Can we now quit the Fulham love fest?
I predicted several days ago we would be promoted at Hull.That's positivity!
Absolutely. Been avoiding the message boards because the Fulham love-in is just sickening.Quote:

I agree. This obsession with how well they've done and how they play attractive football. They're a club based in poshest west London and are our rivals for promotion. I couldn't give a monkey's chuff about them.
It's not always the best looking girl that makes the best wife, or the brainiest kid in school that gets the best job. Let's just focus on what we have to do, bollocks to the rest. I hope we win 1-0 tomorrow with an own goal off their keeper's arse. It will send social media into meltdown, especially that tool from Bristol.
It’s not a love fest. It’s an appreciation of a really decent team at this level. I hope we piss on their parade, but there’s no doubting their 2nd half performance was top notch considering it was a potential banana skin.Quote:

I'd suggest it's most peoples' prerogatives on here. This is a Cardiff City forum, not a love-in for rival teams who play nice football.
It’s not a love in. Despite being 2nd best in the 1st half tonight they were excellent in the 2nd half. Why can’t we say that?
And realistically based on the past 5 months they are going to finish on 91 points. We need 3 wins to stop them.
Fulham went up a gear in the second half, and they really do look Premier League class. I'd go a step further and say they are better suited for promotion compared to us. We'd need to have a major overhaul of our playing staff to have any chance of staying up.
Based on the whole season, which is what promotion is gained from, they will get 89 points not 91. We therefore need two wins and a draw.Quote:

They may well need us to be patient as well, let's not let any nerves transfer into the pitch.
Instead just enjoy the ride. 👍
Chances are they would lose their 2 best players on the pitch last night, one of which isn’t there’s anyway.....Quote:

Giving credit to Fulham? Nah. If Sunderland are still in the division by next Friday evening, they'll be fighting and scrapping. They beat Fulham earlier in the season. Birmingham might need a win to stay in the division. Anyone thinking Fulham are invincible and will just canter through their last two games needs their heads examined. Plenty of twists and turns to come. There inevitably is.
Why do people get so defensive about people discussing Fulham? They’re our rivals to second place obviously they are going to be talked about and scrutinised on here.
Are we not allowed to talk about anything other than cardiff winning?
Nothing wrong with sharing objective opinions, it starts to go a bit wonky when emotions rule the brain. And unless you are on the pitch, what you think or say won't make a blind bit of difference to the outcome.Quote:

That doesn’t mean I’m all of a sudden anti Cardiff.
Eric rolls out stat after stat about other teams including Fulham, but it seems the rest of us have to happy clap the Bluebirds over the line.
I've just calculated that we need an extra 1,500 blades of grass per square meter in order to increase the elevation of Hoilett's crosses by 0.275%, which will compensate for Zohore's new haircut and give us the extra 2 goals we require to ensure that we gain promotion.Quote:

It's as if some fans are expecting us to implode. Bar results last December, we've shown absolutely no sign of this happening in 2018. The two games we've lost recently we can definitely consider ourselves unlucky, in a similar way that Fulham can consider themselves fortunate not to have been a couple of goals down at half time last night.
I get annoyed when some think that Fulham are the 2nd best team in the division. We've shown over the season that we thoroughly deserve where we are on merit. I then get even more pissed off when Fulham get a result and there are our own supporters saying "I told you so", as if they want that to happen.
So you don't think Fulham were easy on the eye during the second half against Millwall?Quote:

Sorry Eric. Your talking complete bollox if you think any of us want Fulham to win just to prove a point. I’ve never really mentioned them up till last night. If you go over my recent posts I’ve been as confident as anyone and as positive as anyone, but a blind man could see hiow impressive Fulham were last night. Like a good boxer, they sized up there opponents then clinically killed them of.Quote:

Sorry about that.
Who cares whether they were easy on the eye or not? There are plenty of times we're not easy to watch but we've been more effective as a team over the course of the season than they have. I don't care for passing stats, possession figures etc. Leicester won the Premier League with among the worst possession stats that season. If being easy on the eye was the only criteria, Fulham would have gone up long before Wolves.Quote:

Again, it'll be interesting to see how they deal with two sides that might need wins to stay in the division. Even if they win both of them, I still fancy us to get 3 wins out of 4. Our home form has been fantastic. Surely if people think Fulham are going to stroll to victory in their last two, then they logically have to say the same about our home games. That means getting one away win out of 2. Job done. Let Fulham slip up in the playoffs.
I've seen posters going on the offensive to back up their opinions on Fulham. Well, one in particular.Quote:
