All I have to say is “THANK YOU JIMMY!” Bullard scored the game winner in the 86th minute as Fulham wins their first match since November 2-1 over Aston Villa at the Cottage.

Bullard fired off a bender that found the back of the net from about 25 yards out. I literally jumped from my couch with a scream that could have been heard 90 miles away in Chicago. In my preview earlier this week, I said Bullard would score and he did! (to be fair, I’ve picked Bullard to score each of the last couple of matches, I just love the guy)

Villa put much pressure on our boys in the second half and you almost got a feeling they were going to walk way with the victory, especially after Aaron Hughes’ own goal in the 68th minute following a lousy Villa corner. But for once the boys in white didn’t fold. Five minutes later, Jimmy Bullard found Simon Davies and the Welsh International scored the equalizer. That was the spark Fulham needed as they played very inspired football from that point on.

A much needed 3 points versus a top 4 club.

On another positive note, Brian McBride saw some playing time for the final 22 minutes and although he didn’t get many touches, he did seem fit. Look for our captain to get more playing time next week. Also look for Eddie Johnson to suite up as well.

GREAT JOB BOYS!!! Man this feels good. I believe Villa drops down to 6th after the defeat. Fulham now sits with 19 points, 3 away from climbing out of the relegation zone.
