The Mighty Fulham @ Sunderland

Turning right back around, we have another game on Sunday v. Sunderland. With Bobby Z out, and who knows who might need a break to heal from the recent workload, blah blah blah,

How about 3 points on the road? Sunderland cannot win a game to save their lives -- winless in 13 games.

My guess ---

-----------Schwarzer
---Baird -- Smalling -- Hughes -- Shorey
-- Duff -- Murphy -- Etuhu -- Gera
--------Elm -- Nevland

-- Zuber..., Hangeland, Greening, Riise, Kelly, Okaka, Dikgachoi

All of this is assuming Zamora is out, if he isn't , then he goes in for Nev, Nev drops to the bench, and Dikgachoi is scratched. It also would further prove the auxilliary theory that, as usual, I'm just advertising my ignorance.

Curse be damned, I'm calling it now -- 2-0 to the 1st time Europa round of 16 qualifiers.

 

Zamora is doubtful for Sunday -- http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story ... ue&cc=5901

 

Well if Sunderland are that bad and we're on the road then we're probably going to lose.

But whatever -- we just beat Shaktar. :banana: :banana:

FSC is airing the game on tape delay at noon.

 

RE: Re: The Mighty Fulham @ Sunderland

I'd start the Irish Kaka over Nevland

 

I'm sure Steve Bruce is thanking his lucky stars he's catching Fulham on this of a short week and w/no Bobby. Elm and Nevland together? slow and slower. Who knows maybe they can lull the Sunderland D to sleep. I agree with letting Okaka get some serious playing time (more than 15 minutes). I think Roy has to be very careful w/his veteran players. Wouldn't be surprised to see Greening, Riise on the pitch. Honestly don't think we're getting anything out of this game, hope I'm wrong.

 

I'm expecting it to be ugly and for us to get nothing. We're 0-1-2 at Sunderland since '05. We may be on a roll, but the Blackcats usually give us problems and our old legs are bound to be tired. I'll like our chances better if I see #25 on the pitch.

 

D'oh Don couldn't you have picked a team that we didn't lose to twice last season to put in that statement.

I would like to see O'kaka and Nevland up top together. Young legs and energy next to the sage wisdom and goal poaching ability of Nevland.

 

Earlier this week I told myself that I'd be fine with losing at Sunderland if we could beat Shakhtar, and now I guess I've gotta put my money with my mouth is. A result would be great, but if we lose, it'll still have been a great week.

 

the ukraine high will earn fulham a draw. coyw.

 

With GJ's ISDN line disconnected at the Stadium of Light, I am listening to match commentary now on BBC London 94.1. Please try: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/bbc_london

 

(And the play by play commentator sounds like Alan Partridge!)

 

For those waiting to watch,....turn away.



0-0, but some nifty possession.

 

I have justed watched the first half, for those who think Zamora should be playing for England need to see a Doctor and QUICK!!!

 

Good enough.

David Elm is really slow.

 

DONKEY comes to mind!!!!
