Oh fuck me. The FA Cup is back.

Now, I'm not one of those EPL-centric, footballing-history-started-in-1992 type people. I just hate the FA Cup. I hate how misused the FA Cup is in terms of broadcasting (both online and televised).

Last March I wrote a post about how College Basketball's March Madness is presented in America.

Per the offal: "Fulham FC can confirm that Keanu Marsh Brown has today left the Club by mutual consent."

Never played a minute for the first team, but was on the bench for those memorable wins over Shaktar, Juventus; a few other random Europa Games. Had a pretty productive spell at MK Dons the second-half of last season, and even played a part in the Dons' playoff run.

David Stockdale started and made 6 saves in Ipswich Town's 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace. Last Tuesday he started and made 7 saves in Ipswich Town's 1-0 win at Portsmouth.

Bjorn Helge Riise did not dress in Portsmouth's 2-0 win over Barnsley. Last Tuesday he was an unused sub in Pompey's 1-0 loss to Ipswich.

David Stockdale started and made 11 saves in Ipswich Town's 2-2 draw at Cardiff on Saturday. On October 1 he started and made 7 saves in Ipswich's 3-1 win over Brighton.

Bjorn Helge Riise did not dress in Portmouth's 2-0 win over Barnsley on Saturday. He started and played 45 minutes in Portsmouth's 1-0 loss at Leeds on October 1.

In case you thought this list wasn't big enough, two more loaners to be added to the list. Bjorn Helge Riise recently joined Portsmouth on loan until the November 7. And turns out this fella named Richard Barroilhet joined Finnish club Vaasan Palloseura until October 31 way back in August.

Oops, missed two weeks worth of the loaner reports including mentioning a few new names added to the list. My apologies, but here's the full run down:

Lauri Dalla Valle and Keanu Marsh-Brown joined Dundee United on loan right before the summer transfer deadline. Rich wrote about Dalla Valle already, but Marsh-Brown joined the Scottish side on August 30.

Lauri Dalla Valle has been sent to Dundee United on loan. This might not mean much to you, but it's a nice reminder of days gone by for me.

(First things first, Dundee United play in orange-black-orange. If I started a team from scratch my team would wear these colours. I haven't thought about this seriously for about 25 years, but this was always my position on the matter: any football club I found would wear orange-black-orange.

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.

Decked out in their new, all-white home strip, a near full-strength Fulham team successfully got both their Europa League campaign and their 2011/12 season off to a winning start with a comfortable victory over Nes Soknar Itrottarfelag Runavik at the Cottage last night with goals from Damien Duff, Danny Murphy and Andy Johnson giving Martin Jol's side a 3-0 advantage going into the away leg against the Faroese part-timers.

Former Liverpool frontman set for Fulham debut - Fulham FC - Sport - Fulham Chronicle Yes, indeed... there is Premier League action! Well, of a sort. Fulham take on "Faroe Islands part-timers" NSI Runavik tonight in a Europa League qualifier. Let's hear it for the Fair Play rules! This is Martin Jol's first match in charge of Fulham and he'll be missing Carlos Salcido and Clint Dempsey who

Today starts College Basketball's March Madness. Sixty-eight teams due battle over the next few weeks in a tournament that makes the World Cup seem puny in terms of scale, (but not pageantry or importance or anything else, mind you). Today, there are 16 games going on. The same amount will be played tomorrow.

Some Loaner tidbits for you before we begin this Report: Neil Etheridge's loan at Charlton Athletic was cancelled today after he was an unused sub in the second game since arriving; and Courtney Harris' month-loan at Bromley FC ended on Friday.

We have another loaner to join the merry ranks! Blue-chip teenager Lauri Dalla Valle joined League One side Bournemouth last week on a one-month loan. He came off the bench in the 70th minute and scored a goal on his debut, 10 minutes in.

With news coming out that Paul Konchesky's move back to his former club Fulham is all but assured, it looks as though Liverpool will be saying goodbye to one more reminder of the short-lived Roy Hodgson era at anfield. This is, at least on the surface, good news, though it has been in the works in some form or another for a while now.
