I don't hate them but they do irritate me more than most teams. Fulham away is not a fixture I look forward to.


Ok trying to rationalise why I dislike them.

1) I don't like teams that play in white in general. I think white kits look tacky. <laugh>. Spurs, Fulham, Real, etc.

(Much prefer England in Red. Liverpool have never bothered me in white away kits. Actually think ours have usually looked OK)

2) As an Englishman in America who gets asked daily if I'm from "London" because I have an English accent and they can't differentiate a Northern accent from a London accent. I have grown to despise London. (Still beats being asked if I'm Korean, which still makes no sense to me)

3) The name "Fulham" sounds very bland and uninspiring.

4) Fulham badge is bland and uninspiring.

Ok. There's my rationalisation! That's the best I can do. <laugh>

Weird cos I much prefer white kits. Think they look nice and sleek and clean.
 
Best to start as strong as possible.

Winning is habit-forming, you want to start winning early.
When chasing down City
You have to win every game
It’s the only way
I know I am pessimistic but I remember saying when we blew the lead at Brentford that would be fatal
We need every single point
If drawing
Go for the win
Push city and anyone else every step of the way

I thought you'd been felt up by Jimmy Hill when a ball boy. (the beard was a dead giveaway wasn't it?)

My dislike is a bit ironic; they were the "next Blackburn" when they were bought by Mohamed Al Fayed and I didn't like it. I said ironic because recent purchases such as Man City and Newcastle never bothered me (Chelsea didn't initially but did when I saw the sums they were chucking out).

North or South?

I think sponsors and ads and various badges stand out more on them in many cases and frequently they end up just looking like bilboards...

... But it's not normally as big a problem on national team kits, they can look more clean as you say. (Although I still prefer colour there).
 
North or South?

She never specified. The woman that asked me if I was from Korea just said "Are you from Korea or something?"

I was too stunned to think of anything witty to respond. Scotland, Ireland, Australia, even South Africa, I'm used to questions if I'm from one of those places. (Interesting never Wales though). Korea though was just so "out there" it kind of stunned me... <laugh>
