Craven Cottage
Wow
A full preview on the game in the US.... A TON of respect for Silva and FFC.
That's a NEW attitude on display.
They have us as .. the favourites even without Mitro.
I like it but not necessarily in the same frame of mind.
Come on Fulham
Bloody BT mob just drooling Chelsea Chelsea Chelsea, let's thrash em and shut these f....ers up! Come on Fulham
Let's hope Vinicius silences all doubters. I have a feeling Andreas will score the first
Bt are chelsea rent boys though
blimey I thought they were going to score in the first minute
COYW!!!! 049:gif
was that a hand ball?
Is the riverside stand not open? It looks empty on tv.
nearly
Great... is this the kind of ref we'll get?
yellow for robinson
No Jedi next match
Also, can't remember the last time Fulham started out attacking the Hammy End :023:
chelsea should have got a yellow then
Missing this rearranged game cos we are on holiday. COYWs
Whos gettin red tonight
Too many early yellows here

Unlikely to be a Chelsea player - outrageous officiating so far
Sounds like we're being battered. Of course Chelsea would pick this game to show up after months of being shite
Ref's always help the corrupt. typical so called big team supporting ref. dirty russian cash in his pocket from their last turd owner
Pretty lacklustre in possession so far and the ref is a bit card happy
Our defence needs to settle down
We must stop giving the ball away
Can't string two passes together, we look like deer in the headlights
so close
Hit the bar
GET IN!!!!!!
Unlucky Bobby. Really need to finish those off.
COME ON!!!!!
Wow, get in lads!
Nice!! Keep it up 049:gif
nearly got one
Celebrate that you p****!!!
Yeeeees
yes
W I L I A N COYW!!!!! 049:gif
Playing poorly and get the lead. All the felix arse licking can stop now bbc
Yes!!!
Get in there heard from Somerset to London ..... sorry neighbours
Yes yes yes get in there.
Think we are missing Diop.
don't want to keep on but we must stop giving them the ball.
Vinicius looks good

I must be getting the BBC feed here in the States. Couple of maroons.
Vinicius doing well so far being a pest and linking the play
Jaoa Felix keeps going offside. That's a good sign our offside trap is working
Both teams giving the ball away a lot.
Leno is just pure class
Let's get the second before half time so I can relax a little
Any streams for US watchers?

I could have seen that one being a red
"it always looks worse in slow-mo..." Idiots. Time for mute.
Chalobah translated means poo tackler

Mute the tv and listen to GJ and Jamie.
Leno again
Tosin very lucky there
leno brilliant. robinson/tosin giving the ball away
We complain about our Chalobah but seems we have the better of the two!
we have only had 1 shot this half
I know they were hammering us a bit at the start but don't remember them having 14 shots
2nd goal would be nice, would it be greedy wanting 3 goals?
Happy to have the lead at half time without playing our best. Good endeavour but we need to press them more they will make mistakes at the back. We are quite deep and giving away too many chances. Felix looks v good for them. COYW
Felix did look good the 1st half. But 14 shots?? Leno so good. Robinson still winds me up. Good luck for the second half and that the Chelsea defence continue as they started ha ha.

Watching this with a Chelsea mate, neither of us could remember the phantom 14 shots
A very solid first half. Leno was huge, Willian and Palhinha were lively and active. Defence was pretty solid, but I felt we're lacking something offensively. I'd really love to have Solomon's creativity and goal threat in the second half.
Let's win it 049:gif
As a team we are running our socks off. I can see fresh legs coming on pretty quickly
Half-time thoughts:
-front three have been exceptional
-Leno, Pereira, Tete, Ream and Palhinha all excellent
-A mixed performance from Reed and Robinson
-Tosin very shaky
-referee gives yellows for every Fulham foul but none to Chelsea players(well apart from the one to Chalobah that could have maybe even been a red)
I don't think I've ever seen a scum team this poor. I don't think we are playing that badly, especially since we're playing a man down to their twelve.
Quote from: keithh on January 12, 2023, 08:44:36 PM

official scoring gives us six shots. Two on goal.
A decent effort in that half but a few players looking a bit nervous - I'd include Ream and Reed in that. Willian showing class is permanent. Vinicius putting in a decent shift and causing them some problems.
We need to stop giving the ball away in our own half, and get some more balls into the box because they don't look confident defending.
Really good half. Let's attack more and I'm sure we'll get a second.
Without Joao Felix this team would be dirt
BT Sport are a joke, all our success was due to Chelsea mistakes and Chelsea's played really well and have been unlucky. Absolutely ridiculous
I need to have better passing in the 2nd half.
Can't believe I'm saying this, but this match is screaming for Dan James.

Agreed, Ream has struggled a bit today.

