Contented after sigs of improvement, despite lack of wins : Picture by @YTJourno For plenty of Fulham fans there must have been an air of resignation about the way their team surrendered a famous victory by conceding so late against Man United. It keeps happening at the Cottage, with three of the past four seasons being decided by late United goals to win the game. This Sunday encounter ended in a draw, at least, and the Whites boss seemed pretty sanguine about the outcome. R

Football-on-Thames : Picture by @YTJourno Premier League Fulham (0) 1 Martinez og 63 Manchester United (0) 1 Cunha 89 They were so close to ending a 17-year wait for a home win against pesky United. But as in three of the previous four seasons Fulham were left beside themselves with frustration after conceding a late, late goal. At least this time it did not mean defeat, as it usually does, but the Whites really could have done with a first win of the campaign heading into th

At the time he claimed that the opportunity to pl

Another day, another derby Carabao Cup Second Round Fulham (2) 3 Smith Rowe 37, Muniz 42, Gonzalo 90+3 AFC Wimbledon (0) 0 The big question for Alvaro Arbeloa after this one was: What did Oscar Bobb do to make him the only survivor from Monday night's clash with Chelsea.
