You're forgetting one thing. They are crap. Any of the top 8 would have scored at least 2 tonight. Fulham passed up some gilt edged opportunities (eg shocking pass from Pereira) and the Rags were hardly creating chance after chance.Fulham had their chances, should be going home with at least a point, only themselves to blame. Sadly I think United will do that a lot this season, get wins that are barely deserved. they've spent far too much money to continually spectacularly fail.
Rags will finish 5th or 6th.
