I made only one mistake in my starting XI prediction - I thought Jol would play Dejagah instead of Taarabt.
Now get ready for a show with Berba, Ruiz and Taarabt in the same team!
COYW!!!
Yeah seen the confusion on twitter over whether it was Kasami or Ruiz
Actually...
Fulham team to face Arsenal: Stockdale; Riether, Hughes, Hangeland, Riise; Duff, Parker, Sidwell, Taarabt; Kasami; Berbatov #ffc #coyw
Jol why not go for it and bloody start bent
I am amazed that Ruiz is benched - that's a key moment in Fulham's recent history...
Kasami??????? Come on Jol, we need to attack!
Interesting how many shots we actually have today
No Briggs? Disappointed for him. If ever he was going to get a chance to prove himself it was today. Im glad Kasami got another run though.
The Facebook page posted a picture of ashkan a few hours ago, I thought we might play him instead of duff...
Dunno whats taking them so long announcing the bench

Apparently, Ashkan is there only for the autographs...
Strong bench
Dejagah not even on the bench? He must still be injured.
Pace or lack of it may be the problem again for us.

agree. cant see how we will be any different to last week/ last season with this team selection. hope im wrong but what will be different to last week. same 4 attackers that did nothing against a weaker team. hopefully keep it tight for 60 and then bring the big guns on
We need Taarabt and Berbatov to link up nicely today and we also need JAR to ease Walcott out the game, I'm expecting Walcott to be the biggest issue.
A solid line up, stop them running the show and pace off our bench to run them ragged and win the game.
Easy! (fingers crossed, touch wood etc etc )
Berba´s wife won´t be happy. He has just taken one in a very painful area.
