We review the match, which saw three lovely goals from the Whites, and quite a bit of ropey defending on both sides.

Finally, we look at all the latest transfer rumours - including the Mitro saga's newest twists and turns, plus more positive rumours about potential deals for Calvin Bassey, Mohammed Salisu and Raúl Jiménez.

It's turning out to be quite the depressing window. In today's FFC transfer show, we look at Al-Hilal's move for Aleksandar Mitrovic, who appears to have had his head turned by the Saudi Arabian club. Is there any hope of Mitro staying at the cottage? We also look at Marco Silva's continued link with the middle east, before discussing Willian's apparent contract renewal at Fulham. Finally, we end by discussing Calum Hudson-Odoi potentially joining the club, and the other rumours doing the rounds.

During Mohamed Al-Fayed’s early tenure at Fulham, it was fairly normal him to bring in a new exotic name to Craven Cottage. In April 1999, he really went one step further by bringing him to our Division Two match against Wigan Athletic. Michael Jackson’s solitary visit to the cottage had such a profound effect on Al-Fayed that after his death in 2009, he decided to honour the late king of pop, with a statue in tribute at the Hammersmith End. In today's Fulham Folklore, we look back at the series of events that lead to a 7ft 6 inch model of MJ being installed at Cottage, and the resulting curse that his removal lead to.

The 29th April 2010 is a famous night for Fulham FC, as the Whites booked themselves a European final. Roy Hodgson and his squad wrote themselves into the history books that night, but so did the man behind the mic… In this next edition of Fulham Folklore, we look back at that famous Hamburg commentary by Peter Drury, and speak to the man himself about it. We also celebrate some other iconic FFC commentary moments from down the years.

So far this transfer window, the narrative has been much more about who might leave Craven Cottage rather than who might join. One individual that we probably didn't expect to be swayed was Marco Silva, but this weekend it was revealed that Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal offered Marco a staggering £17m per year deal. We ask whether Marco will be tempted away or whether his ambitions will keep him in England. Also in this episode, we discuss Willian and Manor Solomon's likely exits from FFC. Finally, we get around to chatting about some players who might join Fulham, with Calum Hudson-Odoi and AS Roma's Roger Ibanez on the agenda.

Finally, we react to the rumours that Willian won't be signing a new contract with the club.

Rene Meulensteen may have spent only two and a half months in charge of Fulham, but he packed more drama into that spell than many managers do in years. Welcome to the inaugural Fulham Folklore, where we look at iconic Fulham players, moments, managers and seasons. And we start today, with arguably the birth of Fulham’s banter era. Late goals, annihilating defeats, impromptu badminton matches and even a transfer chase for 2013’s bad boy of football. In this episode, Sammy, Drew and Farrell take a trip down memory lane, to Fulham's 13/14 relegation campaign to chart what went wrong for Rene, and whether his sacking on Valentine's Day was harsh or fair.

In this inaugral edition of the FFC Transfer Show, we look at the rumours swirling about which Fulham players will leave this summer. Joao Palhinha, Tosin Adarabioyo and Manor Solomon are all subjects of speculation, but is there any substance to them? We also look at the Willian contract situation, and whether he will look to hold out for a longer deal. There's less movement on the incoming front, but still a few bits to get our teeth into. We assess whether long-term target Justin Kliuvert might happen, and whether Fiorentina's Igor would suit Fulham, despite his Conference League final gaffe.

Double heartbreak. For the second game running, Fulham lost a point late on, as Alejandro Garnacho scored a 93rd minute winner for Manchester United in the final game before the World Cup.

What a heartbreaking way to lose a football match. Erling Haaland's late penalty snatched the points for Manchester City following Kevin De Bruyne's extremely exaggerated reaction to Antonee Robinson's challenge.

We famously don't get many 0-0 draws at Craven Cottage, and whilst they're never very fun, Saturday's stalemate against Everton was not short of chances or talking points. In this episode we react to Fulham's slightly wasteful nature in front of goal, and discuss the two key refereeing incidents, which also were honours even between the two sides. In part two, we get stuck into some questions about Harry Wilson's performances, the effect of the looming World Cup and the scarf revolution in SW6.

It's not very often we say this, but on Saturday, Fulham have the opportunity to make it three consecutive wins in the Premier League. In our way are Everton, who have had a mixed start to the season, but looked very impressive in their most recent outing against Palace. We look at the key men for the Toffees, and the selection headaches Marco Silva might face. In part two, Sammy chats to Edie Kelly, goalkeeper for the Fulham Women's team, ahead of the reformed side's debut at Craven Cottage in November. They also discuss what the ambitions are for the side, and their FA Cup run which sees them travel to third tier Watford in the coming weeks. Finally, we have some questions about Marco Silva's reunion with Everton, and a debate about who would win in a game between Hodgson's Europa League heroes or Silva's current side.

Pinch us. Fulham picked up their fifth win of the season on Sunday, a magical 3-2 victory at Elland Road to haul the Whites up to seventh in the Premier League. We react to everything that happened in the game, from Leeds' fast start, to our meticulous gameplan that saw the boys break Marsch's press time after time. We wax lyrical over Harrison Reed and ask whether he should be getting a late England call-up, plus we heap praise on Willian and Andreas too. We also discuss Fulham's chopping and changing defence, which conceded yet more goals, but frankly when we can score this many, do we actually need to worry? Finally, in part three, Sammy chats to Drew, Stephen and Justin from Fulham Texas, an international FFC supporters club based in Austin. He went to the Hopsquad Brewing Company, where Whites fans in Austin congregate for each game, normally bright and early.

Jack & Dan take a look back at Fulham's thumping 3-0 win over Aston Villa at the Cottage that saw Stevie G slip to his demise as Villains manager, ruminating on a very impressive performance from Marco Silva's men that once again saw spirits soar in black and white. Then we turn our attention to Leeds at Elland Road this weekend, with another misfiring manager on the brink in the Cottagers' crosshairs - can we pile the misery on Jesse Marsch after Leeds fell to defeat at Leicester in midweek? And finally, there's a stack of your questions, which we work our way through in Part Three! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
We analyse Fulham's 2-2 draw with the Cherries, as Marco Silva's side battled back twice to scramble a draw against Gary O'Neil's in form side. We look at our defensive frailties and the second half subs that breathed new life into Fulham after the break. In part two, we answer your questions on everything from Mitro's fitness to the state of the new Riverside Stand. Finally, we preview Thursday's match against Aston Villa at Craven Cottage.

We begin the show with the final word from Sunday's match with West Ham, as the home side scored three controversial goals, leaving Marco Silva and the entire away end furious. Afterwards, we discuss Neeskens Kebano following Peter's brilliant interview with him in The Athletic. We discuss his topsy-turvy time at Fulham, and how Silva has managed to prise the best out of him. In part two, we discuss Saturday's massive match against Bournemouth at Craven Cottage. Can Fulham get back to winning ways against the Cherries? And will Aleksandar Mitrovic be back up front? Finally, we answer some questions and play a this'll catch on submission.

Well... that was a frustrating afternoon. The sun was shining as The Whites marched on to East London, hoping to put the Newcastle loss behind us. After a superb opening spell Fulham, who were without Mitrovic, found themselves ahead after Andreas Pereira slammed home from the tightest of angles to open his Fulham account. But our hero quickly turned villain as the Brazilian was alleged to have fouled Craig Dawson from a corner, with Jarrod Bowen converting from the spot to equalise. West Ham then took the lead as Scamacca controlled a tidy through ball with his hand before lobbing Bernd Leno. To add insult to injury, in the dying embers, a defensive mix-up presented Michail Antonio (who also controlled the ball with his hand) with a third. Coops, Drew and Dom discuss an afternoon ruined by bad officiating and incorrect VAR decisions. We hope to put it behind us as we look ahead to an important home fixture against Bournemouth this weekend. In the second half of the pod Coops, Drew and Dom answer your listener questions. Hope you enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
We begin with a final look at Saturday's defeat to Newcastle United, as we assess the extent of Fulham's mounting injury list and the impact it could have on this upcoming stretch of perceived "winnable" games. The first of those fixtures is West Ham on Sunday at the London Stadium. We look at the Hammers' shaky start, and whether their European exploits on Thursday will play a factor. In part two, Sammy chats to Martin Calladine from Ugly Game about Fulham's new CFD trading partners called Titan Capital Markets. Martin shares his research on this new firm, and the unbelievably high returns their offering for their targeted clientele. You can read Martin's full article here.

Well that's burst the bubble a little bit hasn't it? Ten man Fulham fell to their first home defeat of the season, as Newcastle slaughtered our makeshift side time and time again. In the end, a 1-4 scoreline was quite a flattering one, as we had Bernd Leno to thank for the margin of victory not being wider. In this episode, we react to the defeat, discuss Nathaniel Chalobah's disastrous red card and answer some of your questions. There's also a look at Tom Cairney, and whether it was a mistake to overlook him for this match. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
We start with an international round-up, mainly focused on the exploits of Aleksandar Mitrović, who scored his 50th goal for Serbia on just his 76th cap. We discuss this extraordinary achievement and also look at other FFC players who repped their country in the past fortnight. Afterwards, we preview Saturday's game against Newcastle United, the first game at Craven Cottage since August! We debate what Silva should do in the absence of Joao Palhinha, and discuss Eddie Howe's own selection issues. Finally, we have some interesting questions on Mitro's deep-lying positions and what has happened to Michael Hector. Finally, a couple of lovely "this'll catch on" submissions for our Portuguese midfield dynamo. Love Fulhamish? If so, please consider contributing a small amount monthly to help pay our costs.

