Fulham 3 (Davies 45+1, Dempsey 56, Hangeland 65) West Bromwich Albion 0
Attendance: 23,654
I must admit that the prospect of spending a
cold Tuesday night in January hanging around a football ground in West London
while two likely relegation candidates battled it out for three points did not
appeal to me very much, but on the positive side I had a new pair of Long Johns
and a thermal under shirt, so I was fairly well wrapped up.
The Albion fans were good natured and kept up their support throughout the game. One in particular had a very nice looking Asian girlfriend, probably Philippina, though she could have been Japanese.
Before the game, the Albion players warmed up by practicing some volleys, so everyone had to be on full alert for flying footballs. One shot by Peter Odemwingie hit one supporter and it was really good to see him make a special effort at the final whistle to hand over his match shirt to her, by way of compensation. A small but very important gesture that will mean that my opinion of him in the future will always be positive.
