8/4: Ream (start) - Fulham v. Brentford, Championship Playoff Final

It wasn't entertaining until the goal. Before that . . . yuck.

 

"In the end Fulham would prevail with US Men’s National Team defender Tim Ream going the full 90 plus 30 minutes of extra-time. Ream led the team with 111 passes and chipped in with two interceptions, three clearances, and one block."

Mitrovic, who came on for the extra 30 minutes, explains his absence:

"Mitrovic added: 'To be honest, I didn't run for almost 13 days, no training at all, just gym.

'I tried to walk three times a day and double my therapy just to get fit to the best I could.

'I'm still not fit, I'm probably one week or 10 days from starting training normally. But this is unbelievable what we achieved today, I'm very happy for my team-mates, especially.

'We worked so hard, it's been a whole year since the season started in pre-season. It's been a really long year.'"

#17 for Brentford must be feeling like total shiiite for losing Bryan on that second goal today. He'll be seeing that Bryan on the back of his shirt going past him for the rest of his life. Poor kid.

Congrats to Ream for his part in this promotion. One hopes this time works out for him and Fulham in the Prem.

 

Fulham needs to get on with their transfer business. That team we saw yesterday is relegation fodder. Really need to reinforce . . . stat.

 

Better hustle up - the new Premier League seasons kicks off on September 12.