As it's the international break, here's a flavour from the Fulhamish YouTube channel. Each week, Jack Kelly and Joe Sansom release their hugely popular 'Jack and Joe Show', an informal delve into everything FFC. We know that some of you may not have sampled what we make over on YouTube, so we thought we'd bring it to you on the podcast feed. On this episode, Jack Stroudly is covering the hotseat for Joe, so it is the 'Jack and Jack Show'. They react to Fulham's sky-high position in the Premier League table, and all the talking points from our win at Nottingham Forest in our final game before the break.

The international break is here, and Fulham find themselves in an incredible sixth position in the table. A pause in the season means there is some time to reflect and assess exactly how the start of the season has gone, and as you'd expect, there are quite a lot of plaudits. We give our viewpoint on where FFC stand, and have a look at the rest of the league. We also discuss whether Harrison Reed could potentially earn himself an England call-up if he continues this vein of form, plus also maybe ask if Fulham's defensive numbers give any cause for concern. In part two, we take questions from our Fulhamish Community. We discuss our favourite pubs, what we'd do if we ran Fulham and amusing Fulhamish moments from down the years. Love Fulhamish?

Ohh boy this was a good one, Fulham are now SIXTH in the Premier League table after notching up their first away win of the season, a 3-2 win at the City Ground against fellow promoted side Nottingham Forest. We react to all the key talking points, including and especially, the breath-taking five minute goal glut where Fulham turned the game on its head. We take a look at the virtuoso performances of Joao Palhinha and Harrison Reed, plus react to Issa Diop's full Premier League debut.

In this episode we begin with our thoughts on all football matches being postponed at the weekend due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II. We then discuss Fulham's statistically tricky start to the season before reviewing the latest FFC news. This includes Luke Harris' call-up to the senior Wales side, transfers for Anthony Knockaert and Ivan Cavaleiro, plus the sad news of Fred Callaghan's death. In part two, we preview Friday's trip to Nottingham Forest, as Fulham look to inflict more home misery on our fellow promotees. Will the break have given their multiple signings time to gel?

With Fulham's derby against Chelsea postponed due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II, we decided to bring you something a bit different on the podcast. This is a special, podcast version of 'The White Board', a regular show on our YouTube channel between Dan Cooke and Ben Jarman, where they break down Fulham's tactics and style of play.

If Brentford is the derby match we hate to lose, Chelsea is the one we love to win. Sadly for Fulham, SW6 Derby victories are as rare as hen's teeth, and against a now manageress Chelsea, it will be a tall order once again. In this episode we preview the match, as Thomas Tuchel got the sack whilst we recorded. We also have the final word from Saturday's defeat to Spurs and give our thoughts on Marlon Fossey's departure to Standard Liege. In the final part of the podcast, we answer some of your questions on relegation clauses and membership ticket access, before the triumphant return of This'll Catch On at the end. Love Fulhamish?

Fulham made a migration from the West to the North of the Capital for the second time in a week on Saturday to face Tottenham, and fell to the same fate as had happened to us down the Seven Sisters Road in Arsenal just seven days previously, losing by two goals to one. It wasn't vintage Fulham, and the first 45 in particular was a real struggle, but this side's plucky determination and dogged defending meant that we stayed in the contest right to the death - an endurance we're going to need this season in the Premier League if we're going to survive. We dissected the game for both positives and negatives. There were plenty of questions, ranging from safe standing to changes of system, and from debuts to the World Cup break; and we discussed also the potential ramifications of an injury to Antonee Robinson and Jay Stansfield's emotional loan return to Exeter City.

Marco Silva wanted four new faces through the door at Fulham on Deadline Day, and that's exactly what he got - with the additions of Daniel James, Carlos Vinicius, Willian and Layvin Kurzawa all secured in the final hours of the transfer window. We take a look at each of Fulham's new faces in turn, giving them some brief analysis and discussing what they bring to SW6 - from James' pace to Willian's experience, and look at how they might fit into Silva's squad. We finish with a discussion of the window as a whole - what we're pleased about, what we're disappointed with, and if there's anything more to expect from Fulham as we push into September.

What a joy it was to record this Thursday Club after a fantastic Tuesday night victory, under the lights, against an in-form and (until last night) undefeated Brighton & Hove Albion side. It was a fascinating tactical contest, which burst into life after our Serbian King, Alexander ‘can he do it in the Prem?’ Mitrovic slid onto the end of a Neeskens Kebano cross-come-shot to put us 1 up early in the second half. The Whites doubled their lead thanks to an own goal from Brighton’s centre back Lewis Dunk, who’s tidy finish wrong-footed Robert Sanchez. Just moments later, A VAR penalty decision went against BDR, and Alexis Mac Allister slotted home to give us, and the neutral at home, a scintillating final 30. We call it game management, Brighton fans may call it time wasting - but whatever your persuasion, Fulham defended superbly to earn the 3 points. Currently 6th in the table. 5 in 5 for Mitro. What a time to be alive! Fulham are a joy to watch, at the highest standard of domestic club football. What a pod we have in store for you today. We’ll analyse yesterday game, then in part 2 we’ll answer your questions and look ahead to transfer deadline day… before wrapping up with a preview of Saturday’s game against Spurs.

Fulham's unbeaten start to life back in the Premier League came to a halt at the Emirates, as Marco Silva's Whites lost for the first time in the league this season, going down 2-1 to an Arsenal side who sit top of the pile. There was plenty of encouragement though, in the performance. We discuss how Fulham took the lead before eventually succumbing to two sucker punches from the Gunners - the first a mighty deflection from a Martin Ødegaard strike and the second from a contentious scramble at a corner late on, that meant we left North London empty handed. There's a discussion of Bernd Leno's performance, as well as of the options that Marco chose to deploy. In part two we look ahead to this week's under-the-lights clash against high flying Brighton, discussing the Seagulls have started this season and how we can get at them; whilst part three talks about potential signings and answers a big question that we were sent!

Yikes, what a dreadful night at Crawley Town, as Marco Silva's B-team and youngsters lost meekly to Kevin Betsy's League Two strugglers on a balmy night in West Sussex. We react to the insipid performance from many out there in White, and ask how annoyed we should be about an early cup exit. In part two, we're joined by the legend that is Brede Hangeland to discuss Fulham's start to the season. Brede gives us his thoughts on the Brentford game, his opinion on how Silva's side will fare this season and some reasons behind Tim Ream's impressive performances. He also shares his insight on Saturday's trip to Arsenal, and how FFC can try and spring an upset against the league's early pace-setters. Finally, we discuss the latest transfer rumours, as Fulham look to secure several incomings and outgoings during the final week of the window.

Beating your local rivals Brentford in the first ever Premier League meeting between the two sides… it doesn’t get much better than this! Fulham were inspired from the moment we kicked off, with Bobby Decordova-Reid taking only 50 seconds to take the lead. A goal from new cult hero João Palhinha put us 2-0 up, before a nervy period saw Brentford come back to make it 2-2. After Ivan Toney mocked our talisman Alexander Mitrovic's celebration... the rest will go down in Fulham's Premier League folklore. 90th minute. Mitro header. Bad luck Brentford. Thanks for coming. Fulham are now sitting pretty in 7th place, undefeated, with 5 points on the board. Saturday's win turning our solid start into an exceptional start. We discuss how Marco Silva’s side have adapted to the Premier League, perhaps learning from our mistakes of yesteryear. We also chat about impressive debuts for Jay Stansfield and Bernd Leno and take a look at our new right back conundrum. In part two we answer your questions, and then in part three we look ahead to a very fun little Carabao Cup draw away to Crawley Town.

We probably shouldn't be using the phrase "must-win" three games into a season, but it sure feels like one. On Saturday, Fulham welcome Brentford to Craven Cottage, looking to get their first home win against the Bees since 1990. In today's episode we preview that match, as well as have the final word on Saturday's goalless draw at Molineux. Also, we discuss the rumoured arrivals of Willian and Justin Kluivert, as FFC aim to fix their shortcomings on the wing following recent injuries to Wilson and Solomon. In part two, Sammy speaks to Jonnie Langtree of the Fulham Foundation, part of the Kicks Refugee programme, a football programme run by the club for refugees and asylum seekers. Finally, we react to Luke Harris' brilliant hat-trick for the Fulham U21s in their game at Chelsea on Monday night.

Saturday's match against Wolves will not be remembered for Aleksandar Mitrovic's penalty, nor the host of chances Wolves spurned, but for the fiery heat on the pitch and in the stands. In today's episode we look back at what was ultimately quite an uneventful game, with one big opportunity to snag the three points that was sadly not taken. We discuss Fulham's defence situation, with the incumbents of Tosin, Ream and Rodak all putting in good enough shifts to repel the incoming signings of Diop and Leno from getting into the first team. Will Marco Silva stick to his guns and trust those that have the shirt? In part two we answer your questions, and then in part three we take a wider look at Fulham's start, the first time we've gone unbeaten in our first two games since 2010.

Still beaming after Saturday? In this episode we start by looking at the tactics behind Saturday's brilliant performance against Liverpool. Afterwards, we discuss the impact of Manor Solomon's injury and then ask if the signing of Issa Diop from West Ham will be the solution to Fulham's centre-back woes. In part two, Sammy speaks to Sarah Keig and Amelia Armstrong from the newly formed Fulham Lillies, a newly formed group for female Fulham supporters and allies. They discuss how their first meet-up went, what their aims are and how you can get involved with future meet-ups.

