Vincenzo Montella L’Aeroplanino t-shirt from Tshirts365

January 24th, 2007

Italian striker Vincenzo Montella is well on his way to becoming a cult figure at Fulham after three goals in three substitute appearances. And where there’s a cult figure there usually follows a TShirts365 tshirt. Voila! This airline-style top is a reference to Montella’s aeroplane goal celebration and accompanying nickname ( ‘L’Aeroplanino’). Click here to [...]

Free travel to football matches

January 22nd, 2007

Fans who have experienced the thrill of an away match will know how addictive it is. The trip down, the pre-match pints in a strange pub, being in a strange ground. It’s like a holiday with a football match stuck in the middle of it! However, loads give it a wide berth because they can’t [...]

Are Fulham the most exciting side in the Premiership?

January 18th, 2007

When I think of Fulham, it’s usually a dismal traveling support and uninspired football that springs to mind. However, that may not be the case this season as Fulham are, quite obviously, the most entertaining team on the planet. Why?  Let’s look at the stats from the Fulham’s last half dozen games. 25 goals in [...]

Kit Parade: U-S-A!

January 5th, 2007

Fulham fans can celebrate Craven Cottage’s new status as the American Embassy by snapping up the USA national team shirt. With Clint Dempsey having agreed a move to join Brian McBride and Carlos Bocanegra, and Chris Coleman still keen on Oguchi ‘Gooch’ Onyewu, west London is becoming a home-from-home for exiled Yanks. The retro-style shirt [...]

Fulham close in on Roma’s Vincenzo Montella

January 4th, 2007

Fulham are close to completing a six-month loan deal for Italian striker Vincenzo Montella. The 32-year-old is expected to finalise the move later today. Nicknamed Little Aeroplane in honour of his aviation-themed goal celebration, Montella cost Roma €25 million when they bought him from Sampdoria in 1999. Although he has struggled with injuries in recent [...]

Fulham ‘keeper cleared of serious injury

January 2nd, 2007

I normally have a little whince when there is a horror injury in football, but I’m strong of stomach and watch on largely unflustered. However, that changed yesterday when I screamed like a girl when Antti Niemi fell on his neck and went all wrong-ways. Well, after being aghast at the whole thing, I was thrilled to hear that he’s been released from hospital after doctors cleared him of any spinal injuries…

Everton want to swap Lada for Rolls Royce (or at least Simon Davies for Luis Boa Morte)

December 4th, 2006

Sneaky Everton are apparently trying to con Fulham into swapping Luis Boa Morte (the Cottagers’ skipper and talisman) for Simon Davies (mediocre Welsh midfielder). The Mirror reports that the Toffees want to exchange £8 million-rated Boa Morte for Davies, a player they paid an over-inflated £4 million for last year. You have to wonder whether [...]

November 9th, 2006

Lord Stevens is being urged to name innocent clubs today that are not involved in his bungs investigation. Several club chairmen will put their case at a meeting today, arguing that their clubs have been tainted by accusations after Lord Stevens announced that there were a total of eight clubs and 39 deals under investigation.

http://eur.news1.yimg.com/eur.yimg.com/ng/sp/empics/2536845 The FA has launched investigations into the two coin-throwing incidents at the West Ham/Arsenal and Fulham/Everton matches that took place over the weekend.

Volzy still loves David Hasselhoff

October 25th, 2006

Fulham‘s Moritz Volz has been trying to move away from his reputation as the Hoff’s number one fan. High profile media coverage of his obsession plus the fact that Hasselhoff is now the public face of Fulham’s sponsors Pipex led to Volzy distancing himself from his idol. In his 5 October diary entry, a moody [...]

Moritz Volz gives himself food poisoning

October 21st, 2006

We leave Volzy alone for a couple of weeks and he ends up poisoning himself. According to his latest diary (or should that be diarrhea) entry on the lengendary Volzy.com, a homemade pumpkin and prawn soup disagreed with the Fulham full-back on Tuesday night. He said: "I’m never going through a night like I did [...]

