Scotty Parker is livid that his team are being asked to play a football match. The game was originally cancelled at very short notice, just a few hours before kick-off. Fulham last played on Saturday, which by my CSE grade 3 mathematics, means they’ll have had 3 days to recover, which in professional football, played by grown-ups, is quite normal. Fulham, or rather Parker, forgets himself here. The original tie was postponed because our fellow Londoners could maintain controlled environments for their playing staff. Coronavirus outbreaks at Fulham mothballed this match.
The quotes from Parker to the BBC are extensive and heavily based upon the ‘pity me’ school of feeble excuses. The reality of the situation is that Fulham are in a world of pain, 18th in the Premier League and are perhaps looking for situations that have been thrust upon them as to why they are in so much trouble.
If this all Parker has in his managerial locker in January, then Fulham Football Club may well be snookered.
The Arse impressing you mate? Did you like that Terry Henry guy too? Fuck all of them. I used to be a fan of Aubamayang before he became a gooner.. Despise him now. And its great he can’t seem to find the net for love or money.
Arsenal are rubbish mate…. The invincibles were class, but it even grates me to praise that french lot. Plus Judas was a part of them.. I hope that winning run stops with Palace. Harsh maybe … But ‘we hate arsenal’ at the end of the day.
Or I do at least.
I’m really impressed with him
Totally.
As was I actually. At least a little half hour
And on a free !
A tad harsh when expecting them to beat Palace (a) on Thursday, gathering some momentum, currently 6 pts behind Spurs, they are on a winning run!!
They are a full squad of albatross mate. A flock of birds. 23points from 17games. Spam are above those mugs.
How full backs should perform!!!
Artetta would also be wise to make Tierney captain!
He has been the albatross hanging around the club plus their expensive flop Pepe. However Arsenals changing fortunes has coincided with the emergence of their talented crop of youngsters not least Sakko and the mature Emile Smith-Rowe who surely looks destined for an England career playing alongside Grealish makes for exciting times on the England front.
Another unsung hero whom I am convinced would have done a super job for Spurs is the impressive tireless James Milner!
I fully concur with your sentiments. Not for want for trying that we did not secure Parker in his mid 20s as we were pursuing him for a while when he was released by Chelsea but he opted for Newcastle Utd instead!!
Aye it was a shame we had Parker in the twilight of his career. He could play that holding role as good as anyone.. Hojberg but with a better range of passing.. Scotty could tackle hard, break up play and distribute forward quickly. He read the game well. Shame we couldn’t get him in earlier, mid 20s rather than mid 30s.
Three days is fine.. I know footballs demanding but there are amateurs and semi pro players up and down the country who play Saturday AND Sunday leagues… No rest.. And most of these guys pay to play..
😂 The Turk is 32 going on 50 years old…350k a week as well…. He already is ‘playing for us’.. Or doing us a favour at least… That would pay two of our top players wages.. Good work Oz..
Whilst hardly called twinkletoes, that accolade of course belonged to Modric but undeniably both ex Spurs midfielder Scotty Parker and Modric formed a hugely productive axis at the time with Parker “sitting” and probing Modric weaving his magic. Notwithstanding the blogs critique I admire quietly spoken Parker’s managerial style illustrated by his steely feisty approach to the game resulting in Fulhams improvement on the field.
I see that Mezut Ozil said he’d rather retire than play for Tottenham. I thought he’d already retired! What a bargain for Arsenal though, £350,000 a week and you still get the same indefatigable work rate as when he was playing … none! The only player who could make West Ham signing Jack Wilshere look like a good deal!
Very surprised he wasn’t in the side against Marine.
Under 18s too easy for him
Oh yeah
Dane Scarlett bangs in 5. 🌚
It was a CSE!
You forgotten why the original game was cancelled Scotty?
Just had a quick peep. “GCSE started in 1987
I know you’re fine wine like myself (dust on the bottle= grey hair🌚
GSE you mean. 🌚
He was known as the ballerina in the dressing room
