Wolves closer to safety as Fulham fail to fire

ANOTHER disappointing result for Fulham but you can forgive the Cottagers if they only have eyes for their Europa League semi-final against Hamburg right now.

UEFA are due to make a decision today on whether Thursday’s first-leg tie will go ahead in Germany after the disruption caused to flights by the ash cloud from the Icelandic volcanic eruption.

Volcanic, though, would not exactly be the word for this match. It gave dull a bad name. Even so, Fulham’s makeshift striker Zoltan Gera would prefer to forget a dreary Saturday by the Thames. He cannot wait to take on the Germans in their own back yard.
