Fulham @ Blackburn

Can anyone remember the last time we had a weekend league fixture? I sure can't.

The lads travel up to Blackburn this weekend, weather permitting.

There is also no word on it being televised as FSC has the match scheduled for Saturday, but it got moved to Sunday a few weeks ago. (thanks Sky!) And contractually FSC just HAS to show David Beckham and one of the Big Four, so chances are we won't be seeing it on tv at all -- unless they swap out some tape-delayed Boca Juniors game for us at 5pm.

Anyway, Blackburn just got slapped around by City and should be looking to bounch back. The new lad Okaka Chuka should make an appearance, and hopefully AJ will finally get going.

Fulhamish ALERT: The haven't won since Nov. 22, right before we had our way with them over Thanksgiving. In their last 10 games they've scored just 7 goals while conceding 14.

1-1 draw.

 

As Timmyg correctly predicted, FSC's online schedule has live coverage of Milan-Siena at 9am and Bolton-Arsenal at 11am. Of course, it also still says delayed coverage of our match Saturday at 5pm, so the information can't be all that current.

 

We need to go for their throat. 0-2.

 

I saw on my cable TV guide it will be on Sunday on tape delay..5pm Eastern I believe

 

Agreed, but I don't think it'll happen. As at the end of the Stoke City, Fulham can fly forward with the best of 'em and I hope we see Gera. Yeah, I said it, I hope we see Gera. Dude has only done everything asked of him this season, and done it well (EXCEPT FOR REVISITING THE LEFT SIDE BLUES!!!). Duff, Dempsey and Gera need to provide the attack - which means we'll see a Danny Murphy goal to silence the naysayers (me included).

Injuries are a problem, damnit. Get well soon, Mr. Zamora. Is Okaka (Sp?) available? Hangman? Konch? Davies? Kamara? AJ?

Unfortunately, Fulham lacks Carlos Tevez (he's so fun to watch) who just destroyed Rovers. Three points is no lock, but I don't see Fulham walking away empty-handed this week either.

 

Glad to see Blackburn being the side with all the fixtures this week. Obviously Big Sam's eyes are on maximizing their home schedule (their gd at Ewood is +4, compared to their horrendous -22 away) for survival. Would not be surprised in the slightest to see a 0-0, but hoping for a 1-0 for the good guys.

 

So, anyone with any updated info about TV? I may miss it when it's live.

 

The original FSC pdf showed it tape-delayed on Saturday.
It looks like FSC will now show the Sunday match (still tape-delayed):

THANK YOU, Don!!!!

This means A.J. scores at least one goal, maybe both, in the win!!


:banana:

 

Sorry to disappoint but that is the on-demand streaming schedule.

One FSC page currently SHOWS it being delayed till Friday 22nd 3PM but that is disputed by another page showing a different game at that time.

So I'm not even putting the showing up.

 

I just cross referenced the DirecTV, Comcast, and Dish Network and they all have 5pm, Sunday, tape delay.

ANYWAY I WANT SOME SOCCER AND A VICTORY

 

My (Time Warner) cable listings also show Sunday 5pm tape delay.

 

I would like to see Zamora (is he available) and Nevland up top and then bring on 'kaka @ 60 min.

I'm predicting 2 - 2

 

1-0 to the good guys. I just hope we don't come out of this trip with yet another player going down. Blackburn away can be a rough endeavor physically.

 

Since it's an away game, I can't predict a road win.

I'm going to predict a 1-1 draw and an AJ injury in the 60th minute.

 

When I looked at the Fox Website schedule it now shows the game will be aired at 2 pm est, but my direct TV guide says 5 pm est. Oh and in the above post I meant Kamara - losing my mind.
