• Fav Four -- theresonlyonesteviemilton, Tuesday, February 09, 09:35:03am (88.17.245.47)
  
  I think it must be quite some time where we have been favourites for our next four games.
  
  4/5 at home to Burnley
  8/15 at home to Notts County
  6/4 at home to Shakhtar Donetsk
  11/10 at home to Birmingham
  
  14/1 to win all four
  
  Personally, I`m a layer. (ie. You can back these with me all day)

• Beckham -- Dean, Tuesday, February 09, 09:32:13am (84.201.189.217)
  See he was dropped at the weekend to the bench..
  
  Milan played 2 teams at the bottom when he joined which they won but have lost since, his performance against Inter was described as woeful in Italy..
  
  Likely to be on the bench against United next week..
  
  Capello has stated if you don't play you are not selected..
  
  Interesting..

Anyone who still thinks Teryy is a nice chap could look at that list from the Telegraph and say that there are allegations and charges that he was cleared of and there's no law against gambling...and that person would be right.

  Just had a look at the ticket section for sundays game , blimey , sit where you like in The Hammy End !
  This game will undoubtedly be our smallest gate of the season for what is our most important game of the season so far , so why the apathy ?
  2 wins from Wembley and I shouldnt think weve sold 10,000 tickets so far , bet everyone can make the next couple of games though !!

• Safety from relegation -- Mike H, Tuesday, February 09, 06:47:46am (210.50.95.12)
  Tony Gale was saying recently that he thinks 36 points will be enough to survive this year, as most of the bottom teams have to play a lot of games against each other.
  
  If so, a win tonight gives us 34, very close to point where we can relax a bit more, try a few youngsters, be a bit more attacking.

He, along with a lot of other managers, seems to have decided only crap or overrated players are available in January, lucky he didn't think that when he arrived. There's a weak point in his argument and that is saying something about achieving as much as we did last season, when I thought that was regarded, at board level anyway, as a quirk and actually substantially more than we really wanted.

  • Pretty sure this would not happen if they went into administration, they would lose 10 points but no one else would. The only way there could be a possibility of us losing our six points if the club were wound up and no longer existed, but even then it would become a 19 team Premier League and only two clubs would be relegated this season. So don't think it will have too much impact on us. (NT) -- JEA, Monday, February 08, 11:47:45pm (92.11.59.56)

Pompey have debt but also no spare cash to pay any bills. (NT) -- Harry68, Tuesday, February 09, 09:20:00am (82.43.194.66)
  • people should stop worrying (about us losing 6 points), there is no way that portsmouth would go out of existance before the end of the season now that the transfer window is shut. If the club were placed in administration the administrators have to do thier best to recoup as much of the debts as possible. This would be done by selling the club as a going concern or assett stripping it before shuting it down. As the biggest assetts of the club are probally its players contracts. These can now not be sold until the season is over so there is no way the administrators if appointed would shut the club down as it is not in the best intrests of the creditors for whom they act (NT) -- me, Tuesday, February 09, 01:11:11am (77.96.109.5)

• Yes please. -- theresonlyonesteviemilton, Monday, February 08, 11:21:59pm (88.8.161.174)
  sportinglife bettingzone preview for tomorrow:-
  Fulham v Burnley
  
  Brian Laws reckons Burnley can kick on now the monkey is off his back, but Fulham away is a really tough assignment for a team with a road record like they have. The Clarets have drawn one and lost 11 in 12 Premier League away games this term while Fulham have lost just three in the same period at Craven Cottage. Burnley will be encouraged by their win over West Ham, but in all honesty they were lucky to hang on to the three points and they won't get away with it if they allow Fulham to create as many chances. The problem for Fulham is their lack of firepower with Andy Johnson injured, and backers of the home side will be hoping Bobby Zamora recovers from the illness that kept him out of the 0-0 draw at Bolton on Saturday. However, Zamora or no Zamora, Fulham should simply have too much possession and create too much pressure in the final third for Burnley to handle. Unsurprisingly, the home win is a best-price 8/11 and it's just short enough to put us off. A better bet could be Fulham to win to nil, as Roy Hodgson's team have looked solid at the back recently, while Burnley haven't scored away from home in their last five. At 7/4 we'll have a dabble.
  
