abdulaziz1 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Stoke fans seem to think they'll pick Fulham apart on the counter and they generally seem quite up for it, especially with it being the last home game. What helps is that Fulham need to win, so they're on the back foot right from kick off. Cardiff, regardless of this weekend have Chelsea as their last game which is ideal for us. Plus if we pick up a point they're gone anyway. Hopefully United can do to Sunderland what they did to Norwich and rock their confidence. It really is down to the Fulham game for me - we need them to (ideally) lose but certainly drop points. yes I think its between us and Fulham for that other spot. Well , I would really like Sunderland to lose against Man Utd , Then they'll have West Brom who we could hope they could stop them too .. Which would leave their last game with Swansea .. We really need Stoke to up their game against Fulham anyway so we could breath easily .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PussEKatt Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 We got a draw Vs Southampton.I dont understand why Lambert did not just park the bus and go for a 0-0 draw against Swansea and do the same this week.We would have been safe for sure. I suppose that is asking a bit too much of Lambert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 A draw v Swansea wouldn't have meant we were safe for sure anyway, just like we won't be safe for sure with a draw v Hull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Thing is we don't even need to Fulham to lose, even 1 draw means they won catch us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Fulham - nailed down Cardiff - nailed down Norwich - the nails are in place and the hammer is on its downward arc. If Norwich miraculously find a bit of fight West Brom and could be in trouble, with Arsenal, in form Sunderland and Stoke to come. Hull probably not as comfy as they would like either, with United and Everton to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Cardiff were never below 16th I believe under Mackay. Having said that, he did spend quite a lot of money - £9m on Cornelius for example. Still, OGS was backed and he brought some players in during the January window. Really thought Zaha was going to do something for them, but I don't think he even made the starting XI half the time.

Rodders Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Cardiff would not have gone down with Malkay still there, I'm as certain of that hypothetical as you can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.I.C.O. Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I'd hate to be a Fulham fan right now. With their ageing squad and overpaid primadonnas they will really struggle in the championship. Will the owner back an attempt to go striaght back up? With all their huge wages and the lack of TV money they will be in a precarious position.

OGS made one good signing and that was Mads Daehlie. His signings of Eikrem and Berget was merely putting money into his friend, the agent Solbakken.

Daniel Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Apparently the Fulham fans were giving Bent abuse today. Chanting "you're not fit to wear the shirt" and "Darren Bent what a w**ker" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.I.C.O. Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 We'll have to give him away....last year of his contract on £80k a week and he did pisspoor at Fulham by all accounts. Did he even get 5 goals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I suppose being the last year of his contract he might put a shift in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Sad to see Fulham go, Cardiff I'm indifferent to, Norwich can go **** themselves. But we always beat Norwich. That's a guaranteed 4 points (at least) gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Talk in the Guardian that the three relegated clubs are thinking of taking action against the FA for not deducting Sunderland points from the games Ji played especially as Wimbledon have 3 taken off them in league 2 this week for fielding an ineligible player. I thought it was strange at the time how little fuss was made of that compared to Spygate (which quietly seems to have been dropped) although the reality is Sunderland were so bad during the games Ji played they would only lose 1 point so it won't change anything.

Davkaus Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) It's the Premier League they'd need to take legal action against, as it is the leagues who set the punishments for such violation of the rules, not the FA. And for that reason, citing Wimbledon's case as precedent is meaningless: it was a punishment given by the Football League, not the Premier League.
