Brighton never expected to win this game and after being two down seemed to have little chance of so doing. Yet they pulled one back with Solly March’s first goal in 15 months and Chelsea had to engage in dubious tactics to hold out for the last 15 minutes. In particular when Solly March was put [...]

If Fulham carry on conceding 2 goals a game relegation is assured. To win a match we would have to score 3 but that is hard if not impossible. Usually we concede in the first quarter of a game after an error – normally it’s Seri losing possession or Dennis Odoi not doing the necessary. [...]

I wonder what Fulham owner Shahid Khan is thinking right now. Fulham are still propping up the league, have conceded 40 goals and £55million of talent in midfield in Anguissa and Seri failed to make much impact.

We deserved to beat Leicester but, if you do not take your chances, you can blame no one but yourself. I was disappointed that [...]

For us Viola fans this was the big one. We have always thought that a penalty denied to us at Cagliari and one awarded to Juventus at Catanzaro presented them with the 1981 Scudetto: we hated the sale of Roberto Baggio to them and more recently the young talent Federico Bernardeschi. Sadly for the [...]

Superficially you might conclude that little had changed. We conceded a sloppy goal early doors. Except for Seri coming in for the injured Anguissa, the team that fared well in the first half against Liverpool was selected. However, poring over the entrails the ‘little steps’ referred to by new [...]

In my Fulham room hangs a picture of our Day of Days, May 26 2018 when we won the play-off final against Aston Villa. A jubilant Slavisa Jokatovic holds aloft the trophy with a rare smile. 6 months on he has been sacked. He will go down in posterity as one of the great Fulham ‘gaffers’. After 6 [...]
