So ... what does everybody think? Unless his red card is overturned, Bowyer will be suspended for this coming Saturday's match ... will that be enough to help Fulham get a win ... or draw even ... Hopefully Huges will be over whatever sickness he had this weekend and Baird can be put on the bench. I'm not going to let go of the optimism just yet (although it's tempting) ... I'll call a 1-0 win for Fulham at home.
Re: West Ham @ home ... I know we've been talking about "must wins" for weeks now, but it's 3 points this weekend or our goose is cooked.
Re: West Ham @ home ... If we can play West Ham with the same strategy we played Aston Villa we can beat them.
Re: West Ham @ home ... All depends on which Fulham team shows up. The team that played Villa played and played well for a solid 90 minutes. Hope its that same team that shows.
Re: West Ham @ home ... Well, it looks like his card has been overturned. Let's hope that's not all we needed.
Re: West Ham @ home ... didnt get to see the middlesborough game did dempsey get in at all. IF so how was he? There are 2 dempseys when he is determined he brings alot of heart and I think sets a real win or die mentality but when he is off he just looks like a little kid who's feelings are hurt and didn't want to come to the party!
Re: West Ham @ home ... He played. I didn't see the game either because I only get FSC. He came in for Kamara at the beginning of the second half. http://www.skysports.com/football/match_facts/0,19762,11065_2848548,00.html
Re: West Ham @ home ... West Ham is 9 spots higher in the table than us. West Ham has an impressive .500 on the road record, ours, of course is 0 wins. Reason be damned, we need this bad to get to 22 points and climb out of the tank... Fulham 2 WH 1.
Re: West Ham @ home ... Anybody can beat anybody on any given day. That is why I point out us beating Aston Villa and they are in 6th on the table. With a healthy McBride I believe Fulham should be all the way up past clubs like Wigan, Sunderland and Birmingham. Reading is the only other team in the bottom half that should be doing better than they are.
Re: West Ham @ home ... bowyer is a liability and won't be playing, noble was just being rested against birmingham and will be back for the fulham match up. you really need to win this one ,unfortunately we will play cole upfront on his own ,which although dull to watch is our most effective.as our defence is solid as a rock and five in the midfield stops you playing.thus with cole holding it up waiting for support or us hitting you on the break, it's not the team you want to play when you need the points. just out of curiousity , you seem to have a fair few american 'fans'. i presume this is down to in a small way fulham's american players.but will happen, and i hope you don't, if you get relegated? is there any coverage of the championship in america? it could be a bad situation. anyway good luck.
Re: West Ham @ home ... there is no coverage of the lower table in the states and it would really stink for us American fans.
Re: West Ham @ home ... Thanks. I cheered for WH last season and really liked Tevez. Maybe if Fulham goes down, all the american fans will become West Ham fans to cheer for Jonathan Spector. Also, what's this I've heard about Keira Knightley being a Hammers fan?!?!
Re: West Ham @ home ... they say Eddie Johnson could make his premier league debut what do you guys think
Re: West Ham @ home ... er... actually... it would be GREAT for me! Forest go up, Fulham come down, Derby comes down, Sheffield stays, Leicester stays and Birmingham come down - that's 5 games within 45 mins. I'd have a great year
Re: West Ham @ home ... that's a great relief to fulham fans all over the world. i know this is nothing to do with fulham v west ham but how can you get from nottingham to fulham in 45 minutes?
Re: West Ham @ home ... Why worry about United?! Its best to just write that game off, I will be at the pub to watch, but I will just leave ambarrassed like the last Fulham Arsenal game. COME ON YOU WHITES!!!!
Re: West Ham @ home ... So the lineups are in: Fulham: West Ham: Green Niemi Niell Konchesky Upson Hughes McCartney Stalteri Ferdinand Hangeland Mullins Andreason Ljungberg Bullard Noble Murphy Faubert Dempsey Boa Morte McBride Cole Kamara
Re: West Ham @ home ... Sorry, the lineups look messed up, here it is again. Fulham Niemi Konchesky Hughes Stalteri Hangeland Andreason Bullard Murphy Dempsey McBride Kamara West Ham Green Niell Upson McCartney Ferdinand Mullins Ljungberg Noble Faubert Boa Morte Cole
Re: West Ham @ home ... I will give $100 US to the person that can convince Hodgson to sit Murphy permanently.
Re: West Ham @ home ... At Halftime- Kamara is doing his impersonation of the Invisible Man Clint just hasn't gotten anything on any of his shots- Bullard looks awesome and McBride needs help, other than the ball brilliantly headed to his feet from Demps he has gotten no service. Back line has looked "okay" but had a few gaps that we didn't have to pay for. I am looking forward to this second half, this is a match we can get three points out of!
Re: West Ham @ home ... The past three games I have seen konchesky as a weakness. His set plays are good, but normal game play. Grrr! Alright Eddie is in!