  Verdict: Fulham 2 Burnley 0

I remember seeing posters beneath the Stevenage Road stand encouraging people to make more noise because we were on the telly. Ahhh, happy days.

  • However, plans for another top-10 finish have been scuppered by a succession of injuries to key men which leaves Fulham down to the bare bones ahead of the visit of Burnley tomorrow night - Is it really too much to ask for Journo's to actually know what the words they use mean?

• Simon Davies to Right Back tomorrow night? -- pal, Monday, February 08, 09:33:43pm (81.141.145.239)
  Seems to me that our best CM pairing is Baird/Murphy, so should we put Simon at RB? Could look like this:
  
  .......BZ.......Okaka
  Duff...DM......CB....Riise(or Greening)
  Shorey...BH...AH....Simon Davies

  • Not so sure - see Roy's comments that the training time has been limited, and Okaka needs time to integrate into the team methods - especially as he doesn't speak english... (NT) -- Old Dave., Monday, February 08, 10:02:39pm (82.152.251.184)
  • Well it'll be Zamora & Nevland - with Okaka-Chuka & The Elm on the bench ..... & quite right, too. (NT) -- Fulham Reach, Monday, February 08, 10:50:32pm (86.13.18.10)

  • Its good to hear, if true. I dont think Mo has been too bad really with the money he has given us, its just a shame alot of it has been wasted. Cant blame him too much if he is more cautious then in previous windows. I think with say 5 quality additions, we can be a true 'top ten' club. Would cost maybe 20 - 25milion to get the required players in. With the Smalling money, plus a few out maybe Mo could give us the 15 mill required. Not too much in footballing terms I would say. (NT) -- The Babbler, Monday, February 08, 08:54:59pm (188.222.170.41)
    • 5 quality signings! Most clubs struggle to get even one quality signing. (NT) -- Mike, Monday, February 08, 09:07:22pm (80.239.242.221)
  • I posted the other day about the fact that all the financial activity is taking place this summer... Okaka, Greening, Smalling, Shorey, Kamara already likely deals. I suspect that Pascal Z. will leave the squad and Stockdale will become number 2, Stoor will depart as will Kallio. Assuming that Kelly remains back up RB, that will leave us with Baird as utility cover, and light up front (unless Elm becomes the messiah between now and the summer) (NT) -- 321p, Monday, February 08, 09:01:53pm (90.221.64.61)
    • Andranik will go. I could see Wayne Brown going. I also wouldn't be surprised to see Zamora go as well as one of Dickagoi/Etuhu. (NT) -- Mike, Monday, February 08, 09:15:08pm (80.239.242.221)

      • Could see Etuhu sold, not KG. We need to address our striking and right midfield options. Also a replacement for Murphy who shouldnt be starting next year. (NT) -- FFQ, Monday, February 08, 09:35:35pm (95.66.0.162)
    • Zubi won't go. He's a goalie coach for the youngsters too, and loves it at the club. (NT) -- Ian, Monday, February 08, 09:33:30pm (91.109.207.203)

    • That is very cynical of you sir ;0 ] (NT) -- Andy Sayers Personal Trainer, Monday, February 08, 09:46:54pm (60.240.61.84)
  • The usual pre-season ticket marketing jargon again. But its great Roy is admitting that most of the money he has spent has been recouped and only in part by selling smalling. Like I always said - the club makes decent cash. Those accountants are wonderfully skilled at making figures dance and sing. (NT) -- Done Deal, Monday, February 08, 09:48:03pm (93.96.34.197)
  • Ok maybe 'quality' is a relative term. I would class a player such as shorey 'quality' in terms of where we are as a team. So say he would cost 3-4 million (hopefully less). 5 players probably would be about 25 mill. I dont think we are that far off being a really decent side. The injurys have highlighted our lack of depth, but I dont blame anyone for this. It takes a few seasons to bring up the overall standard of the squad. Weve had a massive clear out the last few windows, so it will take some time to raise the bar so to speak. Ill post a topic about where we need to strengthen in the next few days...something to look foward to - not! (NT) -- The Babbler, Tuesday, February 09, 12:06:30am (188.222.170.41)

  how have shorey and okaka been performing? personally, i was thrilled when a mate texted saying we'd snapped up shorey on loan. always thought he was a good player.

