New-boy Pavel Pogrebnyak opened his account for the Cottagers on Saturday against a Stoke City
side who are now desperately in need of a win.

Blackburn Rovers 3-1 Fulham Premier League 14th January 2012
Steve Kean watched his side produce a superb battling performance at Ewood Park on Saturday, a
performance which ultimately moved Blackburn out of the relegation zone for the first time since
September.
John Arne Riise hits back at Arsene Wenger over Johan Djourou red card
John Arne Riise has denied Fulham players deliberately tried to get Arsenal defender Johan
Djourou sent off. The Gunners looked set for a fifth victory in six away Barclays Premier League
matches until the home side's late comeback at Craven Cottage.
Here! Have some points!
It's easy to sit here and criticise, of course.
So here goes.
Why on earth did we sit back and (seemingly) play for a 0-0 draw against a fragile team who
let's face it we match up very well against?
When Swansea scored (a fluke, but a fluke that was absolutelydeserved) Fulham woke up and
attacked, and for half an hour gave Swansea a relative pasting.
Riise quiet on Suarez row
Fulham defender John Arne Riise has refused to condemn Luis Suarez for diving insisting it is
part of the game.

Riise and Bellamy meet again as Fulham's bunker mentality comes to the fore
It's a strange world when Michael Jackson's doctor gets four years and THAT sculpture of Jacko
gets a plinth at Craven Cottage. Fulham 1-0 Liverpool: Dempsey dumps 10-man Reds And it's an even
stranger anomaly that, just three weeks after Craig Bellamy and John Arne Riise finally settled
their differences, they should meet again.
Liverpool left-backs from past and present come face to face at Craven Cottage tonight, and whilst
John Arne Riise and Jose Enrique are both excellent players in their own right, who would you
choose at left back for Liverpool if you had to make a choice?
Enrique has been a success story at Anfield so far this season; unlike others, he settled in five
minutes after starting his first game for the club, and he's produced high quality performances
ever since.
Fulham v Liverpool – preview
THE REDS travel to West London for tonight's Premier League tie with Fulham and will be looking
for a win to move them up from 7th place in the table. Two former Reds could make appearances for
Fulham this evening – their captain Danny Murphy and recent signing John Arne Riise.
John Arne Riise was a fantastic player for Liverpool during his 7-year spell at the club, and fans
will always remember the brilliant goals he scored, especially 'that' unstoppable free-kick against
Man United in 2001. Tonight, Riise face his old club for the first time since he left Anfield, and
it's clear he still holds ol in very high rLiverpoegard.
Fulham defender John Arne Riise claims to have made peace with Liverpool striker Craig
Bellamy
Norwegian defender says he is looking forward to playing against the Reds' forward, with whom he
was involved in the infamous golf club incident that caused a stir at the time

Fulham defender John Arne Riise insists that he has no hard feelings towards Liverpool striker
Craig Bellamy.
During Bellamy's previous stint at Anfield, he was alleged to have attacked left-back Riise with a
golf club. At the time, both players were understood to have been fined two weeks' wages by the
Merseyside club.
This one's at the right end
The winning run came to an end. It was two points dropped on a day where Manchester United drew
with Newcastle, where a win would allowed us to close the gap to these two team at the least.
Sluggish is perhaps the best term to describe our performance last night.
Dalgish treats his players like family but even Carra and Stevie G know there's only one
boss
A manager's loyalty to his players is pretty much taken for granted. Kenny Dalglish takes it to
extremes. Had he been boss when Craig Bellamy took aim at John Arne Riise with a seven-iron,
Kenny would probably have given the Welshman a few swing tips.
Ah, how annoying, eh? A nearly flawless "away to Arsenal" performance only undone because Thomas
Verbloodymaelen decided to make amends for his earlier own goal, thus turning an away win into a
1-1 draw. Pah.
Fulham as the live commentators never stopped saying were very organised. Sometimes Fulham
players must feel a bit like Pamela Anderson here: well yes, thank you, but there's more to me,
really there is.
A plethora of streaks came to an end in today's Premier League action as Arsenal and reigning
champions Manchester United were held to home draws while under-pressure Chelsea finally won at
Stamford Bridge after back-to-back defeats in recent weeks.
In reality, though, the trend of streaks coming to an end started at Britannia, when Stoke City
ended a four-match slide with a 3-1 home win over the struggling Blackburn Rovers courtesy of goals
from Rory Delap, Glenn Whelan, and Peter Crouch.
The International break means there's little Fulham news to talk about. England did what they
needed to do and qualified for Euro 2012 but the press had a field day over Rooney's sending off.
How perfect for the British media that the man most in the spotlight should rise to the bait and
give them something to write about.

Michael Steele/Getty Images(Bleacher Report) News and speculation regarding a possible Liverpool
return for Manchester City outcast Craig Bellamy has been picking up more and more steam in the
last week.
Bellamy played one season on Merseyside for Rafael Benitez during the 2006-07 campaign when he made
41 appearances scoring nine goals for the Reds before parting ways in July 2010 to West Ham United
for a fee of £7.

