The Informant And the sitters we missed.

Struggling to think of more than one good chance they had


Suspect Ali would be happy to talk you through a few.....

As pointed out, we were missing Obita (massively important in the context of the game, MOM first leg), McShane (Captain and most experienced defender), Kelly (potentially our best midfielder) for all but 15 mins, and McCleary (arguably our best player) for all but 25 mins, and still beat them

So to be honest, they can pi$$ right back off with their superiority complex, one trick pony football, and their army of pundit sympathisers. Hopefully they will lose their best players (though Cairney and co clearly aren't as good as they think they are) and become the mid table non-entity they have been for the last few years

Watching back this morning, that worldie save from Habsi over the bar was a great chance. He could of put that in anywhere and also Martin header at the end, didn't realise what a great opportunity that was but he put it well wide :lol:

Winston Biscuit Fulham had 23 (TWENTY THREE) shots off target over the 2 legs :shock: :shock: :shock:

When your finishing is as comical & woeful as that you absolutely don't deserve to go up


I think a fair few of those shots were frustrated pot-shots at goal when they couldn't break through the defensive line. So I think we deserve some credit for that.

Thought Aluko was poor last night. Very selfish.

They kept on banging on about us only having 1 shot on target in the first leg. They only had 2, the shot all Habsi saved and the rebound from that shot that Cairney scored from

Was It Aluko who was constantly trying to hurry us up ended up doing the opposite,
Best one was towards the end, our goal kick, Gunts had the ball and was walking it back to Ali. Aluko tried to grab the ball and it became a little skirmish resulting in him knocking the ball out of Gunts hand and it going all the way over to the corner. He then had to run after it, take it off the ball boy and throw it to Ali.
There was another one where it was our throw, ball was rolling down the hoardings and a ball boy was about to,pick it up when Aluko ran towards it, ball boy stepped away and Aluko had to run 20 yards and then be out of position.
Leave it alone mate, let the ref add on time, there is no obligation for us to rush and all you were doing was getting wound up and wasting time !

A little bit of payback for 2008 in my view.

Yeah, Fulham were the better team with better footballers and all that ... BUT there's a streak in the English game about making the most of your resources to win a match against the odds. Which Jaap did. Which Nottm Forest did in the European Cup in 1980 and nobody outside Hamburg complains about that now.

URZ!

Hound point is Jaap out tactic'd their boss in both legs. The reason they were nowhere near what they have been in the last 2 months is we had a plan, which worked. Twice. And their boss had no idea how to counter it.

My favourite thing about Aluko was whenever he miscontrolled or shanked it out, he looked at his teammates in digust :lol:

Was odd that. He only did one positive ting all game if memory serves. Mostly just shanked crosses and skied shots.

I can't be arsed reading through all the posts sorry..

Glad somebody raised it about the sympathising commentators. Unbelievable bias towards the small town in Chelsea.

As for sidwell :evil:

Discussing the penalty decision he states 'it was a handball yes but it's a bit soft'
oxf*rd off sidwell. Handball = penalty you prick.

Absolutely delighted we beat this entitled bunch.
Commentator even compared them to Barcelona at one point. WTF. Yes they had the lions share of possession second half and Ali pulled off a couple of beauties but you were outfoxed outfought and ultimately beaten.
We're going to Wembley you're not :lol:

I see no discernible difference between him and Gunter. Really don't think it's an upgrade at all if we did.

Obita had him in his pocket and also exploited his defensive weakness in the first game. Good player but not really an upgrade
