Fulham vs Aston Villa vs Bologna Pre-Match Thread

Why stop there? Reach for the sky

I voted no. I’m not sure what for but I know it’s very important to use one’s vote.

I do quite like having sky though (the infinite blue space, not the TV thing, still boycott that since the Wapping shenanigans that affected a mate’s Dad. Might weaken though).

I note

Bolognese is a dialect of Emilian spoken in Bologna and its hinterland

Perhaps we could restrict the thread to posts in Little or Big Emilian?

Or photos of celeb fans cooking Bolognese within a 5 mile radius of the Fulham ground?






Time for a sabbatical…

It's brilliant and, as it happens, on BBC4 right now. I also rate "The War Game".

Slightly less harrowing than the thought of this thread continuing for 2 weeks

Fulham not having a bad seaon so far so wont be easy.  Hopefully we will have a few bodies back for this one

Bologna is twinned with Coventry so I would expect SOTV flags to be making their way down Jimmy Hill Way in a show of supporter solidarity. Chinny Hill was of course most associated with Coventry and Fulham.

Bologna coach is called Vincenzo Italiano.
I wonder if there are other managers with the name of their country managing in their country ?

Domenico Tedesco is an Italian who grew up in Germany and has managed both Leipzig and Schalke

(Tedesco is the italian word for German)

Finally, a threeway!

Three teams on the pitch at the same time... Will this be like one of those olden days games when the whole village ran around the green, chasing a bundled-up spherical pig-skin, gouging and fingering each other?

I certainly hope so. There is, at least, a Villa link to such events.

And being a raving cheating bastard to relegate Sunderland.

Seems the site didn't like it being directly pasted, only if URL Tagged.

I voted "no" also.  It's a general sort of "no" based upon it being saturday and the wife being away so I really don't feel inspired to do much.

We will have to work hard to break down a classic Italian defence.  A win will cement our place in the top 8 (that sounds amazing, doesn't it?) and give some of the European "elite" a real headache.  UTV

Wiki URLs which end with a ")" are always a problem

It originally died at the hyphen.
