The beauty of football

[JoelH5]

The beautiful thing is, at the end of this season, we can wipe the slate clean and start afresh. This season has pushed me to the closest I've ever been to just stop following for the season. The beauty is, next season is a new start and we can forget this dross. I just hope Tony and Co. have learnt their lesson or things will get very interesting.

Hope will not win games.
The only way we can wipe the slate clean, and have a fresh start is to off load the owners son, before he wrecks next season.

It's not going to happen. Sadly it looks like he will be in charge of football matters for a very long time.

Someone should explain to TK that the art of management is not necessarily being able to do things well, but to make sure that you employ highly capable people to do the main roles. Because if they are not highly capable, that is your responsibility. Because you can't tell the difference.

I don't really know how the decision making process works at our club, but clearly not well enough. That is something that has to be addressed. If the lesson hasn't been learnt, then we are in big doo-doo, not just now, but next season as well. 

Not really enjoying the "beauty of football" at the moment.

I thought i 051 would know that having accumulated a fortune in his business operation. Interesting SK does not let TK anywhere near the money making part of the empire

After all these years of following Fulham from the top division down to the bottom and  back again, I'm thinking of giving up -the emotional toll is too much at my age.

This season has seemed particularly tough. Afte witnessing the incredible win at home to Brighton, with hopes raised, then the bitter disappointment of Palace, I went down to West Ham, to seee us , again, take an early lead, as I had done at Burnley - and we lost both games!

Gutting. How much of this can a person take? This  is supposed to be something we do for enjoyment, spend a lot of money on.

Well Ray Smith I salute you and your endeavour to follow Fulham through thick and thin, and beyond, and yes it does take its toll, and inevitably it wears you down.
If it changes from a pleasure to a chore, then you find yourself questioning why you are putting yourself through this ordeal, and it's become an expensive ordeal also.
But then again you may feel you will miss it, and the pull becomes stronger again.

This is a question I've asked myself many times this season. Aren't I supposed to be following Fulham as it's enjoyable/improves my life? This season it certainly hasn't been but I don't think I can just stop following. Personally I'm making an effort to get more hobbies so my life isn't family/work/football. If I've got more things to enjoy and be interested in, hopefully the defeats won't hurt as much. That's the plan anyway.

I've taken up carp fishing again but sadly don't want to fish weekends, so I might have to put up with another season of watching us play, won't be so bad if we just compete and the players wear the FFC badge with pride! Another season like this 1, I might take up bowls at weekends!!

Another season like this and I shall take up knitting.

This is it, you live in hope, old habits die hard, not a single Fulham fan has seen a League away win this season, yet fans keep travelling, but financially there is a limit, as well as emotionally, only three more away matches left. Watford, Bournemouth & Boscombe, Wolverhampton Wanderers.

That's just not true....you CANT wipe the slate clean.. any stats are recorded in history and memory!!..
Some of the worst stats achieved in Fulham history.. based on.. stats!!

[Woolly Mammoth]

Stats is the boil under the armpit of Association Football.

Tony Khan is the sticking block and being the owners son it won't change!
