The members of the OSA and all supporters were all very impressed by Wednesday night, a superb display, but some of the OSA may be holding back on early celebrations for the long term as we have been disappointed before. The most memorable for me was Boxing Day 1963, beat Ipswich 10-1, then the very next day lose 4-2 at Portman Road. :016: 17 goals in two games.

I was at both games. Typical bloody Fulham
SG you have my total envy! I missed both! Usually never missed a home game but was away for Christmas. The ultimate come down that must have been. .

Allegedly the defeat was a result of the fact that Ipswich had sobered up by the weekend. Most were Oliver Twist on the Boxing Day. I wasn't at the game, but I vividly remember my delight at seeing the result on the early evening news.
Where did 55 years go?
I think we were a bit Brahms and Liszt in the away fixture! But typical Fulhamish result of the times. Remember when we lost in the away game having walloped Sheffield Wednesday at home. And the massive defeat at Molineux having trounced Wolves at home?
I heard that it was us celebrating the emphatic victory from which we didn't recover in time!
Away from football another big come down must be the current England cricket team! World Cup winners weeks ago and now this...

093.gif but this is proper cricket! Poor captain, chief selector and fairly useless batsmen who aren't up to it. Remember great Ken Barrington, John Edrich, Sir Geoffrey, David Steele would never surrender their wickets. :group hug:
Give me an ashes victory over the Micky mouse stuff every time

I don't know about everyone else but I am struggling to remain cool and calm. After the last display I cannot wait for the next game....was this a flash in the park er pan? :022:

Wednesday night's performance was magnificent and today we will all be looking for more of the same.
This afternoon Parker has to guard against over confidence and ensure the team are prepared for a battle.
