    Fulham is garbage.

    I need to question my brain for having a POS like Gonzalo on my team.

    Arbeloa is probably not the coach versus Coventry.

    1. el polako
      1 day, 6 hours ago

      I went from 2 Fulham on my last week WC to 1 to none.

      Thank God wasn’t blinded by the fixtures.

    Cherki can unlock IPS.

    Foden needs to playing a club like Hull, Spurs, or Queens Park Rangers

    He is like my boss at work, a negative element.

    It's incredible to listen to these commentators. You have a team that has been found guilty at an absolutely unprecedented amount of cheating, that has built its teams and success precisely on that foundation of cheating, and they are simply worshipping them as they play.

      They get paid to say those things 😆
