Quote from: john e on October 19, 2024, 05:56:55 PMWhat’s the odds on us doing the quadruple ?Might throw half-a-crown on that We're about 100/1 for the league, 40/1 for the European Cup, 16/1 for the FA Cup, 10/1 League Cup.By my calculations that should give you a return of £96,795 17s/6d (including your stake back).PS. As your placing your stake in pre decimal, that will be less betting tax.

Thought Torres was pathetic for thier goal.Carlos MOTM for me. Did everything right.Watkins was crap but an exceptional header.Bailey was old self, lose the ball and wave arms about.Tielemans superb again and Onana got through a lot of work.Cash frustrates as usual.Digne excellent Martinez..it just expected now.Ramsay in and outRogers good in spurts but not commandingOverall a great wi against a very decent side
Quote from: ChicagoLion on October 19, 2024, 08:43:31 PMTielemans MOTM, when I see people pick teams that do not include Digne I think wtf.I thought Rogers and Watkins were poor but their goals make up for it.3 points, we move on.Tielemans has been our best player this season. No mean feat bearing in mind the competition. Honestly though when we bought him it was a 'meh' signing from Leicester and we got 2nd best compared to Toon behind Barnes.Glad I was wrong Yourri has had a brilliant 2024

The thing with Torres, is you're gonna get moments like that when he's in a one-on-one tussle with a physical striker and we know he struggles. He's in a position where all he can do is be aggressive enough to play that fine line between knocking the player off fairly or fouling and if he does that in the position they were in he risks the red. Carlos as we know would have gone shoulder to shoulder but won naturally, Torres is gonna have to be more aggressive to win that kind of tussle. The flip side is what he does on the ball, arguably better than any defender outside the top 3. He also dealt with Jimenez a lot better in the second half, with help from Carlos softening him up a bit. Our way of playing also means we're occasionally prone to balls over the top and more robust forwards will target Pau's side. But I do think he gives us way more strengths than weaknesses. It's also arguably why Konsa is the most suited partner as his recovery pace might have given Jimenez more to think about (good finish tbf).
That was certainly an eye opener for this Fulham fan, after our promising start to the season, apart from the first five minutes, it was all Villa, every corner created danger, we never created much at all you certainly kept our midfield quiet and that’s been the best part of team so far this season, I suppose we were a bit unlucky first goal deflection, third goal own goal, and a completely shite penalty, but that doesn’t take away from how well you played, good luck for the rest of the season

So I have a bit of a soft spot for them, too.
It was nice that the corner to the near post finally worked. Think it was 11th time and boom what a goal !!

Everyone talks about how much they love going there, pisses me off thinking about it!
I would've loved to have seen that Michael Jackson statue.
