The 2007-08 season was Fulham Football Club's 7th consecutive season in the Barclays Premier League. Manager Lawrie Sanchez was in charge for the first few months of the season(after taking charge at the end of the last campaign) but left the club by mutual consent in December 2007, after a string of poor results (gaining only two wins all season),had sent Fulham sliding towards the relegation zone. He was replaced by ex-Finland coach Roy Hodgson, who had previously been in charge of fellow Premier League side Blackburn Rovers, as well as having managed around Europe. Fulham managed to save themselves from relegation to the Football League Championship 1-0 away win against Portsmouth at Fratton Park, their third straight away victory, despite wins for their relegation rivals Reading and Birmingham City, staying up on goal difference.[1]

[edit] Season Review
[edit] August
Fulham almost started the season off perfectly when they were ahead against Arsenal through a David Healy goal after 1 minute during the first weekend of the season, but Arsenal won the game in the last 10 minutes with goals from Robin Van Persie(pen) and Alexander Hleb. Fulham, though, did win their first home match of the season, in a midweek match against Bolton Wanderers, with goals from Healy again and Alexei Smertin, this time themselves coming from a goal behind after ex-Fulham striker Heidar Helguson's early goal. It would be several months before Fulham would experience another league victory. In their third game of the season, Fulham again experienced a turnaround, but this time the scoreline went against them. They were 1-0 up against Middlesbrough - Brian McBride scoring before being carried off injured - but they could not hold on to their lead and lost 2-1. But there was controversy about the result because, in the last minute, Healy had a clear goal not given as the referee or linesman could not see that the ball had crossed the line. The final league game of the month was against Aston Villa and, for a fourth game in succession, the team scoring the first goal failed to win. Fulham scored through Healy after 6 minutes, but two second half goals from Zat Knight and Shaun Maloney gave Villa victory.
[edit] September
After three agonising defeats in their first four games, Fulham felt that they deserved some luck and this came in the first game of September against Tottenham. Younes Kaboul and Dimitar Berbatov had put Tottenham in cruise control with two first goals before Dempsey replied for Fulham just before half-time. Gareth Bale extended Tottenham's lead on 61 minutes to 3-1 but Fulham amazingly managed to snatch a draw. Alexei Smertin's 77th minute goal and Kamara's bicycle kick in stoppage time gave Fulham a 3-3 draw.
In the next game away to Wigan it was the opposition that rescued the game late on. Dempsey gave Fulham the lead but Jason Koumas scored a penalty 10 minutes from time (after Bouazza's foul on Mario Melchiot gave Wigan a point that, in truth, they did not deserve. Another two draws followed in September. Firstly a 3-3 draw against Manchester City after throwing away a lead twice before having to eventually come from behind (Bouazza, Davies and Murphy scoring for Fulham, with the Manchester City goals from Martin Petrov (2) and Emile Mpenza). They followed that up by holding Chelsea to a 0-0 at Stamford Bridge.
In the Carling Cup, Fulham suffered a 2-1 home defeat against Bolton.
[edit] October
Fulham started October with a home defeat against Portsmouth, through deflected strikes by John Utaka (deflection off Bocanegra) and Hermann Hreidarsson's goal which deflected off Chris Baird past Kasey Keller, within two minutes at the start of the second-half. A week later against Derby County Fulham had their second goalless draw of the season in a game of few chances, and in truth Derby could have snatched the win.
The final game of the month saw Fulham, not for the first or last time that season, throw away a lead late on to drop points, with a 1-1 draw against Sunderland. Davies gave Fulham the lead in the first half and they held out until the 86th minute, when Kenwyne Jones was in the right place to score an equaliser for Sunderland.
[edit] November
Fulham started November with a 3-1 home victory against Reading. Davies put Fulham in front after 18 minutes but Kevin Doyle equalised ten minutes after the break. However, Fulham still managed to win the game with further goals from Dempsey and Healy, before Elliott Omosuszi was sent off in injury time, in only his second appearance, for a second yellow card.[2] Fulham were unlucky to lose in their next game away at Liverpool as Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard (penalty) both scored in the last 10 minutes for a 2-0 victory. It was very harsh on Fulham who had resisted the Liverpool pressure for the majority of the game.[3] The game was significant in the fact that Rafa Benitez named an unchanged side for the first time in a year.
After the international break, Fulham drew 2-2 with Blackburn having twice been in front through goals from Murphy (penalty) and Kamara but were then pegged back by Brett Emerton (57) and Stephen Warnock (79).[4]
[edit] December
As usual, December was a busy month for all the clubs, with matches crammed together at the end of the month and it turned out to be a very unsucessful period for Fulham as they took just 2 points from 6 matches.
[edit] January
[edit] February
[edit] March
[edit] April
April started with a 3-1 defeat at home against Sunderland, with second half goals from Danny Collins, Michael Chopra and Kenwyne Jones, even though Fulham had equalised through a brilliant David Healy goal from 30 yards out. Things improved the next week though as Fulham finally recorded their first away win since beating Newcastle in September 2006, against Reading at the Madejski Stadium, Brian McBride and Erik Nevland scoring the goals. It came as some relief to the long-suffering away support and put Fulham's survival bid back on track. However Fulham then suffered a home defeat against an under-strength Liverpool side despite the away side being focused on the Champions League game against Chelsea - Jermaine Pennant and Peter Crouch scored the goals for Liverpool. This defeat meant for most Fulham fans that relegation was looking almost certain - and if results would not go their way the following week, then they could be relegated.
The following week, on April 26 2008, Fulham gained a priceless three points away to Manchester City to record their second successive away victory. After falling behind 2-0 in the first half and heading down, the Whites fought back to score three goals in the last twenty minutes, culminating with a 92nd minute goal by Diomansy Kamara, his second of the game, coupled with a goal from a Danny Murphy rebound after missing a penalty.
[edit] May
On May 3rd Fulham were able to pull themselves out of the drop zone as Reading lost to Tottenham, and Fulham earned a vital three points with a win against Birmingham, who were one point above Fulham in the league table. This sent Birmingham to 19th position and Reading to 18th position, as Fulham leapfrogs both of them to 17th position as their goal difference was superior to Reading's. The goals came from McBride in the 52nd minute from a Jimmy Bullard freekick and Erik Nevland three minutes from time. Fulham's Premier League survival was in their own hands effectively going into the last game of the season - both Reading and Birmingham registered big wins yet Fulham survived on goal difference via a 1-0 victory away to Portsmouth from a Danny Murphy header.

More about European qualification:
a. The 6th-placed team will qualify for the UEFA Cup if Portsmouth beat Cardiff City in the FA Cup Final and finish 5th;
b. The highest-placed team who applies for the Intertoto Cup and does not finish in an automatic UEFA Cup spot will be awarded with a place in the Intertoto Cup. Everton, Aston Villa, Blackburn Rovers and Manchester City are the applicants for the Intertoto Cup;[5]
c. A further place in the UEFA Cup is available via the Premiership Fair Play League. The winner is placed into a draw with the winners of Fair Play leagues in other countries which score an average of over eight in Uefa Fair Play League except the top one will automatically receive one of the UEFA Cup berths. The representatives from the two countries that come out of the hat first are given a place in the UEFA Cup First Qualifying Round. If the team who finishes top of the Premiership Fair Play League has already qualified for Europe via the league, their place in the draw will be awarded to the next highest placed team in the Fair Play League who hasn't qualified for Europe;[6]
