Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar was the hero as Fulham secured a point against London rivals Charlton Athletic at Craven Cottage on Boxing Day.
But the big debate was whether unpredictable striker Luis Boa Morte should be cast in the role of villain.
Oh yes he should? Referee Steve Bennett obviously thought so. He yellow carded the Portuguese star for his 20th minute tumble in the Charlton box deciding Boa Morte was trying to deceive him and win a penalty.
Oh no he shouldn't? Fulham assistant manager Christian Damiano claims his player is being victimised by the men in black.
And there was a sting in the tale. Six minutes from time Fulham appeared to have a genuine case for a penalty when Charlton goalkeeper Dean Kiely sent the Whites star crashing.
To be fair, three points would probably have been more than Fulham deserved.
The best chance of the game came after 22 minutes when Jason Euell raced clear but, faced by the imposing figure of van der Sar, could not find the target.
Fulham 0: Charlton Athletic 0
