Amazing result,such a shame we didn’t start performing earlier on in the season. People quick to aim the blame on the owners or the manager but so obvious we had or have the ability got to point the finger at the players who get paid ridiculous amounts of money despite extremely poor efforts. Roll on next season!!

We were not quite ready for the prem, but now we are. Sadly all too late, but never mind. I am hoping that we can hold on to the core of our team back in the Championships. No doubt there will be offers to buy our best, but let's hope our Chairman is reluctant to sell and keep paying those big wages. Khan can afford it and hopefully, he still has ambitions as high as his NFL pursuits.

They’ve been pretty hopeless all season and now in the run down they’re setting out their stall. It could also be the Parker effect and he’s managing to get something out of this team. Who knows.

posted by Tom (Guest) - Saturday 20th April 2019, 5:45 PM I'd say Anguissa, despite a poor turnover late, looks much better since coming back from injury. Seri had a good day, but I still think we should sell him. Both players are too slow moving the ball, taking extra touches and not quite playing our style.

Absolute rubbish, all the more reason not to give Parker the job. Two dead rubber wins and he is the messiah! How about the pathetic, gutless and inept games before these that sealed our fate. Blokes a looser.
posted by Mo Lester (Guest) - Saturday 20th April 2019, 5:08 PM Oh if only, the Khan's had appointed Scott Parker earlier, we wouldn't be facing relegation now, as we have now started to play the way that we should have been playing all season. Two wins on the trot, two clean sheets, and our first away win of the season. We have every chance now of winning our last 4 matches, and we can really look forwards to storming trough to the title next season. I am willing to swap a winning side next season, than a Premier League struggling outfit. It's only for one season anyway, so I can live with that.
posted by Malden Mick (Guest) - Saturday 20th April 2019, 5:11 PM Incredible Mo you take no prisoners! Our first away win of the season, won our previous game at home and it’s the first time we’ve played well as a team all season thanks to Parker, and he’s rubbish! You’ll be saying next bring back Magath!
posted by Tom (Guest) - Saturday 20th April 2019, 5:35 PM So called fans like you Mo, tend to make me sick. There was not a manager, or coach in the world who would have gleaned many, if any points out of Scott's first 7 matches, which included away games against West Ham, Southampton, Leicester and Watford, and home games against Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City. Even then, we were dead unlucky against both Chelsea and Liverpool, and gave Manchester City a run for their money. In my opinion, for what it's worth, I think that Scott has done a marvellous job, in sorting the squad out, and getting us playing well and beating an in form Everton, and a Bournemouth team that had just put 5 goals passed Brighton. If you are not happy with those results, Mo, then go and support Brentford, and the ten see what bad football is all about. You will probably moan your head off next season when we only win the Championship by 5 or 6 points, complaining that it should have been more. This season Mo, was a blip, from which we are already about to recover COYW

Let's hope Celtic give Lennon the job up there full-time because we don't want him or need him. I would rather keep Parker on full-time. Lennon couldn't cut it at Leicester in the Championships. These Khans are starting to worry me a lot more, what are they thinking? What's wrong with Laudrup? Bielsa from Leeds is a good shout, i like his way of playing football. Bielsa needs to take a team to the next level and if he fluffs it at Leeds, we could give him a try at ours. I still think that Slavisa could do a job for us 2nd time around, and if he was appointed again by those daft Khans, i could accept that decision. Slavisa deserves another chance at Fulham and he should be able to pick his own team if possible...

I would say apart from O'Riley he's the best Ive seen of the youth set up (maybe Opuko too). What is clear and is common knowledge in the our scouting network is O'Riley is the class player in a weak youth set up at FFC ..anf thats includes Sessgenon. Its also common knowledge he is not being played for non football reasons as certain people at the club want him out. Fossey is loved so would expect him to play soon but most internally agree the only one who actually merits a chance is O'Riley..although rumour is he's off to Europe if they dont offer him a contract..