• away record -- Spooner Row White, Monday, February 08, 04:37:37pm (213.52.216.196)
  I was having a look at the table today and despite us being known as the team who are rubbish away there are eight clubs with a similar or worse away record than us. Our away record as we all know has been frustrating for many seasons but maybe its time for the media to find someone else to criticise.

  • Yes, I noticed this earlier aswell. All clubs seem to be doing very well at home this year. I think the gripe is really the way that we approach away games rather then the actual results. (Both are p**s poor currently) (NT) -- The Babbler, Monday, February 08, 04:48:25pm (188.222.170.41)
    • Apart from not commiting our full backs enough, we seem to play a good 10 yards deeper away from home and now Dikgacoi who had licence and the engine to get up and down is out injured and we are left with Dickson who while should be capable of bombing it too, just sits in front of the two centre backs :P (NT) -- W@T, Monday, February 08, 04:55:36pm (91.104.3.15)
  • Until our recent run of 5 losses I felt we had been fairly ok away from. Granted we hardly ever win, but we do pick up more draws under Roy. Bolton on saturday was a great result considering the team we had out. The media just love to bang on about how bad it for some reason. Sunderland are worse than us surely and they've got some decent players. (NT) -- Neil G, Monday, February 08, 05:40:25pm (213.249.140.114)
  • My biggest gripe is the lack of change. (I hate 4-5-1) If we are going to play so deep that we end up always knocking it long, the it keeps coming back, why not go 4-5-1. 4-4-2 in the current set up, leaves our forwards always isolated. At least with 4-5-1, you can occasionally get 3 midfielders pushing up....but what do i know? I'm in finance and Sir Roy has managed internationally (NT) -- gj, Monday, February 08, 05:49:13pm (86.25.151.108)
    • I'm confused, are you saying that the solution to solving our isolated strikers is to get rid of one? If so, there is a reason you are in finance and have never managed internationally... (NT) -- Trick, Monday, February 08, 07:24:40pm (137.205.69.157)
      • I'm saying that the way Roy plays away, going for a 0-0, keeping the defence and midfield tight and stopping the full backs moving forward, leaves the forwards isolated. We tend to constantly surrender possession and give the imitative to the home side. If 0-0’s the plan, then why not put 5 in midfield to stem the tide. If we are lucky, we may even get a period that leaves a few midfielders in the last 3rd. Twice would be nice. I’m not a moaner, love Roy but we are so predictable and it doesn’t make a difference whose fit or who the oppo is. I watched Wolves earlier in the season. We had Zamora, AJ, Duff, Dempsey, Konch, Pantsil, Hangeland and we played exactly the same way as we did against Bolton. We had 0 shots in first half and only when we were chasing the game near the end did we attack. We had one shot on target all game and 2 missed. The one time away needing a win, the full backs weren’t as shackled. We scored 3 goals and it was one of my best ever games in 34 years. (NT) -- gj, Monday, February 08, 11:21:59pm (86.25.151.108)

• We can sleep easy tonight -- Lifer, Monday, February 08, 04:29:22pm (92.54.186.152)
  Bobby Zamora will return to Fulham's First Team fold on Tuesday night when the Whites take on Burnley (KO 8pm) at the Cottage after missing last weekend’s draw at Bolton through illness.
  
  There was further good news regarding midfielder Simon Davies, who has also recovered in time for Tuesday’s game, as Roy Hodgson explained on Monday afternoon.
  
  “Bobby’s fine and has recovered from his sickness,” said Hodgson. “He’s back in contention, as is Simon Davies, which is good.
  
  “That’s at least two of the injured players back tomorrow. To be fair I’ve not really counted Bobby when I’ve talked about the injured players because it was a sickness which kept him out of one game.
  
  “He [Zamora] doesn’t belong in the group of six or seven that we’ll have to do without for a long period.
  
  “We’ve barely got 18 players to be quite honest. There’s no longer a selection problem at this Club – it’s ‘have we got 18 players to field the eleven places and the sub spots'.
  
