I think the victories against Stoke City and Crystal Palace have eased the pressure on manager Martin Jol.
The criticism against Martin was unfair anyway - it is far too early to think about putting someone else in charge. Fulham need time it takes months not minutes to get all the new players settled in as a unit. Martin will identify the new-boys strengths and weaknesses.
Six points will have made Craven Cottage a more enjoyable place to be around. Fulham can now go into their next game against Southampton full of confidence. Back-to-back wins will give the players the belief to create momentum.
Meanwhile, season ticket prices across the Premier League continue to rise. Clubs make the decision to raise prices, it is nothing to do with players. But I believe supporters who really love football will always turn up to watch a game regardless of cost.
Manchester United vs Fulham looks like an exciting prospect on November 2nd, but because I’m still playing football - I’m more likely to be at Craven Cottage for a Super Sunday game.
Every player at Fulham goes out and gives 100 per cent for the team no matter what their opinions are of the manager. Even footballers with other clubs interested in them will do their best to attract the best possible deal.
Rene Meulensteen would have been a great appointment to the Fulham backroom staff. He would have brought a great deal of experience from his time at Manchester United along with him. I’m currently taking my coaching badges, and I would love to return to Fulham one day as a coach - it’s something I can look forward to hopefully achieving in the future.
The Michael Jackson statue was a personal tribute by Mohamed Al-Fayed to a close friend. I was one of the players at Fulham, who were there when Michael came to watch one of the games.
I was privileged to have met him, and have my picture taken with him. Shahid Khan has decided to get rid of the statue, but in my opinion there is nothing wrong with showing how much a close friend meant to you. The chairman showed how much Michael meant to him in his own special way.
I would also like to mention the fantastic work done by a group called 92 Plus 1. They do fantastic work, and I was fortunate enough to get involved with them. I would urge members of the public to participate in any of their activities for Help The Heroes.
