Thanks China and PV, managed to get on to it, boring 90 minutes but final 15 minutes of extra time made up for it. Wouldn't expect either side to survive in the premiership on tonight's performance, but stranger things have happened ........

Thought Fulham played some good link up and possession stuff at times. Not saying they'll rip up trees but I've seen worse teams in the Prem. One of them finished 3rd bottom

https://twitter.com/JohnnyWalker059/status/1290753912673316864?s=19VAR will be licking its lips next season. Mitrovic is a nutter. Incidentally that was before the Bryan free kick that went in was taken. Not only did Fulham still get the free kick they sent themselves on the way to the Premier League by scoring it!

Not a problem, I watched about an hour of it and thought Fulham looked the most likely to score and created far better chances than Brentford. Personally I don't see much special in Brentfords football at all, too many short pointless passes and nothing much in the danger areas at all, their defence and goalkeeper all looked pretty shakey too. Not a great game but a million miles from the dross served up in the L1 play off, poles apart in class and quality all over the pitch.

Not only VAR licking its lips - for purely partisan reasons I'm praying Ollie Watkins is moved on quickly for a bumper fee as a result of a Leeds v Palace bidding war.
Rumoured 20% sell on should help see us through the CV19 aftermath to fight another day !

Similar to us with Bogle at Derby who is said to be the target of a £10m+ tranfer bid with us (or whoever has ownership Club/Power/Standing/Barry/Clem) getting 20%. Must admit I wasn't very impressed with Watkins on that showing in the play offs but he has to be judged on a whole season and has had a cracking season on paper although I have only seen him in the play offs so am in no position to judge. Hopefully he will get the move and you guys get some much needed financial help, 20% of the figure touted as £30m would be a huge windfall for you guys.

This left me confused. Was trying to work out why we'd get a sell on for Ollie Watkins...then it clicked

Yep..ah well, any 'bidding war' should prove lucrative for Watkins (and agent) instead. Still, shan't be sniffing at a circa £3.25 million cut, should he go. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53662774
