Everton want Fulham’s Bullard? Get in the Top 6 first!

2
Today we're hearing that Everton are interested in signing Jimmy Bullard from Fulham. Fulham will be able to offer Bullard equal (if not more) money than Everton (London beats Liverpool as well) so it comes down to league positions and future as a player, and in that aspect I don't see Bullard jumping ship to [.

Tackling the Talent Gap in England

6
Fabio Capello's England squad selection for the World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Croatia asked more questions than it answered. The inclusion of Jimmy Bullard and omission of Michael Owen garnered the most press, but one or two other absences have induced bemused faces on Fleet Street. The real concern should be that a vast chunk [. Click to continue reading...

How QPR Missed Out on Bullard...Nygaard Comes on as Late Sub For Denmark

0
-
Who knew?! [Article says that QPR tried to buy Jimmy Bullard from Gravesend (now Ebbsfleet), I guess that would be back in 1999 during the Gerry Francis/Iain Dowie era, but he chose West Ham. "When West Ham came in for him, Queens Park Rangers wanted him too. QPR in fact offered more for him - £50,000 - whereas West Ham bid £35,000, but he was a mad West Ham fan and there was only one place we were going to let him go to. Click to continue reading...

Jimmy Bullard - England saviour?

1
Watching England press conferences is a wonderful way of invoking a spooky sense of deja vu. The players sit looking like they would rather be somewhere else, going through the motions of rolling out the same old meaningless clichés, and generally leave it to their journalistic opposition to take the initiative.

Who is this strange man and what is he doing here?

Some great pictures of Jimmy Bullard training with England.   I imagine this is like seeing your little sister reading the evening news or something. I particularly like this one for some reason.  Cole, Defoe, Ferdinand, Rooney, Bullard. The boy's done well for himself.  What a reception he'll get at the Bolton game, eh?

Jimmy Bullard: From House Painter to England International

3
International football has its share of Cinderella stories, and the heartbeat of Fulham's midfield, Jimmy Bullard, is no exception.

According to the Guardian article, Bullard may earn his first international cap for England at aged 29 and he's hoping his persistence will serve as inspiration to other aspiring footballers, who may be cut from amateur cloth rather than the typical early academy development stock which makes up most national sides.

Times bit up

1
Apols for light posting, issues galore at the minute, and I got about an hour's sleep last night. But I've done this for the Times, about Jimmy Bullard.  It's not quite what I wanted it to be, but given the way my brain's working (it isn't) it'll have to do. I'm not sure what's happening transfer wise. Click to continue reading...

I'm Back!

It was a hectic weekend here in Erie, but one that I wouldn't mind living again. I posted early last week that I'd be taking a brief leave of absence to get situated at college, which is what I've been doing for the past few days.

Clearly I've missed a lot in the soccer world with the transfer deadline having come and gone and a whole round of fixtures played. Click to continue reading...

Who is Bullard? Why not Owen?

Capello made some interesting moves with his call-ups the other day.

Some dude named Jimmy Bullard (left) is on the team, and another dude named Michael Owen (right) might be done with international soccer forever.

Blackburn manager loots former club for latest signing: Can this player cut it in the top flight?

They say that there's a gulf between the Premier League and Championship, so one can only imagine the supposed chasm that exists between the English top flight and League Two.

Late but I didn’t want to write about it.

0

Can't deny it for much longer. Two bad losses, one was a missed penalty at the Toon and the other was a 2-1 loss to a lowly Northampton. It looked so positive last week but these losses are making us look like Bolton of last year. I just want Jimmy Bullard and a bolstered midfield. I'm sorry that I haven't been writing but these games rarely come on over here.

Premiership Prospectus 2008/9 -- Fulham

1
Craven Cottage (dopamine clouds not pictured)


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...

Arsenal Not Good Enough for 3 Points at Fulham

1
It's a big disappointment. But Fulham deserve full credit for this win. They had a plan and executed it perfectly: neutralize the Arsenal's weak central midfield and clamp down on the left flank.

Arsenal's team on the pitch were not fluid; their passes astray, their runs sluggish; they were often a step late to the ball. Click to continue reading...

Wenger Accusing His Gunners Of LACKING Desire

2
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger criticised his players for lacking desire following the 1-0 defeat at Fulham yesterday. An off-colour Gunners performance was punished by Brede Hangeland's first half effort, the giant defender stabbing home from Jimmy Bullard's corner. Emmanuel Adebayor headed against a post and Robin Van Persie went close in the opening period, but Arsenal needed [. Click to continue reading...

Great win by Fulham yesterday. 1-0 over Arsenal at Craven Cottage. Watching the game at The Highbury Pub in Milwaukee - a friendly soccer bar whose very name was taken from Arsenal's former grounds.

The bar was populated mainly with Gooners and my hopes and dreams were managed in increments. Click to continue reading...

Fulham will be easy, right?

Wrong. But these are the games that we must win to sustain a title challenge.

This wont be easy today. It's a London derby and Fulham will be right up for this. Arsenal will need to focus completely and in all honesty every game from now to the end of the season should be like a cup final for Arsenal. Click to continue reading...

Hodgson Looks To Build On The Great Escape

3
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 [.

Premiership Preview--16. Fulham

3
Fulham's "Great Escape" was one of the best stories of the '07-'08 Premiership season. The Cottagers looked down and out so many times, so close to the end of the year, but a shocking 3-2 come-from-behind victory at Manchester City was the first of three consecutive triumphs and the second of four in five games that vaulted Fulham from certain relegation to safety for another year.

Part 4 of Premiership Talk's season preview features Fulham and Hull City.

Fulham
Best Case: 14th place. Let's face it - Fulham are a side tipped for relegation this season. I don't see how they were in such a dire position last season; the squad at Craven Cottage has what it takes to easily obtain 40 points in a season. Click to continue reading...

Fulham line up a swap with Middlesbrough, but who is getting the better deal?
