AcidBurn Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 After surviving the first season in the Championship with Crewe after back to back promotions I was heading for another slightly better rmid table finish but suddenly my team started to play really well and on the last day of the season we were 2 points off the play-off's. Fulham were on a slide down the league after looking certain for a play-off place. Last day of the season we were at home against Watford and Fulham were at home against Reading who needed a win to ensure they stayed in the league. After not winning in four league matches we went on to win six in a row. Fulham however lost their last six games. The last day was tense as I saw Reading had put 4 past Fulham and we were at 0-0 until the 90th minute when our star striker went through on goal and scored to send us into the play-off's. We had never beat Peterboro in my time at Crewe but somehow we managed to beat them easily. Then came Southampton a team in the final we took the lead and then they drew level but we managed a penalty win. League Table So this meant that we get to play in the EPL next season. This sort of thing is why I love FM if it was the other way round I would hate it. It has however left me wondering what the hell happened to Fulham?

Fanatical Ollie Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 That's football I guess! That's the drug, there's drama and passion and heartbreak and joy. Its what keeps us coming back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjm Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I've seen very similar things happen, with shoe-ins for automatic promotion falling into a play off spot after utterly combusting in the last 6-8 games or so. There's always at least one team that has a poor run in, albeit not always quite so dramatic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
