Not Fulham Related But I Wanted To Pass This Info On

Saturday, 26 January 08, 12:56 PM

I know some of you who visit "Jason's Cottage" also visits my other blog, Try Gol. That blog covers both rugby & soccer news. Well anyways, the previous URL to that site was http://trygol.wordpress.com but within 24 hours, that will change.

The new URL will be www.TryGol.com. For the time being, that address will point to my current Wordpress.com blog but I'm switching everything over in the next month to my own web space. It will allow me to create a bigger & better blog in my opinion, as I'm a bit limited at the moment.

Now "Jason's Cottage" will remain unchanged. I will still use this blog for the Fulham specific posts from TryGol.com. I've met some cool people here at OleOle.com and want to keep the Fulham specific blog right here.

So again, bookmark www.TryGol.com as that URL will be live within the next 24 hours.

Fulham vs Arsenal

Friday, 18 January 08, 10:47 PM

Source: Try Gol

Roy Hodgson & the boys need a win as badly as I need a full week away from work. In other words…badly. It won’t come easy tomorrow when the Gunners invade Craven Cottage.

Fulham enters the derby match sitting in 19th place and even with a victory, they won’t be able to climb out of the relegation zone just yet. Arsenal sits at the top of the table wtih 51 points a long side Man U. On paper, you would say that the Whites have no chance in hell tomorrow. Well to that I say, games are not played on paper…and that you are probably right.

I’m going to throw out 2 predictions for this game, what my heart tells me and what my brain tells me. Let’s start with my heart. It’s been a very exciting week at the Cottage. Brede Hangeland was signed, Marlon King is close to signing and Eddie Johnson may get his work permit next week, which would allow him to sign. Brian McBride is back training with the first team and Jimmy Bullard will make his first start of the season on Saturday. Many positives! Perhaps Fulham can harness all this positive energy and shock the Gunners tomorrow. My heart says Jimmy scores twice and Fulham hangs on for a 2-1 victory!!! COME ON YOU WHITES!!!

Snap back to reality. I feel Fulham will be up for this match and it will remain close for most of the match. Arsenal is just too strong. My brain tells me Arsenal wins 2-0.

Perhaps we can meet in the middle and share the points tomorrow? I’d take that. Get a good look at the team tomorrow and take a picture, because the starting 11 should look much different when Fulham travels to Bristol on Tuesday for their FA Cup replay.

Playing well versus Arsenal will give our boys a confidence boost. The “new look” Cottagers will finally break their away losing streak on Tuesday and then the march towards escaping the drop zone begins.

For those living in the United States, the match is live tomorrow morning at 10pm ET on Fox Soccer Channel.

Johnson To Be Signed Today?

Friday, 18 January 08, 10:07 PM

We’ve all been in a state of limbo this week when it comes to Eddie Johnson being signed to Fulham. Some people felt that perhaps Johnson was just being used as a bargaining tool to eventually land Marlon King from Watford. I’ve also read where the hold up has to do with Eddie obtaining a work permit, which would make sense because if I remember correctly, Clint Dempsey had a bit of a hold up last season for similar reasons.

Well today I checked out the Daily Mirror and it was mentioned there that Eddie Johnson would be signed for a 2 million pound transfer fee and work permit issues were being worked out. So I suppose the bottom line is, It looks like there is a very good chance I will get my wish and Eddie will join best buddy Clint at the Cottage.
