Fulham v Derby - Championship Playoffs 2018

Highlights!

 

And...let's sing along with the Hammy End!
QUE SERA, SERA!
WHATEVER WILL BE, WILL BE!
WE'RE GOING TO WEM-BUH-LEE!
QUE SERA, SERA!

 

Stayed up for an hour last night just reading the Twitters on FFC. Then I got to thinking, I sure hope the team isn't on this celebration for as long as the fans and focus immediately. Then I realized that I was a debbie downer and went back to singing! Thanks Jump.

 

FULHAM ARE GOING TO WEMBLEYYYYYYYYY

Rewatched the game last night knowing the result, and it reinforced just how good we were defensively. Derby has a few sniffs but managed just 1 SoT (making it a total of 2 in both games combined). AK was phenomenal, Fredericks, Cairney, and Johansen all alive after a 2 match slumber, Targett back to full fitness. Man, cannot wait for the final.

This is really dumb, but isn't it because LEGACY? Like, the FA Cup Final usually gets its own weekend.

And the EFL likes to stagger the L2, L1, and C'ship finals in consecutive days at Wembley, making a "weekend" of it. And those lower leagues are still having their playoffs until Thursday I believe.

I personally find the layoff results in some crappy finals that are too conservative and cagey. This will be the first I've watched in at least 5 years. But, oh well!

 

Official highlights via Derby. It includes a few seconds at the end of Odoi enjoying his moment riding on the shoulders of Fulham supporters - doesn't get old watching the rest of the highlights either.

 

And you should check out Fulham 1879 FanTV's video. It includes a fair amount of footage from on the pitch after the victory, a quick interview with Roy Hodgson, an interview with Rui Fonte, plus an interview with a very happy Matt Targett who gets a kiss from some stranger walking down the sidewalk who happened to be Marcus Bettinelli.

 

Fulham has posted the full match video of the victory over Derby so that ANYONE can watch it. You do not need a subscription to Fulham TV. Even if you watched it live, you should check this out just for the GJ commentary.
