Right, so there’s another international break so sort out which (eleventh-hour ranked) teams will qualify for the World Cup.
Things here will go dark until the trip to Brum in a week and a half.
Until then, feel free to visit my tumblr if you want to keep up with whatever I am posting.
Cheers!

Europa League Round 4 Preview
By: timmyg | 1 Comment
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 our beans!”
More tabling goodness: Thursday [...]

National teams aside, just where exactly does our team come from? A few may surprise you.

Chris Baird and the seven substitutes
By: timmyg | No Comments
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 lack of substitutes created a [...]
Loaner Report

It’s back!
Sure, there are only three players on loan and all will be back by the end of the month. But why not see how our lads are doing outside SW6?
Adam Watts joined Fulham alumnus Ian Pearce at Lincoln City on Friday, October 2 and went straight into the starting lineup on Saturday, playing [...]
Staying in London…

For the first time since we were in the old second division, Fulham are top of the table. The Europa League Group E table that is!
Yesterday’s 1-0 win over FC Basle wasn’t anything pretty, or even memorable. But it was a victory; a Roy Hodgson-esque victory.
One that took us top, even after two games!
Ah, [...]
Alumni report

Considering there are but a few loaners this season, why not a mini alumni report?
Olivier Dacourt signed for Standard Liège last week as replacement for the injured Steven Dafour. He penned a one year deal but has yet to feature for the club. Like when he first arrived at Fulham, he probably needs some time [...]
Words for the gaffer
By: timmyg | No Comments
Jon Champion at soccernet has some enlightening words to say about our gaffer.
My favorite part:
Thank goodness, then, that Fulham have such a clever manager guiding them. I first came across Hodgson during his stint at Blackburn more than a decade ago, and subsequent encounters at major tournaments, where he dissects matches for UEFA’s Technical Committee, [...]
Carling Cup City

Eddie Johnson starts! Kagisho Evidence Dikgacoi on the bench! Stoor back from exile! Live audio from Gentleman Jim!
Exclamation Points!
Wow. Really cannot complain about that one. Our reserves (valued at roughly 25 million quid) took ManCity’s first team squad (valued at over 400 million quid) into extra time, at Eastlands.
And Fulham even scored a goal, [...]
Checking the books
By: timmyg | No Comments
A 1-1 draw in Sofia coupled with Roma losing 2-0 in Basel is a good way to start off the Europa League Group Stages.
I can’t comment on the match too much, other than what’s seen in these highlights, but it appeared we were unfortunate to go down thanks to a good strike from Michel Platini [...]
