    Re: FA Draw @ Kettering 1/24

    And we've won our last three games against Premiership opposition, two of them very comfortably.

    Hogdson's a good manager, so I can see how the game will go already. You'll stick nine men behind the ball, because that's what you have to do to beat us, we'll have all the ball, but won't be able to break you down (to be fair your defensive record away from home is excellent).

    I'm not saying we'll beat you, because you're a good side, but you won't find it easy, and you really shouldn't underestimate us (which I'm sure you won't).

    Does Fulham underestimate anyone?

    Like I said, I really rate Roy Hodgson, so I'm sure he'll have done his homework on us before the game. Unlike that muppet Adams.

    Looking forward to it anyway, not often we get this far in the FA Cup (just the second time in my lifetime), and it's a reasonable chance of progression for us.

    I did say...

    We should have won today, but that's why you're the Premier League side and we're not. Looking forward to the replay, you seem to be a much tougher prospect at home but our away form is pretty decent as well.

    Well, best of luck... I won't be pulling for you, but I hope you enjoy a good Fulham win :)

    Either way, one of us will be stuck with Man U in the next round.

    3rd times the charm against ManU? Let's hope so.

    I'm loving this little cup run they've got going now...

    Re: FA Draw @ Kettering 1/24

    Congrats on the win - definitely deserved on the second half performance. Might have been different if we'd had Pratley, Monk or Bodde playing but we didn't, and you should have won by more than the one goal in the second half.

    Still, I'd have taken three points on Saturday before a win tonight, so best of luck in the next round.

    Yes! On to the 6th round!

    Dempsey! Zamora! Davies!

    Great ending to the game. Man, I was going to be frustrated losing at home to Swansea. Instead, we move into the final 8 and get a home game against the best team in the world, Manchester United.

    I am excited.

    I really dont know what to say. This the worst Ive ever seen Brede play. And Zoltan Gera might just be the worst player in the EPL.

    Ugh.

    I mean, a loss is a loss, but still...

    Brutal.

    Back to back losses at the Cottage is a concern.

    I hope it isnt. Im still not sure why Nevland doesnt get a run when Bobby Z and AJ stink it up.
