Rayo Vallecano, the Baltimore Orioles, and Clint Dempsey
You may have missed it amid all the hoopla in Manchester and our own hand-wringing over Clint Dempsey’s absence and subsequent future, but Madrid was really the place to be … Continue reading →
The season by the numbers
So, just how did Fulham finish ninth, their first ever back-to-back top 10 finish in the top flight? Chances were, if we were winning at half, we’d win the game. … Continue reading →
Counting out Time
Welp, just over one week left. Two match days remaining. The 2011-12 Season carriage will soon turn into a pumpkin at the stroke of 5pm GMT Sunday, May 13. How do you see things shaking out? After using the BBC’s pretty darn cool predictor, I see us splitting our remaining two matches to finish a...
Fulham 1-0 Liverpool: The View From South Texas
(Rich’s report was eaten by the internet, so here’s the next best thing: HatterDon’s View From South Texas) Historic Victory for Fulham At Uninspired Liverpool Ho-hum, yet another double by the Mighty Whites. There’s a point to be made that Liverpool purposely fielded a weakened XI against Fulham Tuesday evening, since they have the...
Aston Villa
Not to take away from Rich’s most recent post, but lost among Chelsea’s guerrilla tactics on Tuesday was the fact Aston Villa choked a lead away and lost, at home, to relegation candidates Bolton. So, with three games left, Aston Villa are just three points above the drop. And if Mark Schwarzer’s parry hadn’t fallen to the feet of...
No Dempsey, Again
Hey look kids, Clint Dempsey is not in the PFA Team of the Year! That’s right, the player that’s tied for 4th in the league for goals and isn’t even a striker! And is responsible for nearly 50% of Fulham’s entire offensive output! The same team that is tied for the least amount of away...
PFA Player of the First Few Months Award
Awards that are not based on statistics or anything that’s actually measurable are hogwash. And so we turn to the PFA Player of the Year shortlist. Which doesn’t include Clint Dempsey. Or Grant Holt. Or any player that is carrying an entire team on their back. But does include three City players (including the goalie), Arsenal’s...
Ruiz Out for the Season
Yesterday’s news, but still worth a post. Per the official: Following an injury sustained against Bolton Wanderers on Saturday 7th April, the Club can report that Bryan Ruiz sustained a fracture in the 5th metatarsal in his foot. A small operational procedure has taken place to repair the damage, and the Sports Science team advise a...
Fulham 1-1 Chelsea
In a match where it was beyond evident both teams played just two days earlier (with us the only one actually having to travel), Chelsea mustered three shots on target. I don’t recall any of them. Nonetheless some late dramatics were required from Clint Dempsey and Peter Cech to ensure both sides walked away with a...
Shut up about our road form
There’s a stat going around the interwebs that states our (mighty) 8 goals scored on the road is the worst in the entire Football League. And as a result, we’re 18th in the away table. But here’s another stat for you: we’re somehow tied for fifth best in the EPL on away goals conceded with...
