1-1 at the half.

 

Played a pretty great game until the dying moments... I don't think he was beaten by Olise for the first 80+ minutes of the game and then gets beaten twice to give up FKs near the box. Was also the defender with the unfortunate deflection to put the ball in an easy scoring position for the game-tying goal. Also had a chance late to give a dangerous cross into the box but he over-hit it. 2-2. Fulham miss an opportunity as Palace steal a point late.

Lost among all the other BS - Fulhamerica, with two USMNT stalwarts anchoring the back line most of the season - end up 10th! in the EPL.

I'm too lazy to look, but who had them top 1/2 and finishing over Chelsea and West Ham in August - come collect your doorprize.

I just really wish Leeds could have scraped a win so they jumped Spurs.

 

Second best point total in top flight ever, by a single point. Well done to this squad.

 

No longer a yo-yo club.

 

Jedi needs rest. Could see he was wearing down in these last 10 games.

 

99 league appearances for Fulham. Will Robinson get to #100?

 

You jinxed them. Or I did by saying that. Ugh

 

For everyone looking to write off wingbacks/fullbacks after a Medicare season or two, I give you Herr Tete. Quite a season.

 

Newcastle might want him, but it will cost them:

Close to signing a contract extension with Fulham.

Yeah, I don't think it's going to be a great summer for Fulham. We will see - hope they prove me wrong. I would speculate that Antonee is in a "sign-and-sell" situation, but perhaps not. Would love to keep him at FFC.

 

A what??? This ain't the NBA.

 

Peter Rutzler (The Athletic reporter) with a couple more Fulham/Antonee nuggets this afternoon. Willian is also "close" to signing a new deal with Fulham and Robinson's contract would be for five years.

 

Craven the lifestyle, baby! As @thedukeofsoccer might say.

 

2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣8️⃣. ✍️@Antonee_Jedi has signed a new long-term contract with the Club.

Once he plays one more league match, Robinson will join McBride, Bocanegra, Dempsey, and Ream in the group of US internationals who have played 100 league matches for Fulham.

 

Yes, 291, 59 more than Dempsey.

Edit: This took me on a fun diversion that led me to the Every American in the Premier League Sporcle quiz. Eddie Lewis and Balogun aren't included, but the other 52 are.

 

Starts in friendly in Philly:

Will be a different squad for the season. Mitrovic as good as gone, Toisin making noise about a move, and who knows who else. Jimines brought in from Wolves, but he is a long way from a Mitro replacement.

 

It's going to be a tough season for Fulham, barring some miracle in the end of the transfer portal.
