RONG

I hope so, but it's not looking great imo

hope they dont go down either but they need someone to replace zamora. is dembele injured or just not playing well? he hasnt scored in a long time iirc.

mexican keeper ochoa currently on trial with fulham, so maybe they will sell schwarzer after all?

Schwarzer just signed a two-year contract so.. I dunno, the world of PL contracts is kinda beyond me, seems like they don't actually mean a whole lot?

Dembele's injured.

AFAICT they've not played well just once or twice. If not for Nasri pulling a goal right out of thin air last weekend they would have got a point at least off the league leaders.

posted somewhere else but this is the thread it's always needed to be in

hahahahaha

is that eddie johnson on the left? nice earring, stud

contracts basically exist so that if anyone wants your players they have to pay for them rather than you letting them go as a free agent.

Pretty good piece on Carlos Salcido, wish they'd asked him something about playing with Dempsey.

What a great story

Guy is a LEGEND on FM10!

drawing at home to sunderland... jesus. this is some kind of rock bottom. games won in 2010 = 2

that's gotta be some repressive tolerance wrt mark huges amirite

/hughes/

not all that huge despite lol big man rep

wiki sez 5'10, he'd get killed by big danny shittu

trying to get Donovan on loan I see

yikes

yikes indeed

duff comes on as a sub and makes zero impact, to cap off a rotten year so far for irish players....

finally!!! the thing is, we've played just this way - better, even - and come away with nothing. so many times.

two cracking goals

By the way, have I said "woo" here yet? Here it is.

WOOOOO

fulham were the DULLEST team i have watched in forever last night, even if they did score and etuhu was sweet for the goal.

seriously, i couldn't even pretend to care.

duff had a nice touch and snapshot and hughes had this look of 'that was too exciting and for that you will die' on his face

loool

fwiw i didn't think the first half was dull at all, this is an aggressive team

Andy Johnson levels in the 85th minute! BOO yeah

Set up by a nice probing run from Dempsey

and just wide from the big Norwegian

was standing about 40 feet away when my man clint put it in the back of the net this saturday

good first half, ropey second half

andy johnson is all kinds of trouble on the right side

duff with some incisive play

we really do play tidy football (errr... against stoke)

nice to see stockdale have another excellent game though he didn't have much to do to be fair

not terribly au fait with sidwell the gingah, he got a lot of applause though

paintsil ("pantsil"? his shirt said "pa nstsil") wasn't as terrible as i thought he would be

all in all a VERY GOOD AND NEEDED result

sorry, shirt said "pa ntsil"

Clint's touch before being taken out for the penalty was one beautiful thing (for a cheating, clever foreigner, according to Pulis)

it was down the other end so i couldn't see it but he had been getting HOUSED all game with nothing called so the penalty really was karmic imo

'to house' - I can only imagine

somehow clint always ends up in the middle of the other teams cleats and elbows, i'm not sure how he does it

have encountered 'cleats' before but it never fails to tickle me

it don't tickle, son

what do you guys say, spikes?

or probably something like "hobgrommets"

they say studs, which might tickle some

then what is a cleat? something you tie boat lines to?

yes?

cleating foreigners

hmm well c&p

<3 tracer on this thread. makes me almost want to watch fulham again. but no. maybe when they play le arse again or its a big cup tie or something. but no.

well they're fucking up against it for the next month or so. this run of form couldn't have come at a better time because they're going to need all the confidence they can get. hoping bobby z comes back in time for valentine's day

Would be disappointed with anything less than 9 points and a place in the next round from that tbh

i think we can beat newcastle and villa - if the stars align - but not sure about the rest

I dunno, Hodgson's win against Wolves may have just been a lucky bounce for a dead kitten

Chelsea still looking shaky although by then they should be back steamrolling teams.

pants

do fulham have a clint dempsey song yet?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GT1Ph0HRIq4

When Tracer said Clint was getting HOUSED, I assumed some kind of remix was in the pipeline

oh hai

This is going nicely isn't it?

Look after Kakuta.

We don't play Wolves again til April

paintsil the only man capable of getting the ball past our keepers at the moment

spoke too soon

how the FUCK did that go in

playin bad imo

Getting quite a lot of late goals these days, a good sign imo

no that's true, we r a v "positive" side under hughes - we just couldn't hang onto the ball today really

also villa's given up more goals in the last quarter hour than any EPL side this season I think?

Arsenal must be pushing them close now.

sidwell v impressive I thought.

dempsey w/ 9 goals ties mcbride's single season record iirc

oops, no, he's 1 behind

bobby z on the verge:

The Cult of Clint

Oh Clint. What a finish though!

yeah that was... something

Was never a penalty anyway, from what I could tell.

crap

Fulham boys gettin testy!

