A game we could have won.  For one thing we had several good chances to do so; for another Blackburn were fortunate to have eleven men on the field after several brutal assaults on Fulham players in the first half. Good start: Simon Davies' cross was diverted towards goal by Andy Johnson, only for Paul Robinson [. Click to continue reading...

You never quite know how a returning hero will be greeted in football. I remember when Ian Wright was sold from Palace to Arsenal he got a right earful from the fans. He replied by
scoring the goals that got The Eagles relegated and celebrated as though he'd won the World Cup.

Other players have a much better relationship with supporters of their old clubs. Click to continue reading...

A 2-1 hammering.   Fulham, featuring the speedy Andy Johnson up front for the first time, destroyed Bolton with a complete footballing display. What stood out was the sheer variety of our attacking play.  Aside from the familiar pinball passing, we now saw the team prepared to launch the ball into the channels for Johnson to race [.

After a long break, we're back with the serious business tomorrow.  Bolton Wanderers visit, a team that, under current circumstances, we would hope to beat.   Andy Johnson should start, Bolton aren't what they were, and we've just beaten Arsenal.    So fair grounds for optimism, I think. But what are Bolton these days? Click to continue reading...

In the Germany thrashings post the other day George made the site's 5000th comment.   Which really doesn't mean much, but hey, there we go. Cheers, all - keep 'em coming.  Not much to talk about for now, of course, but soon we will have proper football again.  Andy Johnson too.  All good stuff. [. Click to continue reading...

2007/8 Review

On April 19th Fulham lost 2-0 to Liverpool and appeared to be sunk. Three wins later and they had hauled themselves from the morass, by virtue of a better goal difference than Birmingham. Manager Roy Hodgson, who had taken the post at Christmas, received the plaudits for their escape. Click to continue reading...

No Fulham news.  Steve B, who has contacts, has speculated "in fun" that we may see a new centre-back in time for Arsenal.   Barra, the usual mole on TiFF, says that Andy Johnson's fit for Saturday, if Roy wants to risk him.   That's about it. Big day for CCN though.  We're two today!  I started this [. Click to continue reading...

At long last the new year of football is underway and all is right with the world, if only for 90 minutes at a time.

Print this out and save for May to let me know what a clueless jackass your humble writer is. (Sorry guys this post was accidentally scheduled to publish on Saturday, oops.) 20. Stoke City -- Anyone got a good Harry Potters pun at the ready? 19. Hull City -- In Windass we trust. 18. Fulham -- I know Brian McBride and Andy Johnson, you're no Brian McBride.

Roy Hodgson is one of the great unsung English managers of the last 30 years and I'm a big fan of Englands most underated manager. A polite, erudite professor of the game and an intelligent, well spoken man, he's simply never received the recognition his career and achievements deserve in England due to the majority of his success being on [.

The Toffees may have landed fifth place in the Premier League last term, although it doesn't appear that every member of the squad was a happy one.

Johnson scored twenty-two goals in seventy-four appearances for the Toffees and for a while looked like becoming a cult hero in the North West. Last season he struggled with injury and was unable to establish himself in the side. Click to continue reading...

As much as Everton fans may not want to admit it, their club will always operate under arch-nemesis and cross-town rival Liverpool. There's no way around it; Liverpool is statistically the most successful team in English history, having won more league titles (18), Carling Cups (7), and European Cups/Champions League trophies (5) than any other club in the country.
