hello, can't believe your here

greetings,

just discovered this site after reading a rather downtrodden article on soccernet about fulhams chances this year in the premiership. This site is great, up until last year fulham was not on my radar, but I was going to london in march and wanted to see a premiership game, any game. it just so happened that I was near and could get tickets to a fulham charlton game. Even though the game was 0-0, i had a great time. compared to soccer in america the fan support was incredible. Since then I have become a fulham fan. it's nice to find a place in the US where there is other fulham fans.

Mike,
Welcome to FulhamUSA! I was the author of that "downtrodden" Fulham article. After watching the first two matches, and the preseason matches in Columbus, that is how I see the club right now.

Regardless, I was at the Charlton match as well. It was my first time at the Cottage. It was a great atmosphere and I had a blast.

WOW, small world, I had flown in the same day of that match on an overnight flight from newark,NJ my poor wife fell asleep during the game. I sat in the neutral area right where the players come out from under the cottage. The only thing I thought weird was the poor girls that danced at halftime, did not really expect to see that at a soccer game, but hey I guess US football and Basketball do not have exclusive rights to bad halftime shows. I agree with your article, i think the team will need to find some desire to win more than anything else, on paper they are much better than the effort they are putting out on the pitch. How did you get the gig to right for soccernet or are you a sports writer by trade?

Re: RE: Re: hello, can

I have been in touch with some people at Soccernet in the last year and they were looking for someone to write about Fulham and I stepped right in.

While I could write all simple previews and such all the time, I like to voice my opinions, whether good or bad, on Soccernet. I will not cover up the truth and I will always tell it like it is to Fulham supporters. People may agree or disagree with me on things, but I have a good time with it.
