General Discussion / Re: Jimenez POTM

Last post by Chi_FFC - Today at 08:31:47 PM

Just seen Jimenez has been nominated for premier league player of the month for September. Had to read countless reactionary posts on here after the West Ham draw saying we were in serious trouble this year because we didn't have a proper striker. How much difference does a few games make.. I was personally never worried

I didn't want to talk about it too much, as let's be honest - it's only three goals and 3 matches so far..

Tbf, it's 10 in his last ~1050 league minutes.

I'd be happy to admit he's come out of nowhere and exceeded my expectations, some of my own doubting/criticism now looks misplaced. But let's have some balance, we learned last year with Muniz that a run of 6-8 good games doesn't necessarily last or make someone a £50m striker all of a sudden, especially in Raul's case where he'll be 34 next year.

Not sure anyone expects him to be worth 50m? I think we just want him to do well whilst still with us!

When I became a Fulham fan, Lawrie Sanchez was in charge. I can safely say that Felix Magath is my least favorite former manager. His treatment of Fulham heroes like Brede was criminal. The "Cheese Incident" always makes me chuckle though. How did we ever let that mad man into our club?

Actually he wasn't far out with the cheese stuff

There's a reason this cheese is trending on social media. Just ½ cup of cottage cheese packs 12 grams of protein, including leucine—a branched-chain amino acid that's important for repairing muscle, says White. "Cottage cheese also contains casein, a slow-release protein that can fuel muscle protein synthesis. Because it's slowly absorbed,

While dietary cheese definitely has nutritional value, I don't think there is any evidence it be absorbed through the skin and penetrate the muscle. Felix told Brede to rub cheese on his leg to heal his injury.

To be fair, I think it was a traditional remedy used in Germany.

Is it possible that it can be absorbed through the skin - if rubbed into into the skin  around an  injury , could it have some effect?

I've  bought the pain killer Ibuprofen, usually comes as a capsule you take, used for muscle injuries, as a cream that you apply externally by rubbing it into skin around sore muscles or joints.

Just putting it our the there, does sound crazy, I admit.

I just find the whole thing really funny, because context it everything. Maybe medical science has yet to understand the healing power of cheese.. but these professional athletes have some of the best medical professionals working on them when they are injured, and then our manager comes out suggesting a cheese-based remedy. Imagine the reaction from the medical staff at Fulham. They have medical degrees and years of experience with sports injuries... and then the boss suggests cheese. The outlandish comment trivialized the very real injury Brede was suffering and the work the medical staff was doing to help him regain fitness.

Over the past 10 years, 9th place has averaged 52.5 points and 8th place has averaged 55.4 points.

The highest point total over those 10 years was 59 points for 9th and 61 points for 8th.

The lowest was 46 for both 8th and 9th which both happened in 16/17.

General Discussion / Points for Europe

Last post by LC - Today at 07:16:33 PM

Starting a new thread as I like to be positive. How many points do we need for Europe? I think it's 58-60 points.

I think it's possible to finish 8th and get into the Europa Conference League which I absolutely would take. How many points for 8th?

If Raul continues to score I think we can do it. We certainly have the defence, it's just a case of whether we can continue to score.

After that horrific head injury just to head a ball again must have been a frightening ordeal. To actually play again even more so. Good luck to Raul.     

Agree. I think not every player would have had the will to keep banging around with PL CBs after that injury.
