"PIE EYED AND LEGLESS!”
Wot can we say aboot this performance against Fulim at Craven Cottage yesterday afternooon?
We were ‘pie eyed’ at the Cottage for certain! (Cottage Pies 🥧 get it?) And finally wor poor form came back to haunt us with wor forst predictable result of the season!
Like as say—-In wor previous 5 games we havvint played well at aall, but have managed 4 wins and a draw somehow!
It woz obvious from the start that Fulim would gan for the jugular—and they did, leadin 2-0 at the break with NUFC havin a Joelinton goal disallowed orly on in the 4th minute for some unknown reason? az we attacked the Hammersmith End opposite to where the Toon fans were housed! 🏠
Just az the goal woz disallowed by VAR Fulim raced doon the pitch and Jiminez fired home to put them 1-0 up!----So instead of ‘US’ bein 1-0 up, we were 1-0 doon!🥶
Anothaa shot rattled the bar from Smith-Roe but they did double their lead in the 22nd minute through the same player, with a shot across the box to Pope's left and although he got a hand to it he woz unable to stop the baall crossin the goal line! Fulim had numerous chances to increase their lead, but thankfully they didnt and they went in 2-0 up at half time with The Toon aall at sixes and sevens!
However!---within a minute of the restart Harvey Barnes had reduced the deficit from a Murphy through baall az he hit a shot acroos the goal and into the corner of the net!
A very lang VAR check followed for a potential offside, but this time the goal woz finally given after a 5 minute delay!
Schar then had a great chance to equalise after a deffensive errror but hiz shot hit the side nettin' instead, with some Toon fans finkin' it had gone in! (Nee such luck!)
The final nail in wor coffin came deep into stoppage time when Bruno inexplicably passed across hiz own box and it woz intercepted by Nelson and he made nee misstayk to seal the victory for The Cottage Pie Brigade!
Another aaful performance from us, but this time we ended up on the losin' end!----One to forget a'm afraid!
Attendance: 25, 830 with plenty of empty seats in The Riverside Stand, where season tickets cost £3,000 and £150 on match day!--- and nee hospitality perks! —that’s for a seat only! 👇
£150 to watch a game of futbaall!!!--who would ever have believed that 46 years ago when I first visited Craven Cottage and yoo could get in for £1! (We won 3-1 that day in 1978–if mee memory sorves me correctly?🤔)
2,300 unhappy Toon fans in The Putney End! (It shud be noted that we were charged a maximum of £30 under the away price cap rule in The Putney End ‘away section’, while Fulim fans were charged £73 in The Putney End ‘home section’!)
