Hello!
All too frequently not nice viewing. I used the word ‘lottery’ in relation to previous outcomes at Craven Cottage and I stand by it. Fulham are not a great footballing side. What they are is a rag bag collective of players that occasionally get them out of a scrape playing on a pitch that reminds me too much of the Library.
The narrow ping pong table of a pitch created a scenario whereby v d Vaart and Modders achieved little and the almost totla absence of anything resembling a centre back on our behalf allowed players like Zamora occasionally look like Lionel Messi.
9.893 Clips from Brad’s performance will be undoubtedly be used in goal keeping classes up and down the land. His reactions were superb but he must be wondering how in his ‘dotage’ he’s having to put such punishing shifts!
4.675 Any chance we can lose the daft complicated feints and just whip a cross in, mate? Not a great performance at either end of the pitch.
6.678 Raging Kaboul in a china shop. Not his finest hour. He exemplified the fiasco. Some sterling hoofs, but these routinely landed at the feet of Fulham players. More thought required next time out, please.
6.789 Decent performance but far from the class he owes himself, let alone us. But then he was too frequently fire fighting single handed.
6.321 If I was pushed to sum him up in one word it would have to be unremarkable. If it was two words, the pretty unremarkable. He’s Tweeting and column writing like a trooper, now let’s see him play like one.
6.456 Cracking little goal, but that was almost the sum total of his contribution. We lacked width. He’s a winger. I don’t think the jury will be out long.
6.210 Another quiet game bar a Boys Own save off the line. He was hemmed in and we desperately needed to – but failed miserably – to do anything to change our shape or personnel to fix that. Poor possession.
7.100 He was overrun. Modric should have been swapped for Sandro at half time to help shore up the gaping hole in the centre of the park, but wasn’t. I’m unconvinced that the brutal assault by the thug Sidwell did much to boost his mood.
6.987 Top quality ball in to force the goal. But aside from that and the glorious pass to Azza he wasn’t 100% there. Poor possession.
5.999 Frustrating game. He just couldn’t get into it. Fulham suffocated him and our shape did little to offer him air.
7.459 I genuinely admired him out there. Pav, Defoe, Crouch etc would have all stay up there waiting for the ball to break. But Ade played selflessly. He knew the ball had to be pulled out of the quagmire and he went in to do his bit. Never a threat, but he played intelligently.
7.890 Got the break, buried it. I stand by my praise of Adebayor. That man is a team player as well as a talented finisher.
Still haven’t lost a game (league) since Tall Circus Man upped sticks and buggered off to Stoke (i :heart: Tony Pulis).
The ‘Curse of the Bambino’ is all good and well but we seemed to have excorcised the ‘Curse of the Longstreakofpisso’.
Just got to twiddle our thumbs- amongst other things- and wait for 2 weeks of f*cking nothingness until the next match…….
I also love Tony Pulis!
Anyone that is prepared to take J**** off us deserves not only our love, be he should want him to be the father of our babies. I love Alex MacLeish.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I also love Alex MacLeish…
Take my wife… please! She’ll do anything your own wife won’t do, Alex, and clean up afterwards too!
Anything?
I also love Billy Fiore’s wife…….. ;-)
Lets not forget Bruce Arena while we are all in such a loving mood. Mind you though, if the Ponces in E13 had taken PSB, I might have even felt some love for them.
I :heart: the way you sit on the fence ;-) my mind always goes back to that happy late night in August when Stoke fans cheered the signing of Peter’s Crutch. Daniel’s laughter must still be echoing around the Lane
I’ve got more splinters up my jacksy than Trevor Brooking :daumen:
I remember crossing everything hoping everything was going through on September 3rd ? When I saw delirious happiness at Villa Park and Stoke i did my single version of “You don’t know what you’re doing !!!!” and “We love you Levy we do oh Levy we love you” as it heralded a new beginning for the Famous Spurs… the dregs had left the building as the new (soon to be) heroes entered !!!!!
What a great two and half months – let’s keep it going !!! Speedy Recovery Harry!
“Just got to twiddle our thumbs- amongst other things- and wait for 2 weeks of f*cking nothingness until the next match”
…whilst clutching prayer beads that the likes of Parker, Bale and VDV come back unscathed from their international stints.
Hence the twiddling.
I will be watching Sky+ vs the Arse; liverpool et al….. oh what joy…. not supporting England till that racist tw.t is vanished ….
We’ve got a bit of excitement this side of the water with Ireland playing Estonia in the play offs,what a boost for the Republic it would be if Ireland Qualify
Should win it.
Fingers crossed
PSB should be up for it. He scored a nice goal for LA last night and then did the most rubbish roly-poly ever.
Should be easy unless they implode again….
“Dear Sir, I have a complaint,
Can’t remember what it is,
It doesn’t matter anyway”
Lyrics by Radiohead. Sort of reminds me of us on here at the moment and I definitely include myself in that. The best run we have been on for as long as I can remember but there is something not quite right?? :hae:
Your right its the changing rooms i give them 10/10 for changing teams Tempo.Wigan Newcastle Blackburn QPR Fulham have all gone in the tunnel and come out rejuvenated Fulham flyers where tired but they wher inspired when Jol told them Spurs where more tired with doing fuck all all week. This was forecast by Ground hog Davspurs he said Spurs would be leading at half time Fulham’s tired legs would sparkle after half time and we would scraped home 3-1. He also forecast the same re makable half time Tempo surge in the Wigan Newcastle Blackburn Qpr Fulham games so H.H i give my team 10/10 for overcoming a tired team rejuvenated and my champagne goes to all these teams changing rooms who are the best motivators in Europe.
You might just have something there Davspurs……thought it was just the Northern teams though…..QPR and now Fulham? It don’t make no sense…
J Barton Scouser ex Newcastle D. Murphy. The Northern factor has bean busted by Davspurs squad. Look at the bottom Utd have slowed City are protected by the skint FA and there ex Chairman. Mr Pulis stated City where not tested when they won the cup and Stoke where tested before and after City won. I no the script if you seen my blog on SPOOKY’S the scary ones site i predictedthe score and how tired Fulham and rested Spurs game would pan out. Like some on here who hid i fucked of out and i only seen the last four mins and nearly died twice. So please debate call our players for panicking but don’t blame them for elbows hand balls 13 shots on target because the fuckers had a full orange and a big mug of Tea at Half time. I will be tweeting Harrys son and tell him too do a DAVSPURS i go to all my dead relatives put one flower on each grave and ask them for a win both of our opening games i was away. The morel of this tale it helps me stay calm because they are all dead and if i watched Spurs live for the whole game i would be with them stay away Harry till the FA wake up or we will be playing at Heart Attack Lane. We bbeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaatttttttheccccccchhhheeatttts and left them red faces and pointless rejoice like Davspurs

According to them:
“Harry’s Heroes during the 2011/12 season. The rise in success domestically for Spurs has gradually seen them become a major force in the Premier League. Tottenham have a great tradition of winning many titles such as 18 league titles and 5 European Cups. They play their home games at White Hart Lane in front of a 36,310 capacity. They will be looking to regain their dominance in the Premier League in 2011 to try and build on their progression.”
So stop moaning; we are the most successful team in the league!
Your right some fans on here no nuffin and you get newt for playing good and not scoring enough goals we have done it enjoy 3 points and a rest.
Can someone accross the pond get me a picture of our 18 trophies for winning the league?
Yes. I’d like to add those to my Library of pictures of Wet Sham winning the PL, and Scotland winning the World Cup.
Having had a brief scan of most of the posts it seems the main point is missed.
We were completely over run in midfield in the 2nd half It was pointless bringing Defoe on when we couldn’t get out of our own half. You could have Rudd Van Nistleroy, Jimmy Greaves and Pele playing up front but they ain’t gonna score without the ball. We needed to win back the midfield and had Sandro replaced VDV we would still have had Modders, Azza, Bale and the big guy to provide a goal threat.
And the main point is that our highly experienced highly paid Assistant Manager and First Team Coach could not spot the bleeding obvious.
If Arry doesn’t come back soon we could drop some soft points.
Hahaha… that’s spot on: they looked like rabbits in the headlights, whenever the cameras panned over to the touchline in the second half… ;)
…Jordan did give an exceedingly good post match interview, though…
There’s nothing like being an on-the-couch-coach, eh?! ;)
“Having had a brief scan of most of the posts it seems the main point is missed.

I think that was so blindingly obvious to every one bar the person that could have actually made it happen, that it didn’t really need to be said.
I get the feeling that the subs were decided before the game, regardless of how it panned out, but what makes you think Redknapp would have done anything differently?
I agree. That plan to bring Defoe on had dust on it. How in the name of Barry White was the addition of a goal hanger going to assist a team that couldn’t string two passes together? Joe & Clive may as well have been helping Arry eat his grapes for all they added.
We finished the first half 2 goals ahead and ended the second half 2 goals ahead Defoe was vital. H.H Teams in the second half in the premiership can score two goals in 30 seconds it took Defoe to score.
Point missed? It’s exactly what I said (yesterday at 3.41).
Must have been a very brief scan – do keep up :-)
Apologies. I think we need a summariser on here
Accepted of course.
One Man could have found Defoe and Ady Thunder Hudds pray for his ankle too fully heal iam.
now your in dream land you wouldn’t have seen him in a physical midfield area
