Fulham v Newcastle United - Official Build Up / Matchday Thread

never mind aalll this tactic sh1te and whats the score going to be rubbish ,im down there at 11 where's all the lads going for drink?

 

looked off the pace Sat against Cardiff. It's early days but I wouldn't be too concerned.

 

Getting into Kings Cross about 11.00am and having a few near by before heading off to Craven Cottage.

 

Hope you're not going to be stotting along to the Cottage.

 

cheers jimmy you getting the 7-22 from newcastle

 

James is a corkney.

Lives dan saf.

 

I live in Melton Mowbray so getting the train at 9.30am which let's into Kings Cross about 11.00. I'm not sure which pubs we're going to as me and my lad are meeting up with a couple of his mate's before we head across to Fulham.

 

Don't forget the pies for the Half time snack.

 

I'm going 4-1. With some **** goals conceded on their part. De jong to get a brace. Sidwell to score his mandatory screamer that he scores twice a season. If we lose this one i would be very disappointing.

 

Like a lot of teams, I feel we have a nasty habit of slacking a bit when we play at Fulham. I've always put that down to the fact Fulham is a difficult club to dislike. There's just no needle there.

Anyway, Fulham will surely be nervous and we really need to hit them hard from the outset and get an early goal. If we do, we should win.

I have no truck with Fulham whatsoever, but 6 PL London clubs is too many for my liking. Would rather Chelsea or Spurs got relegated though...

 

Its nice to be where we are playing without pressure or fear. We know what its like when you are where Fulham are, its really difficult because the players are under the cosh.

 

a lot of you may want to look at your predictions again

as I mentioned after the Hull v Newcastle game, the fourth official was the hapless Howard Webb (see nowt, do nowt unless the FA say so guy)
which is normally an indicator that he wll referee either Hull or Newcastle next game
guess what ?? we drew the short straw

Howard Webb is to be ref this weekend against Fulham

this guy only sees what he wants to see and is a habitual arse kisser of the FA
hense why he's the English ref going to the world cup 'again' (he's not good enough in my opinion)

who can forget Webbs masterful refereeing show aginst Fulham at St.James' park when he blew for a foul against Nolan as Viduka scores
when the replay showed it was Swartzer fouling Nolan
who can forget his 'I saw nothing wrong with Shelvey (headbutt) despite being reviewed by him and the FA, nor the 2 handballs in the box at Swansea this season
who can forget that he couldn't wait to give a penalty aginst Newcastle at Chelsea for holding in the penalty box, were every club does it

the guy is a distaster area for Newcastle and I would be very supprised if we get any of the big descisions at Fulham

this will be the third time he has reffed us and all away from home
escaping the abuse he would no doubt get at St. James', by me anyway

this season
Swansea away 0-3
Chelsea away 0-3
Fulham away ???









well, I feel a bit better after that rant

 

Fulham simply have to be there for the taking surely?

Worst case if we don't win.... and Fulham do.... it's not good for the Mackems so some slight consolation.

 

And your excuse against Sunderland is ????

 

Come on now fredor, you're not working to get your red bars back are you?

 

Pity

 

One of the few games I usually get to, but this season the FA decided to put it on my boy's birthday. And he ain't old enough yet. Infamy, infamy.

 

"NUFC: It's anticipated that Fabricio Coloccini feature after returning from compassionate leave in Argentina.

News is awaited on the availability of Davide Santon, Loic Remy, Hatem Ben Arfa, Rob Elliot and Sammy Ameobi."

Colo returning would be fantastic, but worried about no Remy.

 

This is a really poor away record we have vs Fulham. 6 defeats in our last 7 trips and only 4 wins in 21 games.
