Evenly matched clubs on paper. Would love to add another away win to the list, but Fulham has only lost twice at home (to Chelsea & Wigan).

A tie would be nice, as well. Nice, even 20. Last year, I kept thinking we can't win every game, it's got to break at some point. It really didn't (until it didn't matter much). I think 1-1 is realisitic here.

Yea, a tie would be a good result in this one. Pretty evenly matched teams, and its away.
Its on Fox Soccer Channel, for all of you in the US.

I was talking to one of my football buds who is a Man City fan and he laughed when I told him this week that I would be happy with 1 pt against Fulham (at Fulham). Although Man City drilled Fulham last weekend, Fulham is a solid team that could give us fits in the midefield with their experience and size.
Hopefully the game will be on FSC this weekend.

I'd guess at least McBride will play. I'm looking forward to seeing Sonko and McBride go up against each other.

Heh, heh. I love the ref, thus far. doyle draws the penalty, and goes for his 7th goal, scores, 0-1.

It was a legitimate Red Card...Harper threaded the needle and hit Doyle in stride as he beat two defenders. Pearce went for the legs and got the Red Card. 10 Men the rest of the way for Fulham.
BTW: We're looking pretty good today and have created three good scoring opportunities in the first 16 minutes.

Was he forced to take the red? I mean, was someone going to score if he didn't commit the foul? Or was he just stupid?
