Fulham picked up the Charlton mantle when we dropped out of the Premier League and Roy Hodgson became the new Alan Curbishley. That's probably harsh on Hodgson whose CV significantly outshines Curbs', but he picked up the role of manager of London's most unfashionable Premier League club and he has over-performed a la Curbishley since taking over.
Having gone one better than Curbishley and steered Fulham into Europe, albeit the Europa League, he's gone and taken them to the final tonight. In yet another stirring performance, Fulham came from behind to beat Hamburg 2-1 with good friend of my step-sister, Simon Davies, providing a top quality finish to get the Cottagers back in it before Gera got the winner.
If we had managed to reach this stage of a European competition, you could bet it wouldn't be televised and Fulham were no exceptions this evening. Good luck to them in the final - I will cheer them all the way and wouldn't bet against Roy embellishing his CV further.
