Fulham at Newcastle United

Although they've been swapping first place with Brighton for a good chunk of the season, Newcastle are the class of the league. Hate to be a debby downer, but I don't see us getting anything from this one. A point would thrill me.

 

Bloody BRILLIANT!

 

We're getting three points.

I make this outrageous claim based on this: Newcastle is returning home after their longest road trip of the season (3 games). Four times before has Newcastle played 2 consecutive games on the road and what happened on two of those occasions when they returned home?

• September 17: Newcastle hosts Wolverhampton and loses 0-2
• December 26: Newcastle hosts Wednesday and loses 0-1

The other two times they beat Rotherham and Villa when they returned home. But we are not Rotherham or Villa. Newcastle has been away from home so long they'll be off their form. Newcastle has only the 7th best record at home while Fulham has the 3rd best record away. Plus Newcastle has the longest streak with no loses so they are due.

See?! A win for Fulham is inevitable!

 

I have seen the light!!!!!!!!!!!!

- great pull SCJ

 

Yedlin out for Newcastle with a "thigh" injury (hamstring?).

Going to assume it's a quad issue, since all the reports say thigh. I can see Newcastle saying no to him traveling to the US then to Panama. We might actually have a Eric Lichaj sighting for the qualifiers

 

Fulham wins! (as if there was any doubt? ) Plus Villa beats Wednesday! Preston beats Reading! Leeds draws!

TUESDAY!!! Beat Blackburn and take a spot in the top 6!

 

Terrific result.

 

@MicahMan, you're a prophet!

@FulhamDC, hope you had a great time at St. James and it would awesome if you'd like to share a pic or two and a match report. Were you up in the rafters with the Fulham supporters?

 

Re: Ryan Sessegnon

 

I am entertained!

 

We missed another penalty?!?!

Good thing we're much better in open play and Sess certainly doesn't play like a teenager.

 

I've seen the light!

Now on to important matters. Tim Team took the penalty!?

 

I figured it was a sign of support after the horrid OG. I still would have preferred Sessegnon got a hat trick.

 

@MicahMan, I couldn't believe it when I saw it was Ream who missed it, immediately thought of your Ream jersey dilemma Micah.

 

I saw a Tim had tweeted in his defence that the manager made the decision and not him. He was getting a lot of stick for denying Sessegnon of a potential hat trick. It didn't help that the highlights show here said that Tim "pulled rank".