What a weekend. Despite all the predictions of Fulham getting a pasting from Jurgen Klopp's men, the Whites put in an unbelievable performance for the entirety of the Saturday lunchtime clash. As ever, the star of Fulham's side was Aleksandar Mitrovic, instantly silencing his critics with an excellent headed goal, and a penalty which he won himself against one of the world's best centre-backs. In this episode we look at all the talking points from the match, react to Friday's loan signing of Shane Duffy, and answer a bagful of your questions too.

With just a matter of days until Fulham's Premier League campaign gets underway against Liverpool at the Cottage, this episode looks ahead to the season as a whole. Sammy, Jack and Peter give their predictions as to how FFC will fare back in the top flight under Marco Silva. However, we begin the podcast by reacting to the signing of Bernd Leno from Arsenal, which has the potential to be one of the key signings of the summer. Peter also gives his thoughts on Marco's press conference at the weekend, where he criticised the club's recruitment. Finally, we end with a preview of Saturday's visitors Liverpool.

The final pre-season friendly is over, and the Premier League season is just around the corner. It should be a time of excitement for Fulham fans, but right now it feels like a case of déjà vu with recruitment woes and a manager getting angsty in the press. In today's episode we reflect on the 1-1 draw against Villarreal, before diving into those comments Marco Silva made. We look at how Fulham have managed to mess up centre-back recruitment again, and what remedies there are to plug the gap against Liverpool. In the final part of the podcast, we delve into your questions on some issues outside of recruitment, including Wolves travel, Harry Wilson's injury and the role Tom Cairney could play this season.

We begin by analysing Fulham's pre-season victory against Estoril, Marco Silva's former side where he is fondly remembered. We discuss Mitro being in goalscoring form, and the general match fitness of the side with just over a week until the Premier League commences. Afterwards, we discuss transfers, with Manor Solomon across the line and Kevin Mbabu also a done deal (although, it was actually confirmed after this episode was recorded). In part two, Sammy speaks to Philippe Auclair about Fulham's new sponsor, W88. Philippe gives a damning lowdown on the alleged shady practices that many asian-facing bookmakers similar to W88 are involved in. Finally, we take on some of your questions, from club ethics to the do's and don'ts of attending a football match. FOOTNOTES...

We begin this episode with a look-back at Fulham's first two matches of pre-season in Portugal against Nice and Benfica. Dom gives us his view from the Algarve, and we analyse whether the Benfica game should ring any alarm bells, after a haphasard defensive display from the Whites. In part two, we discuss Manor Solomon's controversial transfer, which has been all but confirmed after he was spotted in Portugal watching the matches with the team. We also discuss the latest transfer rumours, which seem to have dried up in recent days. Finally, a word on Fulham's likely gambling sponsor and a brief this'll catch on for (Sir) Joe Bryan.