posted by KUNYE (Guest) - Friday 19th April 2019, 9:37 AM Not mobile enough? You must be watching a different O'Riley.. We have watched him every game he's played this season. He has covered more ground inn EVERY game apart from 2 (27 games) than any other FFC player..thats one thing..secondly we rate all players (we are an agency Im an FFC fan) per match. Its based on lots of things includong forward passes in his case, assists, chaces created key passes etc.. He has been clear top rated player (MOTM) in the following.. Man Utd (home and away) Norwich away Wolves (home and away) Colchester cup (home and away) Leeds cup (away)NUFC (away). He has been in top 3 in every game apart from one. All the people including myself watch as well as use stats. Has more assists than anyone else .. Best passing percentage chances created etc etc..Is top for chances created and key passes across both 2 divisions..and those are impritant stats..I could go on and on..the crime is his face doesnt fit I believe he dumped his last agent who happens to be Parkers. And didn't sign with another that Club officials are friendly with..lots will say thats drivel but when you speak to peole at the club..nearly everyone thinks he should have been in the squad from the beginning of season (oh and if you look at the preseason games and Murcia games for first team he was in top 3 in all of them) If you speak to first team playres ((I have) they think he is premiership class and above..Oh and last season he played large parts apparently with growth injury in his back..Personally it shows how seedy this club is..Hopefully he will get a shot but from what ive seen if FFC wont offer him a contract he'll be off in next 12 months if not sooner..
posted by SW (Guest) - Friday 19th April 2019, 11:39 AM Agree with everything above from SW and also I believe Kunye to be right..Slav had him in first team all the time training etc..He would have played him (He did have him on bench for Millwall I believe)..PArker has self interest first. Elliot is not deserving of the place (not that he isnt good) but FFC want money for him when he leaves in summer and therefore tribunal value will be higher Steve Sess absolutely doesnt warrant a place if its based on performance as he's been average at best for 23's but he's a Sessegnon. I would say almost everyone agrees O'Reilley has been the best 23 by far this season..

posted by John (Guest) - Wednesday 17th April 2019, 6:40 AM I used a friends season ticket last night and went to see Brighton play Cardiff, and I can in part, back Owen up, inasmuch as compared with these two teams, on last nights showing we are miles ahead of both of them, based on last Saturday's display. Brighton are a shadow of the team that we beat at CC, and as for Cardiff, well yes they did score one good goal, and one by very bad marking by Brighton, but otherwise they looked very ordinary. According to some of the Brighton fans they should have had a penalty for handball early on, but it was up the other end to me, and I didn't see it,but I am sure that we will put paid to Cardiff's Premier League visit, when we beat them in our next home game, and that will prove that we will have more chance of a quick return to the top, than Colin and his poor outfit next season.

posted by John (Guest) - Wednesday 17th April 2019, 9:50 AM I think that I read recently on this site, that AC will at least be watching Premier League football next season, as he will go to Brighton to watch it. That could be doubtful now AC, although quite honestly I don't think that Cardiff have any chance of staying up. I must agree that over the season Cardiff have proved to be better fighters for points than us, but now that Scotty has taken over, we have improved in leaps and bounds, and we are at this moment, a far better team than either Cardiff or Brighton, at least at home. I will be going to Bournemouth on Saturday, so I will see for myself what our away form is like. COYW
posted by Brian Jarvis (Guest) - Wednesday 17th April 2019, 10:42 AM May I respectfully point out, the league is not a cup competition. The best teams are those that consistently beat other teams each week over the duration of a season. A team, doubtless, can perform above expectations on a given day and go against perceived wisdom/form. Hence, the uniqueness that is the FA Cup. This does not make them a better team. Unfortunately, Fulham FC have been consistent in one aspect alone, their ability to leak goals, and inability to score them. On our overall performance this season, we are justifiably relegated. We are not a better team than Everton, albeit we did beat on Saturday, when we were better , I doubt we would beat them were we to play them tomorrow. Every team that finishes above us, is better than us, would it were different, but it isn’t, get over it and pray our abysmal management can get there act together.

