Boxing Day - Fulham at Chelsea

On Boxing Day Fulham travels to the other side of SW6 to take on The-Other-Team-From-Fulham. Kickoff is at 10am EST on Peacock.

Fulham come into this match more battered than they have been all season. The list of unavailable players includes Nelson, Tete, and Reed. However, Lukic, Berge, and Smith Rowe all have question marks next to them coming into this match. Lukic seems the most likely of that trio to make the starting lineup. Pereira will be available again after his suspension last week. If the injuries keep enough of the midfield out, we could see King again - which I wouldn't mind after his performance last week.

I think this match suits Fulham better and I expect them to get back to scoring again, but I don't think they are going to get that elusive win at Stamford Bridge.

 

Wow! First win at the dog track since 1979! That’s the year I graduated from COLLEGE!

 

It’s my esposa’s BDay, so was making her breakfast, literally just saw the scoreline…HELL YES!!!!!!
@TommyFFCGun If you get this, tell us what the level of delirium was in the away end.

 

One of the greatest Fulham wins ever but I'm in a location where I can't even see highlights! I'm going bonkers!

 

It was a solid match. Mostly even throughout with neither team really taking the advantage. I kept telling myself that, even after the early Chelsea goal, they were still in it. Then the reinforcements came through! I was more pumped than I’ve been in a long time. There were so many poor passes and missed opportunities that built up a bunch of tension that was eventually released when they got the goals.

Fulham are killing it in London Derbies this season. That’s 3 wins, 3 draws and 0 losses so far (if I counted correctly).

 

What a perfect transition goal for
the winner, watched it 10 times at least. Can’t wait to see the replay w/GJ’s call.

 

I’m still in a happy state of shock…nineteen seventy fucking nine!!! And NEVER in the top flight until TODAY! Now if we could just figure out how to do this against the Southamptons and Wolves of the league….
SCREW IT! HERE’S TO THE LADS!
COYW! The Hatter is dancing a jig tonight in the heavenly realms!