Our two big chances came directly from Chelsea errors, so that's not entirely unfair.
Carlos Vinicius playing quite well tonight, much improved
Chelsea have to come out full out attack. Hopefully they will leave themselves open at the back. Oh and we have to keep an eye on this Felix bloke
Chelsea are definitely dangerous going forward and with better finishing could be out of sight. If we manage a second I fancy their heads to drop but there is a long way to go in this game.
The Tosser (Morris) on sky sports news reporting on the game is supposed to be giving a balanced view surely?
But you may as well be watching Chelscum TV for what its worth!
COYW!
Our keeper is terrific.
I think we also need Cairney pretty early in the half. We're having a hard time retaining possession in the middle of the pitch.
Darn. Went across the line.
Not Tosin's best game.
Why can you not head our fans
Quote from: TheCeiling on January 12, 2023, 09:08:01 PM
Not Tosin's best game.
He and Reed have been really shaky.
Damn
Was never a foul for their goal. Why is Diop not playing
Can we get some fair calls here?
I leave for 2 minutes...
Gotta day Felix looks very good
Given them a massive lift
I just knew mount was going near post with that free kick. Poor way to concede
Suprised to see Diop dripped tbh. Tosin not been awful but think we've looked stronger with Diop at the back
Never a fool for their goal
RED!!!
Straight red for Chelsea!
Red card Felix
Our Joao is better than yours
Signs yesterday, sent off today 🤣
Haha, welcome to the premier league
Looks class, silly tackle
What's a gift, their best player off. I thought the ref was going to bottle it for a second
Hard to complain about that straight red. Very late, very high and studs into Tete.
And suspended for our best game with them right? Brilliant stuff
Terrible challenge
Please don't sit back like we did against City
Tosin should never be playing over Diop

That's hilarious, unless they win an appeal then yeah he is out for the away fixture
I'd like to see Cairney for Reed and Solomon for BDR in the next few minutes

No chance
Off his feet out of control studs up.
No malice in it but it's a bad challenge.
Mitro back and no Felixstowe at the cottage. Bring it on
Don't really see why everyone is complaining about Tosin. Been the better of our central defenders today in my opinion. Ream unusually shaky. But as always we see things differently.

Exactly what I want as well. I don't feel Wilson is sharp enough so far (nor James) and the upside with Solo is high with the things he can add up to our game. Want him to be a regular already.
Come on Tom and Harry!
Solomon instead of Wilson for me
But gutted not to see more of Manor here.
Guess he'll get 15mins
They need to step on their neck...
solomon looked very eager as sub last game
We look like the team with 10 for some reason I can't understand
Quote from: Caedal on January 12, 2023, 09:21:12 PM
Tosin should never be playing over Diop
Agree Diop should be first choice on recent form
Boom!
Goal to VINI!!!!
YEEEESSSSS!!!
Yeeeees
easy
What a wicked freaking cross.
CARLOS THINKS HE IS MITRO AND HE IS!!!
pin point cross
i was just going to say nice to see lots of movement up front
Vinicius on fire
Absolutely delicious cross that was from Andreas.
Great to see Carlos score his first in our colours!
Need to keep on the front foot though
Carlos deserves that goal. He's been quality today.
Quote from: HobGoblin on January 12, 2023, 09:35:30 PM

Yep, keep the foot on the petal Fulham and bury this. A third would be fantastic.
just getting a bit complacent passing it around on the verge of giving the ball away all the time
too much hot potato
Pick out that cross for the goal. What a player Perreira is.
Four subs for Chelsea. Might be good to bring on Dan and have him run hard at the defense.
Every stream to watch is so poor
good pressing there
got the ball back
Solomon
Wilian off and Mannor on.
Solo is coming in!
We still look so open at the back
Keep attacking Fulham
Solomon on

I'm listening on Talksport...but that awful woman pundit is co-commentatijg....I have nothing against women pundits, honest, but she is SO bad. She just talks in cliches and keeps saying things and then saying "but I'm not saying that..." Etc...hard work.
nice to see a bit of trickery for the last few mins, draw a few fouls waste some time

i gave up. she keeps going on and on and on
never shuts up
we seem to be freezing and letting them play around us
Who has 10?
6 min's
Come on lads, let's hold this one out
I was expecting 4-5 but 6?
Uh oh Chalobah

Leanne Anderson, who's aid mitro could do it in the prem, makes Clinton Morrison sound good

Up to 6th!!
We did it 049:gif
What a win!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees
Get the hell in, up to 6th :D

Amazing! We were the better team, I believe!
At this rate we may be staying up!

Thinking of my late father who was a lifelong Fulham fan and passed away in July. He will be glowing in heaven.
That win feels REALLY good.
What was the song they were singing?

Shes full of herself and its all bollocks!
But she ticks several boxes in this woke media world apart from ticking the box on intelligent game analyst.
I love Fulham
Stamford bridge is falling down, falling down
Build it up in Black and white, Black and white
Poor old C..........
YEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!
