Hmmm I just saw Jhon Duran’s red card and it actually looks harsh.

“We can manage the game bettersays Chelsea’s Maresca. “We allowed too many changes in the second half. They (Fulham) are very good in transition. It is a game from which we can learn many things. We have to manage the game better…

“It’s just a game that we unfortunately lost. Now we have to recharge our batteries and set off again in three days.

“It’s not because we win or lose, we’re ready or not ready (to win the title) … it’s the feeling we have inside us. The best thing we can do is focus game by game and see what we need to improve.”

“Losing in the end is difficultsays Cole Palmer about Chelsea’s late defeat against Fulham.

“We played well in the first half. We controlled the game and had a few chances. We lost a bit of control in the second half and they are a good transition team.

“I don’t think we lost any energy or intensity. We just lost control. They turned it into a game – running and stuff – that we’re not that good at. We have to try to manage the game a little better.”

“We knew we wouldn’t win every single game… it’s the manager’s first season… we’re just improving and playing better as a team… it’s a good opportunity to learn.”

“It’s football, it happens, it’s one of those games where we lost control for 20 minutes and they scored two goals. Well done Fulham.”

Last question: Did he want to upset Issa Diop for his goal?

Palmer nods and says, “Yes.”

Blackburn 2-2 SunderlandMiddlesbrough 3-3 Sheffield Wednesday, Coventry 4-0 Plymouth, Sheffield United 0-2 Burnley.

There you will find a few results from the championship, all today’s results can be found here.

Wolves vs Manchester United – live!

“Coming here, a local rival … we played a little differently with a five-man chain and it worked,” says Fulham’s Harry Wilson. “We didn’t come here and park the bus, we tried to play.

“I’m trying to shake off the super sub tag.”

On his goal: “I thought maybe I was offside, I looked over the line. I didn’t know it hit the post, I thought I found the bottom corner. That was luck.”

“I always wonder Why Rooney doesn’t just give up and devote himself to specialist literature,” writes Sean. “But I think it’s still better to take big losses in the Championship than listen to Carragher and Richards laugh at some lame pun every weekend.”

Also fair.

Saints vs West Ham is still ongoing. West Ham wins 1-0.

“I would like to take some of the credit “For Fulham’s remarkable victory,” writes Phil. “I spent a considerable part of the afternoon telling my friends that we haven’t won at the Bridge since October 1979 and that is unlikely to change today.”

“I’m not sure how good Man United’s new bosses are at football,” writes Zach. “But their media management was very strong. Days of focus on a player who quietly sank to the bench and was bravely sold has filled the headlines rather than him still being bad on the pitch.”

Just. I wonder: how does it make sense to advertise that discounts for Rashford will apparently be welcome? Not very small profits.

Coventry 4-0 Plymouth is a full-time point from the championship. Things are not looking good for Rooney at Argyle.

Full time: Newcastle 3-0 Aston Villa

Full time: Chelsea – Fulham 1:2

Full time: Bournemouth 0-0 Crystal Palace

Full time: Nottingham Forest 1-0 Tottenham

Fulham break through on the right! The ball is crossed low and Muniz takes the ball well into his hands and shoots the ball cleverly over the goalkeeper! Fulham seem to have won!

GOAL! Chelsea – Fulham 1:2 (Muniz 90+5)

“Good day“, begins David Alderton.

“As for the Merseyside weather, I’ve just returned from a walk in New Brighton (as sung by local band The Boo Radleys) and it was a real feel-good oasis out there. I can barely see the new Toffees ground over the river and Anfield usually sits proudly on the brow of the hill over the water.”

“Funny There are so many different opinions surrounding Antony Gordon’s lookalikes,” writes Hasan. “When I see him, I immediately remember Jonny from the 1984 Karate Kid series. Anyway, let’s hope Forest brings her inner Cobra Kai to life today. Strike first, strike hard, no mercy, Spurs! (Sorry, I had to do it…)”

Fulham are well at the top from “Chels” at the moment. Almost full time.

But now Chelsea almost won! Sancho forces a great save from Leno!

Simon McMahonour unofficial and certainly unpaid Scottish Premiership correspondent, writes in:

“Dundee United, who had fallen behind at half-time, turned things around in Perth and are currently leading 2-1 against St Johnstone with ten minutes to go. Celtic are 3-0 up at home to Motherwell, meaning United would leapfrog the Steelmen into fourth place if they were eliminated. Kilmarnock and Ross County both lead 2-0 against Aberdeen and Dundee respectively.”

Al Pacino I snuck into the away bench at St. James’ Park today, my colleague Paul Bellsham points out:

Goal! Chelsea 1-1 Fulham (Wilson 82)

Andy writes about the city’s conspiracy theories:

“My theory is that they know they are facing a European ban. So why should they bother this year?

“Ortega never got to the Ndiaye goal, Harland scores a penalty, the proof is there, wake up sheep ;)”

Ha ha, that made me laugh.

On the subject of similarities“, writes Bill, “I note that Chris Paraskevas makes the common mistake of seeing Lee Bowyer clashing with Kieron Dyer when in reality it was post-Beverley Hills cop Jonathan Banks.” Bowyer’s reputation on Toon was so large that the team was never allowed formal buffet events.”

I love it, Bill.

“Is that the gentleman who ruined the buffet at the Harrow Club this morning?”

“Now I know you’re not John Kettley (He is a weatherman) but there is talk that fog could spoil the Anfield game,” writes Ian. “Do you have the latest skinny?”

My sources tell me Liverpool are up against Leicester (8pm KO).

Sels made three good saves by Brennan Johnson, the former Forest man, says Michael Dawson on Sky. But he adds that Forest looks comfortable.

That means Bournemouth 0-0 Crystal Palace is the only goalless game of the five kick-off games at 3pm.

Goal! Southampton 0-1 West Ham (Bowen 59)
