Fulham vs Hamburg

Stevecw

Wow, that is just amazing!! Especially after going a goal down.

Delighted for Fulham.

And Roy Hodgson is a certainty to get manager of the year and rightly so!!

Congrats Fulham. Fair play Roy Hodgson. Great manager.

Necronomicon

Chuffed for them. There's something so likeable about Fulham. Hodgson is a legend.

flahavaj

Ah, absolutely delighted, especially for the Duffer.

Written off by many this eyar, he's had quite the renaissance at Fulham under Roy's expert eye.

Not by me! I wanted to sign the fecker from Newcastle.

Seriously though, after the Paris nightmare I am chuffed to see him get another final.

Paparazzo

Just read this on Eurosport:

Long by Guerrero but Schwarzer punches AND FULHAM ARE IN THE FINAL! CRIKEY! Incredible! One goal from relegation two years ago and now they are in a European final. What an achievement

Roy Hodgson is the real special one!

Boskowski

Feel sorry for HSV. Should have been their final in their own stadium.
Having said that, nice fight, great spirit, well deserved. Fair play Fulham.

I saw that.

Thought this was great:

BBC Sport's Phil McNulty at Craven Cottage: "Fantastic scenes as Fulham's players take a deserved lap of honour. But what about the architect of this wonderful achievement Roy Hodgson? He strolls off with his hand in his pocket, stopping only to offer consoling words to the beaten Hamburg players. This most experienced manager is cool and calm. History has been made on the banks of the Thames tonight - and Hodgson has enhanced his glowing reputation again. A wonderful occasion."

The man deserves a knighthood or some sort of honour. What a class act.

Cheers Gillington. We would have got hammered if Labbadia was still in charge imo.

Moniz's inexperience showed in the 2nd half.

When our day comes it will taste that much sweeter after this.

Well done Fulham, deserved it.

Raskolnikov

Shakhtar Donetsk, Juventus, Wolfsburg and now HSV. All I can say is, I fcuking wish I was a Fulham supporter right about now. You really can't speak highly enough of Roy Hodgson here, he's got a team full of ordinary players like Etuhu, Hughes and Pantsil playing quality football like seasoned European veterans. Delighted for Duffer too, hope he nabs the winner in the final.

jaykay74

Fingers crossed for the Duffer that he doesn't manage to injure himself before the final. Would love to see Fulham win it.

Delighted for the Cottagers and Roy Hodgson. They deserve to win it now. Especially against Atlético who have won a minimal amount of games to get this far (not to take anything away from their achievement).

redzerdrog

cograts to fulham hope they win it now

Karma!!! The german rangers are out. And the final in their own stdium. GIRUY. Delighted for Fulham. Deserved for the Duffer and Hodgson.

JerryHandbag

You really just run out of superlatives to describe Roy Hodgson. Well played Fulham, I dont think I've ever cheered on another Premiership team so loudly before!!:D

Delighted for Duff, to get to play in a final after his tears in Paris. Chuffed for him. And a special mention too for John Pantsils lap of honour at the end. I think it was 2 laps actually

Panstil is actually a real class player I really like him

Delighted for Fulham though I do think Liverpool would be easier to play than Athletico in the final.

As a Liverpool fan i agree with this as well.

I cant see past Atleti now (though i did say that aboutShaktar, Juve.....)

NabyLadistheman

What a story. Fulham - destined for Relegation with 3 games to go. Injury time winners & they stayed up. Now there in a European Final which I hope to hell they win. It's a funny old game

HSV have links with Glasgow Rangers. And I belive St Pauli, HSV's rivals(?), have links with Celtic.

amazing achievement - for a small club not spending multi millions - restores my faith in English Premireship football - shows all that is good in the English game and the kind of thing that made English Premiership football so popular in the first place

Fan links, nothing official from what I know.

There's Rangers fans over in Germany all the time to watch HSV.

Everyone on board the Fulham bandwagon! This final will be fantastic, I can't wait!

Well done Fulham.

I saw Fulham play Gold Coast whoever in a pre-season friendly last July. My God they were awful. Know it was only a friendly, but they were hideous. How things have changed! Fair play to them.

Bah Humbug...they weren't there when they were 2-0 down to Citeh and relegated a few seasons ago..they weren't there with 15 minutes to go at Fratton Park, they weren't there when Pat Dolan ridiculed Hodgson at half time against Liverpool...or when Saha nearly toppled United in their first game in the Premier League..or the dark days of Loftus Rd...

Grrr...

*steps back on board bandwagon* :cool:

Why would anyone jump on a relegation bandwagon? That's no fun at all. Whereas an underdog in the Europa league final is a fantastic wagon to jump on!

Bounty Hunter

still some standing room on the ladders lads, gwan the Fulham

Oat23

Thought of this game after seeing Fulham go down today. Some fall in 4 seasons for both. HSV will be lucky to stay up as well.
