I was at Craven Cottage on Saturday to see Fulham outclass a poor Middlesboro side and mantain their impressive unbeaten run.
Unfortunately I forgot my golden rule of always backing Fulham at odds against in home matches as the layers once again underestimated the team with the best home record in the league
The 3-0 scoreline flattered Boro as Andy Johnson missed 2 one on ones and Bobby Zamora missed a couple of chances to increase the damage.
Zamora recovering from a hip injury came off the bench in the 1st half and changed the game.
His hold up play, distribution and physical presence have given Fulham an added dimension this season and makes you wonder why West Ham let him go. I watched Carlton Cole labour up front for the Hammers against Villa and there is no doubt which playerI would prefer in my team.
Sure goals have been hard to come by for Zamora, just the one Premier League strike against Bolton (a top quality finish), have opened him up to criticism especially amongst those who only judge strikers by their goalscoring record.
But in an era where Emile Heskey is suddenly back in favour and starting for England, goals are no longer the benchmark measure for English target men.
Zamora was prolific with Brighton in the lower divisions and although according to many he has never set the Premier League alight - it was him and not Tevez that top scored for West Ham when they cheated their way to survival a couple of years ago - Zamora is a far better finisher than Heskey.
Bobby may not make it into the England set up(although I wouldn't rule it out under Capello), but he is sure to start hitting the net for Fulham in the near future and is worth backing to score at anytime in upcoming matches.

Hi there, I suppose you must be pissed off with Betfair, their charges and customer service and the general lack of competition in betting exchanges. I developed a website: www.betdaqrevolution.com we have a couple of members already even though the site is on for a couple of hours.
Check it out and please do sign in. It would be awesome if you could write something about the website on your blog and try to motivate people to sign in and take part in our experiment. Tell it to people you know as well. I know the website will not do a miracle but anyway it will raise awareness of Betdaq and that something is happening there. Plus it will show to Betfair that there is some resistance and this may make them think twice before any new scams.
You can leave your blog name in the Name section of the “create an account” and I will post a link to your blog next to your name on the list. If you have any comments, suggestions, want to contribute an article please write to: contact@betdaqrevolution.com
