Fulham Vs. West Ham [R]

Both teams come off disappointing losses to lower league sides in the Carling (Micky Mouse) Cup.

Zola is the man with the attacking plan at West Ham. Roy is our hope for a mid-table and beyond finish.

Bobby Z wants revenge and I've checked on the Spammers boards and they are worried about him. Let's hope he can put one or two past them. Now that he is rested let's hope he is up for it.

My line up:

-----Schwarzer-----

Pantsil -- Hangeland -- Hughes -- Konch

Davies -- Jimmy -- Danny -- Gera

Bobby -- Johnson

You know it makes sense.

 

Here's to Pantsil and Zamora - work some magic and show the Spammers what they're missin'!!

COYW's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Johnson opens his account and Gera gets another. 2-0.

 

Dempsey for Gera.

 

One can only hope. :wink:

Bobby "That's" Zamora will bring it for this match!

 

Should be an entertaining affair, and Mike's lineup will surely be the one Roy goes with. After watching the Spam/Newcastle match last weekend the guy we better be concerned with is DiMichele (spelling??). He was absolutely sensational (scored two and assisted on the third) and looks to be a handful. After going scoreless last week (and last night) I look for at least 2 and possibly 3 finding the back of the net for the good guys.

 

Seconded, but unlikely.

Hoping for a repeat performance of the Arsenal match and not so much of the Blackburn disappointment.

Don't think Roy will adjust his side much. Might use a few subs due to the likely fast pace of the match.

Here's to Setanta not throwing the Fulham match under the bus again... Cheers.

 

No preditction except that I will once again miss the chat room and I will probably be without internet access until possibly Monday. Travel soccer officially kicks in this weekend with a trip to Nashville so a preemptive COYW's for the Hammer's match!

 

i think roy has no choice but to keep dempsey on the bench to start the match. what does that tell the team if dempsey starts? that said, bring him on around the 60 minute mark for murph...slide Gera over...give Demps a shot to show his mettle. I say 2-0 for the good guys with Z-bird and F-5 on the score sheet, and Pantsil flying up and down the right flank all day!

 

Hopefully i'll be proven wrong, but I think that this is going to be a tougher match then some people are anticipating. Against Newcastle WHam was quick in attack and Di Michele was very fast ...
I'll optimistically say that we'll take all three points from this one winning 2-1, with goals coming from AJ and Jimmy.

 

I love your optimism ohio4. I agree, the Di Michele guy looks good. I'll take 2-0, 2-1, or whatever as long as we come away with 3 points.

 

FYI: If anyone else has Setanta Broadband, the Fulham v. West Ham match will be on Broadband 2 live at 0955 am.

So at least I'll be able to watch it somehow.

 

DC fans: Summers for West Ham

I plan to be at Summers to watch Saturday's game, although I could be late because my wife and I are running in a 5K Saturday morning. Summers is in Arlington about a block from the Court House Metro station on the Orange Line.

 

I agree with you about Ashton Don. From the little I have seen him he looks extremely talented so I will not be sad to see him miss the Fulham match at all.

I would think that Zamora will be up for this match in particular and I am looking for something special out of him.

 

Anyone confirm Setanta airing the match??

Also, my preview courtesy of theoffside:

 

We should beat WHam, but they seem to play against us. In Premier League action, they are unbeaten at The Cottage (taking 13 of 15 points).
Hopefully, Paintsil and Zamora will be the difference tomorrow against their old team and get us a win. I think it'll be another nail bitter (2-2).
Roy will stick with the same line up as last week and I'm sure he'll bring in plenty of subs. Dempsey should get in there for late heroics.

 

Hah sorry. With FFC24 MIA (where is he??), someone's got to be the 'negative ned'
