After the Birmingham match, I hoped - I thought - we could do it . . . but the moment of victory was even sweeter than when we won promotion to the Premier League. Great credit must go to the players for finally rousing themselves from the torpor that seemed to grip them for to much of the season. Even more praise should be heaped on Roy Hodgson and his staff. How modest that man was in victory. He`s an example to football managers everywhere. He now has a few precious months without the pressure of relegation to sort out the squad and work on the players so that next season we won`t be in the same mess again. We the supporters can now enjoy a blissful month or two before we start worrying about transfers! I`m almost lost for words at “the great escape”.

As fate would have it, Fulham have another year (and hopefully MANY more) in the premiership. I told myself that if the miracle happens and Fulham stay up, then I need to bite the bullet and get a TV package with Fox Soccer and Setanta (hitting the sports bar at 10am Sat morning in New York is a bit too much to handle). Well, I guess the cable guy will be visiting soon. Thanks to all for keeping the faith. COYW! It still hasn’t sunk in yet.

Celebrating 17th?! Weird perspective we've all gained. If everyone loved a winner, why would they be slumming around with us Fulham fans? Celebrating 17th?! Weird perspective we’ve all gained.
