According the AFCB fans they are way way better than us, particularly their midfield, much more fluid, their "elite Defence" will take care of us, Fulham are simply "second best", "Fulham have been beaten three times, that's why we are the better team", they should be "13 points ahead after they play us"....this thread has four pages, all but one extolling the virtues of their world beaters, the last thread however was at 10.30 on Sunday morning....90 minutes before they took on the mighty Derby.
Brings back memories of Sounness and Blackburn in 2001.......revenge is a dish best enjoyed cold........I have no comment

The table at the end of the season will not lie. Until then......
In fairness, Lerma and Billing (+Cook and Christie) are possibly better than out CM's. However, Lloyd Kelly is probably the only other player that could make it into our starting 11...

I concur
Soon find out won't we I suppose. I guess my only counter to their claims would be at pointing out the GD. Whilst I appreciate points are the most important statistic, often, when analysing teams, having a gander at the GD is a key indicator of where teams are too.

TC, Harrison and Seri worse than those? I don't think so.
Billing is a dirty player, surprised at how much he gets away with.

we will see in less than a couple of weeks and by the end of the season we will absolutly know. I just don't know why fans get into "we are better than any other team" debates, especially in The Championship and especially after less than half a season. January 1st is when the table starts to tell the real story and then it becomes a battle, where teams like Leeds, Brentford and West Brom are all evidence of how tough it is to get over the line from a good position.
They are pushing for the automatic promotion and have only lost a couple all season.
It would be weird if they didn't back their own side, wouldn't it?

Would you say we are the best? have you watched every other game? backing your side or being delusional to have it come back and bite you on the arse, especially when your manager is as dodgy under pressure as theirs is.
They must be Merchant Bankers as they don't seem to know too much about football.
I would say that we are the best and I would fully expect a Bournemouth to understand that. I also don't understand the whole 'have you watched every other game comment', have you?
Were a Hull City supporter saying it, I would call them delusional, but for a supporter of a side who's team has only lost a couple, is one point off of the top and looking highly likely for automatic promotion, it is anything but a delusional take on things.

I guess it depends when people asked. 5 matches ago I'd of said Bournemouth shaded it to be honest. Now, I think we edge it albeit its margins. Both (or all sides) are capable of beating each other obviously but based on form and squad, I think we should be ok. If I was betting, I'd probably say its a draw waiting to happen.
5-0 Fulham Mr FFC1987
The truth is they must be a good team in this division and we are also a good team.
I saw the derby game and bournemouth were in cruise control in the first half and well on top. in the second they were shambolic.
we have been brilliantish recently scoring for fun but wobbled against coventry, reading and blackpool.
Regarding the bournemouth game I tke the view we are playing derby next so bournemouth are an irelevance at the moment.

Bournmouth fans should be careful, pride often comes before a fall.
They would be wise to save their words for the coach trip home from the Cottage on Saturday 4th December. It could be a quiet trip and anything they have to say will be listened to.
We are all delusional about whatever it is we are supporting. From football club to favourite brand of coffee or butter. The poorer a team becomes the better the fans seem to become about being fair when looking at other clubs. Whoever is better or which player is intimately better in any particular position will always be up to debate. But as others have said. The team highest in the league at the end of the season is the better team.

Mitro, Wilson and Neeskins
If Derby can score three against them, we can do it. We have a very much stronger attack, and a far more astute manager than either Derby or SP. Neither Derby or Bournemouth's strikers are near the quality of Mitro. I have a strange feeling that our players are going to be very much up for this one.

All I'll add is, I wouldn't underestimate Solanke. He's becoming a decent striker and I think will be EPL quality come next season. Be interested in how he and Mitro do next season in EPL.

Tosin back, Tete back, we have NO ONE to fear my friend
This is shaping up to be a very exciting fixture. Hope we absolutely smash them, but don't expect that will be the case. I do expect us to win, however.
I can't wait to play them, really looking forward to it. Understandably some fans don't wanna get Carried away with our recent success, but the way we are playing I'd put us against anyone in championship. I think we would give anyone out of the top six in the premier league a good game aswell.
When i look at goal difference it's pretty obvious that FFC will finish top and with some margin.If we stay injury free.

