stevegrant Posted 29 April, 2010 Posted 29 April, 2010 If they hold onto this, Woy is an absolute genius.
sambosa75 Posted 29 April, 2010 Posted 29 April, 2010 Absolutely incredible. I think they are officially every ones 2nd favourite team now. Fair play to Woy.
saintkiptanui Posted 29 April, 2010 Author Posted 29 April, 2010 I think they will and nice to see Fulham fans can make a bit of noise.
saintkiptanui Posted 29 April, 2010 Author Posted 29 April, 2010 Impressed by the german fans, they also look an average age of 12.
Andy_Porter Posted 29 April, 2010 Posted 29 April, 2010 Amazing run from Fulham. Don't know why I decided to watch the usual Liverpool European ****-fest.
saintkiptanui Posted 29 April, 2010 Author Posted 29 April, 2010 Got £20 on Liverpool/Fulham final at 3/1. Need the dull scousers to score again.
Johnny Shearer Posted 29 April, 2010 Posted 29 April, 2010 Chris Baird possibly playing in the Europa final. Good stuff.
Gorgiesaint Posted 29 April, 2010 Posted 29 April, 2010 Well done to Fulham, just shows what is possible from a well organised team. Thoroughly deserved.
Huntingdon Posted 29 April, 2010 Posted 29 April, 2010 I remember when WGS left, Roy Hodgson was linked to us I can't remember 1 single poster supporting his appointment
stevegrant Posted 29 April, 2010 Posted 29 April, 2010 I can't remember 1 single poster supporting his appointment I'm delighted to say that I was championing his cause at the time, tbf. Nobody looked beyond his time at Blackburn where things didn't go well, ignoring the fact that he'd done well at Inter Milan in the past - you don't get that job without being a pretty decent manager.
Thedelldays Posted 29 April, 2010 Posted 29 April, 2010 looks like it will be liverpool with them in the final...and sadly, they will probably lose
Johnny Shearer Posted 29 April, 2010 Posted 29 April, 2010 I remember when WGS left, Roy Hodgson was linked to us I can't remember 1 single poster supporting his appointment Not true I've always rated him alongside Gary Johnson!
Saint137 Posted 29 April, 2010 Posted 29 April, 2010 Brilliant - good mate of mine is a Fulham fan so I've seen them a few times down the years, even when they were back in the 3rd tier. It really is a fairytale for him, he's been to every round home and away, its cost him an absolute fortune, and he couldn't care less... And a team built without a shedload of money despite Al Fayed's riches, they've done it fair and square and beaten some European giants on the way.
SuperMikey Posted 29 April, 2010 Posted 29 April, 2010 Top marks to Fulham, they really deserve it. They've been an absolutely revelation in Europe this season, and Roy Hodgson definitely deserves the Manager of the Season award, although it'll inevitably go to whoever wins the title as it always does. Looking meaty between Liverpool and Madrid...
John Boy Saint Posted 29 April, 2010 Posted 29 April, 2010 Superb for Fulham and their fans, they live in the shadows of the Bigger boys in London and they get a day in the sunshine! Even Chris Baird!
Hatch Posted 30 April, 2010 Posted 30 April, 2010 Well Done Fulham, its good to see proper football fans get a bit of glory. Don't know why they are complaining about their 12,500 allocation for the final though, I'm sure that will be more than enough.

Don't know why they are complaining about their 12,500 allocation for the final though, I'm sure that will be more than enough. They average 24,000 this season, and given this sort of occasion is highly unlikely to happen ever again, I'm not surprised they're complaining. The ground holds 47,000 as an all-seater venue (increases to 57,000 for league games with the safe standing conversion), which means that nearly 50% of the tickets don't go to fans of the two clubs.
Scummer Posted 30 April, 2010 Posted 30 April, 2010 its good to see proper football fans get a bit of glory. I have mixed feelings on this. It's nice to see a smaller club do well, but Fulham have always struck me as one of the most 'false' clubs. They are the only club I've ever known who have a 'neutral' stand. It could be argued that they started the whole process of clubs being bankrolled to a position they don't deserve (since followed by Wigan, Portsmouth and others).
Hatch Posted 30 April, 2010 Posted 30 April, 2010 They average 24,000 this season, and given this sort of occasion is highly unlikely to happen ever again, I'm not surprised they're complaining. I was more so referring to their away support, which numbers about 48 plus the bus driver normally.
anothersaintinsouthsea Posted 30 April, 2010 Posted 30 April, 2010 Hamburg will be an amazing place to go and watch your team in a Euro final. I'm so jealous, but hope they win.

Don't know why they are complaining about their 12,500 allocation for the final though, I'm sure that will be more than enough. to be fair, we wanted more than 45k for wembley...then could barely muster 20k for the next game
Hatch Posted 30 April, 2010 Posted 30 April, 2010 Why are Fulham in the Europa cup, is it through the fair play thingy?
jawillwill Posted 30 April, 2010 Posted 30 April, 2010 I see Burnley are in line to potentially qualify for Europe through the fair play league should Fulham actually win the cup in a couple of weeks (Fulham will qualify for it if they don't win). I would have lol'd big time if Pompey were next in line and still couldn't play in Europe.

I would have lol'd big time if Pompey were next in line and still couldn't play in Europe. So Fulham are in Europe next year whatever happens , (unless they murder a referee or something)
jawillwill Posted 30 April, 2010 Posted 30 April, 2010 So Fulham are in Europe next year whatever happens , (unless they murder a referee or something) I don't think so, no. I never really understand how it works but was always under the impression that the leaders of the fair play leagues from each of the "big" countries in Europe go into some sort of draw to qualify for Europe. So I think it could effectively come down to luck if they qualify through the fair play league or not. I'm sure someone on here will correct me though.
IamLeGod Posted 30 April, 2010 Posted 30 April, 2010 Good on them to be honest. Woy has quietly and unspectacularly gone about doing a very good job at Fulham. Built a decent, well organised TEAM, should serve as an example to many other clubs (I think ourselves included) what decent management can achieve
Saint137 Posted 30 April, 2010 Posted 30 April, 2010 I feel dirty and ashamed for posting this, and never thought I'd say it, but "great article in the Daily Mail" http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1269921/MARTIN-SAMUEL-Once-time-fairytale-Cottage-.html This is what it means to all the little teams, and a cracking photo of Zoltan (who sounds like he should be in Battle of the Planets) to boot.

I would have lol'd big time if Pompey were next in line and still couldn't play in Europe. I would have equally lol'd big time if pompey won the fair play league with all the sh*t storm down the road
IamLeGod Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 i for one will be wishing them success tonight. What are other people's thoughts on this?
dubai_phil Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 i for one will be wishing them success tonight. What are other people's thoughts on this? Absolutely with you on that. We can't see it here as it is on a channel only available in pubs & we have a dinner party tonight :mad: But I'll be running upstairs to check. Stuff the cheats down the road, THIS is the Footballing fairy tale of the decade and let's hope they can keep it up for another 90 minutes
Hatch Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 Heart says Fulham, head say Atletico, Wallet agrees with head.
saint_bert Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 Is it beyond the realms of reality, that with the right sensible investment, set up and exicuting a fine managers plans to a t, that we could be where Fulham are in 8-10 years?
Red Alert Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 Happy enough for this one and only occasion to say a big COME ON FULHAM. Do "proper" football proud.
Ponty Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 I wonder why the Madrid players had to get their kids to make their shirt numbers.
RonManager Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 12000 tickets for fans and many empty corporate seats.
dubai_phil Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 Jeez do Fulham have both Paul Wotton and Carlton Palmer in midfield? Passing is awful
