# Fulham launch incredible number of digs at Liverpool in match day programme

The [official Fulham matchday programme for Sunday’s 2-1 defeat to Chelsea](https://pocketmags.com/fulham-fc-magazine) included a regular section called “The List”.

In “The List” they looked at three people who they thought had left Fulham too soon and one of those was ex-manager Roy Hodgson, who left Craven Cottage to take over as the manager of Liverpool.

Whilst it’s understandable for Fulham to be upset that Hodgson, who did a good job there, left, their comments on The List were quite staggering.

Here’s what they said about The Reds:

> \[Roy\] was given a frosty reception on his subsequent appointment at Liverpool, with fans being unmoved by his success with smaller provincial clubs like Inter Milan.

> Realising that Roy was not going to win the league immediately and angered by his failure to buy the world’s best players, who would obviously jump at the chance to sign for the team that had dominated Europe a mere three decades earlier, fans quickly lost patience.

> Demonstrating the cool-headed pragmatism that has endeared them to the footballing public, the Liverpool faithful demanded Roy’s replacement be an exciting young manager befitting the club’s stature.

> Setting the time circuits to 1991, the club’s executives piled into the waiting DeLorean and floored it to ‘88, returning with a fresh-faced and energetic Kenny Dalglish, ready to usher in a new era of dominance spearheaded by future club legend Andy Carroll, a shrewd purchase at just £35m.

> Unfortunately, however, Alex Ferguson and Wayne Rooney recovered the time machine, went back to 1991, stole the Sports Almanac and brutally laid out Jan Molby at the ‘Enchantment Under the Sea’ dance.

> This left the club with no option but to drag present day Kenny out of the pub and into the dugout, skewing the timeline and culminating in an underwhelming eighth-place finish and Kenny’s departure (again).

Liverpool face Fulham at Craven Cottage on Match 17th, so they might be able to get their own back on the relegation-threatened side for these rather strange comments
