Fulham vs Aston Villa vs Bologna Pre-Match Thread

[Londonfranky]

Nice of you to mention Fulham’s intertoto cup win, looking to Saturdays game to see how we perform against a decent Villa side, we’ve started reasonably well so far, probably with a bit more luck we could have a few more points on board, I think Emery and Silva are similarly good managers, Emery took you from the fringe of the relegation zone to the champions league with the majority of players that struggled under Stevie G, Silva got us a promoted everybody expected us to struggle but we got a mid table finish, then had to cope with losing Mitrovic for last season then losing Palhinha for this season, recruitment has been good this season hopefully top half finish and maybe push on for European place it would be nice to get to an FA cup final for the first time in 50 years!!

The cappuccino is better than flat white, but I agree that the cortado is the best one.

You've obviously never had a pingado.

I'm a fair man and willing to change my mind if presented with the evidence.

Bloody hell, its bad enough getting to and from Villa park without that lot being on the roads as well.

I hope the Royal Mail has taken on some extra staff to deal with the flood of letters emerging from Lancashire in praise of Blues, their fans and the handsome Gardner family.

Pizza has to be one of the biggest scams ever .

So less than a week before Fulham will this thread now just soley be a Fulham pre game thread that would be best suited. And then soon start a Bologna thread when the time is right.

[Drummond]

No.

[Drummond]

Fulham won 2 drawn one at home this season
Beat Newcastle 3-1 in last home match.
Former Villa man Adama and nearly villa man Smith Rowe are form players providing goals and assists and Raul seems to be in form scoring 4 already this season

All very interesting,  but what's it got to do with cheese 🧀?

Edama Traore. Emmenthal Smith-Rowe.

Quite right, and frankly not before tome.

I'm making Bologna a grudge match because of all the hateful middle-class people I've met over the years, after a fortnight on holiday in Italy, who've told me that what we call spaghetti Bolognese doesn't actually exist in Italy, and that nobody drinks a cappuccino after 11am there. WHO CARES?! We have a tomatoey dish called spaghetti Bolognese, live with it. We put cream in a carbonara, fucking deal with it. And if someone is mental enough to want a coffee in the afternoon, let them fucking deal with it again.

No shade to actual Italians or Italy, but these English ponces can fuck off.

I prefer a microwaved Chicago Town pizza to Italian pizza and once ate one between two pieces of buttered white bread.

Have that Italy!
