The table would demonstrate otherwise sir.


The same would apply to Fulham i assume?

The only table that counts is the one at the end - let’s see! But of course your typical mag arrogance comes over even after another defeat.

I watch all Everton games and they were very poor against both Fulham and Newcastle. But innthe first half against Everton, Fulham really looked like a decent side and it gave me hope that something could be salvaged from this depressing season.

"Typical Mag arrogance"...……………. Bollocks!!!!

I can only assume this is the only post of mine you have bothered to read?

I am in no doubt as to our all too obvious failings. Why is it arrogant to suggest that Fulham are not a better side. They are 7 points behind us (yes they have played a game fewer) and have won only 3 games all season. They will put us under great pressure if they win their next 2 games. Nothing they have achieved thus far points to them being capable of doing so. They play Burnley who are also improving and had a great win, and performance, at the weekend. An improving Fulham away to an improving Burnley is a tough game. Then they have, i believe, Sheffield United. Another very tough game. I think 2 points will be a good return.

I agree that Fulham looked decent against Everton. That said so did we. Wilson could, and probably should, have scored 4. We kept Everton at arms length for most of the match.

They play some decent stuff and have done for some time now. You fail to give context with the '3 wins all season' comment you so clearly pin your hopes on; they've also drawn 9 games, the second highest in the league. You'd better hope they haven't found a goal scorer in Maja.....

Ok,delete arrogance and replace it with over-confidence!

As per my message to @Wolfbeard before the recent round of games:

"What if you don't get a point in the next three (Chelsea, Man Utd, Wolves) leaving you on 25?

Burnley get something from the next four games (Palace, Fulham, WBA, Spurs) putting them on say 28+.

Fulham then have Everton, Burnley, Sheff Utd and Palace. They would need 10 points from 12 to put them on 25....but say they got 9 one behind.....squeaky bum time with 12 games to play. "

Three games down and all to plan so far and based on the Shef Utd performance last night Fulham must fancy themselves there - one win against Burnley or Palace and we will be on course. Personally I think you will sneak a lucky win (or more likely under performing opposition like Everton) but it will be interesting to watch from the side lines especially if that gap narrows.

I agree it will be close. We are poor. I think 31 (with good GD) or 32 will suffice this season.

Fully realise they not lost as many as us. The thing is we will probably win (luckily or otherwise) a couple between now and the end, and probably draw one or two. That would give us around 32 points.

If Fulham maintain their superior GD they will need 14 points from 15 games. I just don't see them getting it. Time will tell of course.

Before the end of the season Newcastle have games against all 3 bottom sides, Burnley, Brighton and a whole bunch of sides who will be on the beach. 32 points is low, 38 I reckon.

Seriously don't see any of the bottom 4 getting 38 points. If we do I reckon we will be safe by a comfortable margin.

Burnley at home tonight and best price 19/10. Very attractive price. No way should Fulham be favourites.
