Last few Fulham Reviews

And while I’m being all commercial, I might as well plug my own work.  So yes, we are down to the last ten or so Fulham Review 07/08 books.   Has everyone got a copy?

90 pages of fun, the story of last year’s amazing escape.  Features match reports, photographs, essays, all sorts.    When they’re gone they’re gone.  And that may well be soon.

Bullard contract talks

Never far away from the news this, is it?

Jimmy Bullard again says how happy he is at Fulham, and reveals that the club will speak with him in January.

People are taking this as a good sign.   But really the club could speak to him in January and say “We’ve accepted a £4million offer from Wigan.  So there’s your new contract, sunshine.”

Not that they’d be like that, but I don’t suppose the situation has changed since the last round of rumours.  We got info that time that Bullard’s agent was trying to stir something up, that the club were interested in offers, but that the dodgy knee would make any deals hard to complete.

Something to be aware of too:  SoccerPro have a 20% to 50% sale on this week.   I need to do a proper post about SoccerPro, because they’re excellent people, but if you need football stuff head on over.   They sell kits, boots, all sorts of equipment, and it’s all at a really good price.   This is mainly for our American readers – SoccerPro is an American company – but some of the prices are so good that it’s actually cheaper to get things shipped over than to buy them in England in the first place.  An example would be my Copa Mondial boots, which are loads at places like Pro Direct Soccer in the UK, but much less at SoccerPro.

As I’ve said, I’ll do a whole piece on the company soon because they’ve been good to me, but I thought I’d give a heads up because the sale’s pretty good and you could save good money.  Spread the word, people!

This was a public service announcement.  Normal blatherings will resume when I have something to say.

Sunderland

Proper preview later in the week, but here’s the football-data info.    Sunderland are doing alright this year, and will be hopeful of getting something from the game.     Fulham, as the yellow numbers show, need to start getting some shots on target.   We’re getting the strikes in happily enough, but they’re not good shots.  Sunderland seem to shoot less than we do, but have been a bit more efficient.  Perhaps that’s what happens when you have players like Steed around to do unexpected things and unbalance defences.

We shall see.  It promises to be another great weekend for football, perfect early winter weather.   More later…
