Johnson Double Helps Fulham Win at Hillsborough
77 Reads
 
 
FFC Official news

Fulham got Saturday's Third Round FA Cup tie at Hillsborough underway but it was the home side that should have taken the lead after just two minutes of play. Fredrik Stoor, making his first start for the Whites, was dispossessed by Boden on the left hand side of the area. The midfielder skipped to the byline and crossed to Jermaine Johnson who forced Schwarzer into a fine save with a low drive from 12 yards.

Wednesday were left to rue their missed opportunity when Andy Johnson latched onto Danny Murphy's superb through ball to give Fulham the lead after 10 minutes of play. After a good phase of patient build up play Murphy sent a perfectly weighted through ball into the area. Johnson spun his marker before firing a right footed shot past keeper Grant from eight yards to give Fulham the lead.

Fulham Outclass Chelsea with Late Equalizer
252 Reads
 
 
FFC Official news

A dramatic late equaliser from Clint Dempsey secured a share of the points in the West London Derby. Dempsey had given Fulham the lead in the first half but two goals from Frank Lampard after the break looked to have ended Fulham’s chances of taking anything from the game. But Dempsey ensured the draw when he rose at the back post to head home Simon Davies’ late corner.

Dickson Etuhu replaced the injured Jimmy Bullard in the centre of Fulham’s midfield as the Whites looked to build upon the point gained at White Hart Lane on Boxing Day.

Fulham got the match underway backed by vociferous support. Often playing with five players stretched out across the midfield area, Chelsea were clearly trying to widen the play and tempt Fulham out of position.

Fulham Take another Point Off Spurs - Now 8 Unbeaten
196 Reads
 
 
FFC Official news

Fulham's outstanding defensive record continued on Boxing Day with a nil-nil draw at White Hart Lane. Roy Hodgson's side got Friday's fixture at White Hart Lane underway and it was Mark Schwarzer and Heurelho Gomes who were the outstanding performers during the first half.

Schwarzer produced one of the saves of the season to deny Aaron Lennon shot from close range before the half hour mark whilst Gomes kept out a Clint Dempsey's overhead kick which would have been a contender for Goal of the Season.

Spurs looked to utilise the pace and guile of Lennon and Bentley down the flanks during the early stages but Fulham's back four were well protected by Hodgson's midfield quartet, led by the impressive Danny Murphy. Fulham's captain set the tone early on; winning his fifty-fifty's in the middle of the park whilst calmly directing proceedings with his intelligent distribution.

'Twas the night before Christmas -- Fulham style
195 Reads
 
 
Editorial section

Twas the week before Christmas, and inside the Cottage
Woy Hodgson spoke up and was dropping the knowledge.

The strips were all hung in the locker room with care
In hope that some victories soon would be there.

Big Tex did a rap song, but Konchesky in fact,
Went into the loo to take a big crap.

The ball boy was wearing a Harrod’s gown and cap
And looked like he’d woken up from a hung-over nap.

When out on the pitch there arose such a clatter,
I put down my pint to see what was the matter.

Away to the Hammy end I flew in a flash,
Jumped through the gates and then fell on my ass.

When, when to my wondering ears should appear,
But the Blawhiarmy. AND THEY HAD NO FEAR!!!

More rapid than Davies, their chants and songs flew
They sang and they cheered, and John Terry they booed.

They shouted, “Go Schwartzer! Go Murphy! Go Johnson!
Go Z-man! Go Hughes! Go Pantsil and Hangeland!

“To the top of the box, get those crosses in all!
Now crash their defenses, crash away all!!”

With Boro up next and away at Spurs soon,
The year is going well. Let’s shoot for the moon!

Our lads are a great sight! Soon we’ll be flying!
Not like Old Man Wenger, moaning, and crying

Or Ronaldo’s damn diving, or West Ham’s damn cheating
Or their 30 million pound fine. That bears repeating!

Or Fat Frank’s round face and little round belly
That shakes when he waddles like a bowl full of jelly.

Roy ran to the touchline and gave us a sign
And said “We can do this. It’s our team, our time.”

I heard the team exclaim, without rhyme or reason,
Merry Christmas everyone! Let’s have a kick-ass season!!!

