    Without some serious squad strengthening Fulham are in for another relegation fight next season, the last thing they'll need is a UEFA cup distraction

    Sanchez has been spouting crap like this all week, using blatantly false statistics to back up his argument.

    Depends how much City fell, but I believe Fulham have qualified for the UEFA cup. The above link is for the fair play table.
    The top 4 are in the champions league, Tottenham won the Carling Cup, Everton qualified today... so that leaves Fulham and City.

    City took a red to Dunne and a yellow to Sun Ji Hai-

    Here is the fair play table as of last week.

    He contributed little, to nothing. Was there something in his contract about that???
    What a game.

    Holy mother of god.

    It looked like Fulham were dead and buried a long while ago. They hadn't won on the road in........forever........and then they won 3 road games down the stretch to save themselves. Incredible.

    What Hodgson did down the stretch was simple. he stuck with his best 11 and threw them out there every week. No tinkering like Sanchez did, especially at the back. I'm really happy for Keller too. People always talk about what a class act McBride is, and Keller is the same.

    According to the table I posted from the EPL website, a red card is worth 3 points and a yellow one. Thankfully its an EPL site so everything is pretty damn Byzantine.

    Good Job Fulham and I wonder what the offseason will be like for this team.
    Who will come in? Who will leave this team? Do not forget this survival will give them a big pay day for staying up. Hopefully Roy does the opposite of Sanchez bring in top players not CCC players who barely made a difference.

    Keller and McBride interviewed back to back, class acts as always. McBride makes me proud to hail from our nation.

    Yes. McBride also holds it down by referring to the game as "soccer". HA!

    But the most class was Hodgson. Anyone could have grabbed the spotlight, instead in his interview he expressed his regret for birmingham and reading, saying he felt for them. Class act.

    With the yellow and red card and getting beaten 8-1 today and probably not gaining any positive play points...

    FULHAM IS IN EUROPEAN COMPETITION NEXT YEAR... err i mean, in 2 months.

    WHO THE HELL ARE THESE GUYS???? survival by the skin of their teeth and European football... just insane!!!

    But wouldn't England need to win the UEFA draw for the Fair Play spot first?

    the fa has already won it.

    the only question is how are the respect and fair play points allocated.

    if anyone can find, it, post the defs here and i will do the math for you.

    Man City are top on fair play points then Everton. Not sure who's third or where Fulham come.

    If only we actually knew how all those other categories were determined...

    Could be very interesting.

    yeah, one thing is clear, reds and yellows dont mean too much, if you look at aggregate reds and yellows, fulham is near the bottom of the table (my first post on the subject)
