Fulham vs. Chelsea (R)

[adj137]

Ok so the game is over now but we won so i feel its important enough to open a thread about it.

McBride and Malbranque totally owned everyone else, Drogba did score but he had used his hand to control the ball and Fulham should have had a penalty, and Collins John really should have put one away when he was 1 on 1 with the keeper.

Not bad for a team that got raped 5-1 by Liverpool a few days ago.
Anyway sets of fans from both teams decided to invade the pitch after the game.

The chelsea players did get a bit nasty at the end and Gallas got sent off, nice to see the Fulham fans waving him off the pitch though .

Can't wait for Mourin-hos reaction...

Edit - Mourinho was surprisingly magnanimous in defeat although he did pull a bit of a wenger "i did not see it' about Gallas

 

[Help?]

I am just trying to figure out how a team that conceedes 4 against United and Arsenal and 5 against Liverpool beats Chelsea 1-0

Anyways, well done to Fulham, that's a big win for them, and won't trouble Chelsea at all, with 8 games to go.

Well done to Fulham. A bit surprising really, considering the thrashings they've taken recently.

 

[Daz]

awesome

 

[Voltaic Borusse]

Was Boca playing?

 

[adj137]

what really surprises me was that Volz and Knight can actually defend, i've been slating them all season but hats off they were brilliant today. The liverpool score was a bit harsh and it was away from home where we're crap but the last home game fulham played was against Arsenal and we sh)t, from that run of results i was almost going to not watch the game i thought we going to get ripped apart.

Edit- nah Boca didnt play we had Pearce in instead, im not sure but i think he was ruled out by injury.

 

[::shinji::]

Don't put scores in the thread title ffs!

 

[adj137]

ermmm why, will i spoil the surprise

 

[Stotty]

yes, there are some people that wait for highlights programs without knowing the score.

Anyway... LEGENDS

 

[fender]

Good result for Fulham, they really battled hard for it.

 

[Johnny_Big]

Yeah you did spoil. The game in our local broadcast didn't start yet...I didn't know the result too. Now I know...shame on you. And sure Shinji also knows.

 

[adj137]

oh yeh, soz.
im still surprised that any team with Mark "walking stick" Pembridge could win any game let alone one against chelsea.
Europe here we come

 

[bjmenge]

Europe here we come

Heh, that made me laugh for some reason.

 

[Shindig]

Boumsong suspended... coming off the back of a derby defeat.

Put some money on the toon, lads.

 

[adj137]

We only need another 14 or so points to push for 6th place... it either that or the fair play draw. And we tried that last year and it doesnt work.


From the BBC:
"At the final whistle Fulham fans entered the pitch in what seemed at first to be a celebratory, and good-natured, pitch invasion."

That pretty much sums up Fulham, even when indulging in loutish behaviour we still do it in a family friendly way.

 

[Virgo]

so did Mika lose like a sh*tload of money?

 

[bjmenge]

Hopefully.

 

[$teauA]

What is wrong with Chelsea? When was the last time Lampard scored in two consecutive games? I don't even remember. It seems like no player on that team is in form right now. They'll still win the EPL though so it doesn't matter that much.

 

[Rob]

Yes I told someone I forget who I wanted us to draw, or lose and we did, all because of mikas bet.

 

[Help?]

Hey Mika, you got some spare cash for Chelsea's games with City, Blackburn, Bolton, United and Newcastle?
