i guess the only drawback is that you have to wait for a managerial crisis or a bad run at the next team which could be pretty hard, but i might as well give it a go, seeing as im dead last with my accrington game |

About to start my 4th season with fulham :( lol 1st 2 seasons i finished 17th albeit comfortably so never really in danger of being relegated. 3rd season just done and finished 11th, needed to win my last 4 games and hope the 3 teams above me didnt win theirs or drew. my run was wigan which i won 2-0, then chelsea which i won 2-1, then arsenal which i lost 5-2 which effectivly ended my hope of finishing 8th :'( ImageShack - Hosting :: fulhamtop8db3.jpg woot, gonna play this season out for euro cup, then wait on ipswich to get promoted back to championship!

Can I say that Bobby Robson was only at Fulham for approximatly 3/4 months, I am half way through his auto-biography at the moment and he stated that if he knew his time at Fulham was going to be so short then he would never have agreed to go there so personally that part of the challenge should be optional | | | | | | | 19-03-08, 04:10 PM | #18 (permalink) | | Important First Team Player Join Date: Aug 2006 Posts: 738 Thanks: 29 Thanked 95 Times in 71 Posts Nominated 10 Times in 1 Post TOTW/F/M Award(s): 1 |

Bobby Robson is a legend especially with the Toon...however I'm not, and having lost my first 3 games at fulham I get the feeling this career may be short lived!!!! Lmao |
