Fulham @ Reading (R)

HOLY COW -- what a rush!!

Best game the Ws have played all year. We OWNED the midfield today, escpecially Dempsey and Bully. I wasn't even nervous about our ability to stop them in the defensive half of the field, a feeling I am not used to when watching Fulham.

And Keith Costigan on FSC is a tool, his pre- and post-game analysis of Fulham is totally off the mark. I hope we beat the drop to stick it in his Liverpudlian ear.

What a great game

 

Agreed, he's an ass and deserves a good smacking.

 

Well said

 

The funny thing is just last week I was talking with a well-respected FUSA member about how McBride wasnt looking up to the task. Couldnt have been more wrong.

 

Wow how nice to see a victory and by a margin of two goals! Regardless of where Fulham stands on the table at this point, I just want to see them finish up the season on a high note.

 

Any chance Liverpool will field their B-team like last year?

 

Don, Great match summary! LOVED reading it. Thanks!

 

Away support was fantastic and they deserved to see that win today. Did you see some of the Fulham players threw their jersey into the stands.

 

You got to think that is a possibility.

 

The one away win in almost 2 years and I wake up after the 2nd goal is scored. WTF? I must've did something horrible to enjoy this kinda luck.

 

I tivo'd it... just in case.

And then found the tivo recorded the wrong program and would not tune the cable box!!!!
@#%$#@#%$#@$#@!#%
But I did get to see the second half at my dad's house.

 

Heh--I'd be just as bummed as you guys about missing the coverage (I did, too), but it just proves my theory that we get wins when I miss games.

On that note, I promise not to watch a single Fulham game for the rest of the season if it means more days like today. I just caught the highlights--McBride was on fire! And Simon Davies deserves all the credit in the world for assisting on those two goals. His pass to Nevland was a thing of beauty.

Proud, happy, and hopeful. And scared. Let's not forget scared!

Still big kudos to the supporters who made the trip and refused to give up on the guys. I'm off to watch the Quakes play their home opener, and no matter what happens, it won't shake the smiles that this win gave me.

 

Yaaaaaaay...Whipeeeeeee....Hoooooraaaaaaay!!!!

...any other hokie cheers I'm missing that could help to explain this feeling I have not felt before???

 

I don't know where Reading is located but I assume it is close to London because 2,500 fans for the Whites!?!? Are you kidding me?!?!? AMAZING support which is why I love this team and the fans that follow them...

...I don't know if I heard the Reading fans all game! But I heard plenty from our supporters, awesome stuff that made the match and the win that much more special.

...we will not go down without a fight.

UP FULHAM!!!!!!!

 

My parents showed up at my flat as soon as the game was over, I had to hide my beer because it's embarrassing getting caught drinking at 1pm, even if it's for a good reason.

 

Great display by the Cottagers, the best in the last two or three years, imo.
Two goals, three posts/bars hit, fantastic commitment by Bullard, Mc Bride and Davies, first goal by Nevland, even a solid defence. Am I dreaming or I am awake? We can do it now.....

 

Don, if Liverpool wins tomorrow, that's 5 up on Everton. Tues following Fulham game, they have Chlesea in semis. I think there is a good possibility that they could rest a little aginst the Whites. Of course, a lot of this is just me being extremely wishful.

Either way, I'm excited to see FFC not giving up and still playing hard. I will still be surprised if FFC is able to climb out, but as a fan, i think this is the most proud I've been in my short time as a supporter. Extremely proud of everyone today, and agree, impossible to name man of the match. Fans were outstanding.

 

I had to TIVO the match this morning and just got to watch it. Wow! I couldn't believe how effective Fulham was in the midfield, as others, have commented. I have to admit however after missing 3 sure goals off the woodwork, I had the bad feeling something ugly would occur, but I was wrong.

Birmingham getting a point against Everton was unfortunate for Fulham and Bolton winning was completely unexpected (by me). I still think Bolton is done, we need to draw with Liverpool, beat Citeh and Birmingham, and draw with Portsmouth and hope Birmingham can do no better than 3 draws and a loss to us. If this happens, we stay up!
