Fulham @ Portsmouth

in my experience, and moreso than with fsc, setanta provides scores / info from other games during the match itself as the announcers will talk about the other fixtures, and in addition they have the score update box which pops up on screen. you can bet that setanta will be showing all the other highlights/scores at the end of the live match, so you may want to avert your eyes or begin watching 5 minutes after kickoff.

 

OK, drat, Mother's day will infringe upon my viewing the game -- to make a long story short we have 5 people going for mother's day at 1100 on Sunday morning. The positive side is that I should be able to catch the last part of the game at a bar that shows Setanta near my home. The godd news is I do have a tendency to jinx my teams, so I'll take it on the chin for this one.

My lineup choice, which Woy will do well to disregard --

KK

Stalteri ---- Hughes ------Hangeland --- Koncheski

Bullard ---- Murphy ----- Davies ------ Deuce

Ironhead -------- Kamara

Warner, Nevland (1st off the bench), Boca (2nd), Andreasen, Healy

Basically the same as the last two weeks -- you got to dance with the girl that brought you.


I also see at least one goal for the Ws. Portsmoth has popped a leak recently on defense -- 2 to Boro, 1 to Blackburn, 3 to Man City. When we are on we are as talented offensively as any of those sides.

Come on Fulham!!

 

Last time we played Pompey our lack of pace compared to theirs was very noticeable. We cannot....and I mean cannot have some of the giveaways that we had last week. At the same time we have got to play football. Don't wait around...take the game to them from the start. We need to win the second ball because they have a good aerial presence in the back, so Jimmy or Deuce needs to be hangin around the top of the box on any cross so we win that second ball and have a go at goal. The other one needs to be in the box so we get #'s in there. I'm confident cuz I know our Captain is going to leave everything he's got on the field and that everyone else is going to follow suit. I'm saying 2-1 Whites!

 

Hopefully Sol Campbell doesn't act the usual bollocks like he usually does. If anything, I hope 'Arry actually rests the guy.

I'm sure everybody involved with Fulham will be full of nerves and jitters for this match, but I believe we'll find a way to gain the result necessary to stay up. Scoreboard watching won't serve us any good; we'll have to take control of our own situation and maximize it.

COYW!!

 

It will be live for DirecTV folks on the Setanta Extra channel.

That said I have seen them late to join matches on this channel a couple times this season. :?

 

Awesome news obsolet3, I think that is Channel 670. Lot of good posts so I have nothing more to add other than like most of you all, the nervous energy of not knowing whether we will win or lose this game is killing me.....but I have a good feeling because of the way they have showed up the last 4 weeks.

I'm with omsdogg, 2-1 Cottagers!

 

Thanks for the link Don I enjoyed the article.

 

The general gist of what Davies is saying is why I jumped on the Fulham bandwagon. It doesn't go as fast as the ones from the big four, but the ride sure is interesting.

I'm glad to see the players are as on edge about Sunday as I am.

 

Thanks for the link Don. That was very cool little profile
The anxiety meter has officially just shot up a couple notches...

 

Thanks Don for posting. Is there anyone else even in the "player of the year' discussion than Simon?

 

the game will also be streaming for those with sopcast, tvant, etc.
I usually get the links to sites carrying the feeds from the Fulham Facebook page. I'll pass them along as early as possible, as it can take a while to get things up and running.

 

Pound Portsmouth!!!!! :rock:

 

impossible to make it to sunday without having a nervous breakdown. my fingernails are gone. i'm drinking at lunch. COYW

 

Nice article. Thanks Don.
