PATRIQT Fulham fans claiming 106 goals is a bigger achievement than 106 points :| Lost for words.


They`ve got exactly the same GD we had with a difficult game at Sheffield united to come so they`ve conceded 7 more goals then we did, btf three 7-0 wins in a season is some achievement.


It is but with the money they are able to spend, or delay spending in the case of the Wilson transfer, an argument could be made that they have underachieved - they should have pushed 100 points - some of their defeats have come against some of the dross of the division as well.

John Smith Well I never thought this would be the case but I am 100% rooting for Bournemouth tonight. Can't stand Forest: over-entitled supporters that everyone seems to agree "deserve" to be in the Prem.

They haven't been there since 1997 when Big Ron took them down!


I'll be rooting for Forest. Decent club, cracking ground, and decent support and wonderful history. I can't stand Bournemouth, and they still have an obsession with us from historical season's in the lower divisions together. They should have been punished for breaching FFP the previous time they were promoted to the PL but got away with it. The EFL should suspend punishments for when the club returns to the FL IMO. I'd love to see their spending catch up with them.

Yeah I haven't forgotten the Bournemouth supporters attitudes when they were first promoted to the Premier League. They some how managed to be more smug than the Brighton supporters were.

Interesting* to compare the goal scoring of the sides 05/06 v Fuham today.

We only scored 2 or more in a game on 30 occasions, Fulham 24.

We only failed to score in 3 games, losing none. Fulham in 4, losing 3.

So in terms of goal scoring, the key difference is we didn't just grind teams down - we only hit 5, 3 times and 4, 4 times. In most other cases, we won games by scoring 2 or 3. We only won 3 games 1-0.

Fulham have 3 wins scoring 7, 2 with 6, 2 with 5 and 4 with 4.

I think we just knew we weren’t going to lose games and did what we needed to do rather than going out to score hatfuls. Our team was built on the defence, Fulham’s is built on it’s attack.

MY APOLOGIES. My memory was we'd won 2-3, hanging on like grim death

Actually feel better now, as of these 7clubs we didn't
concede the most, and got most points of the champions

I think part of my life has gone missing. When the f*ck did Kieffer Moore sign for Bournmouth?
How much did he cost?
