    For me, against Aston Villa.

    Why: Martin O'Neill, Petrov, new owner who'll spend.

    I hope the guys put out extra effort against them, and Reading -for that matter.

    To lose to either would be really disheartening.

    I am dreading Chelsea at home to be honest, just don't want to see us lose to them again.

    Reading away is another concern but also, Wigan away.

    Man-Who?, again. If we do not use a different line-up, which I think we will by then since we have Rutledge and Pearce has been shown to be a tad on the not quite fast enough side, this could be almost as big of a disaster, BUT at home.

    Arsenal presents a similar problem.

    "Crikey!"

    I agree with P-Fog [hey, had to happen some time!]. I think Villa will be a tough egg for everyone. I also am concerned about Reading. They have two very fast attacking wingers who'll limit our backs to defending, and stifle our attack.

    But I'm really going to be afraid of all of them.

    I am concerned about every single match. There are no gimme's for Fulham this season. Every three points Fulham gets will be hard earned.

    I actually am looking forward to playing Man U at the Cottage. I welcome the opportunity to get a chance to prove that we aren't really as bad as we looked the first time.

    I do agree with Tom, though. Every match has me on edge.

    All away matches until they can win a few and get the supposed"curse" off their backs.

    That...and Man U at home.

    Ah, but it's much more exciting than watching the big 4 who are expected to win every match.

    The joy -- and I do mean joy -- of being a Fulham fan is that there is no easy weekend. There is no match that we won't bleed with. We'll never turn away, grab a beer, and wonder what episode of Law and Order is on tonight. As much as I'd love us to challenge for the top four and play in Europe, I kind of like this tightrope thing.

    COYW!!! Get some Geordies! :rock:

    I'm nervous against any mid or lower table club. Sure, wins and draws against the top clubs are wonderful, but losing to them isn't going to drag us into a relegation battle. When playing a top club Fulham is expected to lose, so if we get any points it's a bonus. Before those games I'm just hoping Fulham puts up a good fight and doesn't get the crap kicked out of them (whoops with the Man. Utd. game).

    Too many bad results against clubs like Villa, Boro, Watford, Reading etc. etc. will ruin Fulham's season, which is why they are my biggest concerns. The four teams I just mentioned are the clubs I dread playing the most. Oh, and Portsmouth.


    go team!

    Dread? Nah I don't dread any matches. There's plenty of other crap in the world besides soccer games to dread. As long as Fulham is Fulhamish we'll be able to beat anyone and lose to anyone. I love Fulham and I look forward to every match regardless of the opponent.

    I gotta say, Arsenal at home is by far the match I dread most. Even more so than Arsenal away- that's probably since they beat us 4-0 last year, but we just can't cope with their style of play. Our team isn't fast enough. Also, Wigan, Reading, and Portsmouth away worry me. Why I'm bringing this old topic up, you ask? I have no idea.
