Posts Tagged ‘Fulham’

As an Englishman i would support any English club playing in Europe, but tonight i will be hoping Wolfsburg thrash Fulham.

My reasons are that Fulham played a weak side against Hull and lost last weekend in the hope of keeping their key players fit for tonight, Exactly the same as Liverpool did on May 5th 2007 when Liverpool played a weak side against Fulham, Fulham won 1-0 which kept them from relegation by 2 points and our friends Sheff Utd went down instead and blamed WHUFC.

Justice i hope will win tonight and it wont be the Cheats.

Good luck to Wolfsburg.

I’m not so concerned about Rob’s errors against Fulham, everyone is entitled to an off day. No, what I detect is a tad more serious – starting with his public criticism of some of his team mates after the away performances at Bolton and Citeh but showing themselves up yesterday in terms of poor body language (none of the usual hand of recognition in response to the chants of England’s number one, for example). I know that sounds tenuous and interpretation of general demeanour is not an exact science, I’ll grant you. It’s just that yesterday was different, there was definitely something missing from Green’s usually fiercely competetive edge.
Is Green issuing a subtle ‘come and get me’ cry?
Is it the old disenchantment with the financial terms of his contract?
I’m not sure. In the past 18 months, I’ve always consistently rubbished the massed ranks of the muppets queuing up to tell us that Green was about to leave during the transfer window. This year, with the other external uncertainties added into the mix, I am not quite so sure as January fast approaches.

Crumbs of comfort, maybe, but I am at least somewhat heartened to read Gianfranco’s candid condemnation of his players’ performance up at Eastlands on Monday night.
Phrases like;
“The standard that I am expecting from the team is much more than that”
“Unless we do more than we are doing it is not good enough.” and..
“Along with the belief there has to be a better effort from everybody.”
will strike a chord with many of us and at least make a refreshing change from the blinkered public face of some managers’ reactions to abysmal displays.
Only question now is, ‘are our players as good as we think they are?’
According to GFZ, again, “I see these players training and the way they train is absolutely fantastic”
Maybe. Then again, they’re only training against themselves. At the moment it is playing competitively against the rest of the EPL and being fantastic that concerns us, starting with Fulham on Sunday. In fact, screw fantastic, just give us 3 points, eh! (No. this is not a plea to bring back Curbishley – only kidding, let’s keep trying to play the beautiful game).
