Funny, I was about to cite the Roma blog here (Daryl, is it kosher to start a cross-Offside blog feud??) but Dan beat me to the punch in ... http://fulham.theoffside.com/team-news/roma-and-the-ref-in-the-europa.html All the hoopla regarding the Champions League has driven me to focus on Thursday's fixture against Roma, perhaps out of spite. Sure, the Europa League is basically the NIT and doesn't amount to a hill of beans. But as Frank Drebbn once said, "But this is our hill. And these are ... http://fulham.theoffside.com/team-news/europa-league-round-4-preview.html Rich over at CCN has been having some fun with tables from days gone by to prove points about Phil Brown and Fulham's salvation. Although we're not yet at third-way, Roy often says it takes 10 matches to see where a club is going. Although I agree with him on premise, ... http://fulham.theoffside.com/team-news/tabling-tables.html In a rather bizarre twist, Elliot Omosuzi was loaned out to Charlton Athletic. Despite the fact that he was reportedly released over the summer. The offal says he is "still registered" with the club.

Liverpool were having a terrible season up until last weekend when they defeated rivals United and Torres scored ... http://fulham.theoffside.com/team-news/fulham-3-liverpool-1.html Expect a similar lineup that appeared last weekend at Eastlands. Danny Murphy, Simon Davies, Dickson Etuhu and Andy Johnson all remain injured. Thankfully, Liverpool will be without Steven Gerrard, Glen Johnson, and Alberto Aquilani. Excluding Stevie G, that's nearly 35 million pounds -- 56.8 million dollars -- unavailable. Fernando Torres will ... http://fulham.theoffside.com/team-news/liverpool-preview.html National teams aside, just where exactly does our team come from? A few may surprise you.

Fredrik Stoor started and played 61 minutes in ... http://fulham.theoffside.com/team-news/loaner-report-1026.html I probably should have posted this in previewing today's match against Manchester City, but it's probably better looking at it in retrospect to the earlier result. That is City's transfer activity in the past three transfer windows. Of the 19 players listed, 11 played today. The total cost of those 11 ... http://fulham.theoffside.com/team-news/city-away-2.html When the Premier League went from 5 substitutes to 7 last season the switch was perceived by many as the end of the utility-player. An additional two players on the bench meant managers had more opportunities to impact the game tactically. The rosters then were about the same size, but the ... http://fulham.theoffside.com/player-news/chris-baird-and-the-seven-substitutes.html