10 Most Underrated Players in the Premiership

October 17th, 2006

10 Emanuel Pogatetz (Middlesbrough)If you want commitment and the odd leg-breaking tackle, ‘Mad Dog’ Pogatetz is your man. Middlesbrough’s Austrian defender ‘never, ever gives less than 300%’ in games, according to former Boro coach Steve McClaren. Pogatetz is a versatile defender and can play at centre-half, as he has done this season, or left-back. He’s [...]

Michael Brown’s nasty tackle on Ashley Cole. The boy’s got form

September 25th, 2006

Fulham‘s Michael Brown was fortunate to escape without a red card after a nasty tackle on Ashley Cole on Saturday (was that an Arsenal fan muttering something about karma?!). It now seems certain he will not face any further action for the challenge. There is no need for a News of the World exclusive a [...]

Fulham top of the Premier League!

September 20th, 2006

Fulham fans, rejoice! Your team is currently top of the Premiership injury league, with an impressive eight players stuck on the physio table! They are: Boa Morte (fractured cheekbone), Christanval (knee), Bouba Diop (thigh), Bullard (knee), Elrich (knee), Milsom (back), Pembridge (calf), Elliott (calf). Boa Morte’s cheek injury means Fulham knock Charlton off the top [...]

Miserly Moritz Volz fleeces his Egyptian mate

September 13th, 2006

We love a football nutter here at Pies. Barmy Fulham defender Moritz Volz is one of our favourites – probably second only to Ian Holloway, in fact. While some of football’s more compliant characters were partaking in a spot of international football last week, Volzy went on a holiday to Egypt.

Fulham’s Jimmy Bullard out for the season with knee injury

September 13th, 2006

The Who Ate All The Pies campaign to get Jimmy Bullard into the England squad is over quicker than you can say: "Ouch, Scott. Please get off my knee." Fulham‘s chimney sweeping midfielder is likely to be out for the rest of the season after scans revealed damage to the cruciate ligament sustained when he [...]

Michael Brown’s two footed lunge at Giggs

August 29th, 2006

Tis the season for horror tackles and related. Ben Thatcher, a name not known to most before this week. Roy Keane (lord of the horror tackle) in managers job. And the newest to the fray, Michael Brown. Little Brownie has been involved in a few terrible tackles, and his latest came against ManYoo… or to [...]

Is Michael Brown the new Ben Thatcher?

August 26th, 2006

I still haven’t seen video footage of Michael Brown’s stamp on Ryan Giggs, but Fulham fans tell me it was bad – although not as bad as Ben Thatcher’s forearm smash. Fergie is certainly pissed off about it. It’s not the first time Brown has been the perpetrator of a dodgy tackle. Is he the [...]

Scholes video – just for Fulham fans

August 9th, 2006

Just for all you Foolham fans out there who had their fingers crossed about Rooney and Scholes suspensions, here’s what you could have been missing. Enjoy. Although you could see this too… not enjoyable at all…(NSFW) Mof Gimmers

One to watch: Jimmy Bullard, Fulham

August 4th, 2006

Jimmy Bullard is a great midfielder. As Kevin Keegan might say, he’s full of ‘legs and energy’. Don’t know how Wigan let him leave for Fulham, but Chris Coleman is obviously delighted with his new signing. Bullard is also a nutter (not a hardman, just a mad English ‘character’), as this YouTube clip of him [...]

Moritz ‘Volzy’ Volz’s most excellent website

August 2nd, 2006

From Moritz Volz‘s awesomely entertaining website, Volzy.com: ‘Here’s a bit about me – I LOVE Little Britain and Only Fools & Horses. Del Boy is a legend. I spend as much time as I can riding around the streets of Fulham on my folding bike. The folding bike should be an Olympic competition by the [...]
