Fulham Alumni Report

Club Brugge have earned three straight wins in their opening Champions League matches against Porto, Leverkusen, and Atletico. Not only that, but they have not conceded a single goal. A remarkable accomplishment that is even more remarkable when you realize Denis Odoi has played all 270 minutes at right back for Brugge.

 

Technically this doesn’t belong here since Jay Stansfield is only out on loan, but HD loved this thread and most certainly would’ve loved this amazing game winner from the 20 year old in his home debut for Birmingham. Forward to approx 6:15 mark. Great first touch and then a cracker.

 

Historic Europa Final, and Ademola Lookman scores a hat trick and Atalanta deals Bayern Leverkusen their first loss of the entire season. Lookman bounced around England Charlton, Everton, Fulham, and Leicester amongst others, but has found a home in Italy, and will forever be a club legend.

 

Except for his embarrassing PK attempt, I have fond memories of Lookman. Although it would have been fun to have seen Leverkusen go undefeated, I was really happy that Lookman put in a legendary performance. Just stunning that they hadn't let a team score three goals all season and then he manages a hat trick.

 

I'm off for the MLK Holiday. While flipping channels I came across some Saudi football. I had no idea anyone was broadcasting it. Rodak and Dembele are in the lineup.

 

Dan Burn achieved "Legendary" status among Newcastle players today. His header at the end of the first half gave Newcastle the lead against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final. Then he was awarded Player of the Match for leading is home team to their first domestic cup title in 70 years. This may have been the best week of his life since he also got his first call-up to the England squad too. Despite being a bit of a gangly oddball, I was disappointed he didn't stick with Fulham after relegation in 2014, but he's shown he can play with the best and I'm glad he's become a hero for the Toon Army.
