Eastie Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Hopefully the pressure of a big Wembley occasion will affect Fulham - only 2 weeks ago they blew a golden chance to go up by being turned over by blues so the pressure can affect them - they haven’t been to Wembley for 43 years whereas many of our players have experienced Wembley finals . No doubt we will need to be at our best - bring it on ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daweii Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) @Eastie That could well come into play. I mean thanks to the FA Cup semi-final also taking place at Wembley this will be our third visit there in three years. Then factoring in this will be the third time for Grealish and second time for Hutton in three years. I can't imagine how many times Terry has been to Wembley as a player, but I am sure it's like home to him at this point. I'm not saying it'll make a huge difference, but having players that will go to Wembley and see it as just another game may help ease the pressure a bit.

Cited that when we beat them at VP this season they had no seesegnon and cairney played 10 mins coming back from injury..oh and mitrovic is gonna have terry in his pocket too. That is strange, as the BBC report on the match suggests that R Sessegnon played in that match, unless the BBC were mistaken and it was his brother Steven playing? I went to that game and can't really remember to be honest. I just remember them being lucky to only lose 2-1, as Kodjia was rugby tackled in the penalty box in front of the Holte.

Vive_La_Villa Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I’m happy for Fulham to be seen as the favourites. Get better odds on Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just face it, Sessegnon didn't play against us earlier in the season and Steve Bruce has still never beaten Tony Pulis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of this will Fulham even fill their allocation? Villa fans could make the atmosphere very one sided which could help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham have also never won at Wembley even in the days that they had the likes of Bobby Robson, Johnny Haynes, George Cohen, Bobby Moore, George Best and Rodney Marsh playing for them.

alreadyexists Posted May 16, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted May 16, 2018 I’m happy for Fulham to be favourites too, Wolves were favourites when we beat them, Bristol City we’re favourites when we beat them, Cardiff were favourites when we beat them... I think we do well as underdogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Does anyone know the prize money you get for winning the Championship, finishing 2nd and winning the play offs. Just wondering how much you get for getting into PL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 its 50-50 as i see it. Villa are not 5-2 which bookies are offering. Over the 2 semi games villa were very organised and everyone was up for it (the best ive saw all season on both accounts). To allow a team 2 shots on target over the two games is no mean feat in itself. I think we could be peaking at just the right time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We took somewhere between 40k and 45k for the JPT final in 2015, Fulham should manage their allocation for the Championship playoff final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The Duck Of Death Posted May 16, 2018 Visiting Supporter Popular Post Share Posted May 16, 2018 I was a bit worried that the admin on here might be a bit too restrictive, but I'm pleased that doesn't seem to be the case, so thank you for the welcome. I'm a Fulham fan, and I have been all my life, I'm knocking on a bit now, and so I can remember watching the likes of George Cohen and Johnny Haynes playing for Fulham back in the 60's. Very pleased we beat Derby, because we owed them from 1983 when their fans invaded the pitch when we needed one goal for promotion and the game didn't even last 90 minutes. Who knows what will happen in next weeks game? obviously I'm hoping Fulham can win it, but as has already been pointed out, we never win anything, and we have a bad habit of messing things up in finals, or just with seconds to go, so it could easily go either way. Am I confident? no I'm not, but I have seen Fulham play fantastically well this season, so if they do that next Saturday, you guys will have to perform very well. Looking forward to it, as I'm sure you all are, but dreading it going tits up. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
