If we’re serious about challenging then we need to win both really. A crucial few days. COYS!

Fulham at home is a must win. That's not a case of taking it for granted...in some ways, it's quite the opposite. We've had some squeakers recently and it would be great to have a strong home performance under the lights.

Didn't realise this, i stand corrected thanks.Yes, it happened to Scousers last season, anyway playing Friday gives plenty of recovery time before next match and if we were in Europe we would be playing with a similar gap between games.

Monday night is a pain though I guess we've got used to it but I'm really not a fan of Friday night. It's really a consequence of no European football.

Can't see anyone other than PEH coming in tonight for Biss, Ange has relied on him from the bench in previous games so reckon he will get the nod.
Monday/Friday games are the consequence of being high in the table super attractive for TV coverage and no europe.
Can't wait for the moans to start around December time about short time between games , on Sunday 3rd Man City away, Tuesday 5th West Ham at home.
On the plus side at the moment in December we have three home matches on Saturday's with 3pm kick offs , how long will that last?

The tv picks have only been made up to and including the City game. The game v West Ham will move to either the Wednesday or Thursday and it’s likely other games will get moved for tv - certainly Newcastle (h).

Really looking forward to this one. We've been fantastic this season, but we could do with a game where we just take control of the match from the off and win convincingly. Apart from Bournemouth (and obviously the second half against Burnley) I don't feel we've done that yet this season.

WHU is already a TV game on Amazon , possible that it will be moved to Wednesday but Amazon have only the one game on the Wednesday which is Man U v Chelsea all the rest of their matches scheduled for Tuesday, not sure why.
As President of the 'Take a Draw Now' Society
I would advise Members to eschew taking a draw now.
There is no such thing as a 'Must win' game and this is one of them,
and the reason why the 'Must Win Society doesn't exist.
But a win tonight puts us top with a two clear point advantage
and the awesome possibility of being 5 points ahead before the weekend.
A draw keeps us in the leading pack but lacks the defining quality of a win.
If everyone disagrees, I am willing to put my self appointed Chairmanship up for grabs
at the next AGM in January 2033.
It's a ten-year appointment.
Read the Bye-laws and the small print (Available from His Majesty's Stationary Office.)

Mr President, are you weakening under the optimism of Aussie Ange? I sense a softening in your leadership?
Come on Mr G2, swap your allegiance.

No, the Charter suggests a draw is appropriate only when facing top 6 rivals.
or in very special circumstances
Fulham are currently a bottom half team and a draw is inappropriate.
Give them the respect they deserve. Namely none.
I think I can reveal that Ange, shrewd tactician that he is, is a founding member.

Read the Bye-laws for Heaven's sake.

I’m getting up at 5:30am for this one, and looking forward to the game, after the international break.
