FULHAM THREAD

We were shite.

But fair play to Fulham. They came to play football. And play they did. Could easily have beat us.

Not a case of two points dropped. A case of one point gained!

Is this really happening? I keep thinking that i'm going to wake up and this will of been just a nightmare. How did this happen? how could we got from being 4 pts away from winning the prem to being what could soon be 8 points from getting champions league football?

It's been a long, long time since I've been this embarrassed of my team. Thanks a lot, Mr. Wenger.

I said last week that, as it looks odds on now that we wont play champs league next season, I really hope we dont qualify for europe at all

There is an air of complacancy at the whole club who just want to make excuses and live in their own fcuking bubble and they need a major fcuking wake up call to get us out of this slump. Fizsman maintains that we will be ok financially if we dont make champs league but I wonder how we will be financially if we dont qualify for europe at all ?

That's what pissed me off the most, too. None of our players were closing down. We were the home fucking side and didn't even have a fucking shot in the last ten minutes. In fact, most of that time was spent camped in our own half.

This is what we all thought would happen for about four years. None of us should be surprised. We've been extremely lucky that other teams around us have managed to be even worse than us. Unfortunately, this season, other teams around us have managed to put a run of good form together, and as such, we've just fallen away completely.

AW can whinge about injuries all he likes, but the bottom line is that he's in charge of putting the squad together.

God, I'm so fucking angry.

Captain Fabregas, at least your little goalkeeper never fails to make me smile when it seems like the whole world is about to end!!

will have to win the cl to qualify now not a hope of us finishing 4th and everton only 2 pts behind and what kills me is that the players we slate every match song eboue and bendtner didn't even start the game this is your team mr wenger you have alot to answer for and if he mentions spirit and belief in his post match interview im going to throw something quite hard at the tv.

Problem is Augie, I reckon that a lot of our squad are fucking defeatists. Just look at the way Fulham stroked the ball around in our half for about fifteen minutes at the end of the game, completely unchallenged. There's no fucking fight in our team what so ever. We've been considered a soft touch for many years now, but I don't think that's our problem. I think that, when the shit hits the fan, our team hasn't got the fucking bottle to make something happen. Therefore, although I take your point that no European football would be a wake up call, I doubt very much that the large majority of our squad would care.

The solution? Fuck 'em off to other clubs and rebuild. The problem? Wenger wants to keep this squad together. So what can you do?

Tony, wenger built this squad and has shown faith and loyalty to these players when the world and its mother could see they werent good enough so in my opinion the problem with wenger wanting to keep the squad together can be easily solved.......fcuk wenger out the door first

I wont go so far as to call the man a bastard (as goonersid has done) but quite simply his management this season particularly and for a lot of last season too has been appaling and would have seen other managers sacked. Lets also be honest about our players too - we all accept that cesc will not stay to play in a 3rd grade europa cup comp so he is probably packing his bags as we speak so apart from him is there anybody else that we really desperately want or need to keep ? Sadly I dont think there is and that indeed tells its own story

I thought we were playing with 10 men the whole time because Denilson was fucking invisible the whole game... and not in a quietly going about his job well kind of invisible. More like the shittiest player on the pitch type.

I mean we had absolutley no one in front of the back 4. Diaby isnt supposed to be playing that role but I think he made 3x as many tackles as Denilson did.

Sad when you best players are Eboue and Toure.

Whats the current Premiership record for consecutive 0-0 results. Okay it's not quite as good as winning a trophy or qualifying for anything half decent and bores the fuck out of the fans but think of the spirit and character it would show if we could beat it

harryo45 · Post by **harryo45** » Sat Feb 28, 2009 6:04 pm

we are a poor side. thats the bottem line.. a complete clearout is needed starting with the strikers adebarndoor and big time charlie van percie. these 2 are are like the disapearing men.. ade badplayer disapeared january last year when the going got tough and guess wat . van percies disapeared this year. dont start blamin the midfield because i have watched this dick miss 1 on 1s with the keeper week after week. but no one is allowed to critizise saint percie . maybe its time wenger went too as these dicks cant be bothered turnig up to play for him.

I never thought i would see the day when a Fulham team takes the piss out of us on our home pitch.For the last 15mins they were passing the ball around like the Brazil 1970 team we just didnt have a clue how to get the ball off them.It was fucking embarassing

Forget 4th place that is just a joke
