I thought Fulham did come to play football, for about 7 minutes, during which time we looked fantastic and you could envision a belting match we'd feel unfortunate to only win 5-2.
It is credit to them they saw this too and in the blink of an eye flipped to contain, frustrate, shithouse, and time waste, being the only way they would take something from the match.
Yes they were aided by soft/pathetic/incompetent refereeing.
There's still a few bright sides. We created plenty of chances and now we're not occupying a spot reserved for ESL twats suspicious decisions against us may diminish.
