Have you seen his goalscoring record for us? I imagine it's inferior to Neville's in terms of goals per game.

He scored one and had a couple of great headers on goal this season on corners.

Well I'm having to eat my words atm about Ossie

Uh, apart from the goal which Pienaar handed to him on a golden plate, Osman has been completely [Poor language removed] all game long. Has given the ball every time he's had it. Absolutely abysmal.

Had we started the season with decent home form we would have been very close to top 4 or better....

still my concern is how many points the top 4 have 0.o i cant remember a season when 4th had such high points

i bet all the ossy lovers will be saying once again he has had a great match because he scored

Na Osman did great to take the ball past Schwarzer, it wasn't on a plate. Anichebe would've missed it.

I exaggerated there, he did well with the goal. I just wanted to make it clear that apart from that moment Osman had looked like an amateur this game.

Oh, and this is a dumb point, but I like Fulham just because of the fact that the stands virtually overhang the pitch. There is literally zero runoff.

Fulham are the Monte Carlo grand prix of the Premier League. i.e. actually a bit dull, but the compact nature of the location at least makes it unique and somewhat interesting.

wonder what price for a top 4 finish next season? looks like for the first time in many years we could have a decent pre season with most signings done and dusted.

We have to crash early out of at least 2 cup competitons + have no injuries. The injuries are key, I think a healty squad would have been 1-2pts above or below Arse on the final day.

Be fair. I'm not his greatest fan, but he did have his UEFA moments, if you remember...

Interesting the way Rodwell is being used in this game - almost in a Fellaini role.

My stream is on and off but Rodwell looks very good. Any other views?

Anichebe has his strengths but he hasn't got the touch or the composure to evade an out-rushing keeper and score from an angle like that.

I keep on saying be fair, but to be fair to Arsenal they've been on a great run themselves. I thought we might catch them anyway.

rodwell as matured a lot since we first saw him in the first team, a few more seasons and i reckon he will be absolutely top drawer for us (y)

Rodwell is doing pretty good as well, could work a bit more on his first touch under pressure, but he has good strength and the shot he took was great, if he didn't take a shot in that open space he would never make it into the starting XI.

Osman is doing OK, apart from the goal he has been quite he should support Hibbert on the right to get more ball in, like Baines and Pienaar is doing!

Saha need to move a bit more, apart from that he is getting more match fitness, Cahill is doing great as well.

The defence has been doing OK, but need to wake up a bit couple of half chance was given to Fulham, mainly to do with Yobo, Lescott and Hibbert. Lucky Baines recover well to save CB mistake.