  “Until we get back to a situation when the squad starts to resemble a normal size and we start to get players back of the ability of Pantsil, Konchesky, Dempsey and Dikgacoi – it’s going to be difficult for us.”
  
  Competing on three fronts this season, married with the Club’s current injury crisis, is certainly testing Fulham’s First Team squad to the limits, as Hodgson explained on Monday.
  
  “We can’t ignore the fact that playing FA Cup matches, when other teams are out of the competition, and UEFA Europa League matches, when other teams aren’t playing, is placing a burden on our resources and the League matches that follow are that much more difficult for us.
  
  “Burnley's personnel is roughly the same and I would imagine they’re still playing the same type of football. I haven’t studied Burnley that much. That’s one of the major problems; with the games coming so thick and fast you don’t get the week to give the next opponent the amount of thought and attention you would like to.
  
  “Of course we’ve got our videos and scouting reports and we will prepare the Team as usual. Personally I don’t have the same feeling that I know Burnley as well as I would say know Arsenal or Manchester United if we were playing them come Tuesday.”

    • Roy is just managing his resources during this busy period. Probably makes little sense to rush Gera back when he has Davies available. Same goes for why I feel Roy benched Okaka on Saturday. Lets hope Bobby starts with Okaka Tuesday, then Elm and Gera on Saturday with Elm and Nevs bench options for both ties. (NT) -- W@T, Monday, February 08, 04:41:41pm (91.104.3.15)

    • Maybe its Roys age and family commitments, but while at Fulham Roy hasn't been one to spend his spare time mulling over the opposition. He leaves the scouting to someone else and concentrates on how we play. While not something I agree with it has worked so far so I say let Roy take his Wife to a restaurant in the evening and let another person do the away trips to Burnley :P (NT) -- W@T, Monday, February 08, 04:48:22pm (91.104.3.15)

    • It's an untypical remark by Roy, and makes me a little concerned - although it may have an element of bluff. I would expect Roy to prepare as throroughly as possible. He's known about the busy schedule for quiet a while!. Why does it concern me; well, last season I noticed an apparent trend that we had a poorer record on matches when Roy didn't have a full week between games.

• Different Class of Manager -- YP, Monday, February 08, 03:45:41pm (213.122.93.126)
  Anyone else here hate Arsene Whinger and are glad that we have someone with the class of RH. Just seen Roy on SSN and he was asked "Do you think that Rio Ferdinand is right for the Enland captaincy?" He replied "Yes, beacause Fabio Cappello says so". Totally p!ssed on the interviewer's chips.
  
  Compare that to Wenger who came out with some classics as to why Arsenal got beat again. Such as blaming Chelsh!t, because they didn't attack!!! and blaming the fixtures cos they have to play Man U, Chelsh!t & Plod in consecutive games. Ah diddums! Think the bloke has lost the plot myself.

  • No, I think Wenger is a great manager - and he has had a dose of reality recently. He said that they had defended some areas poorly - had totally outplayed the opposition but not scored.

  • Great manager, his ability to nurture real youth prospects into world talents is quite impressive. He has no grace, but I think it's more the fact he has firm belief in his players that he would rather blame it on someone else's fault for them losing the game other than his players - sometimes rightfully, mostly not. And they play the best football in the league when on form, that I admire (NT) -- JCKent, Monday, February 08, 04:42:31pm (81.137.198.165)
  • I fully agree that Wenger has absolutely no grace,and for me grace under fire is what it's all about.Call it the willingness and disinclination to reply to the invitation by the Sky bloke,which goes like this: "Well,Arsene (Sam - you name them),you've shipped 6 today.How bad was the ref?

  • He's the only 'real' manager in the top 4! The other three just go out and buy. He's dead right about Villa too. They may have been too good for us, but they are still an unimaginative side nowhere near good enough to win the Premiership and always 'found out' in Europe!

