Fulham v Chelsea: Player rankings

Here’s how I saw our team yesterday. Click here for a match review.

Chelsea v Fulham: An opinion

In the hours since yesterday’s match at the Bridge ended I’ve been struggling to work out exactly how I feel. Am I elated that we performed well or disappointed that we failed to make the most of, arguably, our best ever chance of beating our nearest rivals on their own patch.
After watching the highlights – [...]

Interview: Chelsea bloggers

We caught up with the mysteriously named BC, who runs the Blue Champions blog and to Ash Kirby, the web consultant for Swindon Blues (I think some of the latter’s answers were tongue in cheek!) Our grateful thanks to both for their time.
Incidentally, to see a breakdown of our Premier League record at Stamford Bridge [...]

Preview: Chelsea v Fulham

On paper it certainly doesn’t look much of a contest. Chelsea’s multi-million pound superstars of world football against our battling side which has been put together for a fraction of the cost, but there are some factors which could swing the advantage in our favour.
Firstly is the upheaval that’s happened in recent weeks with the [...]

Our record at Stamford Bridge

As part of our pre-match coverage, we have gone through the record books to analyse our record at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League…Although most of the games were superb, the statistics don’t exactly make for pleasant reading.
In the six encounters since we won promotion, we have drawn twice and lost on the other four [...]

Just one day to go…

…before what I always consider to be THE match of the season and I’m so excited I can hardly concentrate on anything! Any Fulham fan who hasn’t sampled the atmosphere in the away end at Stamford Bridge has really missed out as it’s far and away better than anything you’ll experience at Old Trafford, the [...]

Fulham v Arsenal UPDATES

First-half summary: Big Jim Stannard was a no-show so Dave Beasant has replaced him and pulled off two fantastic saves – including one from Big Brother, er ’star’, Ziggy…That was a sentence i never thought i’d write. Rufus Brevett looks superb – maybe we can get him in the line-up for Saturday? Example (he’s a [...]

Newspaper round-up: Fulham v Bolton

Here’s how the daily newspapers saw our exit from the cup last night, along with links to the relevant articles.
If there is one thing that angers Lawrie Sanchez it is bad refereeing decisions, wrote Dean Jones in The Times, and the Fulham manager had plenty to complain about last night. A goal from Stelios Giannakopoulos [...]

Misery at the Cottage

I am really struggling to put a brave face on things this morning. Out of a cup again before the tournament has even really got underway. Depressing, annoying and irritatingly predictable. I was unable to attend last night’s game due to other commitments, a fact I was depressed about until I received a text informing [...]
