Villa v Fulham

Not sure the powers that be want Fulham relegated ! Penalty rescinded and a gift goal ???

Penalty rightly rescinded. Mings gifted the goal not the powers that be.

Bloody hell I’ll be glad when this season’s over. My nerves just won’t take it

It's surely a wake up call for our forthcoming game against Newcastle. Lose that and we are dragged completely back into a relegation situation. Not that we have ever really been away from it.

Next week was big anyway, now it's flipping massive, and if Fulham see this out suddenly Brighton are back in the mix again.

We only have ourselves to blame for being in this pickle, a win today and we'd have been on easy street, now it's suddenly got a damned sight harder than it could have been.

Agree, two defeats and we're in the ****

That certainly helps our cause, don't mind Fulham getting a point as long as they don't get all 3.

Tre-ze-guet

YESSSSS !!!

Edit. And take the lead with their third.

If Fulham lose I suspect they won't recover.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun Apr 04, 2021 6:14 pm

Trezeguet should be awarded the freedom of Burnley after that couple of minutes. Talk about an impact sub.

Top Claret · Post by **Top Claret** » Sun Apr 04, 2021 6:15 pm

If Fulham get nothing from this game they won't and don't deserve to stay up.

Villa were there for the taking and Fulham have never look good enough to capitalise

Fulham were relegated about six weeks ago.

No a defeat here will make their task difficult, and bear in mind they only have 7 matches remaining after today, and all the other teams around them have 8, or in Brighton's case 9, so they really do need to put points on the board ASAP.

Excellent, a better end to a poor day.

15 minutes ago I was fed up

Who knew quick goals involving Villa would have such an impact on our season...........

Im ashamed to say it but the way things have gone today that fulham loss has felt as good as a burnley win

Will keep the Sky Sports presenters quiet who would want us down and their favourites Fulham and Brighton to stay up.

Do you really think today's result had such an effect? We've still more points at this stage than all but two of our previous Premier League seasons.

Elizabeth · Post by **Elizabeth** » Sun Apr 04, 2021 6:33 pm

Villa were only poor up to Smith taking off their 2 ineffective central midfielders . Then it was a different team who pressed Fulham more effectively and started playing good football.
Fulham are a poor side

ClaretMat · Post by **ClaretMat** » Sun Apr 04, 2021 6:34 pm

If we were to mess it up, even before this weekend we deserve to be relegated to be honest. To throw away 7 points at this stage would be very poor indeed.

Previous seasons don’t matter.

Had Fulham held onto that lead then he’s absolutely right that survival could have been in question.

And to be fair, a Fulham win would have made things difficult for us and next week’s bigger than it now is
