Fulham FC - OS Fans Unite - COYW!

FULHAM FC

Brian McBride got me watching this London Club years ago, then of course my favorite player of all-time, Clint Dempsey, joined not long after.

Fulham is still a good ground for American players, and while they're in the Championship right now, the club is on the UP. Regardless, this is my club.

If you're a Fulham Fan, or not, join in on the discussion!

Just a little bit under a year later, I'll put in another post.

Today's first match of the season is on ESPN3! We are playing Norwich City...

Kick off is set for 9 AM CST.

I'm interested to see how Oliver Norwood plays in place of Kevin McDonald. From seeing some video, he could be an interesting player to watch. McDonald kept things very simple for us last year, and was a work-horse. Hoping Norwood does the same, maybe a little touch of class here and there.

Not a good draw today. They definitely left a couple goals on the field and controlled a good portion of the game, but they clearly have enough talent to challenge for a promotion this campaign.

I felt the subs really took some steam out of their control, but they'll get in a rhythm moving forward. I'm glad I got to watch their first match on ESPN3.

Yes, not a good draw at all. It could've finished 5-3...let's be honest...Norwich should've scored in their attempts...that was poor.

This is how it was last year though. We play such sexy football, but we get into funks where we take chances for granted.

Oh well, it's the first match of the season. I think Norwood was a suitable backup to McDonald, but I still want K-Mac in there. Kebano had moments of brilliance then moments...of what I call..."Pantsil moments"...which just loses his head.

If you haven't already, join FFCTV. They have annual plans that will be announced next week, that will show LIVE matches. I can't wait already.

Always a soft spot for Fulhamerica.

Don't think any other English club comes close in terms of sheer number of American players they've fielded.

Nope, that's what had always drew me to the club. As you know I have a man crush on Deuce, but was a fan of Fulham's signing of McBride and Bocanegra back then.

They are improving the quality/functionality of the FulhamFC TV as well, so it's well aware of the international audience.

Re: Fulham FC - OS Fans Unite - COYW!

Our national team still hasn't recovered from losing Bocanegra and Cherundolo, those wonderful men.

Hi Matt
Pretty amazing comeback Fulham has made. Last fall and early winter it looked pretty bad, but what a comeback !. Only Wolves and maybe Villa as you just won over is on your high level, what happened ?!.

Is it too late to try bringing this thread back? I finally found a place to discuss soccer and would enjoy chatting with some Fulham fans..

Not at all! I'm still here. Since my original post, I've joined the team at Fulham Focus, a fan site that does podcasts, Q&A's with players, and I am the video content guy. The majority of the guys on the team have Fulham in their bloodline, which is just crazy to interact with.

Feel free to post. We've got a somewhat uneventful January brewing, but with Mitro being injured (TBD), who knows if we will go after a striker or not. I do hope we sign Hudds' Kongolo (CB/LB) which would pretty much mean Bryan is on his way.

Betts is most likely leaving as we've all but signed Jordan Archer.

Exciting times!

I listen to the Fulham Focus pod all the time, that's awesome you're a part of it. Great pod.

Luckily Mitro should only be out 2-3 weeks. Much better news than the injury looked. I still wouldn't mind trying to sign someone like Gray from Watford to lighten the load for Mitro.

Jordan Archer and Terrance Kongolo are official now. I like Kongolo, not sure what was causing him to underperform so much with Huddersfield but maybe the loan move is what he needs.

Sorry for the delayed response. Yeah, my thinking is that he has been the better performer for the side, but that club is in a losing streak from Premier league to now. Tough to get out of that mentality I'm sure. Him joining us is actually interesting because Parker has spoken about how we have players that came from the same dismal season in the Prem, and are now finding their feet again. Spoken like a true professional imho.

Glad you listen to Focus podcast. I have been on there a couple times, made my debut (I think) in the win last year over Brighton at home. I just don't have the bandwidth anymore to get on, so I just continue with the videos .

Big match tonight vs Charlton. Amazing how we could potentially be within 1 point of the Top 2. Hopefully Bobby Decordova-Reid can bag one, or maybe even Ivan. Think we'll take it 1-0, a nervy ending with 5 at the back too!

Re: Fulham FC - OS Fans Unite - COYW!

Every game Mitro misses reminds me more and more just how crucial his presence is. Fulham is a completely different team without him. I'm glad he'll be back soon, and I hope Knockaert isn't out long either. Regardless, we need another striker and possibly another left back to get us through.

We have a favorable schedule upcoming, and we really need to slip into that top 2 during this stretch. We've closed the gap on the top 2 though, and that's important for sure. I really hope we can finish strong like we did 2 seasons ago.

On a side note, Fulham Focus followed me on Twitter the other day. I returned the favor. It's cool you're a part of the staff, Matt.
