    Arsene Wenger would disagree, so would the England managers that capped him 73 times. Let alone Spurs played him 255 times. Suppose his record speaks for itself really, regardless of what if opnions.

    They’ve done well keeping Mitrovic tbf, he’ll boss that league this season imo.

    You said prior to that comment, quote; He was decent, but there were far better available. <laugh>

    The available part I take back. For me pallister was hardly capped and was better than Campbell. But his era there were even better available. Steve Bruce was tremendous too. Campbell was good I’m not denying that but there have been better with less caps than him.

    I badly phrased my argument. But you got the gist.

    It does seem odd Bruce was never ever selected for England seniors.

    Was an era of very good defenders. Now we have none. Stones, Cahill, smelling , Jones are half the players of the likes of Bruce, pallister, keown even.

    Well end of that FT 1-2. I wouldn't have got correct score either way. I predicted 1-1 but if i had gone for win score line it would have been 0-2.

    Good side Fulham. Probably the best squad in the league on paper though I’d always fancy them to concede a goal with Ream and that goalkeeper.

    Hopefully Mitrovic gets banned for trying to get the Hudds player sent off.

    Blatant cheating, can they issue a match ban for something like that at a later date?

    I think they need to stamp it out (no pun intended).

    Gayle got a retrospective ban for diving for a penalty last season. Because the player didn’t get sent off they’ll ignore it.

    They looked decent going forwards, Huddersfield didn’t really test them at the back.

    Mitrovic did himself no favours with the rolling around, but he won’t be banned as there was a faint waft of a hand on his grid.

    I want Fulham to get promoted. It’s worth a lot of money to Woking as they’d have to sign Arter.

    Had Fulham as a definite away day this season, never been to Craven Cottage and thought it'd be a good opportunity, my bro in law lives near Reading so train in and out with my boys and that.


    It's a Tuesday night for **** sake.
