He's been pretty phenomenal the last two years. If we go up he's the kind of signing we should be making.

I'm getting pretty good at predicting bad results for Newcastle, I will try and keep it up.

True. For a spell in the 2nd half the Fulham team were looking at each other wondering WTF was happening, I think I saw one of them counting our team to check.
Some on their forum - link in other thread - suggested we're the only team to make them lose their shit at home. None of their players seemed to know how to cope when we threw the kitchen sink(s) at them (Dunk and Duffy).
Bodes really well for any future tight spots.
By the by how did the Murray/Hemed combo work?
Good quote from one of the Fulham fan's threads
What i came away with yesterday were a couple of things...well maybe three things.
1- I was proved right about Smith. Apart from a couple of headers in first 5 minutes he offers very little. hes a lump who yes kept the CBs busy but his fitness is woeful (and he trains every day) and had to come off as he was looking every inch the man running in quicksand. But he does not hold the ball up, first touch of a wall.
2 - Houghton is an excellent Championship manager. Was always my other choice after Symons when Mad Magath was sacked.But I remeber many saying hes no good in the PL. Well worry about that when there. He knew exactly what our main weakness is. And thats a long ball down the middle of our CB's ....and thats any combination of the four we have. Its been our problem all season.
3 - Game management. Houghton won that hands down. as soon as they were losing he threw caustion to the wind and that ten minute spell where they had 3 or 4 right up top on our defence was too much for our fragile minds. We just could not handle it. And then as soon as they are in the lead he changes it again. SJ needs to improve his reaction to whats going on in a game.

Murray/Hemed looked ok but I reckon they need to work together more to really become a major problem for defences. Agree with you that Duffy and Dunk really put the wind up them!
