It has once again been a long time between posts and I'm blaming the lack of through clicks on the google ad which has meant that rather than retire to a life of relaxing blogging Krystle and I have been forced to continue to work full-time, so shame on you all. That said I know you will be quite restless as when I last wrote here, Fulham's season hung in the balance but optimism was developing after a few good results. That optimism has not been acquired fool-hardedly as in the seven matches since then Fulham has sustained an unbeaten run of six matches to collect 10 pts, remain undefeated but one game at home, record away draws against league leaders Liverpool and Top 4 side Aston Villa, and hold 1-1 at home the world's richest club, Manchester City. The only disappointment during this time was 1-0 loss at Everton when a late goal cruelly robbed Fulham a share of the points. So as we approach the halfway point of the season Fulham a sitting on 21pts and hold 10th place on the table. They have also only let in 12 goals, fourth best in the league, thanks to the defensive pairing of Aaron Hughes and Brede Hangeland. They have also only scored 13 goals, 2nd worst in the league, but the general rule of the Premier League is that poor defense is more readily relegated than poor attack.
Highlights of the last 6 weeks have been the run at home, where consecutive 2-1 results against Newcastle and Tottenham gave them a much needed boost up the table from two teams whose early seasons struggles seemed to be turning around. Funniest was Tottenham's goalie Gomes dropping the ball over the line to gift Fulham their first goal in the London derby.
Having stopped adding photos cause they were always from the same angle, I recently discovered that Fulhamfc.co.uk provide heaps of cool photos after each game. I'm probably breaking copyright laws by putting the photos on here, but I will happily state these are not my photos, and I will not charge anyone to look at them so as not to profit from them. Hopefully by the time anyone realises I'll be far away in Australia.
