I think we will win 1-3​
 
Pards will probably have to sit this one out. Same tactics and I fancy our chances. He got it bang on yesterday with selection and set up. If Colo was back I'd still bring him back.

The best "tactic" employed by this idiot is in making sure the opposition miss every chance they get. Spurs away a great example of his genius, contrasting with Spurs home, of course. So as long as Fulham do their best to fck up every opportunity to score we should win.

We've just scored 4 goals away from home against a better team than this. I bet you think that yesterday's win was nothing to do with Pards, but that every loss is his fault.

It must hurt you we've done so well this season and Pards has had such a cracking campaign. Manager of the year?

It's hard not to be really positive here. I'm lumping on a 2-1 win to us.

I'm sure some of the beelers on this board can manage it somehow.

Its very difficult to predict this one. We always do **** at Fulham, but then again our tails are up now and Fulham look in real bother. I'm going 3-1 with Remy, Gouff and LDJ bagging.
 
I'll be happy with the three points no matter what the score is.

Nice to have another 3:00 pm kick off and not having to leave home at a ridiculous time to get there. That's a bit of a bonus for starters.

I may be wrong, but I'm not sure they give out such honours when losing 5 on the bounce at home. Perhaps you mean the cup runs? No, that can't be it.

As soon as Pardew gives this club an identity I'm happy to reassess his ability.

As for the other poster, are you seriously giving pardew credit for the Hull performance? Jelavic/Bruce missing sitters is a tactic now is it?

I don't think Carver was a happy bunny yesterday.

As it happens a lot of people mentioned him and said he should take over from Pards as he's much more passionate about the team.
 
Fulham away followed by Palace home. Six points should be the aim.

I hope Mbiwa keeps his place, as good as Colo is and as well as he played against Villa I can still see him leaving in the summer.

I thought Mbiwa played pretty well yesterday given that it was his first game in a while. He's been our unluckiest player this season in terms of playing well and then being dropped the following game.

He was shaky early on in the season but I do see him as Colo's long term replacement and I'm a big believer in that once you've got the shirt it's yours to lose and he doesn't deserve to lose his place.

It's all irrelevant I suppose because if he's available he'll play and I understand that as he's our captain and he is our best defender.

Unchanged team for me and we should win. I think De Jong may well open his account for us in this one. It's just a shame it's a two week wait.

With Everton to play at home we could still catch them.

I couldn't call MYM unlucky. He has dropped some almighty clangers along the way. Very very rash and seems to have caught Sayloritis in this regard and in terms of trying to give away pens. For me you just play your best team and best players which is Colo. Shown he is 100% committed. If they decide it is time to move on at the end of the season then fair enough but things seem to have settled down. The latest sad situ may change this of course. I was impressed with MYM on Saturday, none of his usual silliness. Seems a bit thick all told. Hopefully he can maintain that level of performance as we need him too.

Like Remy we should be doing all we can to make LDJ permanent. I know he hasn't scored but I have been very very impressed with him. Tailor made for the game here. What has been really pleasantly surprising is his aerial ability and physicality. I also think there is a lot more to come. This is a guy who has been kicking his heels for a long time. Perfect for that lone role. As long as you have Remy types to play around him he will be a very astute acquisition. He might bring his bro too.
