Fulham USA: US Supporters club of Fulham FC

Before I get to the post, a word of thanks to our website sponsors in the Fall - @SoCalJoe and @sacffc ! We appreciate you keeping the servers humming and delivering up a couple months of good news for Fulham!

Fulham has enjoyed a successful Fall and sits happily well inside the top half of the table. But on the horizon a time of challenge lies ahead. December holds seven matches in 29 days for Fulham. Matches that include all four teams that sit above Fulham that they haven't played yet - Brighton, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool. And then two matches against teams currently within three points of Fulham - Tottenham and Bournemouth. December will be a true measure of Fulham and the kind of team they are.

Once December wraps up, Fulham will be at the half-way point of the season. If things go well for Fulham and they get points against some of the teams currently above them there will be serious talk of qualifying for Europe. If things go badly and...

I have to kick March off with a big apology for not recognizing our sponsors over the last few months. A job change for me combined with some international travel kept me distracted from the most important thing in life - Fulham!

So, please give a big thanks to @sacffc for sponsoring November, @astroevan for December and January, and @pettyfog for February and March! Despite my negligence over the past few months, your support is greatly appreciated! Thanks for keeping the servers humming.

Fulham enters March in a pretty comfortable position with safety all but assured. Fulham is just six points away from 38 points - which is typically enough for safety. With 12 matches remaining, that should be easy to reach. Fulham are also well off the pace for any European spots so it looks like another mid-table finish for Fulham although likely a few spots lower than last season. My personal hope for Fulham is to finish above both Brentford...

While waiting for Fulham to return after the international break, let's do a look at where things stand. But first, a big thank you to October's (and November's) site sponsor - @sacffc ! Thanks for keeping the servers running for FulhamUSA!

After 8 matches Fulham has the same record as last season - 3 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses. Yet somehow, things don't seem as good at this point as last season. I think some of it has to do with expectations. After the prior three Premier League seasons ended in relegation, no one expected much from Fulham last season. But a confident opening day draw against Liverpool made a statement that was followed by big wins against Brentford and Brighton along with some tight losses to Arsenal and Tottenham. At this point last season it was clear things would be different.

While the records are the same, the results have not been as convincing this season. A fortunate win against Everton, beatings at the hands of Manchester City and...
