FtF goes to West Ham

Going to West Ham is a reminder of what football should be like. A stadium right in the heart of the community, not on some souless industrial estate in the middle of nowhere, with thousands of people on the streets and the pubs and chippies packed out. Much like our own little corner of London. [...]

West Ham v Fulham: Player rankings

Here’s how I scored our lads following yesterday’s dismal display.
Schwarzer – 6/10
To be fair he didn’t have much chance with any of the goals but was unable to provide the heroics needed in the absence of anything resembling a defence.
Pantsil – 4/10
Oh dear. John may be a crowd favourite but he had a mare. His [...]

Woeful Fulham lose to West Ham

Maybe the sun was in their eyes. Maybe it was the two week break since the last match. Whatever it was that spooked our boys yesterday afternoon, the net result was one of the worst displays witnessed for months.
A catalogue of defensive errors, sloppy passing and woeful finishing (yes, you Bobby) meant we left the [...]

FtF goes to Pompey

I woke up yesterday morning in a terrible mood to be honest. I was totally convinced that we’d scrape a 1-1 draw at Portsmouth and Reading would trounce Derby, a result that would have sent us down to the Championship. This state of mind lasted throughout the two hour drive along the south coast…and for [...]

Post mortem: Reading v Fulham

A few assorted things, events, comments, that either happened or came to mind during the trip to the Madejski…
1. Amusing pre-match moment: The Reading fans proudly passing the flag over their head – but failing to notice it was upside down. We serenaded them with: You don’t know what you’re doing!2. The poor, tubby stewards [...]

Fulham win AWAY!!!

“Keep the Faith. FFC.” It was a simple message scrawled on the toilet wall at Reading’s Madejski Stadium, but it was enough to remind us that our season is not over…not yet at least.
This was a team that scrapped for every ball; refused to give in; and emerged worthy winners after 90 of the most [...]

FtF goes to Derby

Having a young family – and all that entails – means that away trips are a rare luxury these days, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
The team’s perilous league position makes it vital that as many fans as possible follow them on the road. So with that in mind we set the alarm for [...]

FtF goes to Stamford Bridge

Paul Konchesky’s family, autograph hunting, over zealous policing, falling over, losing a scarf and meeting Lawrie…it was certainly a day to remember.
Our annual pilgrimage to Stamford Bridge and what an eventful day! We arrived an hour before kick-off, starving hungry but looking forward to visiting the fish & chip outlet that dispenses good food, albeit [...]
