Is there something unique about our Europa campaign in all of football. In that Roy has of course coached the team well, brought his experienece of the oposition to bare etc but has uniquely been able to tell his team, without cliche, to go out there and express yourselves. It does not matter if you lose.. there is no life or death bulls*** here.. play for yourselves , play for the joy of the game aganist the best in Europe

On balance, taking into account the results from the Great Escape, globally this has to be the biggest result in the history of our club. After the Pompey game I was in tears of relief. This time it's different - euphoria - not just the win but the manner of it. Remembering the awful early 90's, it was all soo worth it. I am as proud as I can possibly be. I'm a Fulham fan and so pleased to be.

LB - I was at the Newcastle game and as great as it was we did not win it.
Obviously I wasn't there tonight but this must go down as our greatest victory in the fifty-nine years I have been supporting Fulham.
With respect to our relegation defying wins against Man City and Pompey we had done that before - who was at Northampton for example?
But this was something special against one of Europe's top teams. It's not that we beat them but how we beat them.
I am elated for the players and envious of those who witnessed it. What a result.

Mr CorkedHat,
You forget it is a different game now. Relegation is a complete and utter financial disaster now and if you don't come straight back up, game is pretty much over... A Fantastic game and surely our best game and result at the Cottage ever.
However, had we not beat Pompey away we would not have played Juventus this year. It would have been impossible. And that is a fact.
So I will argue that Pompey away was still the most important game in Fulham history. Sorry for being a party pooper on this glorious day. Maybe I am grumpy and jealous because I wasn't there either... |

Been following since 1960, watched it in USA this afternoon, absolutely brilliant. They took Juventus apart!!!
Mr. Finn, you are right, bloody dogged determination. Great night though, wish I could have been there. The quality of the play, the quality of the goals. BZ gets 10 tonight and the rest all get a 9.

But not most important
Sorry Finn but have to disagree, tonight has set us up for a cup game next week that could see us playing at Wembley and anyway the question is not about the most important it is about the best game of football at Craven Cottage and tonight was. |

Mr Peabody,
If you read Ed's original message again he also calls it most important and that is just what my point is, because I still don't believe it was, even if we win the entire Europa League. Prem survival is more important, just for the finances alone.
I am just very jealous on you and the others that got to see it first hand. :045:

This is without doubt the most significant result at the cottage in our history. 4-1 at home to Juve, realistically, it just doesn't get better than that.
I'm just so proud of the boys, and the job that Roy done at this club. 2 years ago, we could only dream of nights such as tonight.
I'm still pinching myself, we have just taken apart one of the premier teams in world football - amazing.

Shame is that we cannot enjoy the tv highlights. |

One of the best, for me personally THE Best, Pompey away was not the proudest moment due to the poor season before, THE best atmosphere as well for me!

I was definitely thinking that was the best game I've ever seen on the way out. Guess it needs a bit of time to add perspective but I think it's going to be hard to beat. Brilliant football, edge of the seat stuff, come back from an impossible defecit and a sublime match winning goal. Unbelievable really and what a cracking atmosphere.
I'm walking on air and smiling from ear to ear.

A truly amazing game and a privelege to be there. Please don't shower praise on us supporters that were lucky enough to be present. Many of you have a much longer legacy with this beautiful club and you deserve this moment also. It's yours too guys, enjoy it, embrace it and revel in it.
PTBF!
