Match Day Thread Fulham vs Southampton Sunday 22nd December 2pm

So it's off to the Cottage after an eventful week to say the least. Speculation is rife as to whom the next manager will be and whether he'll conjure up the greatest of great escapes or, more likely, oversee relegation hopefully avoiding the embarrassing stats that are in sight. Heart has been taken by the second half display against Liverpool, bring that along Sunday and we could spring a surprise.

 

**** VAR

 

Brave and Fun at Xmas time.

 

Be nice for the club to lay on some free scarves or something for this.

Intrigued to see the new stand. Always been one of my favourite grounds so hopefully it hasn't taken away from its charm.

 

Didn't realise this was on a Sunday when I got tickets. This is going to severely impact my drinking time, so I'm already massively disappointed

 

Is this Live?

 

One of my favourites to. I lived nearby last time I was in London 2007, bottom end of Goldhawk road not far from the (recommended) Raven pub and handy for the Chiswick/Hammersmith riverside.

 

On Sky

 

For those hardy souls who would like a walk along the river from the Fullers brewery pre match. I have fond and somewhat hazy memories of doing it stopping to rehydrate as and when necessary.

No it is recorded. We lose 2-0

 

Nah. We win 2-1. Ramsdale being named man of the match.

 

Ironically might have been useful Wednesday

 

Referee: Tim Robinson.
Assistants: Simon Bennett, Dan Robathan.
Fourth official: Darren Bond.
VAR: Jarred Gillett.
Assistant VAR: Marc Perry.

 

So the Aussie Gillett is responsible for ****ing us again then?

 

He's the best a team can get.

Sutton's prediction: 2 - 0
There's only one winner here. Southampton have not got a new manager yet after sacking Russell Martin, and I can't see much changing for them.
I have some sympathy for Martin because, had he lost last season's play-off final, there is a good chance he would still be in his job.
But Southampton's players are already low on confidence, and they were beaten again by Liverpool in the Carabao Cup in midweek.
Let's face it, Saints are down already and I hope they are planning for next season in the Championship.

JonMcClure's prediction: 2 - 0
Marco Silva is doing a great job at Fulham. They play really tidy football and it is nice to see Raul Jimenez back doing the business after his serious injury, because he is a class player.

 

Presumably Juric will be at Craven Cottage, more likely watching than coaching, you would think - although Jones took the Liverpool game pretty quickly

 

You mean the future has already happened? Great, so everything's fixed then. Always thought so tbh....

 

**** you sutton. Cock.
