going for a 1-0 win (sentimental reasons) today on the same date, we won 1-0 against Watford in 2000 - remember it like yesterday
This x 10. I'm not sure if we will ever see Rafa's NUFC drive without both hands on the wheel at the 10 and 2 position.
Wish I shared your enthusiasm, matey. Fulham are not that bad at all, and we are bang average at home, often worse. Their manager knows how to get under our skin and I'd honestly be surprised with a win by any means; completely expecting a draw or worse today. It's what everyone at the FA....sorry, Sky...wants.

Someone explain to me how Rafa is justified when he says "we expect Fulham to have the majority of possession". Does the think we're away in every fcking match, or that that's how you can play??? Sorry that really, really annoys me and Ando's spot on saying there's no way ANY team should come to SJP and 'expect' to have more of the ball. Defeat beckons, yet again. Performance is almost as sh!t as the radio stream.
I can see a repeat performance of the starting game coming with them parking the bus now for the 0-1 win
Mate, just read posts by Hank. We set up the exact same dopey way at home as we do away, there's no urgency, there is no taking the game to the opposition. I cannot for the fcking life of me understand Rafael Benitez and if this happens next year - bear in mind we'll lose the majority away - we're utterly screwed. I'm approaching a point where if Rafa went it'd hardly be tears.
I think we will do just enough for promotion and I won't complain as our squad really isn't all that save for a handful of good players but do we really need to treat every opposition team like world beaters? even at SJP where we ought to expect us to venture forward a little more often.
****s sake! Half an hour late to turning the game on and we;re behind already. Can we please just play everyone away from now on??
