is deuce going to get into the game this week? how many games has he been on the bench? 2 or 3? is this the 3rd? anyway, hope he gets in, and gets a chance to show his stuff
Hoping for a McBride goal after Spurs go up 3-0, with Dempsey getting on and showing well late. Games like this hurt as a Spurs fan.
I'm surprised he's one of the five on the bench, as the team news article on sportinglife.com said that he's short of match fitness, thereby implying he wouldn't otherwise be included. Good on him. Hope he gets in.
Alright... I got this up live on P2P... They're playing P.Diddy's (rather Zepplins) Come with Me' over the the PA... What a way to get the fans pumped. Commentator saying Fulham's not out of danger yet, and the reason they're so far up is because the teams below them are so bad, and because they have such a good "fighting spirit."
There's a couple English channels. Radzinski effort blocked, earns corner. The Cottage is singing it's llungs out... it sounds great.
Fulham dominating possession in the first few minutes of the game... Michael Brown just got a warning as he was getting chippy with Malbranque, who's getting booed anytime he has the ball, or is near a player with the ball. Bocanegra helps dispossess a counter, Fulham attacks, earns a FK. Michael Brown effort is deflected out for a corner. ...gets outside to Bocanegra, and his shot is blocked. I'm going to start slowing down now... I'm missing more of the game than I'm watching
10th minute... McBride gets a weak header on net, and hits the side netting off of a cross within about 40 secs of each other.
13th... Berbatov gets a lot of free room, has a chance to put it on goal after cutting in on Rosenior... but loses his touch and it's cleared. He mucked that up. Corner cleared.