With the domestic club season over and next season's Premier League line-up confirmed, Sammy, Jack and Peter look in the distance to see how Fulham will fare. We then take a look at FFC's released players, with a particular focus on Jean Michael-Seri, whose redemption story at Craven Cottage comes to an abrupt conclusion. We then discuss the latest transfer rumours, and Peter has the latest update on whether the Manor Solomon deal has actually collapsed. In part two, Peter gives us the rundown of his interview with FFC head coach Marco Silva, which you can read in the Athletic. Finally, we end this season's podcasts with the very best of This'll Catch On - the top five submissions, as voted by you.
The 2021/2022 season was a special, record-breaking campaign for Fulham, as the Whites lifted a league title for the first time in 21 years, scored 106 goals and Aleksandar Mitrović broke practically all the second tier scoring records. This is a new podcast format called The Fulhamish Annual. In this episode, we tell the story of the season via the lens of the podcast, hopefully offering a window into what fan opinion was at various points of the campaign. Narrated by Sammy, it features numerous different voices that have been on the show throughout the past year.
Whilst the Premier League and the play-offs continue, Fulham's summer break is well underway, which means it's time for us to hand out our end-of-season awards. With so many memorable matches and performances throughout the campaign, there was plenty to choose from. In part two we look at the numbers behind Marco Silva's style-of-play, and we take a look-back at our summer predictions for Fulham and the Championship as a whole. As you might expect, there's a mixture of sublime and shocking when it comes to the takes we had. Finally, we get a question asking us to review his combined promotion XI and the final "this'll catch on" submissions of the season.
The season may be over, but there's plenty of Fulham news to get stuck into. Firstly we have a final word on Saturday's defeat to Sheffield United, with Peter giving us Marco's reaction to what went wrong. Afterwards, we discuss the new contracts for Neeskens Kebano and Tim Ream, and looking at how much our veteran American centre-back could feature in the Premier League. We then look at the positions Fulham will be targeting in the Premier League, before reacting to Peter's piece in The Athletic all about Aleksandar Mitrović, and the stats that demonstrate why he should be much more potent in the top flight this time around. Finally, we end with some correspondence, and sea shanties.. of course.
In this episode Coops, Dan and Jack Kelly discuss Fulham's spectacular defeat on the last day of the season to Sheffield United at Bramall Lane. With nothing to play for on Saturday, and our squad more than likely nursing some celebration hangovers, the result didn't matter. But, we had ourselves a party. In part two, we answer your questions and discuss the 'funniest moment of the season'. Thank you so much for listening to the Monday podcast this year. Sammy will be back in a few days' time with our final Thursday Club (and Fulhamish pod) of the season.
In this episode we start by chatting to Fulham's matchday announcer Ivan Berry about Monday's wonderful match against Luton Town, as Marco Silva's team proudly paraded their trophy in front of the Craven Cottage crowd. As the man on the mic, we get his viewpoint on the occasion that will live long in the memory for all in attendance. In part two, we discuss Tony Khan's interview with Daniel Taylor in The Athletic, as he reveals how he persuaded Mitrović to stay, confirms Fabio's future and discloses his retirement hopes for next season. Finally, we preview Saturday's trip to Sheffield United, discuss which three teams we might be able to finish ahead of next season, and there are some particularly original 'this'll catch on' submissions.
For the first time in 21 years, Fulham have won a league trophy. And they did it in style, after smashing play-off hopefuls Luton Town by seven goals at Craven Cottage. Records tumbled all over the shop, as FFC broke the 100 goal mark and Aleksandar Mitrovic broke Guy Whittingham's modern-day second tier goalscoring record, after bagging his 43rd goal of the season. In this podcast, recorded immediately after the game from the Jolly Gardeners pub in Putney, we react to everything that happened, from the exceptional goals to the celebrations on the pitch at the end. Thursday Club will be out later in the week with a more considered view from the match, but for this one, enjoy the chaos after a famous night by the banks of the Thames.
We begin this episode by reviewing Fulham's defeat to in-form Nottingham Forest, which cost Marco Silva's side the chance to clinch the title with two games to spare. We debate Marco's strategy after going a goal down, and what the future holds for Marek Rodak amidst uncertainty over his spot next season. In part two, we get Peter's reaction to all the off-field antics at Bournemouth and debate whether the fanbase is overly obsessed with Scott Parker. We also preview Luton Town on Monday, a team who will be looking to solidify their play-off spot at the expense of our title party. Finally, we touch on the Premier League relegation battle between Burnley and Everton, before tucking into a couple of excellent "this'll catch on" submissions
In this episode we review Fulham's 1-1 draw at the Vitality Stadium against Scott Parker's Bournemouth, as Dominic Solanke's 98th minute penalty denied Fulham the opportunity to effectively seal the title under our old manager's nose. Much of part one's discussion is centred around Parker, and his comments that his reception from the Fulham fans "hurts". We also discuss the two contrasting playing styles, and whether anyone is actually that bothered that we threw away two points so late on. Later on in the podcast we discuss the loyalty points system, answer your questions on various topics such as full-backs, the potential trophy lift and the slightly preposterous rumours with Sergej Milinković-Savić. Finally, we preview Tuesday's tough test against Nottingham Forest, with Fulham searching for those all important points to wrap up the championship trophy.
We did it! Fulham are back in the Premier League, with a third promotion in five seasons secured in style against Preston North End at Craven Cottage. In today's podcast, all the reaction to FFC's 3-0 victory, which also coincided with Aleksandar Mitrovic scoring his 40th league goal of the season. We also look ahead to Bournemouth on Saturday, with the Whites effectively a single win away from the title. How will the lads fare after a big night celebrating promotion? Finally, we discuss what we will and won't miss about the Championship, debate our unsung heroes of the season, and there's time for a quick round of "this'll catch on".
It was all just too easy wasn't it? On Friday, Fulham had automatic promotion on a plate, just one win against the league's bottom side was needed, but alas, Fulham never make it that simple. In this episode we look back at FFC's 2-1 defeat at Pride Park, as Derby's second half fightback snatched the prize from our hands. Fortunately, we have another five matches to get that all important win, so we take your questions on whether there's been an overreaction to what happened, or is there genuine cause for concern going into next season? Finally, we look ahead to Preston North End, and work out if this is the game where the ultimate aim can be achieved. We think it should be, but as we know, FFC rarely do things the easy way.
In today's episode we have our final word from Sunday's defeat against Coventry, and examine exactly why Silva's tactics failed against the Sky Blues' persistent press. Afterwards Jack gives us the lowdown on Fulham's first serious summer transfer rumour, Manor Solomon, who is reportedly set to join from Shakhtar Donetsk. In part two, we react to Hartlepool United's damning statement against Fulham after they were awarded compensation for their former academy starlet Luca Murphy. We then preview the Easter weekend, as FFC look to wrap up promotion against either Derby County or Preston North End. Finally, there is a LIVE rendition of "This'll Catch On", recorded on Sunday at the Half Moon Putney in front of a studio audience. Sammy, Dom, Jack and special guest Charlie Cooper are on stage for the ultimate 20 minutes of Fulham silliness you are ever likely to hear.
After a brilliant duo of away days at play-off chasing QPR and Middlesbrough, Fulham followed those up with an insipid 3-1 defeat to our new bogey team, Coventry City at Craven Cottage. In the first part of a special live version of Fulhamish, Sammy, Dan, Drew and Peter dissect the game in front of a sold-out crowd at the Half Moon Putney. Then in part two, George Cooper hosts a Q&A section with Izzy, Farrell and special guest Charlie Cooper. George gets some insight into Charlie's favourite FFC memories, before asking a range of questions including transfers, away days and best performances of the season.
It was a performance and result that was the true mark of champions. In this episode we reflect on Fulham's gritty 1-0 win up at the Riverside, a stadium that has been a fortress for Middlesbrough this season, but was overcome after Aleksandar Mitrovic's 38th goal of the season. We analyse Fulham's set-up and the magic behind the set-piece routine that lead to the goal. In part two, we discuss the breaking news that Fabio Carvalho has agreed a deal with Liverpool that will see him move to Anfield in the Summer. We also preview Sunday's visit of Coventry, which could potentially be a promotion sealer if results go our way elsewhere. Finally, we discuss the recent 'limbs' debate that has been a hot and controversial topic within the fanbase, before a quick rendition of "this'll catch on".
It’s happened again! It doesn’t get much better than this as a Fulham fan, does it? A comfortable away victory in the sun against our local rivals, edging us even closer to promotion. It's been 10 years since QPR beat us at Loftus Road, and Saturday was just one of the great Fulham away days. A goal in each half for our talisman Alexander Mitrovic... it's now 37 from 36 for our big man up top. Coops, Dom, Dan and Stephen breakdown all the action from the weekend, answer some of your listener questions, and take a look ahead to a very tough game away at Middlesbrough on Wednesday.
Club football is back, with Fulham playing eight matches in the month of April, as their promotion and title race reaches crunch time. In this episode we preview our first match in 18 days, as we make the short trip to the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium to play QPR. We start the episode though with an international round-up, as Fulham's Welsh duo of Harry Wilson and Neco Williams moved one step closer to the World Cup with a narrow win over Austria in the play-offs. We also discuss Antonee Robinson's two assists for the USMNT against Panama, and his good performance against Mexico. We also take a look at Fulham's eye-watering 20/21 accounts, which revealed a £96m loss, before answering your questions, and moving onto an interesting "this'll catch on" for Bobby Decordova-Reid and the new Craven Cottage infinity pool. Tickets for Fulhamish Live at the Half Moon in Putney on Sunday 10th April after the Coventry City game are on sale now at tickets.halfmoon.co.uk
Fulhamish website editor Drew Heatley hosts this special episode of the Fulhamish podcast. Introducing the inaugural 'Writer's Room'. Drew, Cam, Iz and Rhys take a look back at Fulham's incredible season so far, analysing the positives and negatives of Fulham's campaign, whilst looking ahead to next season. The team also weighs up our chances of Premier League survival if/when we go up. In part 3 the writers then take a trip down memory lane, revisiting some of their earliest pieces covering Fulham Football Club.
We start this international break special speaking with Clare Parish, daughter of Paul Parish, whose passing after a cardiac arrest at the Blackpool game in January sent shockwaves through the Fulham fanbase. Clare speaks to us about defibrillator awareness, about how they are not as difficult to use as you might think, and how she is hoping for Fulham to become the first #heartsafe club in the UK, by better signposting where life-saving equipment is located at Craven Cottage. In part two, we briefly look ahead to the upcoming internationals for FFC players, before looking ahead to the opening of the new Riverside Stand. Peter talks us through why it has been delayed again, whilst Jack and Sammy discuss the steep £1000 price tag for a season ticket in the lower tier next season. Finally, we have some more wonderful 'this'll catch on' submissions.
