Very grey area, imo. Looks like they AREN'T trying every available avenue to get the game to go ahead, and so a forfeit might be applicable - but someone better versed in legal language and contract law could shed better light. There certainly seems to be enough options on the table to get the game to be played such that if Fulham themselves won't play it, but Liverpool will, then there could be grounds for a forfeiture?

I'm thinking they're banking on the fact that a match forfeit and -3 goals will help them far more come the end of the season than a match loss and -10 goal difference would.

Play the ****er behind closed doors then. Simple.

The mail seems to think we are getting done a favour ahead of the arsenal cup game like we dont wanna play again the form we are in

[Alex]

Two schools of thought for me. We dont play the game, hopefully our main rivals drop points and we are in a similar position to when we started (unlikely), but we also get rested up better for the Cup game.

The other being that we need to keep up this momentum and smash apart Fulham to keep high pressure on the teams above us.

Personally Id rather just get it done and let others worry about us than vice versa. Its not like we need to rest players atm.

[Norbs]

Bet we play it and drop points

[Alex]

Yeah, thats the 3rd option I am not thinking about.

Because we drop points here all that good work will have gone to waste. Bubble burst

[Corndog]

I'd rather we play it. Knowing your opponents results (whether they are good or bad) can weigh on minds. Can't say for sure, but the way they started the West Brom game was nervy, perhaps they were too conscious that united had dropped points.

[Norbs]

Bold statement here but I think we're more feared than anyone else at the moment and Fulham will be buoyed by having held United away from home. Our best tactic would be to force some set pieces and try to get our noses in front knowing Fulham will have to then take a risk. Stick your money on the first goal coming from a headed corner again

****ing whining Londoners. Always the same. **** place, **** people.

[JohnDoe]

I'd really hate to have this "game in hand" for the next six weeks. It's just annoying as ****.

[Shaggy]

How come Fulham played Sheff Utd at home while the strike was on? They weren't arsed then. Cunts.
