It must be so dull to be a Fulham fan. No-one particularly loves you, nobody really hates you. They’ve even got a fucking neutral stand! There’s a new owner down at the Cottage this season but that doesn’t seem to have prompted an influx of exciting signings queuing up past the Michael Jackson statue. Dimitar Berbatov aside (he signed a year ago and he’s no spring chicken either) it’s solid veterans all the way.
They’re probably too good to go down, but don’t expect the top half to be troubled either.