In today's podcast, we react to Fulham's frustrating defeat to West Brom at The Hawthorns. We discuss Marco's reluctance to rotate and break down what ultimately went wrong during Fulham's trip to the midlands, their third away game in a week. Later in the podcast we discuss Peter's latest article on Bruno Mendes, Fulham's head of Sporting Performance. We answer your emails, and of course, we finish with a particularly silly instalment of 'This'll Catch On'.
The curse of the 12:30 kick off continues, as the team break down Fulham's frustrating 1-1 away draw against Barnsley at the Oakwell Stadium. Today's podcast contains all the talking points, plus a West Brom preview, your listener questions, plus a very special announcement regarding an upcoming live podcast recording event. Coops, Ben and Farrell are joined by a very special guest: the author, screenwriter (and huge Fulham fan) John O'Farrell!
In today's podcast, we react to Fulham's thrashing of Swansea City in South Wales, as Marco Silva's side scored five goals in a game for the sixth time this season. We look at the impact Ryan Manning's red card had on the match, and heap praise on Neco Williams, who bagged his first two goals for the club. Later in the podcast we preview Saturday's trip to Barnsley, we have some emails about Fulham's points position, and of course, we finish with This'll Catch On
Today's episode takes a look-back over FFC's 2-0 win against Blackburn Rovers on Saturday, as the Whites move further clear of the chasing pack following defeats to three out of four of our closest challengers. We review what was a comfortable game, and assess just how excited we can get about the prospect of securing promotion within the next month or so. In part two, we discuss Fulham's collaboration with HerGameToo, the campaign against sexism in football, before tackling your questions on Neco Williams and whether Tom Cairney slots back into the team upon his return from illness. Finally, there's a brief preview of the trip to Swansea City on Tuesday.
In this episode we look-back at our win at Cardiff City, as Fulham make a new habit of winning games by a narrow margin. Afterwards, we discuss the U23s and their confirmation as champions of the Premier League 2 Division 2 with five games to spare. We also look at academy players that have got away, and try to make a starting XI out of them. In part two, we preview Blackburn Rovers, as they look to avenge November's 7-0 defeat at Ewood Park. Finally, we answer some correspondence about the Mario Balotelli to Fulham rumour and there are some corkers in "This'll Catch On".
In this episode we analyse FFC's narrow 1-0 win at Cardiff City. We discuss Mitrovic's 34th goal of the season and the extremely fractious nature of the match. There's also some analysis about why Fulham's rate of goals has decreased from the free-scoring rate seen back in January. Afterwards, we have time for some of your questions, which include questions about which other teams we'd like to see promoted, whether a midfield pairing of Seri and Chalobah could work going forward, and the impressive form of Sonny Hilton for the U23s. Finally, we preview the fixtures that Fulham face in March, as the end of the season draws nearer.
A jam-packed Fulhamish podcast for you today, as we celebrate our 400th episode. We include all the analysis following Fulham's 2-0 home victory against Peterborough, a Cardiff preview, listener emails and of course, everybody's favourite Thursday Club feature ‘This Will Catch On'. The boys focus on Alexander Mitrovic… our spiritual king… after he SMASHED Ivan Toney’s Championship goalscoring record. He’s now scored 33 goals, with 14 games to go, averaging more than a goal a game. What a player… what a man. Enjoy.
As Storm Eunice battered the UK, it was a defiant gust from the North that caused havoc on the banks of the Thames on Saturday… A lapse in concentration and a soft penalty gave Huddersfield the advantage before half time, and despite a spirited 2nd half display from Fulham and a late BDR goal, the visitors gleefully left SW6 with 3 points. It was a meeting of 2 teams that were, at the time, undefeated in 2022 (Huddersfield are now unbeaten in 13) and it’s fair to say that Huddersfield put in a very good performance. It was an interesting, albeit frustrating, game with plenty of discussion points. Coops, Lydia, Singer and Farell unpick what went wrong for the boys in White following their home defeat to The Terriers.
It may be foolish, but in today's episode we start by looking at the table situation for Marco Silva's team. With QPR and Blackburn dropping points, we analyse how many points-per-game Fulham actually need to secure that all important top two spot. We also have a few other topics on the agenda, with Fulham's right-back situation under the microscope, as well as Mitrovic's quest to become the all-time highest scorer in the second-tier. Also, there's some of your correspondence on away days and the next youth player to break through from the academy, before we finish with an excellent round of "this'll catch on", featuring Rihanna and the Isreali folk song, Hava Nagila. For more details about The Fulhamish Community go to https://www.fulhamish.co.uk/introducing-the-fulhamish-community/
For all of Fulham's attacking masterclasses this season, it's narrow wins like this that might be the real difference makers. In this episode, we look back at the 1-0 win at Hull City, on a wet, windy and cold day with a slow, sodden pitch to boot. In part two, we take a look at the wider Championship promotion race, as Fulham extend their lead over third place to 11 points. We ask what Marco Silva's side requires to secure that coveted automatic promotion prize. Finally, we have time for your questions, with the form and future of record-equalling Aleksandar Mitrovic at the heart of many of them.
In this podcast we reflect on an emotional evening at Craven Cottage as Fulham ran out 3-0 winners over Millwall, and everyone paid their respects to Paul Parish who sadly passed away during Fulham's match against Blackpool. Later on, we discuss Aleksandar Mitrovic's incredible goalscoring record, as he reached a sensational 30 goals for the season so far. We also look back at Neco Williams' debut and whether we will expect to see more of Nathaniel Chalobah in the middle of the park. Finally, we preview Saturday's trip to Hull and read a brilliant email about the mathematics of what Fulham need to secure promotion. Plus, there are not one, but two Boney M suggestions in today's "this'll catch on" segment.
As cup upsets go, 92 seconds is maybe one of the shortest of all time. That was the duration that Fulham lead for at The Etihad stadium before Pep Guardiola's juggernaut turned the game around. In this episode we discuss a front-footed performance from Fulham, who for large swathes looked more than a match for the Premier League champions. We then ask whether the performance can give Fulham hope should promotion be the final outcome of this season. Afterwards, we take your questions before previewing Tuesday night's game against Millwall at the Cottage.
The first rule of Fulham on Transfer Deadline Day is that it's never quiet, the second rule is that you WILL be made to stay up past midnight. We react to what was a sensational evening, as Fabio Carvalho's transfer to Liverpool fell through, three players departed on loan, Denis Odoi left for Club Brugges and Neco Williams arrived until the end of the season. We take a moment to fondly reminisce about Denis' five-and-a-half years at Fulham, the definition of a cult hero. Afterwards we briefly look back at Saturday's draw with Blackpool before looking ahead to Manchester City, a stern FA Cup 4th round test that poses Marco Silva with an interesting selection headache. Finally, we have some fantastic Mitrovic scoring stats sent in via email, before playing some more chants in "this'll catch on", including ditties for Fabri and Rodrigo Muniz.
On Saturday 29th January we lost a member of the Fulham Family. Lifelong supporter Paul Parish was taken ill at Craven Cottage, and tragically passed away in hospital later that day. Days like Saturday put football into perspective. The result against Blackpool doesn't matter. What matters is the magnificent way Paul has brought together the Fulham community, who are united in showing their support to Paul's family and loved ones. Rest in peace Paul.
We start with a final word on the Stoke win, as Rodrigo Muniz deputised admirably up front with a goal (arguably two) and an assist. In part two, we have a look at the threat mid-table Blackpool will pose before discussing Jay Stansfield's new contract. We juxtapose that news against the ongoing Fabio Carvalho situation, with the odds of a pen and paper meeting looking less and less likely. Finally, we have time for your emails. There's a discussion on London pubs before some chant suggestions, mainly based on ABBA bangers.
Fulham got a less headline-grabbing but arguably more impressive win up at Stoke City at the weekend. It was 90 minutes jam-packed full of action, from the very opening seconds - but it was one full of character and desire from the Whites. We get into the nitty gritty of a really good afternoon at the Bet365, discuss the goings on below us in the Championship table and answer an absolute hatful of your question - on everything from right-backs to Wright-Phillips.
It's officially getting ridiculous, as Fulham made it 19 goals scored in just three games against a spirited, but helpless Birmingham City side at Craven Cottage on Tuesday night. We look back at FFC's incredible goal-scoring run that is making waves far and wide. Other topics up for discussion include the upcoming fixtures for the three promotion chasing sides, Fabio Carvalho's masterful performance, and Antonee Robinson's marked improvement in recent weeks. Elsewhere we preview Stoke on Saturday and quickly rate/slate a couple of chants the "this'll catch on" segment.
You would have been excused for thinking Saturday's match against Bristol City might be a case of after the Lord Mayor's show, given the seven goal drubbing of Reading earlier in the week. The opposite however was true, as Fulham racked up the goals once again in this eight-goal thriller at the Cottage. We look at Aleksandar's Mitrovic's third hat-trick of the season, how Tom Cairney is making this team tick, and on a less positive note, why counter-attacks through the middle keep working against our defence. After the Bristol City chat we ask if this Fulham team need to be a bit dirtier and just how does this squad compare to previous great FFC rosters? Finally, there's a quick preview of our home match against Birmingham City on Tuesday, which as you'll hear, Lee Bowyer is far from relishing.
It's not every day your football team wins 7-0 away from home, but Fulham are sure starting to turn it into something remarkably regular. In this episode we discuss how Marco Silva's side ruthlessly exposed a beleaguered Reading side with wave after wave of attack in the second half. We look at the key talking points including whether Fulham were determined to prove a point after several weeks without a game. We praise most of the players, but particularly Harry Wilson, who had an exceptional five goal involvements in the match. Afterwards, we preview Saturday's game against Bristol City, and continue the ever-growing "this'll catch on" section with dittys for Aleksandar Mitrovic, Marek Rodak and an ABBA themed number for our forward trio.
In today’s episode George, Farrell, Stephen and Jack Kelly mull over Fulham's extra-time victory over Bristol City at Ashton Gate. The game may have been uninspiring, but there was still plenty to talk about as the boys rated the individual performances of a few of our fringe players that made the starting eleven. They also debate whether our lack of fluidity is concerning, or just a by-product of having not played a competitive football match since December 20th! The lads also discuss Fulham's somewhat predictable draw away at Manchester City in the 4th round of the FA Cup... In part two, we debate the 'limbs' phenomenon that has been a regular feature on Fulham Twitter these past few months. Harmless fun or potentially harmful? Farrell 'Fun Police' Monk outlines safety concerns that have been sent into the Fulham Supporter's Trust, as we try to work out a way all supporters can celebrate in their chosen fashion, without tension or potential injury. There's also a great question about which Fulham player would make the best lumberjack. Finally, it’s time to "look forward" to a trip to the Madjeski Stadium on Tuesday night, as Fulham take on Reading, searching for their first league win since November 20th.
