Referee: Lee Mason (Lancs).
Good afternoon Geordies and welcome to our regular “match banter” feature for today’s away visit to Craven Cottage, the home of “Cottagers” of Fulham.
As usual, if you’re looking for a detailed look forward to the game, I would suggest checking out UTD111’s excellent preview with team news, quotes and stats with all the usual gossip and speculation in the run up to the game, which hopefully will make up for my rather brief banter post this time.
As well as seeing the game, the faithful who will be making the trip down to London today will also be able to visit the wonderful monument to the “King of Pop” at Craven Cottage, which is in my honest opinion is worth the trip alone.
I shall be putting up the official teamsheets for the game below when they are available.
Historical fact of the day: It was Bobby Robson who discovered a young Malcolm MacDonald during his ill fated first mangement spell at Fulham. He bought the then full back from Tonbridge Angels for £1000, then told him to get up the front and bang some in!
Howay the Lads!
