I've literally watched nothing of Fulham this season, or much of any teams really, work has been so busy.

What do we make of Fulham, easy fodder or potential banana skin?

 

[Halmeister]

They're utter shite, but we will drop points.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says goalkeeper Alisson has returned to training and could feature against Fulham on Sunday, live on Sky Sports, but admits there are doubts over the fitness of Diogo Jota.

"Alisson will train today. If he trains and it is all fine then he can play," said Klopp, at his pre-match press conference.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is also in contention after returning to training but Klopp says he won't rush the England international back after a long-term knee injury.

"Oxlade is in normal training, (he has been) doing parts of training now for a week or so," said Klopp.
"He is now in full training and we will see. The situation probably demands to involve him as soon as possible, but I don't know if the weekend is that moment already.

Those first 3 games sound shit. Couldn’t give a ross what happens in them. I want a draw in the scum derby, loads of injuries and cards. A plane landing in the toilet would top it off. Same at racist bridge.

Wins for palace, Burnley and Brighton would be utopia.

 

[Bradley]

Fuck. Fantasy football team has been screwed by Friday night football.

 

[mark1975]

Hal, the fact you don't think they're better than us has pretty much confirmed we will drop points. You're getting shabby.

 

[MomoWASright]

Fuck. Fantasy football team has been screwed by Friday night football.

I went in just before deadline and thought fuck it and left my team alone.

 

[Dreambeliever]

We’ll beat Fulham easily they try to play football.

Hopefully Utd beat City who are finding form and only 3 pts back.

Could do with them losing another game this side of Xmas.

 

[MomoWASright]

You do know there is only a point between them? Both need to drop points.

Oh, I’ve just realised who the poster is.

The power of Sir Alex compels them.

 

[MomoWASright]

Leeds lost 2-1 despite taking the lead after 6 minutes. They’re shit. Like Swansea, Bournemouth and the likes. Pretty footy at times but absolutely toothless.

 

[Modo]

Are Sheffield going for the worst team in PL history record?
1 point in 11 games?

It's really weird how badly they have shit themselves. Last season they were flying.

 

[MomoWASright]

I hope they’re relegated

 

[Hansern]

I think the Sunderland and Derby teams of prior seasons in the PL will take some beating, but Sheff Utd have started insanely poor.
Wilder angered the football Gods by being a cunt, and now he's in a relegation fight.

Yeah, but he can sit smug knowing only 3 subs are allowed and Klopp is selfish

Oh, I’ve just realised who the poster is.

One has won 4 titles in the last 8 years and are our biggest threat. The other are a laughing stock.

This was like when muppets wanted Leicester to draw with City last year as they were second. Utd are zero threat this year.

 

[MomoWASright]

They are both showing near enough identical league form this year. We need them both to drop points. What city did 8 years ago has no bearing on today.

But you are a manc.

 

[Fabio]

Until United are out the race, I'm uncomfortable

Both can drop points. Both teams dropping 2 is infinitely better than 1 team losing 3

You are an idiot if you think City losing is not the optimal result here.

 

[Red Bird]

Both can drop points. Both teams dropping 2 is infinitely better than 1 team losing 3

Even when Man U is out of the race, I'd still want it to drop points. Same with City.

So both to drop points, please.

You should look in the mirror. You’ll see an idiot.

To be honest I agree with Dreamy. City are the main danger by far. They have a much stronger squad than any of the others and have Pep at the helm. We don't want them gaining in confidence and another defeat should rattle them. United are shite, they escaped vs West Ham where they should have lost and looked shite again vs. Leipzig. They'll lose a lot more than City.

So a United win benefits us. I feel dirty now.

That's where I'm at so wouldn't begrudge a nil nil with 3 red cards to each team.

I agree. Sadly I don’t see anything other than a City win this time. I also think Ole will be gone before the New Year.

 

[MomoWASright]

My order of outcomes

1. Draw. Both drop points. This is a crazy season and we need all potential rivals to drop as many points as possible as early as possible. They can also get as many injuries and cards as possible.
2. Man U win.
3. Man City win.

As shit as they’ve been they somehow keep on getting dodgy decisions which help them get points.