In today's episode, Peter's got the diary out, and we look at exactly how Fulham will fulfil their remaining 23 championship fixtures plus cup matches in just under four months. We also discuss the partnership between Fulham and Dundee United's academies and how this link represents a transition for the academy post-Brexit. Also, there's a nod to Peter's piece in The Athletic on the boundary-breaking FFC women's team of the 2000s. In part two, we look forward to Saturday's FA Cup game against Bristol City and we ask whether Marco Silva should play the first team to gain confidence or save them for the upcoming four games in ten days. Finally, it's time for your emails, which includes a Hugh Grant story and lots of submissions for "this'll catch on" including an excellent Beach Boys suggestion and an Estelle themed song for Denis Odoi.
We saw that postponements for Fulham might be coming, but not quite on that scale. In this episode we look back at FFC's cancelled Christmas, as all three of our opponents over the festive period had to cancel matches against us. We analyse what the fixture backlog could mean for Marco Silva's team, as they look to propel themselves back up the table. A lack of games means more time for questions, which is fortunate as we had a big festive haul of correspondence. We grade Fulham's season so far, discuss the Mitrovic transfer rumours, Shahid Khan's mess at the Jacksonville Jaguars and whether it's acceptable to have two Christmas dinners.
Ok, you can officially call this a blip. In today's podcast we discuss Fulham's disappointing performance against Sheffield United, which brings our unbeaten run to an end, and extends our winless run to five matches. We analyse why Fulham were second best all over the pitch, whether our midfield pivot needs altering and why we struggle so much against 3-4-2-1 formations. In the questions section we debate both full-backs and whether Rodrigo Muniz should be relied on to salvage games. Finally, there is a preview of the Boxing Day game against Birmingham.
It's an epic episode today, full of Fulham Christmas cheer to brighten up these difficult days. First of all, we have a final word on our draw at Luton on Saturday, before previewing our festive fixtures (if they happen). We also take a look at some more of your chant suggestions in our 'This'll Catch On' segment. In part two, Sammy chats to Peter Rutzler about Fulham's youth teams, in particular the U23s who have only lost one match this season and are packed full of potential stars. We ask what the future holds for some of the players in the team, and discuss the transition the U18s are currently going through. Finally, it's Sammy versus Jack in the Fulham Quiz of the Year, written by Peter earlier this week on the Athletic. George Cooper comes on to be the quizmaster in this FFC battle royale. If you play along, let us know what your scores were!
When we talked about Fulham breaking records this season, consecutive draws wasn't quite what we had in mind. In today's episode we look back at our fourth point in a row, as former FFC man Elijah Adebayo equalised for the Hatters at Kenilworth Road. We discuss Fulham's sloppy passing, why Tim Ream is still the man at centre-back, and why we can't blame this game on the referee, even if a few calls were a little suspect. Finally, we discuss the impact that covid-19 postponements might cause, and everyone reveals what their favourite Christmas movie is.
After Friday night's table topping clash finished honours even at the Cottage, we have the final word on the 'Rutzler Derby' that was full of entertainment and talking points. We ask whether Scott Parker or Marco Silva will have been happier with the overall outcome of the match.
Afterwards, we answer your questions, including a lengthy debate over how both Tom Cairney and Jean-Michael Seri's different playing styles can benefit this team.
Finally, we preview Saturday's trip to Luton Town, as Fulham look to get back to winning ways after three consecutive draws
Fulham stay top of the league after sharing the spoils with Scott Parker's Bournemouth in a top-of-the-table clash on Friday night. It's a third draw in a row for the Whites but a performance that perhaps deserved all three - we discuss the chances created, one of those nights when it just seemed it wouldn't go in, and some very questionable refereeing decisions that went against us. There's also a chat about Silva's super subs, getting Parkerballed, the differences in our old boss' style, and the importance of Tom Cairney's ability to control games in the final third, especially off the bench. We answer a host of your questions too, especially around the defence and what it looks like going forward - both this season and next!
It's first versus second on Friday night, as Scott Parker returns to Craven Cottage just five months after he departed. There are old scores to be settled on both sides, but who will come out on top? In this episode, we briefly round-up last weekend's Preston game, before looking ahead, in detail at all the key narratives ahead of this game. Was it just for Parker to leave in the way he did? Why were Bournemouth so keen to hire him? And what has Marco Silva done to pick up the pieces after his departure? Finally, we read some of your emails, on a multitude of subjects including chant suggestions, Mitrovic in the Premier League and a demand for Sammy to explain his Joe Bryan allegiances.
Fulham ended a tricky, ill-ridden week with a disjointed 1-1 draw against Preston North End, and in today's podcast we look at what went right and wrong at Deepdale. Should Marco Silva have made more use of the deep squad at his disposal? Of course, we give our thoughts on the referee's decision to allow Ched Evans' equaliser, which could have been disallowed for one of four potential infringements. In the questions section, we discuss Antonee Robinson and his inconsistent performances, and then we end the show by casting one eye on Friday's top of the table clash with Bournemouth at Craven Cottage.
Wednesday night should have been a routine win for Fulham on paper against Wayne Rooney's Derby County - it proved anything but, as a "non-covid related illness" hit several key members of the squad including top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic. In the end, Silva's depleted squad had to settle for a point against the league's bottom side, who were tough opposition and probably good value for the draw. In this episode, we review all the talking points from Wednesday's game, and also discuss Tosin Adarabioyo, who spoke to Peter in The Athletic earlier this week. We then look ahead to Preston on Saturday, which isn't the easiest given we have no idea who will be able to play and who won't. Finally, we read some of your emails about musical Fulham players, horn hysterics and a Crowded House chant suggestion for Marco Silva.
In this episode we review a seventh consecutive W for Fulham, who brushed aside basically bottom Barnsley with ease at the Cottage. Mitrovic scored in his seventh consecutive match and for the sixth time this season, FFC scored four goals in a match. We discuss Fabio Carvalho's impact, whether Michael Hector has done enough to keep his place now Tosin's suspension is over and just how important Harry Wilson is to this team. Finally, we look ahead to Derby County, as the Whites look to remain at the top of the league with a win against Wayne Rooney's doomed, but determined team.
The final international break of the calendar year is over, and it was an eventful one for Fulham's players, but mostly for Aleksandar Mitrovic, who scored a crucial goal for Serbia to send them to the World Cup finals. We discuss his redemption, and also round-up the rest of the FFC players who were away on international duty. In part two, Izzy Barker joins us to discuss the Fulham women's team who played in the FA Cup first round on Sunday against Oxford United. It was a 3-0 defeat, but Fulham played valiantly in front of a sell-out crowd, so plenty to be optimistic about. Finally, we preview Barnsley on Saturday, discuss whether the discourse around Scott Parker is unfair and ask Peter who the nicest three Fulham players he's met are. He wasn't very happy about it.
On today's podcast, we bring you an episode of The Jack and Joe Show, with Jack Kelly and Joe Sansom. Normally, you can find this on the Fulhamish YouTube channel, but we thought we would put this latest episode on the podcast feed, to give you a glimpse of what Jack and Joe discuss on a weekly basis. In this episode the boys discuss Fulham's six match winning run, analyse the wider championship, particularly the upcoming runs for West Brom and for Bournemouth. Also, they look at the defence, and whether we will see Tosin and Tete return to their positions in the near future.
In today's podcast we look back at Fulham's six wins in a row, which has left Marco Silva's side in a great spot during the final international break of the calendar year. In part two, we look at Neeskens Kebano, in-depth. Our Congolese winger has found some real form for the Whites of late, and we ask why it has taken five years for him to be given this run in the side. Finally, we play a Fulham related game of 'Bronze, Silver, Gold' - basically it's our top three choices in various categories including Fulham managers we'd like to have a pint with, and all-time dream FFC interview guests.
After scoring seven in midweek, the trip to Peterborough was always going to have a bit of an 'after the Lord Mayor's show' feel to it. Fortunately it took just one solitary Aleksandar Mitrovic header to secure the points. In the questions section, we discuss Fulham's centre-back situation, whether Kenny Tete will start at right-back going forward, and who doesn't love a cheeseboard on an away day? Finally, there's a mention for the Fulham Supporters Trust board nominations, and Peterborough's sensational mascots.
Wow, just wow. On the show today, we try and sum up our thoughts after Marco Silva's team just dispatched seven goals past play-off hopefuls Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park. It was a merciless display, which sent shockwaves across the entire division. After nights like this, it's difficult to pick out individuals, but we heap praise on a suddenly clinical Neeskens Kebano and discuss Rodrigo Muniz, exactly the kind of player Rovers really did not need coming off the bench when 5-0 down. In part two, the tone switches, as we discuss Fabio Carvalho and the fact he's turned down a new contract at Fulham. We ask whether the lack of a clear pathway for youngsters is the reason Fabio is potentially seeking a move elsewhere? Peter also tells us what Marco Silva thinks about the situation. Finally, we preview Peterborough on Saturday. The leakiest defence in the league against the most potent attack. Lump your money on a goalless draw.
It was the biggest occasion of the season so far, and Fulham more than turned up. Aleksandar Mitrovic's hat-trick was the difference between the Whites and the Baggies at Craven Cottage, which means there is now a pleasant four point gap between ourselves and the chasing pack below. We discussed the contentious refereeing calls, some which went in FFC's favour and some that didn't. We also looked at who should deputise for Tosin during his suspension and the impact that Rodak's clean sheets have had on the side. Finally, we preview Blackburn away on Wednesday, which promises to be one of Fulham's toughest trips of the season so far.
It's the collab you never expected, Fulhamish talking basketball. It was necessary due to Marco Silva's side scoring from another corner that involved a blocking routine. Peter gives us the lowdown, following his piece where he spoke to two NBA experts from The Athletic about the tactic. In part two, we discuss the club's decision to halt their search for a Director of Scouting. What does this mean for Fulham's transfer recruitment? Are we looking at more short-termism when it comes to our signings? Finally, we break the 'opposition preview glass' ahead of this Saturday's massive game against West Brom by speaking to Louis Bent from The Baggies Podcast.
Three shots on target, four goals, Fulham's win in Nottingham yesterday was about as clinical as it is possible to get. We look back at the match, which keeps us firmly entrenched within the Championship's title chasing pack. We discuss Fulham's blocking technique from corners, which had a hand in our opening goal yesterday. We then look at the goalscoring stats for both Aleksandar Mitrovic (15 in 14 for him now) and the team as a whole. Can we actually break 100 goals? In part two, we answer some of your questions, including an early eye on January signings, whether Seri would cut it in the top flight and why our away support seems to rattle everybody north of the M25. Finally, we take a little look at West Brom on Saturday, with Fulham able to open up a nice cushion if they can claim all three points
