El_Hierro Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 We usually do quite well when I'm not expecting a result, which I don't, so I think we'll surprise a few and win. However as that means we might get a result we'll probably lose. 1-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johneeboy Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 With everything going on in London, is there a chance this will get called off? There's a chance I'd say, its spreading and still kicking off I was thinking this myself. Games are planned at Spurs, QPR and a couple of others in London. Fulham itself will be fine but the police needed at the event may be needed elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaRoy Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Fourth_Official Fourth Official Police have ordered ALL football matches in London to be called off.

Hodson12 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 As far as I know, it's just the Carling Cup midweek games for the time being; hopefully it'll all be sorted by the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaRoy Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I wouldn't be surprised if its called off, with how stretched the police currently are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nepal_villan Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Season is a marathon. 2 years back we lost to Wigan at home. Last year we destroyed West Ham. Look how the two seasons finished. Optimistic for a 2-0 victory. Bent + Collins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Opening day defeat for us this. They are a bit ahead of us in terms of pre season and match fitness. That's one of the most optimistic pre-match predicitions I have seen from you. You expect a loss, but that is par for the courseThen perhaps you do not read as many of my posts as you or I think you do. Par for the course, except where I predict a win of course.

Alec Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Henry Winter has just tweeted that he expects ALL London PL games to be postponed this weekend; henrywinter I can't see London #PL games going ahead this weekend. Police will still be stretched. Football rightly not high on Met's list of priorities Without overestimating the comparatively trivial matter of football, it's a real shame that such thuggery and lawlessness can disrupt so many things.

VillaRoy Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 The Premier League and Football League are saddened by the recent incidents of civil unrest and the effect it is having on local communities. We are in on-going discussions with our London-based clubs, the relevant police forces and statutory authorities, in regard to the staging of the coming weekend's fixtures in the capital. The Metropolitan Police has conveyed to us the dynamic nature of the current situation and with that in mind all parties will review the situation on Thursday and make a further public statement. With the information currently available there is no reason to think any matches outside of London will be affected. We are conscious of the need to keep fans informed of any developments and will, of course, keep them as up-to-date as possible through club, league and media channels. Further details from the official site. I'll be well pissed off if these thugs ruin Saturday, already planned to meet up with a few mates down there and go to the game.
