I was going to write on yesterday’s match at the time, but decided there’s nothing much to discuss.
So instead I went to the Maryland State Fair, where cattle judging and beekeeping tutorials were more entertaining. Then, a bar to enjoy one dollar natty boh’s.
It wasn’t a terrible match. Just a non-event, as Rich at CCN [...]

Perm, crunching the numbers
By: timmyg | No Comments
Similar in style to the turd sandwich Chelsea left at the Nou Camp last May, Fulham’s display in the Urals was nothing to write home about.
Or even commend, other than it did the job and saw us through.
Injuries and breathers forced Roy to make a roster and tactics fitting for an advanced-stage Carling [...]
Perm Preview

Wow, lots to get to before the lads kick off in under an hour.
First, Kagisho Dikgacoi FINALLY signs with the club. One of my biggest regrets about the Confederations Cup was never spending time to watch the lad play. But from what I hear, he was a major cog in the Bafana Bafana machine that [...]

Any thoughts Roy may change things up on Thursday against Amkar Perm will be boosted after today’s reserves lost 3-0 to Arsenal reserves.
The lineup of Etheridge; Marsh-Brown, Anderson, Briggs, Smalling; Saunders, Harris, Moscatiello, Smith; Hoesen, Uwezu shows what I mean.
Even Smalling, Eddie Johnson, or Andranik didn’t make the short trip to Underhill. Perhaps McKinlay wanted [...]

Well, when you don’t have the ball you cannot score. And when you cannot score, you can’t win. Or sometimes even draw.
Which summed up today’s performance, as evidenced by the chart below comparing their wide-backs to ours. Jose Bosingwa and Ashley Cole had 112 total passes between them — Cashley with 60 himself, while Paul [...]

A Pyrrhic victory perhaps?
After cruising to a 3-0 lead, Amkar Perm rescue a crucial late away goal to blemish an otherwise respectable 3-1 result. And then we learn AJ will be out for 8 weeks with a dislocated shoulder/collarbone.
No wonder other managers throw in the towel in this competition at a certain point?
Roy is [...]

Oh boy, more sneakiness on the offal again. Or is it incompetence?
Damien Duff signed for the club today, just a week or so after it was initially reported. But while looking at the First Team and reserves page I noticed two names were missing: Wayne Brown and Elliot Omosuzi.
Dan at Hammyend.com mentioned that Omosuzi was [...]

For the first time in six years, Fulham won their opening day match, and for the first time since we were in the league that win was on the road.
Dempsey’s deflected shot off Zamora was enough for Fulham to win 1-0 over Pompey in a rather uneventful, if not typical away, match. Standard Hodgson.
Portsmouth occasionally [...]

Last week I commented that the reserves were taking on the Uzbekistan U-20 National Team, and that match would be the last tune up before opening day.
But then today the offal announces this:
Supportes should note that the Reserve Team match against the Uzbekistan U20 national team at Motspur Park, Kick-Off 1pm, is a behind [...]

A day late but not a dollar short.
The draw for the Playoff Round of the Europa League was held yesterday and Fulham are off to Perm, Russia. There are some pros and cons to this fixture, which I’ll get to later on. Right now, lets recap the Third Qualifying Round.
Only one major upset, as [...]