Definitely quiet, coach left on 3rd December.
Can't wait for the Bournemouth game.
Would like to wipe the smile off Parker's face!
When Mitro thumps the net will Parkers tie pin fall off?
Interesting reading the threads before and after the Derby defeat. Some recognising we have the better team. One thing about their site I found similar to ours, the language was under control.
Bournemouth is a nice community club and I have nothing against their supporters.
So far this season we've scored considerably more goals, won more matches and have more points.
Still 84 points to play but I'll take those stats as I fully anticipate the gap to widen further shortly before 10pm on December 3rd.
Would like to see Bournemouth in the PL.
But they're not better than us, they're not a free scoring team so they'll need to address that if they go up. Bottom line, we're playing them at the right time, fully fit team with Tosin coming back in and Fabio Cav back in the fold. We're top of the league so we're the favourites. Should make for a great game of football- looking forward to watching it.

You will be rufus. Mitro has a big point to prove to SP
...Preston ended our unbeaten run of eleven games in 2000 and also pipped us to the division 3 title in 1971,by using strong arm tactics in on the last day of the season at the cottage . Bit of a bogey team so that will be a difficult one.

Isn't that all Jim's doing??? Jeez!
I don't see them as anything different to what we are being.
We've both had very good starts to the season with random blips. We had ours beforehand, they're having one now.
I don't rate Parker as a very agile manager and think in silva we have a better man manager and tactician.
We've been particularly good in the last seven games, in the last six We've conceded 1 I think and scored 21 and that was with tosin out for three and playing some of the leagues top ten teams.
Statistically it's hard to separate the teams, both are pretty dominant at this level so far.
The only differences are that our forward line seems to for the large part all be a threat and scoring, which is a nightmare to prepare against. On top of that we've been conceding very few..
The only games we can really gauge performances are their game against West brom 2-2, as west brom have similarly been quite far ahead of the pack for most of the season until recently and their most comparable recent games against Preston and Derby, which they lost both and We've got both two teams in our next two games.
Derby have everything to fight for and every point to prove, all the motivation they need to get at games. Was their match against Bournemouth a one off, or are they doing a Wigan of a few seasons ago where they put together an unbeaten run but still got relegated due to a points deduction but nearly stayed up. Will our standards be up there in the same way they have been recently dispatching of top teams and in form teams by a clear margin or not.
The next three games could be very telling.
Personal and subjective opinion/hunch is that I think we'll start with Tete and Robinson as full backs which will cover the pace of Bournemouth and that unless we have an off day our forward line will definitely score and with our GF column being what it is if we score one or two without reply then it could be 3.
I've admittedly not watched much of Bournemouth but I don't see solanke as much of a threat as a sole striker in comparison to mitro.

Come on. Be bold. Don't hide. Tell us against whom you see our run ending.
people seem to be forgetting that we're only 1 point ahead of them and only went into first place last weekend, something which could change as early as tomorrow. The rivalry is bubbling up nicely, but I do hope Mitro has the last laugh.

Well clearly Bournemouth. We all know, deep down, it'll go either way. It doesn't have a draw written all over it. Some of our players have a point to prove, especially Mitro and I can see Parker setting up to get his players winding him up and getting him sent off.
He won't fall for that, and whilst they are hounding mitro, Harry, Neeskins and Fabio will score.
Blingo thinks Mitro hat trick tho.

This is my worry regarding Mitro as he will be desperate to score against Bournemouth to prove a point. As I posted on another thread I can see him scoring and getting in SP's face and getting a red....
Surely he has already proved a point?
I hope he realises that and doesn't feel he needs to use the B'mouth game to prove anything.
However, it would be the icing on the cake!