        • Easy to blame Fulham for leaving it to the l;ast minute, but the selling club have a role to play. They won't do a deal earlier because they might get more at the last minute from someone else. It's all brinksmanship which is probably why Beattie thought it worth upping his pay demands at the last minute (allegedly). So, sod him. Let's face it, Stoke are doing very well without him. Their fans don't think he's on the bench because of a row with Pulis. They think their other front players are better... and not so fat. (NT) -- mazza, Monday, February 08, 02:19:32pm (79.66.202.39)

              • Beattie is a notoriously high earner at Stoke, having been on Premiership wages when at Sheffield United. While I don't think he'd have been asking for 60k, it wouldn't surprise me if his wage demands did price him out of a move. (NT) -- FFC4Life, Monday, February 08, 04:15:30pm (81.111.103.93)
      • I'd say he's been fouled about as much as the rest of the team added together and I rarely see him moaning. I'd be going fcking mental if I got fouled as much as him. As I said the other night, when he came off he was holding his arm and looked like he was nearly in tears. If he is just playing through the pain barrier, he's a good lad! (NT) -- Jim©, Monday, February 08, 02:31:36pm (93.174.8.253)
        • Jim, he moans at the ref all game! Yeah if I got fouled as much as him i would go mental, put myself about, knock few of the opposition on the floor. Shame Bobby don't do that instead of concentrating on distancing himself from the fans! (NT) -- Gazza, Monday, February 08, 02:49:44pm (57.66.103.6)
          • Yeah, I'm sure that's the top of his agenda when he's on the pitch. Dear, dear me... (NT) -- Jim©, Monday, February 08, 03:12:11pm (93.174.8.253)
          • HA ha you mean it's a shame he doesn't get himself red -carded the whole time.That would help would it? (NT) -- alanos, Monday, February 08, 04:52:21pm (86.148.151.28)
            • Jim that alanos plum seems to stalk you in a loving, but patently obsessional way. Have you noticed? (NT) -- WayneKerrins, Monday, February 08, 05:31:06pm (194.178.124.236)
  • i honestly think zamora couldn't give a toss about fulham (NT) -- old fulham boy, Monday, February 08, 03:43:12pm (86.130.251.1)
    • He may or may not give a toss for the fans but by the way he's quite clearly playing in pain, he certainly gives a toss for his team mates, Roy and the club IMO. He could justifiably sit out the 7 or 8 weeks, get his money and not give a sh*t but he hasn't. (NT) -- Caught in possession, Monday, February 08, 03:54:53pm (81.142.120.89)

• yesterdays push -- leo, Monday, February 08, 01:39:27pm (81.152.98.238)
  Just watched the game from saturday ,and I think you will will agree with me if watched carefully,that when the free kick comes in Elmander gives a 2 handed push on Hughes ,clip straight after gives it away,Elmander doesn,t appear bothered that the goal was not given...just surprised that no one else seems to have seen this

  • Not sure what it was given for (and the pundits all assumed it was against the scorer) but wasn't Zat also fouling (holding) too? (NT) -- BRBB, Monday, February 08, 01:53:10pm (193.108.73.47)
  • Also Zat Knight had his arm around Smalling's neck in a headlock... It's about time Refs sorted out all the shenanigans that go on from corners and other set pieces... it's ruining the bloody game and is a cheat's charter as far as I'm concerned. (NT) -- Caught in possession, Monday, February 08, 01:53:35pm (81.142.120.89)
  • i said at the time i didnt think it was given against davies, the wistle went before he made contact with the ball im sure it was given against zat (NT) -- me, Monday, February 08, 01:58:12pm (149.254.51.26)
    • The ref clearly indicated that he had given it for a two handed push, so Elmander was probably the culprit. (NT) -- SS, Monday, February 08, 02:03:07pm (62.7.177.210)
  • The one thing I always think when I see Elmander playing is 'how the hell does this guy make a living playing football?'. He makes AJ look like Batistuta. (NT) -- South London White, Monday, February 08, 02:06:37pm (79.141.129.71)
  • that's what I posted at the time as well - it wasn't Davies who committed the foul, the push was by a different Notlob player on (I think) Hughes before the ball even got to Davies. -- HC, Monday, February 08, 02:25:52pm (80.194.194.72)
  • H.C. Clattenburg confirmed to Davies that he was the guilty party. I agree with you that Davies was blameless,so the goal should have stood. In the last two games we have been the recipient of two poor reffing decisions and got 4 points when we should have only got 1 point. Having said that with our current form i'll take anything on offer! (NT) -- >, Monday, February 08, 06:09:42pm (86.143.208.60)

• NFR but your viewswill hopefully help someone. -- Senor Cohen, Monday, February 08, 11:24:15am (86.21.231.134)
  Imagine you are going out on a work night out with 10 or more colleagues and you are planning to have a few bevvies. Would you be happy if a tee-total colleague came along for the evening? Secondly, how would you feel if that colleague was a manager or team leader? Please give reasons for your answers. thank you.

