And following on…

… here’s a really good, sensible interview.  Good stuff.

Now and then

It has been noted that our manager has been getting a bit tetchy in interviews. In his defence, people are always asking him about this blasted last 10 minutes hoodoo, and I’m not quite sure what they expect him to say back. He comes up with a different angle on the phenomenon most weeks, but I wanted to know if the pressure is telling in other ways.

So here’s the interview after the Arsenal game.

And here’s the interview after the Blackburn game.

He might have been a little more composed at the start of the season, but it’s nothing major. One thing I would point out is that there are a lot of excuses in both, missed penalty decisions, reasons why we should have won but didn’t, some of which were down to the refereeing.

World Cup 2010 Poster

Although there’s lots and lots of football news in the world I’d like to share with you, I try to suppress my urges and keep to Fulham business since this is a Fulham blog. But I received an email from my state soccer association yesterday with a link to the new poster that was released this week for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. I really like this design and wanted to share it with you. I love the African colors and the way they used the child’s head as the continent as if he’s heading the ball. Really nice design.

Let me know what you think.
