A 5-0 win and Petric's hat-trick seemed indicating a smooth start for Fulham, but consecutive away defeats to Manchester United, West Ham, and even Sheffield Wednesday in Capital One Cup demoralised Martin Jol's side.

So, transfer deadline day is finally over and Fulham managed to secure three signings to add to
the team. Some quick thoughts on each one:
Dimitar Berbatov
Obviously the star signing of Fulham's transfer window. The loss of Moussa Dembele upset many
but the signing of Berba on a two year contract had most Fulham fans dancing a jig of delight.

The Daily Mail is reporting that Everton could turn to former Manchester United
midfielder Kieran Richardson this summer in a bid to bolster their squad. Richardson's future at
the Stadium of Light is in doubt after reportedly informing Sunderland management that he won't be
renewing his contract next summer, and would join the likes of Phil Neville and Tim Howard as
United alumni at Goodison Park.
West Ham manager Sam Allardyce is hoping that he will be able to persuade Joe Cole to make an
emotional return to the club after securing promotion to the Premier League at the first time of
asking.
Cole left the Hammers in 2003 to join Chelsea but is still a firm fan favourite after coming
through the academy at the east London club and going on to become a regular England player while
still with West Ham.
A bit of a break before the Monday FA Cup third round tie against Leeds United. After a hectic
last one week of football, it's a welcomed breather for the team. 7 out of 12 points from our last
4 games is not ideal but it isn't bad either. Could've been more had the team not collapse in the
last part of the Fulham game.
1. Mario Balotelli responded to his latest bout of controversy with a typical shrug of the
shoulders, but he put it to great effect on this occasion. 2. Feed the Yak some Venky's chicken and
he will score. 3. The 'Kean Out' protests are always likely to sound a tad more hollow after a 4-2

Deadline day in the European transfer window is upon us, making today one of the busiest and
wildest days of the year.
There have already been a number of moves completed or announced, and there should still be
plenty more surprises and signings before the day ends.
American fans will want to know about American payers and today we should find out where Clint
Dempsey will land after a dramatic summer with Fulham that should see him leave the club.
After going missing somewhere in Europe, Berba's been located and what's more he's gone and
signed a two-year deal with Fulham. That was close, we nearly lost him
there...
While we're on the subject, Fulham have also snagged Kieran Richardson from Sunderland on a
three-year deal (fee undisclosed).
I have woken up this morning all ready to give you a thorough breakdown of all the latest Arsenal
transfer rumours, but the first one I looked at was so laughable that I just had to write an
article on it! In an "Exclusive" in the Daily Mirror, a "reporter" by the name of James [...]
Hmmm, well that didn't go exactly as planned. My score prediction would about as wrong as Wayne
Rooney saying he is a fashion icon. Arsenal really did put in the effort on Saturday considering we
had over 70% possession, set up play well (thank you newboy Cazorla), and had a few very juicy
chances.
Arsenal's last hope of silverware disappeared without a trace after an abject FA Cup defeat on
Wearside.
The Gunners were aiming to get their season back on track following a dismal showing in Europe but
found a rejuvenated Sunderland in their way. Sunderland scored in either half to dump Arsenal out
of the cup and heap further pressure on Arsene Wenger after seven trophyless years.
Having been linked variously with Chris Samba, Scott Dann, Kevin Doyle and Kieran Richardson
over the last twelve months, it is quite understandable that's there has been a palpable sense of
excitement around Arsenal this week. The acquisition of Santi Cazorla represents the third signing
this summer that I have actually heard of.
Out of Arsenal, Chelsea and Inter Milan, who is having the worst season? It is easy to make a
case for all three but what is certain is that these traditional powerhouses are experiencing
terrible runs of forms and all three managers are facing increasing pressure.
So, out of two cup competitions in a week. Sadly it's an all too familiar feeling these days. We
looked for a reaction from Arsenal yesterday and the saddest part for me was that while we tried,
we just weren't capable of it.

It was a disappointing day for Chelsea and Arsenal fans in the FA Cup fifth round. Chelsea were
held at home by championship side Birmingham City while Arsenal's miserable week continued as they
lost 2-0 at Sunderland.
A week after an added time Thierry Henry goal have Arsenal a 2-1 win over Sunderland at the
Stadium of Light, Martin O'Neil's team gained their revenge to cap off a horrible four days for
Arsenal who were ripped apart at the San Siro in midweek.

Aged just 23, Bolton's Fabrice Muamba was pronounced dead for more than an hour after collapsing
on the pitch at White Hart Lane before doctors and paramedics were able to revive him back in
March.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3A57rFm8L04 With his heart stopping for more than an hour as
paramedics fought for his life last March, it seemed an impossibility that Fabrice Muamba would
rise again to walk, let alone kick a football. Fantastically, that very development has taken place
the Bolton defender has played the game for the first time since [.
It was a marvellous occasion. Late Spring 2007. Wednesday evening. The pitch was so green. Their
royal blue stood in marked contrast to our bright red. The stadium was sombre, all but for the 3000
man choir in the corner of the Shed End, singing to the man with orange skin and a silver puffa
jacket.
Last Premier League Meeting: 20 August 2011 – Liverpool 1-1 Sunderland (Suarez)
Form:
Liverpool: The Reds' league form recently has been nothing short of abysmal, with the club dropping
key points and all but falling out of the race for a Champions League spot.
It was another wild deadline day across Europe but two Premiership clubs made some of the
biggest splashes in the transfer market and they did so with some late signings.
Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City both made some last-minute acquisitions on hectic Friday
that not only surprised many, but also helped bolster their already-loaded rosters for the
Premiership campaign.
It is strange how different people react to the same events. Yesterday we had a tricky away
fixture against an in form Sunderland side who have a new manager, we lost 2-0 but it was a very
tight game, and genuinely could have gone either way. We had the better of the first half, but
Sunderland took the lead with a fortunate deflected goal from a speculative Kieran Richardson shot
from the edge