Statistical Spelunking with Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
171 Reads
 
 
FFC Match Previews

We have reached the point in the season where statistics can begin to give us an indication of how teams are going to play in a given match under given circumstances.

Statistics obviously can’t tell us who is going to win or lose and they can’t tell us which squad or player is going to under or overachieve in a given match. They are merely measurements of how a team has performed over a historical period and they admittedly mean absolutely nothing after the ball is kicked in anger. They are often misapplied, taken out of context and more than occasionally twisted to the user’s point of view.

However, even given the above caveats, I find them to be interesting as a guide to the tendencies that teams have gravitated toward and an overall barometer of what we can expect to see in an upcoming match. Having bent your ear far too long without saying anything let’s delve into what the statistics forecast for both Fulham and Tottenham at White Hart Lane this Friday.

Midfield Trio Brush Boro Aside
203 Reads
 
 
FFC Official news

Fulham got Saturday's Barclays Premier League fixture against Middlesbrough underway inside a packed out Craven Cottage. Roy Hodgson retained the same eleven that earned a point against Stoke last weekend with Clint Dempsey partnering Andy Johnson in attack.

The first shot on goal came from Boro after five minutes of play. It was Tuncay Sanli, playing behind Aliadiere in attack, who found space behind Fulham's midfield to collect the ball and charge towards goal. On reaching the 18-yard line Sanli unleashed a right-footed shot. Despite a deflection on route Schwarzer was well positioned to collect with ease.

Following Sanli's effort Fulham took control of the game and began to dominate possession. However during the early stages of the game the Whites failed to find find a killer pass in the final third and the first clear cut chance that fell Fulham's way came after 19 minutes of play. Andy Johnson earned the Whites a corner after his right-footed shot on goal was deflected wide and from Konchesky's corner Pantsil, unmarked on the far post, missed a glorious chance to head home.

Fulham v. Boro, 20 Dec
175 Reads
 
 
FFC Match Previews

Fulham welcomes Middlesbrough to the Cottage this weekend. In their last 6 games, Boro has obtained 6 points, getting one win, three draws, and two losses. Fulham is riding an undefeated streak of six games. The flip side to this is the Ws also have a streak of 4 draws, which is starting to become disappointing. While the relegation monster is not breathing foul stenches right in our face like last year, he cannot be disregarded either.

Last year’s Boro fixture at the Cottage was won by the visitors, 2 to 1. That was the infamous game where Fulham equalized with a goal in injury time that was never awarded. Thanks for nothing, Schwartzer. All is not forgiven, you can come clean on that one any day now!

The 'Heads-Up' Side of the Coin

 'Page 2' - By and For FulhamUSA Members

As we Fulham fans enter the time for celebrating Christmas we have much to be thankful for so far this season. As the calendar year comes to a close I have been reflecting on my second season of being a Fulham fan in contrast to my experience and as a newly minted, raw and inexperienced Fulham fan last season. Contrast is the best word I could find to describe the first half of each season as I examined the facets of the gems of our Premier League seasons.

Six Unbeaten - Fulham Draw at Stoke
184 Reads
 
 
FFC Official news

Roy Hodgson was forced to reshuffle his starting eleven for Saturday's clash at the Britannia Stadium after Bobby Zamora was ruled out with a hip injury. Clint Dempsey moved into attack alongside Andy Johnson and Zoltan Gera returned to the starting line up at right midfield.

The first half was a bruising encounter and after just five minutes of play the game was brought to a lengthy halt when Sidibe went down following an innocuous tussle with Brede Hangeland in the area. Sidibe's injury was serious enough for the striker to be stretchered from the field of play. Tony Pulis had no option but to introduce Richard Cresswell alongside Ricardo Fuller in attack.

Fulham tamed Stoke's early offensive and the home side's frustration was highlighted after ten minutes of play when Ricardo Fuller was booked by Stewart Atwell following a reckless tackle on Brede Hangeland.

Fuller produced the first shot of the game after 15 minutes of play, a speculative 30 yard drive which sailed high over Schwarzer's cross bar. Two minutes later Fulham's traveling army of supporters were appealing out for a penalty when Johnson went down in the area in front of the away end. Johnson's run across the area was checked by Andy Wilkinson but the decision went in Stoke's favour.