I love how much Hughes' heart is in it, and I love Clint's don't-fuck-w-me homeboy demeanor

People talk about how this is an "off" season for the EPL but the middlers and bottom feeders are almost all capable of big wins and terrific play, i.e. I've never been sold on West Ham or Everton being actually bad. I think they're both pretty good and have just had some shit luck this season. I think Fulham's the same. They'll be undone by a Nasri but anyone will be. Otherwise I think they can play with virtually anybody.

(Especially when the opposition play as poorly as Man City, it must be said; I had no idea they depended on Silva that much)

Opta stats show Fulham have converted just 10% of shots into goals this season - the lowest figure in the Premier League.

Bobby Z. Stats are nothing to him.

shambolic game - thought we were lucky to come away with the win, tbh. but yes - it is sweet to see bobby z back on the field. i like the way he and duff tuck their shirts in. it's kind of rare, isn't it?

also, that's the first time i've ever seen a red card given after the final whistle. pretty weird!

congratulations on your michael jackson statue

wtf

oh my god

i really am stuck with this team for life now aren't i

It strikes me there is a possibility you will outlast them

but then where will the statue go??

etuhu comin back

hughes to manage bayern?

If Bayern do decide to approach Fulham over Hughes, 47, it would be a bold move by the club and would also be tempting for the highly-ambitious manager

Telegraph sticking its neck out there

is this the curse of Michael Jackson?

Clint Dempsey first American to score 10 goals in a Premier League season btw

it's on the other thread but soon to be lost to the fold and needs to be enshrined here
http://i51.tinypic.com/nzh85s.jpg

*shudder*

I mean, it doesn't even look like him. And what is that pose??? It's like.. what t f were you thinking?

Oh btw: Fulham are a top 10 club

Perhaps MJ has sprinkled his "fairy dust" on them

If I were a Fulham fan I'd work out new and disparaging words to an MJ song and make it about Fayed.

fayed looks like he's trying to beat us to the punch -

Fulham chairman Mohammed Al Fayed has told fans they can "go to hell" if they do not appreciate a new Michael Jackson statue at Craven Cottage stadium.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-12950708

That quote in full:

"If some stupid fans don't understand and appreciate such a gift this guy gave to the world they can go to hell. I don't want them to be fans. If they don't understand and don't believe in things I believe in they can go to Chelsea, they can go to anywhere else."

I like the quotes from Symons and Hangeland expressing total, unconditional agreement with him

i love how he considers chelsea the natural defection side for fulham fans

While I think it is a fair enough idea, although a little strange, the statue doesn't even look like Michael Jackson. Paul Murray, Aberdeen

i mean this is it, really. i doubt people would really care if it were a really well executed bronze or something. but it's such total hackwork, like something a first-year student would make with unlimited time and money. which almost makes it better in a way. i mean good god. look at the fucking musical NOTES around the base of it. you know, cause he made MUSIC. i'm surprised you can't wind it up to make it spin very slowly and play a MIDI version of dirty diana.

I think it may be the worst statue in London. That's something to be proud of, surely?

People will queue to come and visit it from all over the UK

I think he's getting a bit too hopeful here, but you've got to applaud the project surely? Top attitude too, I'd be tempted to give him a no.4 jersey and try him in defensive midfield.

If they don't understand and don't believe in things I believe in they can go to Chelsea

trying to formulate an Elvis Costello joke here and it's not quite happening

fulham have the same goal difference as tottenham hotspur, fact fans

nothing to be proud of.

congrats to clint dempsey, though, fulham's all time premier league goal scorer

looking at the higlights of liverpool v fulham. when did schwarzer get so shit?! he should have stopped 4 out of 5 of those goals.

CARACAS, May 16 (Reuters) - Zamora won their first league title for 34 years with a 1-0 win away to Caracas FC to finish top of the Venezuelan Clausura championship at the weekend.
Zamora, who overcame financial difficulties including unpaid players' wages with their successful Clausura campaign, have qualified for the Libertadores Cup, South America's top club competition, for the first time

Good omen.

looking at the higlights of liverpool v fulham. when did schwarzer get so shit?! he should have stopped 4 out of 5 of those goals.

he's seemed really erratic to me this season. like, mostly unstoppable and then he has days where he makes unbelievably stupid decisions.

this turned out to be a pretty great season. hard not to wonder how things would have gone if zamora and johnson had both been fit at the start.

kinda wonder if gera got that red card deliberately, so that fulham didn't have to do europa (or if hughes even ordered him to do it, which i wouldn't put past the dude)