Cairney, in my opinion, is not and will never be much more than a decent Championship player and he certainly is not Premier League material.

posted by MST (Moderator) - Wednesday 17th April 2019, 8:29 AM Arizonan' i have always rated Tom Cairney. I was being sarcastic and trying to get over what some fans were saying about him. I even dropped in a quote ' Self-appointed experts' in my top post which was more than a history lesson? For the record, i am also a self-appointed expert on here, we all are to an extent, we all have strong opinions about our team. It is a pointless exercise to go through past quotes on what is said in the heat of the moment on here, especially this season. I like Joe Bryan, but sometimes this season, he has done some daft defending and i have slated the guy. Football gets you like that. I didn't particularly want Parker in charge, but he is surprising me and keep it up, we should back him...

posted by Rm (Guest) - Monday 15th April 2019, 2:24 PM Khan will be secretly smiling. Players like Anguissa cost the money and it now looks like some of ours needed more time to bed in. If we keep our squad together? We won't spend much next season. Arguably, a right back is needed? Joe Bryan looks like he can improve even further. It is not a bad thing to have late bloomers, it hurts a little bit because we got relegated. If we are able to keep Mitrovic, he will be a nightmare playing against him. All we need now is a pacy forward up front, and i hope Parker makes good use of our youngsters like O' Reilly... Ease back on the spending next season will see us in good stead financially and that is important for small clubs like ours in the long run...
posted by OWEN (Guest) - Monday 15th April 2019, 5:08 PM Quite amazing really. You were all screaming like schoolgirls for a complete clean out of this massively underperforming squad and now, after one win against an Everton team that didn't turn up, we just need a pace man up front. The leakiest defence in european football is thus exonerated and the completely absent midfield pardoned and all raised to the standard of Championship winners. I see the Kardashian RT Binoculars are even more powerful than I thought. Must be the new "whitewash" button which corrects all flaws and erases the memory module.

Let’s not get carried away! Everton were not at their best yesterday. Even if they were, don’t think we have green shoots on the back of one game. Remember the wins after Burnley, Huddersfield and Southampton! If we can win 3 or our remaining 5 games (all winnable and apart from Cardiff they have not much to play for) then we may have turned the corner and we can start thinking about the green shoots! Remember the players player well yesterday - Babel, Anguissa, Chambers and maybe even le merchard will not be around next season!

Perhaps the lack of pressure helped them play more to their true potential...but they will face pressure again next season as no doubt the expectation on them will be to bounce straight back-up to the Premier League..


posted by MGW (Guest) - Sunday 14th April 2019, 4:04 AM I didn't know whether to feel happy or sad yesterday. Of course I was extremely happy with the result, and especially the way we played, but I was on the other hand sad, that we won't be playing in this league for at least another year, which is a real shame. What I can't understand though is the attitude by some of our players, so it is reported, towards not playing in the Championship. The question is why ? The Championship is world renown for being one of the best leagues in the world, even better than most major leagues in other European countries, so why wouldn't our so called stars want to prove themselves in this division. The likes of Babel, Seri and Chambers, should be encouraged to stay, along with Mitro, Cairney and Sessingnon, who I understand are already saying that they will stay. We will be hot favourites to go straight up, if we can keep most of this squad together, and the players owe us supporters at least one shot at it, as it is them that have put have had us relegated, and not us fans, who have been behind them every game, even when we are losing. Scott Parker should also be left as our Manager if he proves himself over the next few games, as there is no manager on earth who could have started off with such a bad set of fixtures that he had, and even then we were so unlucky not to have had more points out of those games. There is not one team in the Championship as good as Everton, so go on lads stick with us, and you will soon be back where you belong.
posted by A C (Guest) - Sunday 14th April 2019, 8:51 AM We have some talented players maybe to many came in at once. But so much depends on the Managers and SJ and CR both could not get best out of them. And lm not saying Parker is the Answer after one game . You can blame players don’t know why can’t work out things on there own. But just look at Palace last time we went down looked in right mess when we won there 4-1 changed manager stayed up same when RH took over at place adrift at bottom same with us when RH took over

What a brilliant performance today, and against a side that had just beaten Arsenal. Why the hell have we left it so late though to put on such a good show. On today's showing we are a lot better than many teams in the bottom half of the table, and we should not ben going down. However, we must be odds on favourites for a quick return, especially as Mitro says that he will be staying with us next season, and that's a big plus. Now that we have broken our rotten run, let's go for our first away win against Bournemouth next week, and then go all out to win our last two homes games, against two very ordinary looking sides in Cardiff and Newcastle.

