Tinpot. They have a house in the corner of the ground and old asbestos stylee curly, wavy coverings on the terraces. An old geezer with a dusty cheque book in the board room and everyone's favourite uncle as manager. Heck, I even adopted them at the start of the season on the back of the signings Uncle Roy made (and to humour a friend with a season ticket there). Tinpot. But they are going to a European final. For the first time in their history. You have to love it - it's not non-league, but in terms of what the so called big four have achieved in Europe this season, it's a massive achievement for a little club   |

Of course, they're pretty local to me and I know a number of people (all supporters of lower league clubs) who went tonight. If it wasn't for their owner (arse), I'd be extremely happy. As it is. Fulham are the pride of London and I'm happy.
Incidentally, I see a lot of Chelski shirts round this way. I wonder how many Fulham ones will miraculously appear now?
Cynic, moi?

I was getting into that this evening - well done Fulham!!!
"Little" Fulham into a final and Liverpool knocked out of Europe TWICE!
I *****ing love it. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
I assume Liverpool will now get yet another chance to win something by entering a competiton 3 parts of the way through?

Rumour has it that Rafa had applied to join the BSN next season as it's a league he can win - then someone pointed out that Wales is next door and their champions get to play in the Ch League qualifiers. His eyes lit up! ;D

I assume Liverpool will now get yet another chance to win something by entering a competiton 3 parts of the way through? That defeat qualifies them for a tie against Manchester United in the third round of the European Non-Winners Non-Cup Cup, a home tie against Lokomotive Leipzig in the European Cup For Teams Beginning With The Letter "L", the third leg of the three-legged race and a disability pension...er..cup. It's been a tremendous achievement for Fulham considering they played their first game back in July 09, but i won't be backing them in the final. Atletico Madrid are a fully-paid up member of that cursed, jinxed band of clubs in the Sultan International Wing ( i have the 1997 Spanish League / Cup "double" shirt and scarf, the shirt we wore as second division champs and the Centenary shirt.) Seeing how Liverpool have been signing our best players (Torres, Maxi) it was a delicious irony to put them out last night! ;D |

I'd have preferred it if Five had shown some of the Fulham games rather than the Scouse failures over and over. For a change, I got home early enough to watch last nights game and promptly fell asleep. Woke up bang on 90 minutes and decided to shut my eyes while the commercials were on... Opened them just in time to see some mug with a hair band trying not to look too smug in the post-match interview!  Anyway, what is this competition, in old money? The Cup Winners Cup or the Inter Titsout? |

It's whatever the Cup Winners-UEFA Cup (second class with room for failures from the top table) morphed into.
Think the Inter Titsout went titsup as no burger could be bothered to enter it, what with there being 26,000 rounds and the requirement to start in the July of the season before you actually qualified for it - though THIS version of whatever it is seems to take as long to resolve as the Titsup ever did. And Fulham started their campaign in July.
Being stuck away on ITV4 is all part of being Tinpot ;D

The UEFA Cup and Intertitsup were replaced at the beginning of this season by the Europa League, which is basically THE UEFA Cup with extra qualifying rounds to make up for the Intertoto, which was a sort of qualifying competition for mediocre teams from the big nations, such as Aston Villa and Esbjerg fB.

I am quite surprised that no one has mentioned that Sir Roy used to play for the mighty Carshalton Athletic in what was then Div 2 of the Isthmian. He learnt it all there you know.

He used what he learnt at Carshalton to revolutionise Swedish football  |
