Just Wondering…

If Clint Dempsey is the only Yank still playing for Fulham, are they still Fulhamerica? Should those of us who picked the Cottagers as our EPL team because we thought Deuce, Brian McBride, Carlos Bocanegra, and later on Eddie Johnson and Kasey Keller, were going to lead Fulham to glory be looking for another EPL side to support?

After last season’s thrilling escape from virtually sure relegation and today’s 1-0 upset of Arsenal, I’ve got to say that Yanks or no Yanks, the Cottagers have really grown on me. With no compelling reason to support any other EPL side, I’m going to stick with Fulham.

Who knows, maybe the Natural Born Finisher tears it up for Cardiff City, returns to the Cottagers, and helps Fulham avoid relegation again, or, better yet but much more unlikely, to a spot in the UEFA Cup tourney. Whether or not that happens, I’ll still consider Fulham to be the EPL side that I support.
