Re: Three years ago today

Reading was a tense game , all that cheering at the end and adulation of one NW, what was that all about ?

Probably getting us promoted despite no one giving us a chance in hell

Re: Three years ago today

What I particularly liked about that day is that Fulham and their arrogant fans were convinced that that was the day that they would overtake us in the table and our automatic promotion effort would be over. This performance and result basically shoved two fingers up to them and showed them that we weren't going to give it up. It basically demoralised them for the final game weekend, when they could only draw at lowly Birmingham.

Is your comment really typical of most Fulham fans though? I used to post on one of their fans' websites and, like most fans of most clubs, they were very reasonable. Similarly, I don't identify with some fans of other clubs thinking that all Cardiff fans are roughnecks. I am of the mind that the majority of fans everywhere are just regular people.

One of the greatest away days. Up there with Leicester away in the play offs.

Re: Three years ago today

on the other hand, the lowest Fulham have been since then is 4th on 81 points or something like that, and will probably be challenging for promotion again next season.
Does anyone think that we will be?
I'm no Fulham bummer, but it just goes to show how badly we wasted the opportunity

They have only played one other Championship season since then, so that doesn't mean too much. Their ‘effort’ to stay in the Premier League hasn't gone that well this season either.

Most clubs fans are reasonable but at that time a large number of their posters dismissed us as no hopers from the start of the season and were convinced that we would fall away and that they would overtake us, right up to the last game. This was a trait shared quite closely with Aston Villa fans at the time.