posted by Alan B (Guest) - Saturday 13th April 2019, 6:40 PM Agreed-more of those performances during the season and we would have stayed up. It looks good for next season if we keep most of these players (however there is always the dreaded Tony Khan factor !)
posted by GEZZA (Guest) - Saturday 13th April 2019, 6:51 PM I am not Parkers biggest fan but saying that i would back him on this performance. We can all say that is only one game, but we beat a decent Everton side today and that is a big deal in my eyes. If Mitrovic stays, that might persuade most of the others to stay. Guy's, we should be happy and excited if we keep most of our squad. Even the likes of Anguissa is a prospect. We could seriously smash the championships next year with this squad and we should use some youth like O'Reilly. No danger of a transfer embargo if we keep what we have. I am happy to say this, i would rather stick with Scott Parker rather than Steve Clark. Our players like him and keeping a happy squad is most important, ask Utd about that one. I hope that fans like 'KUNYE' can get on board with Parker. MST' go get that season ticket mate' Fulham are playing football again!!!
posted by OWEN (Guest) - Saturday 13th April 2019, 7:42 PM We played well but you have to ask yourself why has it all changed after a shocking season which has ended up with us relegated. Seri has made it clear he doesn’t want to stay at Fulham and I’m pretty sure Anguissa, Mensah and Marchand feel the same They have no loyalty towards the club and the only reason they pulled out all the stops today was to attract interest from other clubs which would be a good thing for us as we don’t want to be saddled with players who cost a lot and want to leave. West Ham and Crystal Palace are interested in Mitro and I wouldn’t blame him for leaving. Who wants to play under Tony Kahn and the way he runs the club. Cairney has been played out of position for the majority of the season so he’ll be off along with Sess. Sorry for the cynical take on this but it’s all too late. I’ll still be at the last games cheering our team on but I’m looking forward to the Championship and just hope Tony Kahn sticks to wrestling.
posted by Tom (Guest) - Saturday 13th April 2019, 7:42 PM Agreed, Tom. Seri showed no desire and no heart, but Slav and CR kept trotting him out there. Le Marchand and Fosu Mensah outclassed bybthis level. Anguissa is a keeper, just needs to learn the game more. If he does, he’ll be a good buy.
posted by Drago (Guest) - Sunday 14th April 2019, 8:13 AM Not too many players show " loyalty " their clubs, for most of them the club pay their wages and if another club is happy to pay them more off they go . Can you blame them?

I feel sure that Jokanovic without the repeated mistakes afforded to him by management would have kept us in the top division. Only twice in all the years I have been watching FFC did we achieve these football playing levels, Tigana and Jokanovic. As a small club it has to be the way forward to enjoy and admire the game as it should be played. I hope and pray for a third such time.
posted by denny (Guest) - Saturday 13th April 2019, 1:39 PM Faithful' i too think we should welcome Slavisa back if he is truly holding out. Just as Denny points out that only Tigana and Slav we have seen some great football. Slavisa has a proven track record for getting 2 clubs promoted now, Watford and Fulham. We can debate and argue that Slavisa is unproven and a failure in the prem. We all know that his hands were tied when it came to recruitment and putting his own stamp on Fulham. Our owners have made mistakes galore and i feel that they want to learn and rectify their mistakes. Well, i hope so! Lets face facts here, we are not going to get Laudrup or a Bielsa, or a Nuno at Wolves. I personally don't want the likes of big Sam or Clarke down at Fulham. If they announced that Jokanovic was appointed for a 2nd stint for next season, i would be estatic, and excited again. Slavisa would need more control on players, and a plan 'B' AND 'c', to take us to the next level. Why not give him that chance if he is interested? Gamble on buying a 'Bit Coin' or having Slavisa back for a 2nd spell? Slavisa Jokanovic can give Fulham what we crave, Decent football again, and we owe this guy his chance to put right what he failed to do at the first time of asking. Get Fulham back into the prem, and 'keeping Fulham in the prem. Let's not deny him that if he wants another crack at the job. Come on guy's, Kunye' Slavisa has got to be better than Colonel Parker!!! Everton today? More misery probably, i can't even get excited anymore. Bring back Slavisa, or Keegan, or Tigana!!!!! Give us some football we can enjoy again!!! And a win!!!!

