Apologies for the lack of posts this week. Our house is having major surgery which means I’ve been unable to get online as much as normal, and even more annoyingly, this is putting my trip to Derby in serious jeopardy. Aaarrrggh!
My ticket has been purchased, the seat has been booked on the coach from CC [...]

Facing Roy Keane on a football pitch must have been one of the scariest prospects imaginable. But how will coming up against his team compare? Well, our boys will find out later today when they travel to the Stadium of Light to take on Premier League ‘new boys’ Sunderland.
On paper it certainly doesn’t seem a [...]

Tomorrow is Judgment Day for Lawrie Sanchez. That might sound a bit dramatic considering it’s still only October but quite frankly our match against Derby is the most important game of the season so far.
It’s all very well getting the players stirred up to face Chelsea at the Bridge, but it’s making sure they’re in [...]

I’ve said it before virtually every match this season and I’ll say it again: tomorrow is going to be a very tough game. If we manage to get a 1-1 draw – which is my prediction – then that would be an achievement, even though we badly need to get some wins under our belt.

In the six encounters since we won promotion, we have drawn twice and lost on the other four [...]

Crystal ball time…..Right, how are we all feeling about tonight then? I’ve got a sneaky suspicion that it will be a fairly drab 1-1 affair, then we’ll run out 3-1 winners after extra time. Well, you’ve got to have confidence eh? I suggest (and this won’t be a surprise) that Volz comes in for Baird, [...]

We have also had a chat with Kevin Parker, general secretary of their supporters’ club which can be found here. ….Incidentally, tomorrow is also the first day of sales for The Fulham Review, the book written by the guys behind Craven Cottage Newsround. We’ll certainly be getting [...]

Well it’s almost time for our annual trek to Wigan. Let’s just hope this year’s visit proves to be a bit more fruitful than in the past.
Our record in the Premier League at the JJB consists of one 0-0 draw last season and a 1-0 defeat in 2005/06 due to Pascal Chimbonda’s injury time winner.