After 288 days and 38 matches on the sidelines, it took just twelve minutes of Tom Cairney on the pitch before he smacked in Fulham's opener from range against a dogged Cardiff City on Wednesday night. We react to the emotional celebrations on the pitch and in the stand following the skipper's left-foot bullet. Afterwards we review the rest of the match, as Mitrovic scored (again) and FFC kept their first clean sheet in seven league matches. In part two, we discuss Harrison Reed's game adaptation from a number 6 to a driving 8, partially caused by the unexpected return of Jean Michael-Seri. We ask what the future holds for the 26 year old, and whether the rise of Kalvin Philips to international stardom might provide a bit of inspiration for the midfield dynamo. Finally, Peter gives an update on Fulham vaccine take-up and we preview Sunday's trip to the in-form Nottingham Forest.
That's how you do it Fulham. In this episode, we review Fulham's brilliant performance in the West London Derby, as Aleksandar Mitrovic inspired the Whites to a 4-1 victory over our near neighbours, QPR. We look back at the match, discussing how Fulham managed to (eventually) overcome Mark Warburton's half-time tactical change, and turn the match back in their favour. We also discuss Marek Rodak's return to the starting XI and how Jean Michael-Seri's passing was on another level. In part two, we answer your questions, including a debate about where Tom Cairney could potentially fit back into this team. In the final part, we preview Cardiff on Wednesday as well as praise for Joe Bryan's instagram comebacks.
The second international break of the season has come to an end, and we return to action with a West London derby, as QPR make the short hop to Craven Cottage. We discuss the threat Mark Warburton's side will pose, and what side we expect Marco Silva to go with. Also, we have a quick round-up of the international break, as Antonee Robinson and Bobby Decordova-Reid's late matches potentially rule them out of this weekend's game In part two, we discuss the news that Tyrese Francois has rejected a contract at Fulham. We ask whether there is enough of a pathway for our youngsters, and whether Fulham's academy should be judged on how many players actually become first-team players. Finally, we answer your questions, some serious, but mostly silly. It's a debut for a new segment which we've named 'Rutzler Revealed'. It's award-winning stuff.
Craven Cottage is a special stadium, one that is truly unique in world football. However, no relationship is perfect, and on this podcast we ask about whether its necessary or possible to improve the atmosphere at the Cottage? We answer your questions about away fan relocation, safe standing and clappers. Are any of these realistic? Will the new stand help to raise the noise down by the river? Finally, we speak to Andrew Lawn from Along Come Norwich. A fanzine and fan group who have partnered with other Norwich City supporters groups to improve the atmosphere in the Barclay End at Carrow Road. We hear what steps they took, and the obstacles they faced to make their ambitions a reality
Even with a few days to stew it over, Fulham's defeat at Coventry still stings. In this episode, we look a bit deeper at what went wrong up in the Midlands, as Mark Robins' side pressed us to death in the second half at the CBS stadium. We then take a look at Matt O'Riley following Peter's interview with him earlier this week in The Athletic. With the FFC academy graduate now excelling in League One for MK Dons, and tipped for further success - why exactly did it not work for him at Craven Cottage? Finally, we briefly discuss Claudio Ranieri, following his appointment as Watford Head Coach. What was it that went so spectacularly wrong for him at Fulham? Will lightning strike twice at Vicarage Road?
Oh Fulham - why do you never make it easy? In this episode we discuss our 4-1 defeat to Coventry City, as the wheels well and truly fell off during a torrid second half. We analyse our calamitous defending, a poor penalty decision, why Silva's squad rotation backfired massively, and we also ask whether Gazzaniga is being unfairly maligned by some fans. Finally, we answer your questions on whether we are too reactionary, our second half slumps and whether Joe Bryan warrants the first choice LB spot.
Ten in ten, and has he even fully hit his stride yet? We look back on a wonderful evening for Aleksandar Mitrovic, as the Serbian striker slayed the swans on Wednesday, with a first-half finishing fiesta. We look back at all the key talking points from the game, a much needed win that puts FFC back in touch with the automatic promotion places. We also take a look at how Fulham's tactics are better suited to certain teams, following Peter's post-match analysis in The Athletic. Finally, we preview Coventry City away, a team that we haven't faced in the league, remarkably, since 1968!
Fulham may have scored more than any other side in the Championship, but after Saturday, it's hard to know how, as FFC somehow failed to win at Ashton Gate against a stubborn, but limited Bristol City side. We look back at the numerous missed opportunities, and how Fulham's lack of game management failed to deal with Nigel Pearson's second half tactical switch. Afterwards, we attempt to mythbust the Fabio Carvalho conspiracy, praise the Seri/Reed midfield combination and convince ourselves that it's fine to safely withdraw our hands from the 'panic' button. Finally, we preview Wednesday's game against Swansea City at the Cottage.
Despite playing against a strong Premier League XI, Fulham's second string performed admirably against Leeds United on Tuesday in the Carabao Cup third round, and it took 9 penalties each for the match to finally be settled.
In this podcast we look at which players will have given Marco Silva a selection headache, and a couple who probably won't. We also review the performance of Rodrigo Muniz, with the young Brazilian showing us real glimpses of promise, even if it was ultimately a frustrating night for him.
We then discuss Alfie Mawson, who Peter caught up with after the match. His return to fitness has been one of the real positives this season, and we ask if he might be in contention for a starting berth at centre-back.
Finally, we preview the trip to Bristol City on Saturday. The home side haven't won a league game since the end of January, I think we can all see where this may head...
What a f**king frustrating match... The Championship can be a cruel mistress at times, and on Saturday it just wasn't our day. A superbly taken Ejaria brace gave Reading a 2-1 smash-and-grab victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage, blowing HMS Piss the League slightly (and hopefully temporarily) off course. Fulham started well, looking lively and creating chances. However, it was our inability to take those chances that ultimately cost us. Rodrigo Muniz's first Fulham goal offered a consolation to the home supporters, on what was otherwise a pretty grim September Saturday at Craven Cottage. Coops, JK, AF and Dan break down Fulham's performance, discuss our best attacking options, answer your questions and briefly look ahead to our Carabao Cup tie against Leeds on Tuesday night.
We were hoping for a reaction to Saturday's defeat at Blackpool, and we certainly got one. Fulham found their scoring boots once again, as they stuck four past a Birmingham City side that were the championship's meanest defence, until yesterday.
In this episode, we discuss the brilliance across the pitch, with Harry Wilson, Tosin, Gazzaniga and debutant Nathanial Chalobah all playing key roles in the win.
In part two, we look ahead to Reading, and in particular, how do you stop John Swift? However, with the Royals possessing the leakiest defence in the league, we're hoping that Fulham's potent attack should be able to pick them off.
Finally, we discuss Adrion Pajaziti and reminisce over Pavel Pogrebnyak's electric start to life in a Fulham shirt back in 2012
The hangover from the international break spilled over into Fulham's trip to the seaside on Saturday as Marco Silva's Whites hit the first speed bump of the season, beaten by Neil Critchley's bold Blackpool at Bloomfield Road. We break down a game in which Fulham looked leggy, a little tired, and seemingly out of ideas without the magic of Fabio Carvalho pulling the strings. We also answer your questions on squad rotation and the first glimpses of Rodrigo Muniz. There's no time to weep in the Championship though, and we go again on Wednesday at St. Andrew's, so we look ahead at our next opponents and how their start of the season has been, before picking our starting lineups for the game.
The international break has finished, and Fulham are back on the road this Saturday, all the way to Blackpool for what will hopefully be a top day out by the seaside, with three points to match. We kick off the episode by rounding up the international break, with several Fulham players in action, and a potential injury worry for Harry Wilson. We then take a look at the Seasiders, who have not had an easy start to life back in the Championship. In part two, we have audio from Peter's interview with Kevin McDonald, who was released by Fulham last year and recently underwent a kidney transplant. He talks about how he left the club, his hopes of playing football again, and why he believes the midfield trio of him, Cairney and Johansen should have got a chance in the Premier League. Finally, we catch up with Thomas Young, who is back from Tokyo after winning gold in the T38 100m event. Thomas is a big Fulham fan, and will be at Blackpool on Saturday, so we asked him about his favourite FFC memories, and whether he will take part in a race against Antonee Robinson.
If you compare the Fulham in 2015 to the one we see today, it's pretty unrecognisable. One constant though, is American centre-back Tim Ream, who has experienced an extraordinary sequence of highs and lows since joining the Fulhamerica bandwagon from Bolton six years ago. In this latest 'big interview', we catch up with Tim and discuss his memories at Fulham, his newly found foray into social media, his endeavours outside of FFC and what he makes of the team that Marco Silva has built this season. Tim's school initiative is called Virtual Soccer Schools and can be found here: https://virtualsoccerschools.com/ And Tim's podcast Indirect can be found here: https://podfollow.com/1576620650
Fulham looked to Marco Silva's old club Watford on Deadline Day to bring in midfield reinforcements in the shape of Nathaniel Chalobah and Domingos Quina, as Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa left for the culinary delights and European football of Napoli.
Jack and Peter talk through how the day went down, who Fulham were in for, and how the new boys will fit into the midfield rotation.
Then we take a glance over the window as a whole, and how it's been a far more pleasant experience this time round - are Fulham finally learning the lessons of the past to build a squad that can compete and doesn't need huge reinvestment if we are promoted?
Finally, we talk to Brazilian journalist and Flamengo expert Cahê Mota to get some insight on the elusive, mysterious No. 9 option that is Rodrigo Muniz - our new boy from Brazil.
We could get really, really used to this. All the reaction to Fulham's 3-0 win against Stoke City at Craven Cottage, as the Whites steamrolled past the much fancied Potters with ease. In part two, we look at all the latest transfer rumours as Anguissa heads closer to the exit. Will Swansea's Matt Grimes be his replacement? Finally, we answer your questions - which includes a debate about a potential boxing match against a fellow podcast, watch this space...
Marco Silva rang the changes for Tuesday's trip to St Andrew's, with academy products Stansfield, Pajaziti and Francois all featuring. However, the result remained consistent, as FFC chalked up another W and progressed to the third round where we'll face Leeds United (4/10 on Sammy's new 'Kettering Spectrum' - all explained in the podcast). We then look ahead to the stern test that Stoke City will pose on Saturday. With both sides sitting pretty on 10 points from 4 games, it's clear that this will be Fulham's most difficult match of the season. How will Silva adapt with Ream, Tete and Carvalho all potential doubts for the match? Finally, we have a discussion at the end of the podcast about whether Fulham are in a position to stop becoming a yo-yo club.
