We all know our Monday night record. Everton are good on the road and Richarlison always seems to put in a performance against us. For all those reasons I’d settle for a point tomorrow right now. However, I’m wondering if we might be prepared to win ugly and put any talk of relegation to bed. I’m reminded of last season’s Norwich fixture. It was a messy business but it did the job.
 




I think you answered your own question!

Brain can’t compute, you telling me football is about scoring goals and defending well, going to have to ponder this

That’ll be the Sheff Utd game surely, tomorrow is a free hit, great if we do something but they are a class team these days

The defending for the second Newcastle goal was some of the worst I have seen. To give him that much space and somehow still manage to get turned around? If one of ours had done that this place would be in a tailspin.

Hoof in to the box football from Burnley. They play to their strengths but when it doesn’t work there is no plan B. Lack that individual quality that can change a game. If I was Fulham, now I’d be targeting Burnley. Play them and Newcastle at home. Going to be an interesting run in.

Why are people getting upset by Newcastle winning at Burnley? A draw or a win for us tomorrow and we go above Burnley. Not worried by todays result at all.

This.

Really really pleased we have a chance of 15th place tomorrow. Something to play for now that relegation is all but impossible.

It’s modern football. Defenders can’t risk making a challenge as it is so easy to concede a penalty. Makes modern forwards look better than they are.

Absolutely no chance seeing something like this, from that game.

Seriously - Fulham can't 'target' anyone - all they can do is try and pick up points where they can and hope they get enough to go ahead of one of the teams in front of them. They don't care who gets relegated as long as it is not them.

Realistically there are three teams that they can catch - Newcastle, Brighton and Burnley - all they need is for any one of them to slip up and they don't care who.

Fulham must be absolutely deflated. Burnley can’t be feeling much better either, as they’ve been dragged into the mix. Now is the perfect time for the mighty Albion to beat Everton and quietly exit the “Relegation Show” stage right. UTA.

Newmarket.
everytime someone falls over and screams like a big girls blouse, it is automatically a free kick

It seems that way.
I don't understand how referees are now so inept and are happy to come across as complete mugs each game.
They must watch MOTD as we do and see how they're having the p1ss ripped off of them time and time again.
Have the referees no self respect? It can't be that they're all funking useless?

Mind you the players seem to have just as little self respect.
I don't care much about losses, draws, or not playing to their potential but I ****ing detest cheating whether our own players or others. I hate even more how it makes me feel about football.

Might have been posted before but this from the last couple of days.
The player's first instinct is to try and con the ref before realising how pointless that would be. Idiot!

Lingard really has been reinspired and reinvented at West Ham. That was an incredible finish. Looks like he might see another big tournament with England after all
