Wembley's got the Euro 2020 final and semis.

Would of preferred them to try and get a proper tournament so that normal fans could actually get a ticket. No chance of that happening for a few years now they've got the final. Pity as Euro 96 was great.

Glad to help :P


Don't normally like losing (well obviously) but thank fuck you's won!

Now who to replace him? Semms Hughton is odds on favourite for the job. I saw someone mention di Canio on a Fulham facebook page. The majority of replies were "no fuck off". I actually quite like the idea personally. One thing you can be sure of is PdC will bring some VERY much needed passion to the team. And hey! If it fails, then its not like we have got ourselves into a worse position than before..... We are bottom with one point to our names :oops:

Shame his fascist views make people not want him because his passion for football is next to none.

Decent 3 points, I was expecting a Fulham backlash today but we managed to get away with a win and a clean sheet!

Louis Van Gaal's just bought a new house. A 3 up, 5 down. :lol:

I've actually watched just as many United games this season as City games, they actually look worse than last season so far and i did not consider that a likelihood at all.

Currently in dreamland after that.

3-1 thought we were done and thought it could've got worse.

But, we changed the way we played and got 4 in 20 minutes.


I just hope we don't have a hang over from this.


8pts from our first 5 [and a + goal difference] is way more than I thought
we'd have.
We're playing very well. Ulloa is £8mill well spent [only Costa has scored more goals]
and grabbing Cambiaso for a free transfer is a stroke of genius.
We had a good team last season that was strengthened with the above two players.


ManU will be fooked by the time they can do something about their defence
come January.
Great going forward.
But chuff all at the back.

Come home.

A stunner of a 1-0 loss to West Brom awaits me.

Woo.

This season is so good.

Looked like dog shit for 75 minutes, got 3 goals by randomly throwing it into the box and hoping.

And fuck I hate Townsend. "Hm... I know the boss wants to play this quick passing football but let's take a random off target shot anyway"

Back to winning ways and playing with style again.

Hopefully can shut up some of the glory hunters ridiculously moaning after two defeats.

Arsenal play so much better with Ozil in the middle and no Wilshire on the pitch. I just know that come the Chelsea match Ozil will be back on the left and Wilshire in the middle again. So frustrating.
I see the bad moon arising.

We should keep Kit Symons on as permanent manager. He already has more points than Magath managed this season :lol:
