2 wins in 19 now for unstoppable Fulham!

He's played over 150 games for us and at 26 should at the peak of his career but is instead getting worse. Probably had about 20 good games since he's joined. I know he's a confidence player but his complete inability to take anyone on when he's in this sort of form really limits us. No doubt he'll be along at the end of the season to do an interview saying how tough it's been like he did before. Truth is, his current form is the normal and any purple patch was a blip.

Believe it or not, they've actually got as many injuries as us. No excuses if we don't win, even if KWP and Diallo aren't back. Assuming they are: -------------------------Forster---------------------- --KWP--------Bednarek---------Vest------Bertrand-- --Armstrong----Diallo----------JWP-------Tella----- -----------------Ings----------Adams--------------

Forster KWP-Salisu-JV-Bertrand Redmond-JWP-Romeu-Djenepo Ings-Adams Severely lacking in midfield options so guess it'll have to be that (but Minamino/Armstrong wide when back available). Djenepo likes to get stuck in so task him with being first line of defence in dealing with Traore. Need a goal from at least one of the front two to end their baron runs. Wolves been blunt in attack for a while now but can't see us keeping a clean sheet. 1-1 and we go through on pens AET.

Mason was born in Portsmouth.

Not sure if this is even the right thread and it's from TalkSh_te so to be taken with a pinch of salt, but Matterface the skate indicating that there are three potential buyers interested now that the DaGrosa exclusivity period is over. "One has been trying to get in for months but up until now was prohibited."

Lee Mason, born in Portsmouth, refereeing the game. Shouldn't be anywhere near the Premier League let alone our matches given his constant mistakes.

Given how they've performed in the EFL Trophy in the last couple of years against League One/Two sides, I'd say 'it's reality' is pushing it somewhat.

Deserved his MBE for those two goals at Spurs alone. Great player and clearly an even better guy from that thread of tributes Sky put together. Be interesting to see what he does when he hangs up his boots - suspect Gerrard may want him as part of the Rangers set-up but would love to see him stay in the south and work in some kind of role at Saints.

Hopefully they wait until Liverpool are one win away from the title and then cancel the season. Unlikely, but would be bloody hilarious.

I don't think the players seem to take the no handshake rule very seriously. Before the game they seem to but after the final whistle on Saturday they were shaking hands, hugging each other, swapping shirts like no tomorrow.

Why's everyone worried about Carroll? Unsurprisingly, he's out injured for at least another two weeks.

To be fair, we'd probably get more atmosphere from the half dozen ball boys behind the goal than we normally do from the Chapel.

Good Saints performances but lots of chances missed. I think we all know which way this is going...

------------------McCarthy------------------- -JWP-----Stephens------Yoshi----Bertrand- -Armstrong---PEH---Romeu------Djenepo- --------------Ings----Adams--------------- If they go full strength I think they'll have too much for us as it's their biggest chance of success. 2-1 Spurs, sadly.

McCarthy - Competent Gunn - Sh*te Cedric - Sh*te Valery - Sh*te this season but don't want to dismiss him yet as he's still young. Will be 1st choice RB when we go down Yoshida - Sh*te Vestergaard - Sh*te Stephens - Sh*te Bednarek - A little bit less sh*te than the others but still sh*te Danso - N/A, hasn't played in his actual position yet to be able to judge Bertrand - Competent Romeu - Competent Hojbjerg - Competent JWP - Competent Armstrong - Sh*te Djenepo - Good Boufal - Good Redmond - Good Ings - Good Adams - Not good enough for the Prem so sh*te I guess Long - Sh*te Obafemi - Sh*te

Yeah, you don't get it. Plus, he's literally said he's going full strength. We went strong in the last round v Fulham which is a clear indication we're going to take the cup games seriously so why we would suddenly make loads of changes for the first game against our biggest rivals for 7 years?

Get Boufal/Djenepo on Diego Rico. Guy is a liability and about their 4th choice left-back. Expect a high scoring affair again as I can't see us keeping Wilson and Fraser quiet but we should have enough to damage their backline with all the injuries they have. Just hoping for no new injuries and a positive performance to take into the big one next Tuesday.

He's saving his first goal for those dirty skate b@stards. Oh how sweet it will be....

Track the man with the ball. LW v RB - so James was his man. If someone else makes a decoy run, then that's whoever should be tracking back's responsibility. I'm not taking away anything from the finish, but Cedric has to get much tighter and let the manager blast whoever should have been picking up the decoy (Mata?).

Not sure how to PM but I am interested.

Reading 4th? I don't like them being from round those parts but above Spurs and the bin dippers?!

Is Bertrand back fit?

Difference being that we took just under 3,000 their last time. Can't see it being that many again (nearer 2,000 I suspect being midweek).
