Coleman blasts boo-boys

Fulham manager Chris Coleman has slammed a small section of the Craven Cottage faithful for booing his side during the 1-0 win over Everton.
Coleman feels that some of the fans are quick to forget where the club were a few years ago, with his team now in the top half of the Premiership table.
He commented: "There are a few of our fans in the corner by the tunnel, and it's always the same ones, who, if we are not 2-0 up at half-time, will generally boo us off.
"I have been here a long time and I can't remember, when I joined, us playing in the Champions League. But I can remember where we were compared to where we are now and I have got a long memory.
"We are not going to come here every week and play beautiful football to win games, we are not good enough to do that. We have to win scrappy games.
"I told the players not to worry that they had been booed off. The players know me, I tell them what I see and I don't kid them on.
"Most of our crowd are great, but there is a certain section who have short memories, unfortunately."
