maddog Posted 23 August 2008 Posted 23 August 2008 I really enjoyed the last match at Fulham, it was a quality, entertaining match and we deserved a win. But what about this time, can we win it? I've got to be realistic and say this is just too tough a test for us, i can't see us getting anything out of the game, and i think it will be a loss They don't have awful Tony Warner in goal anymore, and have signed quality in Zamora and Johnson. And lets not forget Kamara. Even if they rest their top players, we will struggle big time. And with Niemi as their second choice keeper, even if they rest Schwarzer we are fooked, unline last time when they had shitty Warner, i find it incredible he continues to play in the Premiership season after season, despite being an awful keeper, he must hypnotize his managers to pick him or something, i believe he's 1st choice at Hull now Anyway back to the poll, this will be too tough for us, and i expect a defeat, so vote for lose

syston_fox Posted 23 August 2008 Posted 23 August 2008 This is very strange one to call really. They're two divisions above us, and are the home side..... but I don't feel like we're going into the game as underdogs!! Im expecting defeat though!
Uncle Albert Posted 23 August 2008 Posted 23 August 2008 Really, really want us to get a cup run going but I can just see a Johnson hat trick. Hopefully Roy will rest a few players now they have just overcome Arsenal, Zamora and Johnson hopefully. Oakley will have to have a good game against Danny Murphy aswell, as most of there play goes through him now. Simon Davies will have a mare and will be in Gilbert's pocket. Set peices is where we will be able to have a decent pop at them, with Morrison, Tunchev, Hobbs and Howard. (How different from when we went last year.) Pearson set's out with the right tactics and we can keep Johnson quiet then we could have a chance, 90% of people thought we couldnt beat Villa or dream of the scare we gave Chelsea last season so anything is possible.
maddog Posted 23 August 2008 Author Posted 23 August 2008 we can't draw as there is ET + pens if needed Just vote as if it's the end of 90 minutes score then technically the result is a draw if it ends 0-0 after 90 minutes. If the team wins in extra time, they haven't won the match, they win in extra time, or obviously win on penalties. I'm thinking about this way too much now Didn't Chelsea lose at home after extra time or penalties in the cup, but it wasn't classed as a 'loss' because they drew after 90 minutes so remain unbeaten at home for loadsssss of games.
Maybes Posted 23 August 2008 Posted 23 August 2008 I would love us to go there and 'do a job on them' but I really cant see us beating them. They are a much better outfit than last season in terms of solid squad players which I am sure some will feature against us.
Koke Posted 23 August 2008 Posted 23 August 2008 I was shitting myself prior to the Chelsea game last season, because they had just ripped Man City to shreds few days earlier beating them 6-0. But we game them more than a fight. I'm confident we can hold our own out there. But I'm expecting a defeat.
maddog Posted 23 August 2008 Author Posted 23 August 2008 Anyone going to the game? Not sure if i'm going yet
The Stig Posted 23 August 2008 Posted 23 August 2008 I have voted draw as I beleive it will be a draw after 90 minutes.
syston_fox Posted 23 August 2008 Posted 23 August 2008 Anyone going to the game?Not sure if i'm going yet Just for the record, are you keeping the results in your sig for the whole seasons games because I need to know whether to book some holiday from work for next april when I want to scroll down on a thread you've posted on?
Uncle Albert Posted 23 August 2008 Posted 23 August 2008 I have voted draw as I beleive it will be a draw after 90 minutes. And here was me thinking different.

dilko2008 Posted 23 August 2008 Posted 23 August 2008 can i just add this game must be finished on the night so isnt a draw out the question?

maddog Posted 24 August 2008 Author Posted 24 August 2008 Get those votes in people. Forget voting draw, although i know it's possible, some people aint getting that if the match id drawn after 90 minutes, the result is classed as a draw. (i.e. Chelsea lost after extra time or penalties in the cup once at home but the result was classed as a draw so they maintained their unbeaten home record) So just vote Win or Lose
maddog Posted 24 August 2008 Author Posted 24 August 2008 Errm, can't be a draw can it? I should have wrote 90 mintues result in the poll content or something
Brainy Posted 24 August 2008 Posted 24 August 2008 Please dont keep adding the results to your sig.. please
maddog Posted 25 August 2008 Author Posted 25 August 2008 Please dont keep adding the results to your sig.. please when it takes up too much space il just leave the win percentage
tbf Posted 26 August 2008 Posted 26 August 2008 We always win when i take a non-Leicester fan with me, so i'll have to go with win. (based on last season watford at home, barnsley away, forest away) edit: spelling
