After the Chelsea match, I mentioned the obvious fact that if you don’t have the ball, you cannot win.
Well, looking at these two charts that is only sort of true.
Against Villa Paul Konchesky and John Painstil had almost double the amount of passes than against Everton. Not only that, but both had way more incomplete [...]

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 [...]
An opening day win, on the road??
By: timmyg | No Comments
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 [...]

Roy Hodgson decided to not give any first teamers a break heading into lull heading into opening day as the usual starting lineup easily dispatched Vetra 3-0 at home, and 6-0 on aggregate.
Brings a smile to your face, no?
Despite the pouring rain, Dickson Etuhu walked into the header that led to Fulham’s first goal and [...]
Newcastle away

So, so close. So close to a European tour.
And had it not been for Spurs being gifted 3 points, our ticket would already be punched thanks to today’s predictable (yet still anxious) 1-0 victory and West Ham losing.
Barrages came, the line held, Schwarzer saved, Kamara scored. Not too much else to say, really. Seeing AJ [...]

Odd match, that was.
No Simon Davies going into it was not a usual site — that the first match he’s ever missed through injury? — and then Zamora goes down before I’m even fully awake.
Then AJ hobbles off. Later, it’s PK’s turn. Good observation by Roy, saying last 30 minutes were quite poor [...]
“Who’s that team you called United? ‘Cause they lost to Fulham!”

Games: 3. Wins: 2. Draws 1. GF: 5. GA: 2.
That that right there is our home form against the Big Four this season. Although Liverpool come to town in a fortnight and could muck it up, thats still an unbelievable stat.
After two matches in a month and 7-0 aggregate, what was so different this [...]

Bahh didn’t post yesterday because of sickness, and now I have writer’s block because I had to write 3 stories at work today. And I think everyone else covered all the bases of our dominance.
One interesting tidbit though: because Liverpool drew the match and lost the title at the same time, Fulham are tied [...]
Avoiding the banana peel

Us Fulham fans best send thank you cards to Kettering Town goalkeeper Lee Harper because his bungling of Davies’ cross/Zamora’s header/AJ’s goal is really the only separating factor from us advancing to the fifth round and having a replay at the Cottage.
Although, in theory, Fulham should have walked all over the K-Town minnows, it [...]

Finally found some video of yesterday’s win, and from looking at the highlights it seems the two goals were well set up and slotted home by the always classy AJ. CCN has a good write-up from someone who actually saw the whole match. The fans there were happy to win our first away match all [...]
