Nobody can deny that Fulham are a fine side but interestingly, if they lose their last game away to Sheffield United (a possibility) they will only have accrued the same number of points (90) as we did when we finished runners up to Wolves.

Yeah, they've dropped off a lot since the league's been pretty much wrapped up - well until the Luton game anyway
They’ve not been under pressure, just been coasting. I’m sure they would have smashed th 100 point barrier if they needed to. Their goal difference is insane.
Yep, in our promotion season we'd scored 69 and conceded 39Quote:

Fulham are one of the best sides ever at this level. Reading and Newcastle still the top 2 though.
Stands to confirm how good a season we did actually have - also by the same merit I think we could have pushed for the win in that final game if we absolutely had to.Quote:

This season, Fulham have won 7-0 three times, 6-2 twice, 5-1 twice, 4-0, 4-1 three times and 3-0 four times.
Their top scorer is Aleksandar Mitrovic, who has 43 goals so far.
City's achievement in gaining promotion in 2017 was incredible under the circumstances, but Fulham have just been on a different level altogether this season in what is admittedly a very poor Championship.
Oddly enough, Marco Silva's side started the 2021/22 campaign with a 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage. Harry Wilson scored their goal. Fulham's opponents that day were Neil Warnock's Middlesbrough!
Mitrovic has 7 times as many goals as our top scorer. 7.
Very much so. Fulham have lost nine this season. We lost our opening game in 2005/06 then just once more in the entire season.Quote:

They don't get given the chance! I'm pretty sure they will this time, though.Quote:

I don't see any Fulham "love-in" going on, just an acknowledgement that they have a good team. In fact my original post states that regardless how good Fulham are, our team (Cardiff City by the way) accrued 90 points while finishing runners up a few years back. I for one am quietly optimistic for next season and I know I'm not alone on that score.Quote:

Let's see where Fulham are in a year's time - in the last three of their seasons in the Premier League, it's either been relegated already or on the brink of being relegated.
As things stand, the top two in last season's Championship are going to be relegated with a lot fewer points that we managed in both of our Premier League seasons and, although I think Fulham were a better side last time they were in the Premier League than they were in 18/19 with us, I still reckon there's a good chance that they and Bournemouth will come straight back down - as the only two sides in the Championship who spent at pre Covid levels, they were always best placed to go up automatically.
If the owners recognised that all the clubs you mentioned are better run, better managed and have better players than we do, this board and the club would a lot better place. And the fans would be "behind the team". This might come as news to you, but not everyone likes failure.Quote:
