posted by BlackenWhite (Guest) - Saturday 20th July 2019, 10:32 PM It's getting a bit crowded on the right wing with Ayite, Kamara, Cavaliero and now Knochaert.. Any of them want to play right back or perhaps centre half I wonder.

MITRO was a waste of space. AK well made the second goal. And they played every other sub except MATT. some one said on here we have a very good front line and will score goals. Back line was sh''t . Mawson needs to stop back pedalling into our box. and give there front line chances to score.

ANTHONY KNOCKAERT is closing in on a one-year loan move to Fulham. SunSport understands the Brighton winger, 27, underwent a medical at the Cottagers on Friday night. The Frenchman will miss Albion’s friendly on Saturday – ironically against Fulham – as he looks to complete a switch which can be turned permanent for £10million next summer. If the relegated Londoners opt against buying him, then the Seagulls will be due a £4m payment for this term’s loan. Tres Bien Mon Amie

Back in those days I attended Henry’s Holiday Camp, a couple of years behind George but he was a bit of a hero at the school, infact was our school captain. Brother Peter was nearer my age and knew him pretty well. We used to go down the Cottage during lunchtime and would get to chat to the players and on occasion to Tommy Trinder. Remember one day a few of us sitting in his big blue Bentley, like we were old mates or family. His chauffeur didn’t look too chuffed.He always seemed to have time for a chat with the kids, no matter how brief and in those days he was a seriously big star. Good old school bloke. Met George and his wife Daphne after many years at the unveiling of his statue, the 66 charity, and shared a few stories about Pete. He told my son, for me, that his name was going to be on his statue, as I was keeping it as a surprise, and would be part of Craven Cottage for many years to come. Needless to say, there were a few damp eyes:)) My name’s on there too, so that when he takes his kids down in years to come, he’ll be able to share a few memories too, like we all do:))

Our cinema was in the Harrow Road (Paddington - I lived in Marylands Road).

The bloke upstairs from us used to like a beer and he would leave his empty bottles outside the flat whereby we would steal a few and get the money back which meant we could buy ice cream and stuff.

Only one of us would pay though and they would open the emergency exit on the toilet door to let the others in for free.

We never ate the ice cream; just threw it over the balcony onto unsuspecting girls - you'd never get a girlfriend that way these days LOL....

I seriously doubt that we will permanently offload Seri because he really isn't that brilliant these days. Apart from a few flashy videos, and a nice goal of the month against Burnley, there really is not that much going for our Seri. He may find Turkey to his liking in that players around him can get more from him. I still say that some players off the ball need to get more involved by seeking and getting the ball and basically working harder. Funnily enough, it would be to Seri's advantage if he had stayed with Fulham this season with the likes of Caravallo coming in. We need midfielders who can keep hold of the ball and distribute it intelligently. I have heard bad things about our midfield which is still messing up. Seri needs to sit down and think about his move and his overall game in particular.

Gary Lineker is paid for what the BBC commercially values his presenting skill at. It seems strange how this is worth this amount but then so is what other media and sports people get paid but I presume they wouldn't get it if it could be avoided. The second bit is when some one like Gary Lineker has a public platform and uses that for something outside of there expertise. I am all for him commenting on anything political relating to football or sport in general but not using his position to influence his audience with his political view. you would never get Sir David Attenborough giving his views on anything other than environmental issues but then again Sir David Attenborough(the only one I call a sir) is a gent.

posted by Fred (Guest) - Wednesday 17th July 2019, 12:52 PM You are perfectly correct apart from stating it was the Queen mother which would have been Queen Mary as opposed to Queen Elizabeth. Judging from your comments on inherited status I therefore assume you are against parents leaving weath to their children or children accepting wealth whether it be hundreds or millions of pounds. I have known people with similar Marxiists views until it affects them and when they come in to money, whether it is the lottery, pools or a big win on the horses then it is a different matter. That type of view denies entrepreneurs from wanting to achieve success, such as Dyson, Sugar and many others. How sad!

That is not the point thst I am making. Our country is a rock of stability and I for one believe that the Monarchy has done a marvellous job in assisting in this matter. Stslin was responsible for around 20 million death and Hitler was no better and that is probably why they sgreed a peace treaty in 1940. Suppression of free speech, religion snd many other basic rights is always the main ingredient for these regimes. Yes I understand why Hitlet and Lenin succeeded but at what cost? For me I am happy to live in England and proud to have been born and bred in Fulham

posted by Sayers (Guest) - Wednesday 17th July 2019, 8:45 PM Personally I cannot for the life of me understand how we have reached the 21st century and we have not evolved enough to realise that Kings Queens Princes and Princesses belong to a distant past where people did not know any better. They are about as realistic to normal thinking people as dragons and fairies yet a large proportion of society are still prepared to tug their forelocks and look upon these people as some form of superior beings. If Henry 8th had been an ordinary pleb history would have viewed him quite correctly as a serial killer. Instead he is seen as some jack the lad who was possibly a bit touched but very rarely is he criticised. I am honest enough to admit that had I been around years ago when to criticise royalty would incur severe penalties including execution I would have been pathetically queuing in the rain with the best of the sycophants. The point is we don’t have to anymore unless of course we are part of the inner circle, then as Lady Di would find out to her cost we would seriously need to watch our backs. Big boy you very kindly state that everyone is entitled to an opinion on the matter you probably won’t like it but this is mine and has been for more years than I can remember. I am not saying a republic is the answer or wishing to invoke radical changes, the monarchy and those that have interests in them are far too powerful and civil war is a nightmare that nobody needs. It would just be useful if people could worship them without trying to force their views on those who do not wish to play the subservient game. Some still believe that the royals were actually chosen by God to represent them when the truth is actually far more brutal.
posted by Eddie (Guest) - Wednesday 17th July 2019, 11:34 PM Eddie, the UK is a Constitutional Monarchy as you know. The Crown has no influence, direct or otherwise, on the conduct of the country's internal or external affairs. You made the point that the general populace no longer have to stand in the rain and tug their forelocks, and that has been the case for several centuries, but many CHOOSE to do so of their own violition, either by toeing the line in person or by proxy in pubs or in front of the television. Their silent acceptance of the status quo shouldn't be construed as subservience, the bottom line being most people quite like and respect the senior royals. More importantly, royalty and its status is very, very low on their list of things to worry about. It's simply a matter of no import to the vast majority. The armed forces are a different case which recognises obedience to the government on one hand and loyalty to the crown on the other. Given the average distain in the military for politicians the prospect of tension between obedience and loyalty helps to keep extreme political ambitions in check. If you don't want a republic, as you said, and you're not proposing radical change, then the status quo prevails and we're left with our personal views. Personally speaking, only HM and the direct line hold significance for me. The rest are of little or no concern. I'm much more concerned however as to whether Tim Ream can regain his jump height, a very real and obvious problem. Rgds.
posted by The Arizonan - Thursday 18th July 2019, 1:50 AM Arizonan I think you under estimate the level of deference toward the monarchy certainly in my part of the world which is edge of east London bordering Essex. My main problem is that many monarchists seem to think it is their solemn duty to guide non believers across from the dark side. Whenever state occasions arrive with the inevitable overblown coverage I try my very best to avoid them and keep my own council until the event finally goes away. This is never enough for most royalists some quite aggressive in their approach others more benign but unconsciously patronising. A debate when finally provoked by these people always ends with me standing my ground and the perpetrators quite often angrily stating Well if that’s your attitude why don’t you go and live in Russia. Always a well made and informed statement to firmly put me in my place. It is quite annoying when people make pro royalty statements claiming that they speak for everybody this is clearly not the case. I will not be debating this subject further interesting as the subject may be. Football is much more interesting than any of the stuff we can do very little about and I am sure Tim Ream will be back to his best next season.
posted by Eddie (Guest) - Thursday 18th July 2019, 10:57 AM I don't doubt you're right in what you say Eddie, just that I've never experienced it. There are blowhards everywhere on both sides, all best ignored. As for Tim Ream, he'll benefit if Betts is back between the sticks but I think his back injury, and his age, will tell against him. Hope not, as he's a nice bloke by all accounts.

posted by The Arizonan - Thursday 18th July 2019, 6:19 PM Arizonan I think you are right that we need Betts back between the sticks. Tim Ream certainly comes across as a nice guy and was a major factor in our promotion push. The guy appeared to be truly awful when he first joined us but in my humble opinion became our most improved performer as he gradually found his form and will prove a real asset next season. Opinion is divided probably based on his earlier efforts, also he is still prone to the odd gaffe or two. This is not really surprising over the course of our Premier League campaign as the supporting cast did not exactly inspire confidence.
posted by Eddie (Guest) - Thursday 18th July 2019, 8:11 PM I agree with you both with regards to Betts, and I think he got a bit of a rough deal last year, albeit I understand he did have injury problems(?). By far and away our best keeper in recent years. Do know that Ream was a totally different player with Betts in goal rather than that clown Button, who was truly awful. Would make James Bond nervous. Betts just brings that bit of confidence and solidity to the defence. Reason for the 1651 finish, was they had to wash their hands for tea, 1700 sharp.

Knighthoods should come at the end of a career not 5 minutes after a achievement it is a reward for a exceptional or lifetime of achievement . Bradly Wiggins won the Tour de France, first time a brit had for 109 years and then Chris Froome wins it straight after 4 times and then Geraint Thomas neither get a knighthood. The same with Andy Murray surely it would have made more sense if he had got this reward at least after he retired, and if a team wins a world cup how many of them should get knighthoods ?

As for getting rid of the Royals I also agree that they as they bring in mucho spondulix that they should stay, with the exception of those obnoxious pompous harris holes Andrew and Edward who should immediately be hung, drawn and quartered with their organs removed and left to rot on Putney Bridge. As for the England cricketers the one who should recieve recognition should be Andrew Strauss who masterminded the regeneration of the 50 over side 4 years ago, also poor bugger lost his wife to cancer a few months ago so fair play to him.

posted by Fred (Guest) - Tuesday 16th July 2019, 2:24 PM The reason European countries don't play cricket, is because almost all the countries that do, were part of the long gone British Empire. Because Britain ruled them for so long, they had time to learn the rules. Nowadays not many countries would have the patience to learn or want to play a game that can last for days.

We don’t play the youngsters, we throw people in too early, this ones crap, that ones crap.....I was quite looking forward to the season but now I need anti depressants to get through it.

I suspect it isn’t like going to the toy shop with your wish list. According to FFC they’ve been trying to do a deal for a couple of years and only now have all facets come together, notably, Wolves are on the up and up and they no longer feel he fits into their plans.

Seriously though, big Mitro is our go-to striker, our solid rock. Mitrovic just needs that pace get-go and we still need another striker. I will not complain if we have Cavaliero, Knockheart, and whoever onboard. It will be a big season for Fulham and if we can stamp some authority on this Championships, we can be awesome. Cup Matches are always lucrative and important, and we need muscle like Kamara around. Give the guy a chance and we may even see improvements to his game. We had a good cup run a season or two back and Kamara was quite forward with his goals. Fulham paid 5 million for him and i don't think we have much to lose or that we are taking a serious risk. Tony Khan has more to lose than any other in this saga, and his head will be on the block if everything he is planning goes south. We are doing everything slowly and that is the way how we operate. Our biggest worry is our defence, we need to address those problems this season...

Sadly, as you correctly point out, it's all about money now, no self respecting climate change denier gets a grant or a salary. You must agree or no dosh for you... science used to be about questioning everything, now it's about being on a gravy train.

posted by Simon (Guest) - Friday 12th July 2019, 5:43 PM It is estimated that it costs between 6 & 8 mill Per year to run the Academy,so work out what it has cost the club over the last 10/15 years. Our coaching scouting level is second to none at the acadamy only to develop for the piss takers, who cherry pick at will. If we were to get 20m for Seggers ?that would still leave us around 80mil out of pocket.Lets see for at least 4/5 seasons all smaller clubs abandon their youth sides and let the bigger clubs try and develop their tallent,you would then see the winging and whining start.

posted by MST (Moderator) - Friday 12th July 2019, 10:49 AM It’s only me! Always reading but not often posting…I think he could fit in well! Can see him getting around 15 or more goals with plenty of assists, working the wing and supplying Mitrovic. Think Caveleiro would be a perfect fit for us. He did well for Wolves and was a fans favourite. Could be a fantastic addition to our team. On loan With an option to buy so it’s a win win if you ask me !! We live to Dream. Onwards & Upwards. COYW

posted by FULHAM SUPPORTER (Guest) - Friday 12th July 2019, 12:35 PM Some people need to stay realistic....Cavaleiro would be an excellent addition as he will give pace and power where Mitro gives power and goals.

posted by Joka’s Revenge (Guest) - Friday 12th July 2019, 12:51 PM Not sure why you think we should sign proven Premier League players when Fulham is in the Championship and I'm not sure why you believe that proven Premier League players would come to lil ol Fulham playing in the Championship. Thirdly FFP wouldn't allow us to spend those kinds of transfer fees and salaries and finally Caveleiro is proven in the Championship and according to SKY SPORTS he is having a medical today so all good from my point of view ;0).

My only question is, Which side does Cavaleiro play on? left or right preference? I am liking what Parker is doing. I hope he brings more, especially our defence, we really need to give that some attention...