  • Not a problem.my experience is that the abstainers make their excuses (much like the NOW reporter) and depart,after a decent interval. (NT) -- thin white duke, Monday, February 08, 11:33:11am (62.140.196.148)
  • yeah wouldn't bother me (NT) -- oapb, Monday, February 08, 11:36:10am (149.254.57.78)
  • Only if said colleague was driving everyone else home. Depends on personality I suppose but always wary. My wife used to go on such informal work do's but in early days I didn't as I had been the manager and made them uncomfortable. However once I left the company then there was no such issue (NT) -- PRW, Monday, February 08, 11:36:31am (193.133.138.40)
  • Always take it easy at work events anyway. It's general nights out that piss me off. I don't want some silly muppet who won't drink telling me how boated I (and everybody else) was in the morning. Nights out are for drinking, not being a wetter. (NT) -- mr INAMOTOvator, Monday, February 08, 11:41:40am (62.244.185.135)
    • oh, forgot to add. HTFU. (NT) -- mr INAMOTOvator, Monday, February 08, 11:42:47am (62.244.185.135)
    • Yeah - and I find it REALLY annoying when you decide that you are going on a right booze up of a night out and the next day your mates phone you to say "God you were p*ssed last night" Yes I was, the idea was that we were on a p*ss up!! That was the whole point! (NT) -- Dk, Monday, February 08, 11:46:09am (217.154.84.166)
  • Depends on the personality of the manager. If I thought they had some kind of "hidden aganda" to gauge "their" team on a night out and weedle out any perceived "non-team-players" at work I might be a bit cautious of them...not because I'm not a team player but because I don't like slimey managers. (NT) -- Gearson, Monday, February 08, 11:44:23am (86.15.152.215)
    • "hidden agenda" not *aganda* . I'm not sure what an *aganda* is but it might be as well hidden. (NT) -- Gearson, Monday, February 08, 11:50:17am (86.15.152.215)
      • It would worry me if somebody was trying hide uganda. (NT) -- mr INAMOTOvator, Monday, February 08, 12:01:16pm (62.244.185.135)
  • It wouldn't bother me one bit provided he was a decent sort who wouldn't look down his nose at you when you start looking as though you've had a few too many. (NT) -- South London White, Monday, February 08, 11:49:20am (79.141.129.71)
  • And I might be a bit wary if he followed me into the gents if I was being sick and had my trousers round my ankles. No, I'm not happy about it at all...he's not welcome on the night out whenever it is. You've annoyed me now. (NT) -- Gearson, Monday, February 08, 12:02:26pm (86.15.152.215)
  • I can't see any problem, I'm assured that tee-totalism (?) isn't catching. Surely these days most nights out include some who can't drink because they have the driving responsibility, and it doesn't seem to spoil their's or anyone else's evening. (NT) -- Senior supporter, Monday, February 08, 12:04:48pm (62.7.177.210)
    • I've got no problem with teetotalism either. I'm no drinker. What I want to know is... who invited him anyway? It was our night out and now I don't feel like going. (NT) -- Gearson, Monday, February 08, 12:14:22pm (86.15.152.215)
  • Well working here in the City, I have to say I have never had the problem as I don't recall ever knowing anybody - least of all a manager - who was tee total !!! Or maybe thats just the kind of companies I'm drawn to ! (NT) -- GTS, Monday, February 08, 12:47:53pm (81.145.131.202)

  • you dont need one. If you google spotify free invite, the top link is by a site called zath.co.uk and they have the link to get round it. Cant copy and paste as on my phone, but it works, I used it a couple months ago. (NT) -- JCKent, Monday, February 08, 11:46:52am (213.52.216.196)
