Wille is on to something/loaner report

By: timmyg | Comments 5 Comments

Tom Wille, FulhamUSA founder and Fulham correspondent for ESPN Soccernet, penned a piece that I wish I’d thought of: Why All the Road Matches After Europa League Ties?
Seriously, Fulham have (counting backwards) gone from Rome to Wigan, London (Roma home) to Manchester City, London (Basle home) to West Ham, Sofia to Wolves and Perm [...]

Marky Mark saves Fulham

By: timmyg | Comments 2 Comments

A fair 1-1 result considering Fulham were without any striker on the bench and haven’t won at the JJB, or DW, or HSBC or CIA or whatever the hell acronym-named stadium Wigan calls home since 1992.
Roy “October Manager of the Month” sure caused many to scratch their heads by excluding Seol, EJ, Elm, or any [...]

Roma (and the Ref) in the Europa

By: timmyg | Comments 19 Comments

Stadio Olimpico translated into Spanish must mean Estadio Azteca because my lord that was the most comically biased game I’ve ever seen refereed.
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 the comments. And he’s spot [...]

Europa League Round 4 Preview

By: timmyg | Comments 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 [...]

Tabling Tables

By: timmyg | Comments 2 Comments

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, there are some notable exceptions. [...]

Loaner Report 11/2

By: timmyg | Comments No Comments

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. And according to Charlton’s offal:
Although technically recruited on a month’s loan from Fulham, England U19 international Omozusi is out of contract [...]

Fulham 3 Liverpool 1

By: timmyg | Comments 4 Comments

[Sorry about the delay in posting this -- it was Halloween yesterday after all...]
There was an odd sense of confidence heading into this match that normally doesn’t accompany visits from the Big Four.
Liverpool were having a terrible season up until last weekend when they defeated rivals United and Torres scored and although they were without [...]

Liverpool Preview

By: timmyg | Comments No Comments

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 be given a late fitness [...]

Loaner Report 10/26

By: timmyg | Comments No Comments

Adam Watts started and played 90 minutes in Lincoln City’s 0-0 draw with Torquay United on Saturday. Watts’ loan deal was set to expire at the end of October, but Imps manager Chris Sutton was able to extend the deal until January 2.
Fredrik Stoor started and played 61 minutes in Derby County’s 4-2 loss to [...]

City Away

By: timmyg | Comments No Comments

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 players: 164.9 million pounds (which [...]
