       Race for Europe.

       This could be a fantastic end to the season with still lots up
       for grabs, from the title race, european spots and of course the
       battle at the bottom.
       Newcastle are probably the only team on the beach, with nothing
       really left to play for… Palace are probably looking more to
       Europe now rather than domestic affairs.
       Fulham v Bournemouth is massive now in a couple of weeks time…
       We’ve still got Arsenal away, AFCB home, Wolves away and lastly
       home to Newcastle.
       Everton, AFCB and Brentford still have Man City to play, and
       Brighton probably have the easier run in.
       Chelsea v Liverpool is a big game too.

       Whoever thought the words "Fulham v Bournemouth is massive now
       in a couple of weeks time…" would be said in relation to
       European places. That's just mental, we were relegation fodder
       not that long ago! Days after the 17th anniversary of the -17
       points as well. Would love to see us do it obviously and let
       Andoni leave on a real high, forever in the official history
       books. Sorry big 6 clubs but the class of 22 are here to stay
       and to compete and not just to make up the numbers.

       I am indeed enjoying the race for European football this season
       which involves teams who have never been there before!
       I’d really like to see any of Bournemouth, Brentford or Fulham
       get there so we get some new teams in Europe. I wouldn’t mind to
       see Brighton in there either but they were Europa League a few
       seasons ago.
       Whatever happens, it’s likely to be an exciting end to the
       season with lots of important matches across the next month.

       Don't forget Fulham's glorious European run, beating Juve on the
       way to being runners up in 2010, would be great to see them back
       of course.

       I very nearly managed to get two tickets for the Hamburg final
       but my internet died just as I was booking and lost the seats.
       Had to settle for television, but that season was memorable to
       say the least.
       Dempsey’s goal against Juve after a very young Kuipers reduced
       Juve to ten men, ultimately 9 men, was the best goal I’ve ever
       seen at the Cottage.

       We’ve been through Parkerball at Fulham and it was a dull as
       dishwater.
       If West Ham go down, I think Parker could end up there and we
       will have Nuno if Silva goes to Benfica as being reported…
