John Madejski's Wallet Well that was breathless.

Most worked their asses off. Tough and disciplined. Swift came in and out at times, and Grabban can frankly f*ck off. But that was a VERY tense an enjoyable evening :D

Fair play to Jaap
you saw a different Grabban to me mate...Worked his bollox off, chasing back like madman in the last twenty.

Echoeing the plaudits dished out already, I would just like add Joey to that list...strong and workmanlike.

They all appear to be peaking at the right time.

Didn't think anyone had a bad game.

+1 to both comments.

Not been a big fan of Grabban but he put a shift in tonight and Joey was out on his feet by the end. I thought the sub to bring G Mac on was for JVDB but another tactical master stroke by JS proved me wrong.

Big +1 for JVDB. Considering how long he's been out that was an immensely disciplined performace

On the Grabban thing, it was his continual wasting of breaks by not looking up or just having no first touch. But as you say, towards the end defensively he put in a decent shift with the others

Had Grabbans decision making been better we could have been out of sight in the second half. But who oxf*rd cares.

Don't think I've ever heard the whole stadium singing the same song, sounded superb from the upper west..

Expect some very bitter FFC fans in the aftermath :lol:

you missed his frustrations following the clear breakthroughs that had made from the midfield......only to have the ballholder either fluff his lines of fanny around and get dispocessed, obviously.

Fingers crossed he finishes the season on 20+ goals :D

Grabban did well tonight. He was isolated a lot of the time and had little support around him. He did his job very well considering.

ayjaydee From where we have been for the last two seasons that was nothing short of amazing.
Someone on BBRC made a comment that it's nights like these that will make his kids fans for life.


Yeah I took the jnr leons because they absolutely demanded to go and even though we live in London (2 miles from FuLOLham :lol: 8) ) and it's a school night they're both season ticket holders. They went absolutely mental. They'll remember that for ever.

Incidentally.. Looked a definite handball to me, but there is no way either the ref or lino could see, pretty sure 10k odd people going up in unison has influenced him.

I'm certainly not saying this to incense any visiting Fulham fans btw

Looked a clear handball when I just saw the replay on SSN. Think it hit his hand/arm twice actually.

Yes! After all the talk about odds, tactics, injuries, suspensions, etc. We have overcome Fulham - Still cannot believe we hung on for so long, major credit to Ali. I'm still in awe. What a game, what a season. Jaap Stam; I love you. Also shout out to Seahawk, heard you on BBCRB; hope you can make it over!

MOTM goes to JVDB for me, so calm and disciplined which is remarkable considering his fitness.

URZZZZZZZZ!

I had a horrible feeling the game was going to turn on its head after that. Luckily, it didn't. I expect he's feeling a bit relieved :lol:

Felt a little 'Archie's penalty' that..
Collective "here we go again" groan went round the stadium.

After the event that makes it just that bit more special. Going through the torment of 5 mins extra time will live long in the memory.
