Fulham a crazy price, 5/1 on BF, put an insurance bet on to sweeten the ruined afternoon if they come up trumps
It's really in our hands, this one, as IF we play to the best of our ability (and assume that Fulham do, too), we should have enough in the tank to beat them.
If, however, we have one of our not-so-good games, then I can see us being lucky to scrape a point. As for this 'bogey team' thing - I don't subscribe to it and I'm sure the players don't, either....at least, I would hope not.
Play well and 2 - 1 win for us.

Of course we could lose, but if we (hypothetically) 'take a draw' in games like this, given that we're strong favourites, we definitely wouldn't qualify for Europe. ie, to qualify, we need to be winning games like this.
That is bonkers. And over 3/1 the draw, with us 4/7 on.

Although Fulham are a bit of a bogey team, the good news we havenāt lost in 9 to a newly promoted team, with a clean sheet in the last 7.
Hopefully bookies know something. Strange considering how well Fulham are playing

Not really. We are level with 2 games in hand, we are much stronger in depth. We are scoring for fun and unbeaten in 7. The bookies have this right IMO.

Such an important game - for both teams. Alyson Rudd picks up the significance in The Times.

Stop with all this negativity!! Have a thought for an Albion fan who runs a Fulham pub in the heart of Fulham!
Only more recently though ? My recollections of Championship games are us almost always winning, particularly at their place

Well, I think you're both right (and wrong), he was speaking about both games. Then again, I might be wrong.
If you take out the (today) it's obvious it still means the same thing. When he says 'some part of the game, he obviously means this game today: "I would like to put him on the pitch, maybe not in the first XI but I want to let him play some part of the game."

It wouldnāt surprise me if we had a little more leniency from VAR and the officials today to āmake-upā for last weeks howler
Flicks through "Football cliches for beginners" : If we get behind the team from the first whistle and if we can score an early goal 
No joking with the early goal , we will need to come out the blocks quick smart , because this lot will try and do an us on us - so for me early Seagull gets the 3 points

Amazing value on the draw or Fulham win. Not sure I could bring myself to back either.
