Fulham will be happy that they don't have to play in Manchester
again for a while after losing 2-0 to City in the league and then being beaten 4-1 by Utd in the FA Cup.

West Ham were humiliated 5-1 away at Arsenal in their last game.
It had been 1-1 at the break but a dramatic collapse allowed the Gooners to score 4 times in 10 minutes.

I'm still waiting for some sort of apology from Allardyce or our captain Nolan
for that shameful display but there has been nothing but silence from Upton Park which has angered me even further.

I still want that big oaf to be fired as he doesn't seem to know what he is doing with his formations/line ups or tactics.

Can our owners please hire a manager who knows what he is doing? Surely that can't be too hard?

Any comments or predictions?

well i could not find an apology from Big Sam ...but he did comment after the game ..."It was 10 minutes of genius , that 10 minutes blew us away."

So ...it wasnt really his fault .

Oh yes it was!

He is our manager and must take responsibility for what happens on the pitch.

Maybe he has sent one of those emails to Steely explaining why we just collapsed in such a shameful manner?

I have just seen on Yahoo sports that they are running a competition to win a training session with Sam Allardyce!!!

Did you know that Fulham have won just two of their previous 17 Premier League matches against West Ham (W2 D5 L10)

Any more comments or predictions?

West Ham's likely line up

.........................Jaaskelainen.............................

Demel......Reid.......................Tomkins............O'Brien

......................Noble........Diame...............................

J.Cole.....................Nolan................................Vaz Te

...............................C.Cole....................................


This could be Diame's last game for the Hammers with Arsenal and Spurs both happy to pay £3.5m to activate his release clause.

My prediction - Fulham 0-1 West Ham (C.Cole)

A nice and easy 2-1 win for West Ham here.

This is my bet of the day - WEST HAM TO WIN at 30/13.

Going for Marouane CHAMAKH to score anytime.

Line ups

FULHAM:
Schwarzer; Riether, Hangeland, Senderos, Riise; Duff, Karagounis, Sidwell, Rodallega; Ruiz, Berbatov...

SUBS: Etheridge, Baird, Petric, Frimpong, Hughes, Dejagah, Davies

WEST HAM:
Jaaskelainen; Demel, Reid, Tomkins, O'Brien; Diame, Noble, Nolan; Jarvis, Chamakh, J Cole...

SUBS Henderson, Carroll, C Cole, Vaz Te, Taylor, Pogatetz, O'Neil.

Come on you Irons!

He'll come good with some games under his belt. They hope.

HT

Fulham 1-0 West Ham

Berbatov 10'

FT

Fulham 3-1 West Ham
1-0 Berbatov 10'
1-1 Nolan 48’
2-1 Rodallega 49'
3-1 O'Brien 90’ (o.g.)

Any comments on tonights result?

Berbatov was in an offside position when he headed in Fulham's opening goal
although he was outstanding on the night and certainly celebrated his birthday in style.

West Ham's defending for the 2nd was just a joke and Rodallega out jumped 3 players to head the ball in!

The home side were also lucky to get their 3rd with O'Brien scoring an own goal from a cross into the box.

This was another woeful display from the Hammers and we have now let in 8 goals in our last 2 games.

If its true that we are in for Blackburn's Paul Robinson then get a move on as our keeper isn't good enough at this level.

Our football is a joke at the moment and we seem to have gone backwards in recent weeks to long ball where before we mixed it up.

I still think Allardyce should be sacked and a new manager brought in who can actually motivate our useless players to do the basics.

Allardyce out!
