Lost £46K in one night.
****

 

And was on £3k a week at the time. I know the numbers are inflated because it’s football but if I lost 15x my weekly wage in one hit I’d lose my ****. And that’s before you even consider the long term effects of addiction.

Woeful defending but still a nice goal to score

 

Onomah getting some rough words said about him on twitter, seems like Fulham fans are already fed up with him and he’s only been there for less than half a season.

Real shame. Said years ago the talent he had was mental yet he just cannot seem to bring it to the first team fold, think it must be a confidence issue, as if he freezes when at the top level and is afraid to do what he’s capable of. Think he’s going down the route of one of those players you’ll look back on in ten years time and say “he could’ve been great”.

Another Taarabt, Macheda or Michael Johnson it seems.

 

Yeah I know a few Fulham fans and its fair to say they're not overly enamoured of him. When he was smashing it for the England youth teams it seemed like he had all the talent in the world and it just goes to show that you never know until you see someone in senior football. Real shame.

 

What position is he playing in for them? Always seems to get shoved somewhere random, for some reason.

 

Can’t say for sure but some of the comments I was reading seemed to suggest he was playing as a deep lying mid. Which would suggest that yet again he’s not in his favoured role of attacking CM/ number 10.

 

I've just had a look and he's had one full match, playing deep midfield in a 4-2-2-2 (TF?) formation.
They lost 2-1 to Preston when their left-back, who isn't a left-back, got sent off just before half-time.
It was their last game.

He started away to Swansea, played in position in a 4-2-3-1 and they won 2-1. He got an assist for the winning goal.
He had one other start, where he was used in position and they lost 2-1 to Bristol. Everything else is a few minutes as a sub.

Great bit about telling his son he played with Harry Kane.

 

Marcus Edwards scored the winner for Vitoria away to Frankfurt, thereby handing Arsenal top spot. It's a funny old game.

 

Played yesterday in their 2-1 victory over Zaglebie, apparently:

 

A great way to spend three quarters of an hour in the presence of greatness...
