Really hope we get a win. Some kind of European football is a must. It will be good to Aurellio back but Jova will move on in the summer.
I can see this ending 1-3 (I may even stick a coupe of quid on it) Fulham will score first after 20 mins and then we'll score 3 in the second half 53 mins (Kuyt), 71 Mins (Kuyt), 87 Mins (Suarez)
Is it weird that I somehow expect Dirk to score today? I was so happy when he passed Torres as our top scorer, imagine how embaressing it would have been if the season ended with him as our top league goalscorer I really hope we don't, but we could have one of our trademark slip ups today with Spurs dropping points (And costing me a 4 team accum. ). It is very important that we continue our form for these last 3 games, if we win tonight then I think 5th place is ours! And how good would that be after the 1st half of the season! Prediction? I'll go with 2-1 Liverpool
I know what you mean about dropping points, this is the exact type of game we'd just go and draw/lose. A draw isn't the end of the world, but it would put even more pressure on that Liverpool v Spurs game.
I hope we get a win,and that will surely nail 5th.City will beat Spurs at the COM tomorrow.We on our current home form will easily have too much for Spurs,they will probably use the excuse that they are missing ''Gareth ''Messi'' Bale.
The hunt for 4th, as far off as it seems is still on, regardless of how hopeless it looks, City have to actually go and win, it would be better for spurs to beat city and we beat spurs, basically if we win out last games we are in the EL and if City somehow have a disasterous season end we could nick 4th, mind you they have to lose their remaining games, or losses and a draw, as ythe loss of two games and our winning will level out goal difference. What is truely shocking is that we can still qualify for the CL. With that in the balance and definately the EL in our own hands this evening's game demands determination and passion, our season is not over yet, City have to win a game, if they even draw 2 and lose and we close goal difference we're in. We should be fired up for this game and I think the team is going quietly about it until City mess up and then there will be talk, if spurs are in range then so are we as we'll finish above them if we win our remaining games, c'mon Liverpool!!! If we somehow had this miracle of qualifying for the CL, Henry would slap Comolli with his checquebook in the summer
I went for 2-1 at work. Dempsey, Kuyt and Meirelles. We badly need to win this, but as has been said it could be one of our trademark dropped points. Lets see what Kenny installed in them!
Hi Guys, I'm backing Fulham to maintain their excellent home form (19 points out of last 21 possible) and Liverpool to match their current away form (2 defeats and a draw from last 5 games). I'll suggest 3-1 to Fulham. Herre's to a good game.
Aye, but apart from Chelsea, Fulham have only played dross at Craven Cottage, I'm not scared by the 19 from 21, I think it will be 19 from 24 tonight.
........and Liverpool's defeats were to West Ham and West Brom and 2 of your wins were against Wolves (second bottom) and Sunderland (worst current home form i the PL) - looks like "Dross" to me
To be fair mate, I don't think Fulham have the quality to win this game. The best you can hope for this season is a top 10 finish, if we win this we're up to the Europa spot (far from where we want to be) and ahead of Spurs who we face in a few weeks time. This game is a lot more important for us than yourselves, so I can see us bringing the fight to you.
I think you have a chance tonight tosh, it wouldnt surprise me if you got a point. I think we will win though!
I see your point Liverbird - your team may well have more to play for. I guess we'll get an indication of how important the game is to Fulham when the teams are announced. Many of us have been calling for some of the youngsters to get a chance for the last 3 games and I think MH wants to test out a few.
Fair point Ze, I think the Fulham squad may already be planning their holidays. Their season is over, I fail to see how Hughes can really motivate them to any great extent.
why is this not posted on the Fulham Board aswell, when its a match thread? 2-0 to the whites. Easy win.
Because you can only post at one board at a time, generally fans make their own match threads on their own boards.
