who'd have thought that Mitro would start on the bench?
Early & Often!!! COYW!! ::scarf::
COYW!
Back in Black.
they look as if they are gonna be wide open at times
Good start, they're very narrow and not exactly pressing us either so Willian and Wilson are going to be key
terrible cut back from vinny?
Rishi Sunak in the stands... in a completely unrelated situation I would love us to relegate Southampton today
Quote from: Black, White and Fred on May 13, 2023, 03:09:43 PMRishi Sunak in the stands... in a completely unrelated situation I would love us to relate Southampton today
eg
That was...audacious from Tosin
Villa 1 up
Nearly pulled off a Ribery/Robben from the corner
Chelsea 1 down
sleepy emoji
Our crossing has been terrible
Interesting stat. Robinson has put in more crosses than any other premiership player this season. He has 1 assist!
Mentioned Jedi has one assist in the PL... ouch
We've reverted to lump it into the box tactics against the worst team in the league, why?
We seem to be reverting to hopefully crossed today. If that was our plan, then why not start Mitro?
Quote from: Caedal on May 13, 2023, 03:25:40 PMOur crossing has been terrible
It hasn't been great but not quite so bad as the commentator/whinger has been claiming.
How's that not a penalty
So why wasn't that a penalty?
how is that not a penalty?
VAR, what is the point of it?
The build ups are good but our quality in the final third is poor, we have to improve.
accidental? when has that ever mattered nowadays?
That was a Penalty, it stopped the flight of the ball.
Accidentally or otherwise it was a pen.
VAR is a the Dog End of football.
He didn't pick it up and run with it, so no penalty
Seriously that is a terrible decision
So apparently if the ref gave it, it wouldn't have been overturned. What is the point in VAR?
If he doesn't stop it with his arm it goes straight to Diop
Another terrible VAR decision, it's actually getting boring now. You could see from his face he knew he'd handled it. Arm extended and stopped a Fulham player from winning the ball.
Sky Sports News - I've seen them given just about sums it up.
2 chances of us getting a penatly, by the ref = 0, by VAR = f-ck all!!
in the first half hour thats the first runner weve had but tom fluffed his lines with the pass
This ref is rubbish, send him back to the EFL
corner = back to the goalie
Dare I say this game is crying out for Mitro already.
oh so close
Palace 1 up
So that's a handball for Harry but not the one in the penalty box?
SO that's a handball by Wilson but not by their CB???
Poor first half, can only get better!
Mitro ASAP
The officials in the PL are so unbelievably useless
Mitro for Vini at half time. Vinicius is playing like a wet lettuce.
Our offensive game is very predictable. I'm a bit tired of these empty crosses.
Would like to see new ideas of how to attack and create good chances.
Quote from: ron on May 13, 2023, 03:48:30 PMMitro for Vini at half time. Vinicius is playing like a wet lettuce.
He's had absolutely no service, how do you come to that conclusion?
So the ball twice hits a Fulham players hand/arm who doesn't know much about it in the middle of the pitch and its a free kick.
But the same thing happens in their penalty area by a defender and its not!
The commentator even said "well it was going wide anyway" as if that's relevant?

Relax. Mitro will come on for the second half and be in the right place at the right time.

Agree, he's dire.
1 down ? Or 1 up, my feed gave it both ways
off
1 up
You mean up
Better Fulham come on!!
Quote from: junior white on May 13, 2023, 04:03:44 PM1 down ? Or 1 up, my feed gave it both ways

Finally 1 up, thats why Vini started
Vini!
and the wet lettuce scores!!!!

My feed said one down then 1 up, not in the Uk so wasnt sure
Absurd ball by TC, fantastic effort from Reed
Quote from: ron on May 13, 2023, 03:48:30 PMMitro for Vini at half time. Vinicius is playing like a wet lettuce.
Well he can carry on playing like that then.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEES

TC executes passes others don't even see. Proper class.
Better scoring record than Mitro this season, keep him on the pitch until we are 3 up
willian giving tc too much to do there, another goal and the saints will become sinners
willian bit off today
According to the BBC live text it's a wonderful effort from Tim Ream to set up Vini's goal - fair play to him with his duff arm to get himself into Southampton's 6 yard box
Quote from: TC's Sporran on May 13, 2023, 04:06:00 PMand the wet lettuce scores!!!!
He must have spent the interval in the salad crisper...
If results stay as they are, we will finish the season above that lot down the road!
Sky seem really upset we've scored!

