FULHAM @t Newcastle [R]

I'll have to tape the game on Setanta, as I will enjoy my recently discovered ability to go to Rutgers football games for free as a graduate student (and now that they are a competant football team).

I do hope Fulham spoils Newcastle at St. James Park with strikes from Jimmy Bullard and Brian McBride. I think Niemi will have to have a HUGE game for Fulham to have a chance, though.

 

Well if it is "dreadfully unpopular" I'll join the club. This seems the most logical way for us to get a point with the team mentality we have going.

 

This might not be the right spot to ask this, but whats the deal with Routledge. I know we have him on loan, but has it been confirmed that we have an option to buy?

 

Newcastle v Fulham

- Heeeyyyyy! I had a great time with the Geordies at last January's match -- both in the Tube and at the Cottage! Good blokes, all -- especially after the 1-0 victory!!

- Isn't this the place where Cookie fell in love with the 4-5-1?? Actually, I was a bit shocked that he didn't use it at Old Trafford.

- NU doesn't threaten me, but being away does. I'll be happy with a point and ecstatic with three. I'm not optimistic, but then, I'm usually Eeyore when it comes to away matches.

COYW!!!!

 

Hi Wockenfuss,
He is on loan until May, although I was told that he can't play against the Spus when we meet him and, in fact, we have an option to buy him in May at a price of 2-3 million quid.

Also, as a side note, we arrived at the hotel last night and guess who greeted us when we got there. Franck Quedrue! So, in fact, we are staying at the players hotel and I've seen almost everyone up here..good stuff and I'm feeling confident.

Re: Newcastle - FFC -- NYC Meet-up??

We'll bethere Rudy...watch out though I am bringing the whole tribe including the father-in-law!

 

Let's hope Fulham is feeling confident also. This game should be a blast. I'm feeling 1-2 at the current moment. I'll be heading to Pensacola to watch the replay with good friends, who are Newcastle fans, at 2:30. So I can't peek.

Come On You Super Whites!!

 

Re: Newcastle - FFC -- NYC Meet-up??

Rudy - check your PMs. Something has come up with some relatives in town and I can't make it to Queens.

 

RE: Newcastle v. FFC [R]

That was amazing.

Now we have to hope the injuries don't end up too bad. They said dislocated knee for Bullard with possible ligament damage, pending MRI. We have to hope there's none.

 

SOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY....and who said they didnt like those new third kits.....i say wear em every away match!!!! Macca scoring and then boca getting some....go on........to good to be true for us yanks and most importanly for fulham...HUGE win...but i do worry about Mr. Bullard...he has held the team on his back through the first 4 points....i pray its not that lengthy of a injury best wishes JB..............now my Tar Heels just took a 3-0 lead on Virginia Tech and hopefully other florida teams UCF and USF can win and it will be a treat....but the 2-1 line is FANTASTIC!!!! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

Coleman interview on Sky -- PP, Saturday, September 09, 05:23:26pm
Injury was complete accident, Jimmy is going to be OK. Very pleased that they kept working.

Damage to kneecap, off to hospital but might not be as bad as first thought.

-------------------

Let's hope!

 

I cannot believe I didn't pony up the $4 to hear Gentleman Jim's radio... ESPN Matchcast didn't do it justice, but I'll gladly accept the maximum!

COYWs!!!

What a day for the Fulham Americans.

 

What a great result. Boca and McBlood saved the day. From the post-match comments, Cookie sounds somewhat upbeat regarding Bullard. Let's hope he's right. Get well soon, Jimmy!

 

My, oh my, we just beat Poocastle... on the road! Again! It was really reminiscent of the Man City match from last year, when we scored two goals in the final 10 minutes. We'll hope that the boys can repeat that kind of commitment every match, particularly on the road.

COYWs! Well done!

 

Great news that Bullard is alright, also great to get a road victory early on in the season. Can anyone post highlights of the goals?

 

Sorry to say Jimmy is far from being alright , CC quoted " we will have a clearer picture after the scans & x rays on monday "
