Just Plain Bitter About One Thing

I can't wait to watch Fox Football Fone-In tonight to hear how Nick and Steven try to knock Fulham after they beat Charlton Athletic this afternoon.

Sure they'll say that they they'll lose to Aston Villa this weekend and they definitely will and they'll say that Charlton is in last (and they are) but I'm sure that they were picking the Addicks to beat Fulham today.

And they were wrong yet again.

In fact the only time the two Cottager hating asshats have been right was when Fulham were playing Manchester United and Chelsea. And I'm sure that Nick will not mention that Fulham has lost less times than Liverpool.

Though, no I'm not getting really bitter about the fact that Fulham, despite starting out mid-table, are not getting any respect at all. In fact, I'm so not bitter that I can even feel empathy for Chelsea.

Not that I don't feel awful for Petr Cech since a potentially career ending (and almost life threatening) injury is something that transcends sports. But I also feel bad for Carlo Cudicini who is going to be fine.

I almost didn't feel a bit sick to my stomach when I read that Sam Allardyce is willing to loan Chelsea one of Bolton's backup goalies.

Now, were it a club with financial issues who didn't have players on top of players on top of players, I would be plauditing Bolton. It's not like Chelsea doesn't have a healthy goalie in the system. Their third goalie Hilario is perfectly fine and I'm sure they've got a fourth, fifth, and sixth goalie in their reserves who could probably start for most teams.

Cudicini is going to be back before the January transfer window so Chelsea can wait like most other teams would have to do to get a Premiership quality starter.

Alright, maybe I am a bit bitter.
