toe_punt Posted 15 August, 2012 Share Posted 15 August, 2012 He's American.... Having lived in the U.S. for the last thirty years I often wonder why Brits have this sense of superiority. Strange...... To be fair to the Fulham guy, what did he say that was inaccurate? We will struggle mightily with our current defence, and it's almost too late to strengthen.

Turkish Posted 15 August, 2012 Share Posted 15 August, 2012 Well, what of it ? If I ever see him I'll iron him out. As that is highly unlikely to happen I'll just have to be content with telling him exactly what I think of him and what I'd do to him from behind my keyboard.

RobM Posted 15 August, 2012 Share Posted 15 August, 2012 Dormant means not active or not growing, so if this very forum is to be believed, that's correct. This forum tells us our transfer activity is poor and we'll struggle this season, it tells us it's just the same as it was two years ago and it tells us we haven't done well enough in pre-season. Seems like the Fulham fan agrees with that sentiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkish Posted 15 August, 2012 Share Posted 15 August, 2012 Fulham have spent £0 this window They are still my most hated club. Don't they have any long term injured players to return, like we have in Lee, that will be just like having a new signing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearsy Posted 15 August, 2012 Share Posted 15 August, 2012 That's what's so arrogant bout them, they think they don't need to spend big £ on Championship players or have returning injured players that will be just like having new signings. They think even without all that they're still better than dormant clubs like Southampton! (Their manager is cool tho!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyer Posted 16 August, 2012 Share Posted 16 August, 2012 Fulham are now my most hated club. Arrogant fans. All you have to do is mention their away support if you want to shut them up, they sometimes struggle to take 3 figures in games north of the midlands.

JPTCount Posted 16 August, 2012 Share Posted 16 August, 2012 interesting but these are just a view from a fan from each club, rather than fans. and I didn't read past arsenal tbh, not a fan of coloured text. it looks like a young girl wrote it with her new collection of gel pens.

OldNick Posted 16 August, 2012 Share Posted 16 August, 2012 I thought the Fulham fan was correct. There are not many teams that I would feel confident that we can beat and so stay up. Initially i felt we were going to buy a few players and strengthen, sadly that has fallen away and hence we may do poorly. NA's job is under threat IMO and perhaps the club is keeping its powder dry.

AussieDog Posted 16 August, 2012 Share Posted 16 August, 2012 If the Championship is that poor that we need to replace virtually our whole team upon promotion, as several vociferous posters would claim, then how come the 3 relegated premiership teams don't all get promoted the following year?

The9 Posted 16 August, 2012 Share Posted 16 August, 2012 If the Championship is that poor that we need to replace virtually our whole team upon promotion, as several vociferous posters would claim, then how come the 3 relegated premiership teams don't all get promoted the following year? Because they often lose key players to Premier League clubs on relegation (though it is happening less now due to the bigger parachute payments).

Not a dormant CLUB, just being dormant in the transfer market compared to Reading and West Ham. Though Reading haven't actually signed many for a while either.

Flyer Posted 17 August, 2012 Share Posted 17 August, 2012 Heres a QPR view on Saints and all teams, its worth reading the last line for every team.

jjsaint Posted 17 August, 2012 Share Posted 17 August, 2012 Wow all this Fulham hating! How can you hate a club that call themselves 'the Cottagers'!! Anyway they should be looking at their own club - especially if they sell Dempsey. I imagine like their nickname they'll spend most of the season in the bottom area.