Hodgson defends well first plays his football in final third The mistakes were top to bottom. Still thing the Khans hearts are in the right place and hope they learn.

posted by Chris of Jokes - Friday 12th April 2019, 11:40 AM MST - I concur with the spirit of the posts but not all points are valid. As much as I strongly thinkTony Khan should leave leave his position, we are too easily to blame the foreign owners when things go bad or our case pear shaped! No one complain about the Blackpool owners when they were going up (all the way to the premier league) but on the way down they are the worse people in the land. I don’t know them but Blackpool probably found themselves in a position better than they were. Yes, all the players were great players for the club they played for. Isn’t that itself an endorsement for the job Tony has done - as he did when he hired Cairney, Ream, Mac and Stef - all were players of the seasons for their club before coming to Fulham. But what you are missing and the difference is 3 of these 4 players have championship experience, and I’d argue Scottish premier is about the same. Where’s the players we bought are all from a foreign league! That’s where Tony Khan got it wrong this time! Frankly, other than holding the ultimate owner accountable, I still have no issue with Shahid Khan. I believe once he resolves the governance structure in Fulham, we will be a stronger and better club with new stadium, added to the upgraded training facility! I will be renewing my season tickets!

posted by The Arizonan - Friday 12th April 2019, 3:14 PM Thank you, MST, for a generally well thought out post. I agree with almost everything, except where you refer to particular nationalities, which, I’m sad to say, borders on racism. Idiots abound in all nationalities and British owners and managers are no exception.I will only categorise Khan as one of those idiots, if he falls to see the incompetence of his son, and refuses to remove him from his role. The nationality of owners, managers and players is of total irrelevance

posted by moreline (Guest) - Friday 12th April 2019, 3:27 PM While you're at it on the virtue signalling. social justice warrior front, you forgot to call MST sexist and mysogynist for referring to a future manager as "him". Disgusting behaviour which cannot and will not be tolerated. There will be consequences.

posted by The Arizonan - Friday 12th April 2019, 7:02 PM I get your post MST but you seem to be missing the point,our owners are not the enemy ,all these people making judgement on Mr Khan he bought the club has invested lots of time and money clearly he’s new to this business! Overpaid individuals on and off the pitch I for one think Claudio and several new players don’t care about our special club it is a business. Going forward I believe we will get there it’s almost impossible to know who comes to our club for the right reasons,I also have faith because Mr Khan has put his money where his mouth is! It’s the mercenaries you should be having a dig at.

posted by The Arizonan - Friday 12th April 2019, 8:44 PM This is my final salvo. Thank you & goodnight all! chemist, a biologist and an electrical engineer had all been sentenced to death and were on death row waiting to go to the electric chair. Finally, the day had arrived. The chemist was due to go first. As he strapped him in, the executioner asked him, "Do you have anything you want to say?" The chemist replied, "No," so the executioner flicked the switch but nothing happened. According to this State's law, if an execution attempt fails, the prisoner has to be released. So the chemist was unstrapped and allowed to walk free. It was the biologist's turn next. As he was being strapped in, the executioner asked him, "Do you have anything you want to say?" The biologist replied, "No, just get on with it" so the executioner flicked the switch, but once again nothing happened. So, just like the chemist, the biologist was released. Then the electrical engineer was brought forward. The executioner asked him, "Do you have anything you want to say?" The engineer replied, "Yes. If you swap the red and the blue wires over, you might just make this thing work."

I think that we went for him in the January transfer window, and he turned us down saying that he was not ;prepared to play in the Championship. How the mighty fallen, and I am sure that he is not the right type of player for our club. No thanks.
posted by Brian Jarvis (Guest) - Thursday 11th April 2019, 5:52 PM He was told he was not wanted start of season and to find a club he had not played a game still did not want to go in January . He’s happy to pick up he’s good wage packet not play football and get drunk that’s fine he’s got good contract lots would not blame him Owen. But how fit is he ,what he did at L C is well gone, what should we pay him how much would he cost has his desire gone. Free transfer would take a bunt on same money as our middle earners and hope we can get him fit not gonna happen
posted by Badger (Guest) - Thursday 11th April 2019, 6:47 PM Maybe Drinkwater will grow up? There is not a lot of options left on the table for him now and that drink-drive charge will hang heavily on him. If Drinkwater can see past a pint of beer? Fulham is a good fit for him now. If he really wants to play football again, we are a good set-up to get him going. We shouldn't keep asking if this and that player is the right fit for Fulham. Remember George Best and Rodney Marsh? There has been a few so called bad boys down at Fulham. We do well with a lot of these guys. Fulham do not attract the top or nearly the top players, and i think that we will do well in recruiting good players with something to prove. Fulham have a few complacent players around the club and they are too comfortable in my opinion. The whole club and system needs a shake-up from top to bottom. If not Drinkwater, Benteke if mitrovic goes. There will be more players out there that we can get on board.We just need to select the right players for Fulham...

