We cant really afford less than a win so we might aswell go for broke. A draw/loss would end our season, think that applies for all of our remaining games really. There's only the tiny minuscule glimmer of 6th place, but it is still there.
French centre-back currently without club, will consider any role. Experienced plumber.

With just six points seperating us from five teams below us ( a win for Fulham would make that six) not sure how a draw/loss would end our season. Seventh or eigth at season end would be a good result, but we ain't there yet.

Eh? You'll have to explain that one. 6th place gets you nowt other than a bit more money currently.

We've no real chance of Europe I don't think anyone is seriously thinking we have. Season is about finishing as high as possible.

Point tonight would be very decent.

Each place is worth an extra £850,000 - so it's a helluvanincentive

Indeed, but I think if we finish 8th we'll be much better off than we would have imagined at the start and hopefully OC will get that extra money to spend.

Realistically I don't think we can finish above Liverpool!

They're dangerous at home and put teams under quite a lot of pressure.. Dempsey is a master at being difficult to pick up, so it may need a man-marking job on him. It may be negative, but I think it's essential. In the Cup he ran the show, but luckily for us his team-mates were never on the same wave-length.

We treat them like playingUnited or we'll get nothing. They're at home (not our favourite venue for wins) and have some very decent players. Goals are all that really matter, that and a chance for three precious points.

I'd take anything at Fulham that involved a positive result to be honest.

I don't really understand how the end of this season could be insignificant though. Its the best finish in a few seasons, and potentially could be one of the best we've had in the prem.

I can see Fulham scoring so we need a couple at least, like most have said it all depends which Bolton turns up.


I'll go with 2 -2 Cahill and Elmo for us .. Johnson and Dempsey for them.

They have got good options up front... Dempsey, AJ, Zamora, Dembele... that old blond fella....

Couple of facts: all seven teams above us are mathematically safe from relegation, so hopefully we're next... and we've been in the top half since October...

I did BBC predictor thingy, with us losing every game, just before the Arsenal game. 43 points had us one point from safety....

If we're going to go in for pointless predictions let's go the whole hog !!

How many corners ?
What time the first throw-in ?
How long until the 12th throw in ?
How far will the fourth one be thrown ?
How many players will have their shirts tucked in at kick-off ?
How many pints of lager will be sold in the ground before kick off to Bolton fans, at the Bolton end.
What will be the first name of the kid on the 12th seat in from the right of the 8th row behind the goal Bolton are defending in the 2nd half ?
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.
