Fulham 1 Burnley 1, Sunday 16th February 2003
Still in the hat

The statistics said...

We drew 1-1 at Fulham's temporary home of Loftus Road to secure a replay in the fifth round of the FA Cup. Our goal was scored in the 4th minute by Alan Moore; Steed Malbranque equalised for Fulham just before half time. The replay will be at Turf Moor on Wednesday 26th February, with a 7.45pm kick-off. It has also been confirmed that Sky will be showing the game live.

Our survey said...

Please note: as the Web Tsarina was ill, vox pops were taken by Paddy. As this was after a not inconsiderable intake of alcohol, it's entirely possible that your carefully chosen words have mutated a little. We apologise in advance for any misrepresentation!

Brent:

A good, solid, professional performance. Fulham huffed and puffed, but they ran out of steam. We deserved the draw, and proved just how good we can be. Diallo and Cox were magnificent.

Steve R:

A fantastic game, which we deserved to win. However, the forward line was a bit weak, and we missed Little. We need a new midfield player.

Paddy:

A good, hardworking performance. Fulham created very little, and we battled and kept them out. A fully deserved draw.

Trippo:

A great defensive performance, but at the end of the day, just glad to have them back at the Turf. Cox, Diallo and Beresford were at the heart of a good performance. Taylor and Branch played out of their skins. The fans were tremendous. A draw was a good result - and we're the only team from the North West of England still in the hat!

Joanne:

Alan Moore played well. It was a good defensive performance. Gareth's highlights are shocking!

Firmo:

A draw was an excellent result. We played very well, and tried to put in early balls for both Moores to run onto. It worked - I've seen the TV replay, and it was Alan Moore who kept his head and calmly slotted the ball under the goalkeeper. Hats off, Alan.

As far as Fulham were concerned, I thought we showed them too much respect. They're just a small town in Egypt, after all. By the end we were hanging on a bit, but Fulham were hopeless in front of goal.

I'm looking forward to the replay - I think we've got a great chance. Cox and Diallo were superb today.

Lee W:

A good team performance, but I thought we should have tried to win the game by attacking more, instead of settling for a draw.

Becko:

We started off very, very well, and defended well throughout the game. A draw is a good result, and remember that we are one of the 9 teams now left in the FA Cup.

Lee F:

We were fantastic - we played well and were well organised. Bring on Fulham at the Turf. We can beat them. We are now representing the whole of the North in the FA Cup!

Poll of the day

How it works: A key issue from the day is highlighted, and voted on by a sample of London Clarets. Today's poll saw 17 votes cast.

The question: Will we beat Fulham back at the Turf?

The result: 12 optimistic London Clarets said "Of course, no problem!". 5 more pessimistic souls, however, can foresee a Fulham victory. Boo.

Pic of the day

Bad behaviour must be punished...take a hundred lines.

100 lines: I will NOT criticise Alan Moore
