Not correct, no Hayles! Thank God.

 

Boa Morte wins a pk as Kiely takes him down, Malbranque puts it away.

1-0, Fulham.

 

Boca starting to get some touches, 25 min. into the match Fullham sound steady.

 

YEAH!!!.....YEAH!!!
Nice halftime music.
Wonder if Gentleman Jack is getting down.

After song there was a lot of applause...was there a halftime show?????

 

2-0, sub Davis scores for the Cottagers.

 

Praise from Jim on Boca's defensive work. Sounds like Steed could use a break. Petta doesn't seem up to Premiership standard - maybe Bonnissel there when he returns from injury next year? Another good performance from Volz - wish we (Arsenal) hadn't let him go ... 2:0 to Fulham, goal by Sean Davis - Good for you, Whites.

Yeah, who was that at halftime - not bad stylings, but over the PA, low bandwith connection - not exactly ear candy.

 

I'm on call at the hospital listening to it on the web, all the nurses were jamming to the HT music. Nice to watch!

McBride comes in!

 

No, kidding! Me, too, sitting in the call room. Loving the web, but wish they'd fix the high-speed connection.

 

FT, 2-0 to Fulham.

 

Sounded like McBride had a nice header that went just past the post. Gentleman Jim called him a "handful for defenses" I believe. He also gave up some good words on Bocanegra. Sounds like he played very solidly on the left.

 

Code 100, 214 MacNider, stat!
