    Youngest team in the league beats the oldest one, fun derby. Nice to be getting some players back from injury rather than losing them.
    Fulham do so well with their 300 mill squad v the big boys like Chelsea with a Billion.

        Billion dollar babies, crazy how young theyve made us in 12 months.

        Im not much a fan of Poch atm(dont want him sacked but i doubt he'll go past his 2 year contract), his team selection and in game management is horrid. But its hard to judge him with the amount of injuries we've copped this season(2nd to none) and inexperience of the squad hes molding. Trying to be patient

              Hopefully things can change.

              Was disappointing not to have played better against Spurs as I believe he was at Old Trafford watching. Must win now our next game against Wolves away.

                Jimmy Hill often appears in Viz comic too. If you find him and send a post card saying which strip he was in you don't win a prize

                        Been rumours of Steve Cooper coming in for a while. See if that comes to fruition.