Yeah it must have registered the saints goal that was chalked off. I'm watching on a slight delay so went through the range of emotions after I saw your post haha
Quote from: SP on May 13, 2023, 04:11:46 PMSky seem really upset we've scored!
Surprised VAR didn't disallow it
Great reporting by the Beeb:
Just moments after seeing a goal ruled out, the home side go a goal behind. Tim Ream wants it more in the box, sliding in to tackle Lyanco and send the ball to Carlos Vinicius, who cannot miss. He rolls the ball into a largely unguarded net.

Remarkable what Tim can do, is there no end to his powers!
Sky just as bad. Michael Dawson, 'Fulham get really really fortunate. Reed slides in and the ball just hits him...'

I'd bring willian off. He seems tired
Mitro time
I don't recall any history with Michael Dawson but he looks as though he's stepped in something nasty every time he mentions us.
Who is that #9?
Hope Mitro doesn't end up with a red card today, FA might be out for more revenge!
joao not had his best game today but some of his passing is more questionable than usual just like then.
mitro on and to score?
The commentator really dislike us

Is Dan James injured?
Cairney subbed. Who is captain now?
Well played Tom.

2-0
YESSSS!!!!
Yes! Mitro!
Good to see Mitro back but a shame TC had to come off, he has been my MoM.
Of course
Mitro
Mitro yessssss
::wine:: Thanks Mitro, wine time
inevitable
MITRO
great header
Quote from: Twig on May 13, 2023, 04:28:58 PMGood to see Mitro back but a shame TC had to come off, he has been my MoM.
yeah a strange one. but its 2-0 and surely the points are safe
Who else but Mitro?
I'm not fussed about the Bees but finishing above that lot down the road would be brilliant.
What took Mitro so long, he had been on the pitch for 7 minutes, obviously not fit.
Quote from: SP on May 13, 2023, 04:31:33 PMI'm not fussed about the Bees but finishing above that lot down the road would be brilliant.
Totally agree.
Seven minutes, welcome back the big man.
Mitro showing his class almost immediately

Relax. Mitro will come on for the second half and be in the right place at the right time.
Give me the benefit of the doubt, wet lettuce notwithstanding...?
Spurs 2 nil down ::yay::
Quality finish to that cross too

Haha, more like lettuce with mustard dressing! Still it's good to see the return of the main man.
Be great to see Neeskens score
We almost had Mitro, Wilson and Neeskins on for the first time all season
Sky just reminded me that we have now equalled our highest total of goals scored for a season in the Prem.
Have to say I agree with this:
Sacking Hasenhuttel rather than backing him with cash proving to be a ludicrous decision.
Quote from: HobGoblin on May 13, 2023, 04:34:00 PMQuality finish to that cross too
I am happy that Vinicius has stepped up and showed he can be a capable back up, but that header from Mitrovic is a finish that only a very small handful of players would have converted - absolute class.
Quote from: Twig on May 13, 2023, 04:36:50 PMSky just reminded me that we have now equalled our highest total of goals scored for a season in the Prem.
All sorts of records up for grabs for us today, most wins, most away wins, most goals and I think 1 more goal for Mitro to have his best tally.
Lavia is a foul machine

Let's hope we break them all!
Couldn't leave early when my team has been relegated but I guess FFC fans have had a bit more practice than Saints fans?
I've been staggered by the lack of fight and urgency by Saints. They've been so so passive
put on a shirt... ::cool::
Kane's cheating being defended by the Sky pundits

According to VAR it wasn't cheating! (Apparently).
Solomon with the ball at his feet is such a dynamic dribbler, I hope we can keep him
FT
Great result.

Yes - agreed.

It's a bit of a mystery to me why he hasn't had more game time.
Well done Fulham, good luck to the Saints next season in the Championship.
Well done Fulham.
YES YES YES
Should we try and sign Ward Prowse?
With all the positives for us it may be wrong to focus on the ref but in a game with little bite he was another very poor official in my opinion.
