This Friday, David Moyes' Everton will take on Martin Jol's Fulham in England's 141 year-old FA
Cup. The tournament's glorious historical significance will play stage to a battle that many
Americans will be keen to observe: that of Everton's on-loan forward, Landon Donovan, versus
Fulham's leading scorer, Clint Dempsey both Americans.

Games come thick and fast at this time of the year and this
evening's match against Fulham follows hot on the heels of Saturday's one nil win at home to
QPR.
Founded in 1879 Fulham Football Club are the oldest professional
team in London.
On Monday December 26th, Boxing Day in England, Clint Dempsey scored his 6th goal of the 2011-2012
Barclay Premier League campaign. The American who is about to start in his 5th season with Fulham,
has clearly learned a thing or two during his time in the Premiership. He's improved his overall
play, especially his defensive [.

for the year ended 30 June 2011. The Cottagers have also revealed a record revenue of £77.1m for
the last season.
Fulham recorded a profit of £5.4m, before interest and taxation, and enjoyed a 4.
The problem with football is that issues that would ordinarily go away of their own accord tend
to get magnified and therefore linger. Martin Jol's Fulham side have attracted more off-field press
than any other in memory, but on the pitch there are signs that things aren't all bad. Results have
not been from the top drawer, but nor have they been terrible: we're well within the bounds of
reasonableness.
Per the official:
What a strange man Mark Hughes is. Sacked by Manchester City, he was becoming a forgotten man
when I rescued him to become manager of Fulham Football Club.
Even when results were bad, I did not put pressure on him. I gave him every support financial,
moral and personal.
Per the offal:
Fulham Football Club is delighted to confirm the signing of Pajtim Kasami on a 4 year deal for
an undisclosed fee which will see the player at Fulham until the summer of 2015.
At 6′ 1″ (erm sorry, 1.87 m), Kasami is our second-tallest midfielder behind Dickson
Etuhu, and only behind Hangeland, Etuhu and Senderos as far as outfield players go.
Olly Dale, the former commercial operations director for Fulham Football Club has been recruited by
Fenway Sports Group (FSG), the company that owns Fulham's Premier League rivals Liverpool.
FSG, who acquired Liverpool Football Club in October 2010 for US$475 million under the name of New
England Sports Venture (NESV), has appointed Dale as its UK-based senior vice president for
international sales at its sports sponsorship sales company Fenway Sports Management (FSM).
It took twelve months but Fulham have finally hired Martin Jol as their manager. Jol signed a
two year deal worth a reported £1.5million-a-year plus bonuses.
A year ago Fulham wanted to hire Jol after Roy Hodgson left for Liverpool. but Ajax would not
release him. Ajax was no longer an obstacle as Jol quit Ajax in December of last year.

Perhaps it was inevitable that it would come to this in the fullness of time. The worlds of
football, celebrity and cloying sentimentality have been slowly moving towards each other for the
last ten years or so. At Craven Cottage this afternoon, though, a nadir has been reached. There is
so much wrong with the statue of Michael Jackson that now stands, some might say creepily, outside
Fulham's ground that it is difficult to know where to start, even if we allow for Mohammed Al
Fayed's friendship with the late singer, chimpanzee maintenance man and moonwalker.
MOTD2: Fulham: Behind The Scenes from Bilet on Vimeo.
Fulham's Craven Cottage is one of my favorite grounds in the Premier League. So much history and
so much class. So it was a wonderful treat today to come across this behind-the-scenes video I
uncovered which takes the BBC MOTD2 viewers into the places at Fulham that an average punter would
not be able to see.
It's now time to get down to the real and important business of playing at Fulham Football Club
tonight. After all the hullabaloo with the Carroll affair, the real business of getting on with
things begins in earnest tonight at Craven Cottage, and it's not going to be an easy game for the
in-form Newcastle [.
Eighty four years ago, the BBC brought forth onto Britain a new and revolutionary way to
experience football. On January 22nd, 1927 a football fixture with live commentary was broadcasted
for the very first time.
The honors of this inaugural and groundbreaking event were bestowed upon Arsenal who hosted
Sheffield United in a Division One fixture.
The third round of the FA Cup kicks off this Saturday. For many soccer fans, myself included,
it's one of the best weekends in the year when you get to see several teams you normally don't see
do battle against the giants of English football. Saturday's FA Cup coverage kicks off with Arsenal
at home against Leeds United, and many eyes will be watching to see if Leeds can beat Arsenal like
they defeated Manchester United last season in the same tournament.
