Fulham (A) - Sat 11th May, 12:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[Father Paul]

I wasn't aware that Son had been transferred to Fulham.

I know. Some people are getting ahead of themselves. The Spurs game may not matter if we lose on Saturday. Likewise experience should have thought us that if we win the next two games we still may have to beat West Ham and what possibly go wrong in such a situation?

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

We need the team to do what Pep said, win them all

Absolutely

None of these games can be overlooked. Fulham are a solid enough mid table Premier league side, it's not like we're playing a third division side. They're capable of beating anyone on their day, like any other Premier league team. They turned spurs over not so long ago, yet people seem to be overlooking Fulham and worried about Spurs.

Luckily the players will approach it with the same focus as any other game.

One game at a time , no jinxing please

I see Anthony Taylor has been given this game. Hopefully he is not on a mission.

OF?

OnlyFans?

Old Farts?

He will lose control of the game before having to dish out a flurry of cards , nailed on rodders will be carded

Taylor is the biggest anti-City cheat out there. Out of interest what’s our all time record with him as ref?

 

[BringBackSwales]

No marginals for us on Saturday with that rag **** - he’ll give them the marginals that Coote won’t overrule, and vice versa he’ll give us nowt and Coote won’t overrule. Saturday just became trickier

We've only had him in 4 games this season so far. Luton in the cup (6-2), Arsenal at home (0-0), Chelsea away (4-4) and Forest home (2-0). Overall a mixed bag under his officiating, but probably because he takes the bigger games generally.

He's overseen 16 away games of ours and we've won 10, drawn 4 and lost 2. Away at Liverpool and Spurs the losses funnily enough!

At home we're not great under him, which is more of a surprise with our home record. Hopefully he doesn't officiate our game against Spurs as we've lost both games he's overseen against them!

Yeah that's a good bet or he'll just let everything go like against Arsenal. My bet is fully operational on Saturday.

Is he a rag? Because his record in their games is shite! They've won 3 of the last 9 at home under him and 5 of 13 away. He's doing a good job at hiding his allegiance.

 

[Blue Maverick]

Lots of disrespect for Fulham in the media, Redknapp going on about Spurs etc, Fulham are no mugs and we tend not to like early kick offs. Factor in that twat Taylor and it’s a bloody hard game.

Without checking any facts ,I’m under the impression our record in early games is good.

I meant we start off slow mate, we do t seem to come out the blocks the same.

Isn’t that more to do with how shit they are?

He won’t get us twice in 4 days. I fear he gets the cup final though

The coach and players will be focused and relaxed.

Most have been in a similar position in previous seasons and know what to do, how to do it & will be relishing the opportunity.

A snippers mentality....squeeze....bang....next !!

You tell me. He's a biased rag fan who fucks us over apparently, except it doesn't seem that way at all on the evidence! Much was made of his rag allegiance before the dippers played at the swamp and drew 2-2. But he's overseen a 5-0 and 4-2 dipper win at the swamp before. They've won and lost under him at the Etihad. Ultimately, we play at our best and he can't influence the game in any way at all. Pep's got the players well drilled in ensuring we don't give refs an opportunity to fuck us over!
