Predictors don't even see Fulham overhauling our current total of 32 points

I agree. I think there's a better chance than not, we have enough already.

Don't want to test that theory mind

The Bellingham decision in the Champions league shows how much VAR is needed.

Can you explain exactly how VAR corrected that injustice?

It didn't, as the referee was so inept he blew too quickly, stopping VAR from getting involved.

We always lose to Everton though, and usually save our very worst performances for them for some reason. And then we have Chelsea who we’ve never beaten. That’s why I’d like to see Fulham lose a couple more before I relax.

We do at Goodson Park. I’d be more confident of getting something at Old Trafford. Guarantee some Richarlison magic even when he’s next to useless.

I’ll always remember the last minute own goal winner when we beat Everton 3-2.

Lovely bit of Potter ball too. Shame it wasn’t Murray who finished it off.

These last two results may really have dented Fulham’s confidence. A last 10 minute capitulation against Villa and a sickening last minute winner by Wolves. They’ve only got 6 games last to overturn a 6 point deficit. Seems a big ask.

If the players really were in tears at the final whistle, as I read somewhere, then they’re starting to act like it’s psychologically over, never mind anything practical.

And pulling a team back from that is going to be very very hard. Once the determination, belief and fighting spirit starts to ebb away, it only gets harder.

And there is a VAR problem

Why play an offside call until the ball goes out of play then raise the flag..

Complete bullshit if the player is clearly offside raise the bloody flag.

Think we should just concentrate on our own results, although Fulham are giving us a helping hand.

 

[giveusfalmerplease]

I'm confident enough to suggest were safe this year with 3 more points and can start thinking about which three teams will be crapper than us next season

I always recall Richarlison playing a blinder against us at the Amex. Seems to me he does it everytime, or is it a recurring nightmare?

it does seem that however crap a team or a player is, coming to the Amex seems to be the catalyst for said team or player to suddenly produce a performance way above their usual .

Don't worry just added him to my fantasy football team

It got involved with our match v Man U though - well after the whistle for FULL TIME was blown.....

I do agree with that, but our officials are so poor, that we have to now assume they will get the decision wrong. Look at the offside against Millwall, was clearly onside, yet the goal was wrongly ruled out for offside, sending us to penalties and almost getting knocked out.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

One more win alone would be enough. Fulham would need 10 points from their final 6 games (as well as Newcastle getting 7), and that’s very unlikely to happen.

It has been known though. I'm not making any predictions until the fat lady starts to sing. Cautious Colin is my name.

Although my name isn't actually Colin.

 

[Skaville]

Gonna be tough. Everton are the 4th best away team in the league and average over 2 points a game away this season.

Definitely, but we don’t always lose to them.

Who is going to be the first player to receive a career ending injury because of this absolutely stupid rule

Its called football, it wasn't broken, errors happen, they still do under VAR in fact there are more injustices due to frame rate issues and opinions of rubbish refs who now sit in a box 100's of miles away rather than on the pitch. Its no longer for the fans who attend games, its for the FIFA generation sitting at home

Yep, was one of my all time fave Albion moments at the Amex, Everton up until then had proved unbeatable. You can be sure that Murray would have finished it off if the Everton defender hadn't been so determined to get his own name on the scoresheet!

Is the wrong answer, ditch VAR is the right answer, yet another game destroying decision last night

Ditch VAR not the right answer. 'Teams like Brighton' need VAR to protect them from big club bias, but even that purpose is failing as we saw at Old Trafford. Use VAR properly is the right answer. How anybody could think they had come to the correct decision in disallowing Wolves first goal is beyond me.
