First up I have to say that I thought it was a great final and a wonderful advert for the Premiership. I thought it would be a drab affair, a bore draw with two teams that would be too nervy to go for the juggular. I was wrong, even though it was only a 1-1 draw after [...]

Schwarzer Signs for Fulham

From out of the blue Roy Hodgson has swooped to bring in Mark Schwarzer from Middlesbrough on a free transfer. It’s a very good bit of business in my opinion and even though the veteran keeper is now 35 he has been a consistent performer for Boro for a number of years. He commands the penalty area [...]

In the beggining…
The season started with a bang. Drawn away at Arsenal for our first fixture, we expected a defeat, but just moments into the game Healy found the net and we held that lead until the 86th minute when Arsenal scored. Then they scored again. We lost 2-1 in a game that we were holding the [...]

The Whites are staying up!
A great end to what has been the most nerve-racking of seasons. We’ve played some nice football to get ourselves out of this mess and credit to Hodgson he has got the team to win crucial games without playing boring long-ball or scrappy football.
Reflecting back on the game it was tight [...]

Who would have thought that 5 weeks ago after losing at home to Sunderland, Fulham would be in the position they are in going into the final round of fixtures? Not me. Not many Fulham fans, even those with the blindest of faith would have thought it could be turned round so dramatically.
But it has [...]

Fulham recorded their first back-to-back wins for 70 games and in the process made sure the clubs fate is in their own hands going into next weeks game against Portsmouth.
Fulham were worthy winners in a game they dominated. That’s not to say we were not threatened by Birmingham at certain times in the game, they had some [...]

This is the defining point of our season. This is the time for the players to stand up and be counted.
Last week’s victory over Manchester City was an amazing result for Fulham considering the position they were in with only 20 minutes remaining. To overhaul a 2-0 deficit and win really shows that Fulham have got [...]
