    Right, the last game is upon us. I've looked back at what we all predicted way back before we played QPR at the end of Feb.
    Mrs Captains biscuits seem safe to be honest Captain (sigh of relief) but I think there's potential with Fiddlin Bidlin and the Slack Jawed Captain. Keep us posted in the summer on the progress of band if you would!

    So, in summary Fulham have exceeded all our expectations. We were on 30 points before the QPR game and we all said that we'd manage anything between 13 points to 20! We're now on 52 points. Aren't we the pessimists! Comes with the territory of being a Fulham fan I hear you say!

    Here are the games and the results:
    Queens Park Rangers - Fulham 0-1
    Fulham - Wolverhampton Wanderers 5-0
    Aston Villa - Fulham (15.00) 1-0
    Fulham - Swansea City 0-3
    Manchester United - Fulham 1-0
    Fulham - Norwich City 2-1
    Bolton Wanderers - Fulham 0-3
    Fulham - Chelsea 1-1
    Fulham - Wigan Athletic 2-1
    Everton - Fulham 4-0
    Liverpool - Fulham 0-1
    Fulham - Sunderland 2-1
    Tottenham Hotspur - Fulham

    won 7
    lost 4
    drawn 1
    We've accumulated 22 points plus whatever we get at Tottenham.

    Here are the predictions from all that took part, see how well you did.

    Me
    Queens Park Rangers - Fulham (15.00) 1-2 got to go with a win here
    Fulham - Wolverhampton Wanderers (14.05) 2-0
    Aston Villa - Fulham (15.00) 1-1
    Fulham - Swansea City (15.00) 2-1
    Manchester United - Fulham (20.00) 3-0
    Fulham - Norwich City (15.00) 1-1
    Bolton Wanderers - Fulham (15.00) 2-2
    Fulham - Chelsea (15.00) 1-2
    Liverpool - Fulham (12.45) 2-0
    Fulham - Wigan Athletic (15.00) 3-0
    Everton - Fulham (15.00) 2-1
    Fulham - Sunderland (15.00) 1-0
    Tottenham Hotspur - Fulham (15.00) 2-0
    I've put us down for a conservative 18 points.

    Fulham - Swansea City 2-1 narrow win again
    Manchester United - Fulham 4-0

    Fulham - Chelsea 1-1
    Liverpool - Fulham 3-0
    Fulham - Wigan Athletic 3-0 (Wigan's players fleeing a sinking ship)
    Everton - Fulham 2-1 (we never win at Goodison)

    Tottenham Hotspur - Fulham 4-0 (Tottenham cementing their Champions League bid)

    No predictions for me... Wait and see in its glory!!

    Bandito
    I'm going for 13 points. I expect to have a day off.

    I figure it's no use trying to predict individual results this season, so I'll just go with a points total. I reckon 20 is achievable, which would be one more than last season and a respectable mid-table finish. The only result I will predict is Chelsea at home - I think we'll beat them.

    A late entry from Silkship
    Aston Villa - Fulham (15.00) 1 - 0
    Fulham - Swansea City (15.00) 3 - 0
    Manchester United - Fulham (20.00) 2 - 1
    Fulham - Norwich City (15.00) 2 - 2
    Bolton Wanderers - Fulham (15.00) 1 - 1
    Fulham - Chelsea (15.00) 1 - 0
    Liverpool - Fulham (12.45) 1 - 1
    Fulham - Wigan Athletic (15.00) 4 - 1
    Everton - Fulham (15.00) 2 - 0
    Fulham - Sunderland (15.00) 2 - 2
    Tottenham Hotspur - Fulham (15.00) 3 – 1
    13 points - hopefully next season we develop some consistency and away form - top 6 not unrealistic if so.

    I never got round to making any predictions but I can say that I would never have predicted that we'd be on 52 points with a game to go and looking at 7th place (possibly).

    As I understand it we are currently 2nd in the form table over the last 6 games (won 4, drawn 1) with Man City the only team better than us with 5 wins.

    If I were Spurs (11th in said table I think) I wouldn't want to be playing the mightly Fulham on Sunday when the game means so much more to them than it does to us.

    Bring on the last game of the season and another good finish!

    Sadly, a spokesman for Fiddlin Biddley and the Slack Jawed Captain today announced the duo's break-up due to musical differences. Fiddlin' had all the musical talent, and the Captain was just different. Speculation that they may reform in the future for the lucrative reunion circuit remains unconfirmed.

    Good effort - think I got one right and the Swansea score the wrong way around. Shows how we have performed above expectations, particularly on the road.

    I thought you could do the Nandos circuit and see how it goes. Being Fulham fans I'm sure you will have your ups and downs but look back in a few years time with fond memories of the working mens clubs in Lancashire.

    Nah, we were banned from the working men's club circuit after that unfortunate episode with a chicken-in-a-basket. Brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it. Fiddlin' still shudders whenever he passes a KFC.

    Captain, are you sure it's not Pogaphobia Fiddlin's got. They say facing your fears is the best cure, so could always book him in for a night at the Motspur Park hen run.

    Yeah, great post. I think we should do more of that. I missed two wins for us - Liverpool and Sunderland. It's been a great run for us, but I don't hold out much hope for Sunday's visit to North London. Tottenham want to finish above Arsenal for a European spot.

    Miles out. We won a couple I thought we would draw and drew a couple I thought we would lose and brilliantly beat the 'pool which I didn't see coming at all.

    Very pleased to have been proved so wrong.