Fulham Couldn't Break the Deadlock Versus City
216 Reads
 
 
FFC Official news

A first half equaliser from Jimmy Bullard cancelled out Benjani’s opening strike for City as both sides played out a tight draw at Craven Cottage.

City took an early lead when Pablo Zabaleta was able to find space down the right flank to cross for Benjani who rose highest in the area to head past Mark Schwarzer from six yards.

Fulham were experiencing some early difficulties in adjusting to the pace of the game and City were certainly doing a good job of stopping the Whites from building their passing moves. City were looking like the team with all the attacking ideas in the opening minutes and Benjani found himself on the receiving end of a knee to the side of the head after getting into another dangerous position.

What a difference a year makes
308 Reads
 
 
Editorial section

In the last two weeks Our Beloved Whites have scored a total of zero goals and picked up a total of two points. Not a bad haul for a road trip to Anfield and Villa Park.

In October 2007, in back to back games, Fulham drew against Derby 0-0 and at Sunderland 1-1. Shows how funny a game this soccer is, because those results were as ugly as Tony Adams after a long night.

What a difference a year makes.

I see a few wins coming up in the future away from Craven Cottage. The team is playing too well to keep a bagel in the W column for too long. I even think we have played well enough in the last month to be a little disappointed by only getting 2 points, although after the last few years I won’t throw them away.

FFC Match Previews

This Saturday Fulham head to Villa Park to take on an in-form Villains squad who are fresh off a hard fought draw with Manchester United; an impressive result that showed just how seriously Villa are pursuing a place in the top four. They weren’t the only team to finish last weekend with a hard fought draw though; as Fulham fans saw their Whites earn a well deserved point at Anfield. Roy Hodgeson’s side showed poise and heart against a Liverpool side that were top of the table going into the match.

FanBlog: Third-of-Season Awards
269 Reads
 
 
 'Page 2' - By and For FulhamUSA Members

Awards are usually given at the end of the season, or halfway for comical purposes. I’m going to buck that trend and give third-of-season awards:

The “Like a Rock” Bob Seger Award – Brede Hangeland
The pairing of Aaron Hughes and Brede Hangeland in central defense has been the biggest impact of the memorable Roy Hodgson era. But whereas Hughes is susceptible in the air, Hangeland is like the cookie monster – devouring all crosses, chips, flicks, and anything else within a 2 foot radius of his noggin.

Although the quality shown by Hughes, Paintsil and Konchesky has helped make Fulham’s defense 4th best in the league, it all stems from the Norwegian. Even if we were to somehow halve his productivity in defense, the club would be light-years ahead of where we’ve been defensively. Without a doubt, the team’s MVP.

Fulham Hold a Quiet KOP to a Deserved Draw

FFC Official news

Liverpool got Saturday's match underway in front of a full to capacity crowd at Anfield. Fulham impressed in the opening exchanges with their fluid passing play and were evidently full of confidence following back-to-back victories over Newcastle and Tottenham.

The first half was a fine footballing spectacle between two cultured teams and Fulham dominated possession early on. However it was the home side that created the first clear-cut chance of the game after four minutes of play.

>A superb 40-yard cross-field ball by Agger from the half way line found Arbeloa on the right flank. Racing to the by-line the defender pulled the ball back to Kuyt but fortunately for Fulham the Dutchman failed to find his range inside the area and pulled his drive from 12 yards wide of Schwarzer's far post.

Davies Looks Forward to Anfield Trip

FFC Official news

As Roy Hodgson's squad reconvened at Motspur Park on Thursday afternoon Simon Davies paid tribute to the effort and work rate which has seen Fulham record consecutive home wins at the Cottage against Newcastle and Tottenham Hotspur.

“It’s good that we’re maintaining our home form," Davies explained. "Last year our home form wasn’t good enough and it put us in trouble and we were very lucky to get out of it in the end. It’s something that we really wanted to work on and so far this season we’ve had some great results at the Cottage.

“Everyone worked really hard last weekend and it was a good performance throughout the team. That’s the effort you’ve got to put in to get a result against a team like Tottenham."
