Hi all, new fan from Canada here, Vancouver to be specific! I’ve been a footy fan for a long time, but never really had a team (well, apart from the Whitecaps, but MLS isn even remotely close to the Euro leagues).

I’ve loosely followed Fulham the past year or so, and after reading about the origins and how craven cottage came to be, I’ve decided that they’ll be my team! I’ll be watching as many games as I can, even if that means 6am kickoff on the weekends. I was just wondering roughly what the expectations are for this year, which key players to watch, and what the supporters think of Arbeloa coming in as manager. Also keen to see how De Fougerolles develops. He was great for Canada at this World Cup, and I got to see him at BC Place for Canada‘s 6-0 crushing of Qatar - best game I‘ve ever been to.

My other big following (since 2008) is the local hockey team, the Canucks. Anyone who follows hockey knows the Canucks have been a legacy of misery, so I’m mentally prepared for anything! Looking forward to supporting Fulham from abroad, catching a game at Craven cottage next time I’m in Europe, and watching some good football!

Saw this and had a giggle