My thoughts were it
does have draw written all over it.
Parker will be keen not to lose to us because;
A) he won't want to give up ground to a title rival.
B) he's a cautious coach by nature and he knows we probably have more strength in depth than Bournemouth do.
C) he has too much pride to let his Bournemouth team lose to us after the way he walked out in the summer. He won't want it to look like he made the wrong choice.
I'm wathing West Brom and they seem to be back at it again although they are yet to score.
There is no room for too many slips ups, they'll be on top of both us and Bournemouth given the chance if they continue to play the way they are at the moment.
nice little half century there!
Bournemouth have a very talented squad but they have a manager who will want to play possession football against us - I think we will deal with that, break them
down and win the game by a couple of goals - Parker has no other way of playing.I actually think he is quite pragmatic and will see the bigger picture I.e promotion- a win at the cottage is not essential for that.
Somerset Fulham - I don't agree with you about West Brom at all - there is very little evidence to suggest you are correct in your assessment of WBA.

But that's the thing isn't it. You're not going to trouble the top spot if you can't score goals.
They've picked up 4 pts from the last possible 15 and only scored twice in that run.
No I didn't watch it, it falls very low on my list of things to do of a Tuesday before we even get to the fact I don't have sky, but 25 shots at goal tonight and no goals tells it's own story no?
Feels like teams have worked them out to an extent and they are no where near good enough at creating or putting away chances.
We've been through a patch, Bournemouth maybe heading into theirs too. It happens. I'm not suggesting that they will catch us, but they certainly have a squad capable of doing so and it's something to be aware of, especially if they change managers in the near future.
In that respect my post has aged just as I expected it too.

In that respect my post has aged just as I expected it too.
Well hey listen I don't mean to get into he said she said too much but...
You very much did say..

... they'll be on top of both us and Bournemouth given the chance if they continue to play the way they are at the moment.
Which admittedly might be tricky if they don't score another goal.. like they did tonight.
They just don't have a goal threat. No manager in the world is going to be able to change that without bringing someone into the side in Jan. They remind me a bit of us last year when Parker left Mitrovic on the bench. We huffed and puffed well enough but you just couldn't see where we were going to get goals from.
It's the same with Brom. They're not a bad side but they need some fire power.
What a strange argument to want to pick. They will be on top of us if we give them the chance, of course they will.
At the time I posted tonight they were well, well on top and playing well too. If that continues they will win games, then all it takes is for us to lose a couple then they're back in it.
I don't understand what you're trying to prove here, really.
Whoa there easy fella. No arguments or points here, just a bit of light taking the mick that's all.
Your admiration for a Baggies side after a 0-0 with Blackpool who could potentially be 10 points off second just seems an odd hill to die on.

I agree, they have repeatedly flattered to deceive and the fans have fallen out of love with the manager pretty quickly. The problem for them is if they don't bounce back straight away the more difficult it becomes to get back, as we know all too well.
WBA could come back into it of course, personally I don't think that will be because we have taken our foot off the gas but because the team below us and in particular their manager, will make some strange decisions.

We're on a run, which will end at some point. I can see where, but I don't want to jinx it and would love to be proved wrong.
From your 'matter of fact' view on other matters, it surprises me to see you embracing superstitious clap-trap.
Come on. Be bold. Don't hide. Tell us against whom you see our run ending.
Well clearly Bournemouth. We all know, deep down, it'll go either way. It doesn't have a draw written all over it. Some of our players have a point to prove, especially Mitro and I can see Parker setting up to get his players winding him up and getting him sent off.
My thoughts were it does have draw written all over it.
Parker will be keen not to lose to us because;
A) he won't want to give up ground to a title rival.
B) he's a cautious coach by nature and he knows we probably have more strength in depth than Bournemouth do.
C) he has too much pride to let his Bournemouth team lose to us after the way he walked out in the summer. He won't want it to look like he made the wrong choice.
I agree with that. They're a good side who will cause us problems as they have some quality, and if you remember back, arguably our best performance in the Parker promotion season was sneaking the win in the home game against Leeds, where we entirely set up to counter them, rather than seek to do anything ourselves.
They have the second best squad in the league but there isn't a single player of theirs who would get into a combined starting 11. I would take our player in literally every position.

I wrote I think it'll be a draw and look, another example of the dismissive attitude people are calling you out for. Jeez
I wasn't replying to you though. I dont think it will be a draw. If you do, that's fine. Jeez.
