All 3 relegation battle highlights mixed together

My favorite part other than the Murphy goal was right after when they showed the Reading fan's reaction to the Fulham score after Murphy had scored.

 

Wow, tough stuff this relegation business. I think Americans would warm up to it quickly if we ever get enough interest in the domestic league to have that dimension.

That said, self-preservation and all. Better them than us!

 

that.......was.......aaaaaaaaaawesome!

 

Thanks for posting Burger. Sorry to see Hahnemann, Bobby C, and Rosie go down, but PCB said it best...better them than us.

 

Some of the Reading and Birmingham fans took the drop with great despair. Can't blame them. If Fulham would of been relegated I would have been a wreck for months on end.

 

Loved it...I cried just a little. Again

 

I'm a wimp and cant take the Reading fans crying. It takes some of the fun away for me; so I just look the other way.

 

I loved seeing the Reading and Brum fans in full boo-hoo mode towards the end :twisted: . Better them than us!

How in the world did Jerome miss that goal from 7 yards out? Wouldn't it have just been easier to poke it into the net?

Goodness -- how did Murphy get so wide open?!? Is he so short that the Pompey defenders just miss him?

 

HatterDon--love the irony. I was almost convinced by those who know that Murphy was better off somewhere else. (No irony here either.)

Anyway, I enjoyed the link. Is footie so compelling because Jerome's miss could have happened to us? Fortunately we don't have to consider that one!

 

The highlight of any season is seeing people cry when relegated. I always have a good chuckle, because it's rather like gallows humour. They cry this year, but I might cry next and I have in the past.

Don, it was Michael Cole - he missed goal after goal, including one worse than Jeromes against Port Vale.

 

Again, every bad thought that I had about Murphy, well, it shows why I am not managing a footy team.

 

Amazing video. I wish I was in England to at least see how it all unfolded while it happened like that

 

Wow, celebration and relief for FFC. I certainly don't take too much pleasure in other clubs being relegated, I remember the look on SheffUtd fans last year and pretty much never want to go thru that myself... Although I wouldn't mind it if say, Newcastle or ManU were somehow fighting for their lives...

 

One thing that struck me watching that video is how BAD Derby is. Just AWFUL defending. How did FFC not beat them either time?

 

If I had a dollar for how often I asked myself that question. When relegation was imminent, that was the rational thought I told myself. "We couldn't beat Derby -- how can you say you deserve to stay up?" I guess the answer is by Fulhamishly winning three games on the road. Sweet Jesus were they awful.

 

Another thing I just caught: In one of the crowd shots of celebrating Fulham fans after the final whistle, an American flag being waved. Fulhamerica fights on!

 

what about "Calm Roy"? Love his demeanor after we scored! Calm Roy is the bomb!!!
