be playing their home games there in 2019-20 while the Berneneux is being built.