West Bromwich Albion 0-0 Fulham Premier League 24 September 2011
These two sides have endured poor starts to the new Premier League season and this game was, in
keeping with those starts, a rather mediocre affair.
The Cottagers bossed the first half but couldn't find a way through the Baggies' defence while
in the second-half, Roy Hodgson's side looked far more accomplished but they also couldn't find a
goal.
Bellamy takes second chance to impress
Craig Bellamy's previous life at Liverpool is best remembered for his attempts to improve his
golf swing by taking a club to John Arne Riise on a team bonding exercise on the Algarve. Bellamy's
willingness to make life difficult for.
Craig Bellamy was Liverpool's last signing of an expensive summer after he landed at Anfield from
Manchester City on a free transfer.
But the Welshman's return to his former club was disappointing as the Reds registered their first
loss of the season to Stoke City, who are now a point above Liverpool in the Barclays Premier
League table in fifth place.
Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has no concerns about Craig Bellamy's bad-boy reputation.
The Wales international could make his debut in his second spell with the Anfield club against
Stoke on Saturday after returning on deadline day of the summer transfer window.
Bellamy's previous time at Liverpool lasted just one season in 2006/07, when ex-boss Rafa Benitez
decided a lack of discipline did not fit into his tactics.
Here's my mid-week attempt to assemble a squad for the upcoming weekend. The defence is largely
unchanged, with David De Gea, the wonderfully mellifluous Angel Rangel, and Matthew Briggs (though
John Arne Riise started and played an hour of Norway's 0-2 loss to Denmark yesterday). I have
brought in Armand Traore after his move to QPR.

The signing of Ruiz gives us an extraoardinary array of attacking talent. It means we can field
a combination of Zamora, Duff, Dempsey, Dembele and Ruiz, which you'd hope would suffice for our
needs. They can't all play, but even if we see three or four of them, their attacking instincts
need to be covered by someone to defend.
Premier League team news - ESPN Soccernet: There are a fair number of interesting line-up
machinations related to injuries, suspensions, and transfers. For all of the fantasy implications
for this weekend, here is everything you need to know: Aston Villa: Looks like Gabby and Heskey are
very likely to be healthy for the match against Wolves.
It occurs to me that the chairman's spending has come in bursts, and when Premiership survival
was under threat.

Liverpool plan shock return for Craig Bellamy and eye Sebastián Coates
• Reds happy to meet Manchester City forward's wages • Anfield side also interested in
Uruguayan defender Liverpool have moved ahead of Arsenal and Manchester City in pursuit of the
towering young Uruguay defender Sebastián Coates and are ready to offer Craig Bellamy a
sensational return to Anfield.
Yikes. A horror show from Fulham, the sort of performance that really causes fans to question
the team's direction, second league game of the season or otherwise. Wolves are a handy side, of
course, and were at home, but we'd expect to have given them more of a game. We'd expect to not
play so carelessly, so.
In the past five seasons, Liverpool have had only three fullbacks reach the thirty match mark
Steve Finnan and John Arne Riise played in 33 league matches apiece in the 2006-2007 season, and
Emiliano Insua made 31 appearances after being forced into regular duty in the 2009-2010 season.
Álvaro Arbeloa came close a few times, as has Glen Johnson since arriving, but it's been a tough
marker to reach for a Liverpool fullback.

Per the official:
The Club can confirm that defender Carlos Salcido has joined Mexican Primera División team
Tigres de la UANL on a season long loan.
When Salcido went the full 90 minutes in last week's USA-Mexico friendly, I knew he was a goner.
He never featured in any of the Europa League squads, nor in last weekend's EPL opener.
At 3-0 down in the legendary 2005 Cl final against AC Milan, things were looking extraordinarily
bleak for Liverpool. Somehow, the players found the self-belief, energy and confidence to take
control of the game and bring things level, but was it Steven Gerrard's goal or Vladimir Smicer's
goal that had the biggest galvanising effect on the players?
Liverpool FC have never replaced John Arne Riise who established himself as a...
A game that threatened to spring into life on a couple of occasions but, in the end, failed to
deliver.
We may be five weeks into our competative campaign but there was still a buzz surrounding the
opening league fixture. The sun was out and a clear run to the ground provided plenty of time for a
pre-game beer by the riverside.
The new 2011/12 Premier League season is finally here! It's the battle of the new managers at
Craven Cottage today, although Martin Jol does have several competitive games under his belt in the
Europa League.
Here are the confirmed line-ups for both sides:
Fulham Aston Villa 1 Mark Schwarzer 1 Shay Given 18 Aaron Hughes 2 Luke Young 14 Philippe Senderos
6 James Collins 5 Brede Hangeland 5 Richard Dunne 7 John Arne Riise 3 Stephen Warnock 16 Damien

Liverpool have finally signed Jose Enrique from Newcastle for a reported £6mill after months of
ongoing speculation. Fans are hopeful they have now found a player who is fit to fill the
troublesome left back position which no one has made their own since John Arne Riise was sold to
Roma at the end of the 07/08 season.
New first team squad numbers are out.
The curse of the 'proper' numbers continues, as John Arne Riise vacates the number seven shirt
recently not worn by Seol, Andranik, and... who had it last year (ed. Sidwell)? In any case, such
a prestigious number needs an equally prestigious owner, and Fulham simply haven't come up with
one.
It is no secret that we are in the market for an established left back. Kenny tried out a whole
bunch of lads in the position in the latter half of the 10/11 season, with Paul Konchesky, Fabio
Aurelio, Jack Robinson, Danny Wilson and Glen Johnson all being tested out.
In the absence of live football during the close-season, the avid football fan is kept
entertained by the bi-annual transfer merry-go-round where rumours of unlikely moves and bargain
buys are rife as each team looks to build on the past season.
This summer has been no exception and certainly hasn't disappointed.