When was the last time the club bought a player you suggested before you read it on News Now?
posted by MST (Moderator) - Friday 12th April 2019, 10:20 AM

I would not be surprised at all..Dont know what the bo has to do..maybe change his name to Sessegnon! Ive seen him loads this season and he has overall (its very difficult n our U23's to shine)been superb..Not every game but in at least 60% he's been the standout player..Ive heard players and coaches talk about him and why he isnt playing..But its nothing to do with his attitude or preformance.If Steven plays on Saturday then I agree this is something very grubby..He should be the first on the list and Opuko second. I wouldnt blame him if he walked as he's been treated very poorly and all because of politics..I just read his post match after Reading and he is a class boy..we should be proud of him yet our club treat him like dirt!!!

I agree ,problem is we’ve been spoilt for the last 20 years when qpr we’re London’s top club in the table, Brentford league 1 it changes every year. Personally I see us a a championship team/club felt we were punching above our weight. Bournemouth if they loose Eddie Howe sure they’ll nosedive. I have noticed the gap increases every season between Orem and championship
posted by Mike (Guest) - Thursday 11th April 2019, 1:27 PM Size, if it must be measured, is about "heart", an all encompassing passion and devotion to the club on the pitch, off the pitch and in the stands. Bournemouth for instance have it; we used to have it, but we don't now and it will take effort from the entire FFC family to get the heart back in the club. Following this logic, we are indeed a "smaller" club than Bournemouth sad to say.
posted by The Arizonan - Thursday 11th April 2019, 3:50 PM It used to be on Fans and Ground size but as Mike pointed out the gap between Premiership and Championship has got Bigger we came down at the wrong time first time after 13 years the big bucks started to be paid now if you stay up longer nough a small club like Bounmouth can punch above there wait . But yes we are a championship club with rich owners
posted by Badger (Guest) - Thursday 11th April 2019, 3:52 PM Well I was in the stands at Watford Ari, and there was an enormous amount of heart from everyone as there has been most of the season from the fans. So on that basis and that basis alone, we are much bigger than Bournemouth!
posted by Chris of Jokes - Thursday 11th April 2019, 4:35 PM It's the whole thing Chris, the ethos of the club, not just the hardcore supporters who I agree have been magnificent. Most other clubs would nave been booing and throwing things long before now. But that's just a part of a much bigger picture. The club is in turmoil from top to bottom, which as far as I know Bournemouth isn't hence the comparison. It's a nebulous topic on which all opinions are valid. We have a disinterested and dysfunctional team, a caretaker manager with no clout, a director of football who's an arrogant know-nothing idiot, a sham Board of Directors, a squad overloaded with loanees and those who won't play Championship football and a staff infused with a "can't do" attitude. Having a great band of supporters is possibly one of the only things "Fulham" we can cling on to.
posted by The Arizonan - Thursday 11th April 2019, 5:59 PM I think we will agree to disagree on this one Ari. Just because we have had a bad season does not mean that the club is in turmoil. It's not great admittedly, but unless you are in there behind the scenes, who really knows? Also, is the state of where a club is in terms of league position and perceived back room turmoil or state of affairs really a factor when judging the size of a club? On that basis, Bournemouth are bigger than Leeds and Sunderland to name a couple. In my opinion, the size of a club is about the history and tradition of that club as well as ground size and average support over a period of time. We were in the prem for 13 years and had a good few years of European football. Not many clubs our size (average to small) have a better record. Let's just say that supporting Fulham is never boring!
posted by Chris of Jokes - Friday 12th April 2019, 9:32 AM As far as I am aware the size of a club is and always has been measured on it's fan base, it's history and it's geographical reach. Leeds, Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa, etc. are all big clubs in the Championship and would also be big clubs in the Premier League. Did Newcastle become a small club when they were relegated to the Championship or Man Utd, Chelsea, etc. when they were relegated to the old Div. 2 - no of course not. By comparison Fulham are a small club - always have been and always will be thank goodness.
