Cardiff Round 1 Now 2

Highlights from Fulham:


If I hadn't been so nervous this would have been a really fun match to watch! As it was I felt seasick most of the second half.

 

Ugly, but...we’re going back to Wembley!!! I think one of the traits of a good professional athletic team is getting the job done, even when you suck. We sucked today, but...we got the job done. That’s really about all you can say about it. Except for, maybe, Kebano’s sterling flash across the goal mouth to redirect Bobby’s superb cross into the back of the net. I really hope Neeskens is fit for Wembley, but hamstrings don’t heal overnight so I’m not optimistic. Some of the pundits are already on the Brentford bandwagon, based on the two second leg performances mostly, but I think we’re in good shape. There might be matchup
problems for us against them, but it’s hard to beat a team at basically the same level three times in one season. But that’s a discussion for Tuesday. It certainly wasn’t as dramatic as Denis Odoi’s header two years ago against Derby County, but we’re going back to Wembley for the chance to go back up to the biggest league on the planet. And without waiting another 42 years! I think that calls for another DANCING BANANA!

 

I still haven't calmed down from the game. Man we stunk, but somehow pulled it out.

 

Extended highlights from the EFL:

 

Yup. And a no call of it by the referee. The officiating in this sport, as a whole, is abysmal. I mean, they can't even get some of them right with VAR.
