Maybe it's my poor grasp of geography, but I always struggle to view Fulham as a London team, so never view their games v 'proper' London teams as a "London derby". Which is weird given their proximity to Chelsea. It might also have something to do with Fulham being much smaller, in terms of recent football history, than Chelsea so it doesn't feel competitive enough to be a proper derby.

They even try to claim Watford as a London team nowadays. :shrug:

I’m not sure why you wouldn’t think Fulham are, though. They’re far more London than the likes of Brentford and Palace.

I don't know. But I know I don't think of Brentford or Palace as London teams. To be honest, I always think of Brentford as a Northern team, I think that's because I constantly confuse them with Bradford.

All kicking off at the Emirates 1-2 Spurs, there will not be 22 players on the pitch at the end of this game

Spurs equaliser, big touchline ruck after Dier gives it the biggun in front the home fans, Spurs pen, Spurs now 2-1 up. Proper derby game, brilliant!

Why does Poch stick with Foyth yes he is young and learning but he makes too many mistakes and is responsible for Arsenal taking control by losing the ball on the half way line.


Just played Vertonghen into trouble and a 2nd yellow.with a poor pass.

Alderweirald’s out injured and Poch thinks Foyth is amazing.

Anyway, not too bad a weekend for you, at least your other team won at Hudd.