It was about as routine as it gets for Fulham on Saturday, as Marco Silva's side swept past his former team Hull City at Craven Cottage. We discuss the star of the show, Fabio Carvalho, as he got his third goal in as many games. We also look at the injuries to Ream and Tete, and what impact they could potentially have if either of them need a lengthy spell out on the sidelines. In part two, we answer some of your questions, which include analysis on Rodak v Gazzaniga, and suggestions for improving the atmosphere at Craven Cottage. Finally, we briefly preview Tuesday night's Carabao Cup trip to Birmingham.
It seems churlish to call a 2-1 win a "thrashing", but that's exactly what Tuesday's win at Millwall felt like, as the Whites blitzed the lions at The Den, and in this episode we look back at all the key moments from the match. We discuss the blistering start, as Fabio Carvalho ripped Gary Rowett's team apart, and then the overall performance as Fulham attacked with wave after wave, before eventually having to hang on after Benik Afobe's extremely fortunate late goal pulled Millwall back into the contest. In part two, we take a look at the latest transfer rumours, with a few potential incoming signings, and worrying rumours of Tosin potentially touted as a Jan Vestergaard replacement at Southampton. Finally, we discuss the weekend's match against Hull, as Fulham look to win their first game at Craven Cottage in 6 months.
It was a game that had everything, bizarre goalkeeping, beautiful goals and even a red card to boot. We try and cram in analysis on everything that happened in 90 pulsating minutes. Afterwards, we tackle your questions, including some new FFC transfer rumours, the future of Jean Michael-Seri and what the ceiling is for young Fabio Carvalho. Finally, we have a quick preview of Millwall on Tuesday night.
We look ahead to Fulham's first away-day of the season against Huddersfield Town. Can FFC take advantage of the troubles at the John Smith's Stadium and take maximum points for the first time this season? Afterwards, we look in-depth at Tim Ream, who Peter spoke to exclusively in The Athletic. We discuss his role in this season's team, and whether he has been unfairly judged for his time in the Premier League. Also, we look at the potential incomings and outgoings, with Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa confirming that he does not want to play in the second tier for Fulham this season
Oh it's good to be back. 17 months after Craven Cottage last experienced a home crowd, Fulham also rolled back time by conceding a late equaliser to a team they had dominated for much of the match. In this podcast we reflect on Fulham's 1-1 draw against Middlesbrough at Craven Cottage, with impressive cameos, notable absentees and promising academy debuts all on display. We also answer your questions, which include debates around Tom Cairney's future, Gazzaniga and the contract situation around Fabio Carvalho.
Here we go then, another season back in the Championship for Fulham. Whilst the location may be familiar, the circumstances are certainly not, with FFC being hot favourites to not just get promoted, but win the division. In this episode we discuss whether the Whites deserve this title, and whether the performance against Charlton in the final pre-season friendly gave us any clues to how we will fare this season. In part two, we give our predictions for the season, including a glance at how some of our competitors in the division will do. In part three, we answer your questions, and yes, Peter gives us a transfer update.
With the 21/22 season just around the corner, we sink our teeth into the latest Fulham stories. We start with Marco Silva's first press conference in charge, where we saw the manager in a bullish mood regarding key players staying at Craven Cottage. Following that, we take a look at Fulham's new signings, Harry Wilson and Paulo Gazzaniga. We discuss the impact they could have on the team, and whether Gazzaniga will be content with being number two behind Marek Rodak? Finally, we discuss some transfer rumours (mainly the elusive Rodrigo Muniz) and the start dates for Fulham's women's team.
With 15 years under his belt at Fulham, Marcus Bettinelli's time at the club came to an end this summer. In an engaging and candid interview, Marcus chats to Sammy, Drew and Issy all about his time at the club and where his personal future lies. It's a fascinating insight into a player who was part of some incredible highs and lows at Fulham. He talks about the madness of the Magath years, the glory of Wembley to the difficulties he faced once Fulham reached the Premier League under Slavisa Jokanovic. He also talks about why he ended up leaving FFC, and what direction he sees the next part of his career taking. We also put your questions to him!
After waiting weeks for Fulham to make any kind of statement regarding the management situation at the club, suddenly it all happens at once. In this podcast, we react to the news that Marco Silva has been appointed as head coach at FFC on a three year contract. We discuss what his arrival could mean for the squad, whether his tactics will mean more attacking displays and what impact Luis Boa Morte could have on the morale amongst the fanbase.
After a hugely drawn-out process that took far longer than it needed, Scott Parker has finally departed Fulham and joined Bournemouth to become their new head coach. In this episode, Sammy, Jack and Peter look at all the events that surrounded Parker's protracted exit, and who the Khans might look to bring in as a replacement.
The whirlwind 20/21 Season is concluded, and sadly for Fulham it wasn't the positive ending we once dared to dream was possible. In this episode, Sammy, Jack and Peter review the season as a whole, as Fulham remained rooted to 18th place from December until the very end. We take the season bit-by-bit, from the disastrous start, to the big fightback in February, followed by the bitterest turn at the last. Finally, we each hand out some end of season awards, including some obvious and some not-so-obvious categories
Well, the pain is finally over and a dismal display on a dismal day at the Cottage brought the curtain down on a Premier League campaign that at one point looked genuinely optimistic, but ended in the same old story for Fulham - relegation to the Championship. The game against Newcastle had been touted as a final day shootout for survival back in March, but the table now makes for bleak reading - the Toon finished 17 points better off than Scott Parker's Whites. We discuss a strange game in front of a smattering of fans, and some slightly weird events, both on and off the pitch. We then head to a stack of questions, looking back at the season as a whole, and discussing the weird run of form that has seen us pick up just two points from the last thirty on offer. We then turn our attention to next season's Championship campaign and the huge squad overhaul that we assume will take place. As ever, we go again next year.
It may have been a futile affair, but it was a positive point on the road for Fulham as Joe Bryan snatched the Whites (or Yellows) a late draw in front of 10,000 fans at Old Trafford. We discuss the significance of the result and what the future holds for the aforementioned Bryan. Later on we look at the battle in the media between Scott Parker and the Khan's, as things turned a little ugly for both sides last week. Peter describes the "holding pattern" that the club finds itself in, before what promises to be a tumultuous summer at the club. Finally, we preview Newcastle and what might have been had Fulham not nose-dived in the last eight games. We also discuss whether the return of fans to Craven Cottage will change the team's desperate run of results at home.
With just two games left to go this season, Fulham look like a side who are ready for some time away from the pitch to lick their wounds and reassess the situation. It showed on Saturday, as Southampton dispatched the boys in yellow (still feels a bit odd) comfortably. There was one bright spark though, in the full debut and first senior goal for the Academy Jewel in the Crown Fabio Carvalho. Ben, Drew and Cam break it down, from the tactics at St. Mary's to the bigger questions surrounding the club at the moment, before answering a stack of questions on everything FFC.
With the dust starting to settle on Fulham's relegation, we pick apart more key issues that might arise over the next few months. We start by reacting to Rutzler The Relegator's article for The Athletic that understands Fulham would like Parker to remain as Head Coach. We ask whether that will be easy given the tasks ahead of him including an upcoming structure change and an apparent rift that has formed between himself and Aleksandar Mitrovic. Finally, we look at Saturday's game against Southampton and ponder whether Parker might make wholesale changes with one eye on next season.
It's all over. There shall be no great escape for Fulham this season, as our 2-0 defeat to Burnley on Monday night cemented our place back in the Championship next season. The inquest has already started, and it continues on today's episode, as we discuss the futures of Scott Parker, Tony Khan and Aleksandar Mitrovic. A tumultuous summer lies ahead, with the future direction of travel extremely unclear.
We start by looking at Parker's claims that the relegation fight is not dead, despite a nine point gap and only twelve points still up for grabs. Is it foolish optimism from Scott? Or does he have a point? We are now in miracle territory after last Saturday's defeat in the SW6 Derby. We also take a look at the Fulham Women's team, who currently play in the 5th tier but are slowly working their way back towards the level they were at the start of the century. Should the club be investing in the team faster? Or is a cautious approach the way to go? Finally, we look at Monday's game against Burnley at Craven Cottage.
In recent months Fulhamish has become part Fulham podcast, part group therapy session. So come and join us on the couch to mull over yet another disappointing week for the (not so mighty) whites...This time falling victim to a clinical Chelsea side in a frustrating SW6 derby. As Premier League relegation looks more and more inevitable Coops, Jarms, AF and Dom discuss what's gone wrong for Fulham this year, touching on how we can build and come back stronger next season.
Whilst Fulham were out of action this weekend, we'd hoped results with our relegation rivals might fall our way. It wasn't an unmitigated disaster, but positive results for Burnley and Newcastle were certainly a blow. We look at Fulham's fate, as they look odds-on to fall back into the second tier. Elsewhere in the podcast we look at Fulham's loan policy, a profile on promising youngster Tyrese Francois and Peter has dissected some reasons as to why Fulham have conceded so many goals in the final 15 minutes this season. Finally, we preview Saturday's SW6 Derby at Stamford Bridge, and ask whether it's a good time to be facing Thomas Tuchel's men?
The 2000/01 season was, simply put, one of the greatest in Fulham’s history. Under the tutelage of French maestro Jean Tigana, the Whites swept everyone in Division One aside en route to the title, to 101 points, and most importantly, to the Premier League. In this, the latest episode in our ‘unforgettable’ series, we look back on this incredible campaign, from our opening 11-game winning run to that iconic night – and goal celebration – at Ewood Park. We hear from some of the heroes who etched their name into Fulham history, and some of the fans who witnessed it. Narrated by Sammy James; featuring Kit Symons, Lee Clark, Barry Hayles, Sean Davis, John Collins, Drew Heatley, Hayley Davidson and Tom Greatrex. Production Credits: George Cooper, Peter Rutzler, Chris Waugh
We start off by discussing the European Super League from a Fulham perspective, and asking whether Shahid Khan would have been tempted to join given the opportunity. We then move on to discussing Fulham's recent problem of conceding late goals, an issue that has cost us dear in our hunt for survival in recent weeks. Also, we look at whether Burnley are the new team to try and catch or would a 20 point deduction for Arsenal potentially be what's needed to save us?
Why oh why must supporting Fulham be like this? Expect howls of pain and agony in this podcast, as we dissect Arsenal's late equaliser that cost Fulham two points that could have been a start of an unlikely escape. We discuss the impact this new blow could have, how we start preparing for a likely return to the Championship and also some reaction to the announcement of the European Super League
The spreadsheets are out, can Fulham stay in the Premier League? It's looking mighty difficult, and that challenge starts this Sunday at the Emirates as Fulham face Arsenal. In this episode, we look at Fulham's slim chances of survival and also ask whether now is the right time for an inquest. Also, we ask which personnel we want to see going forward into these crunch six matches. Finally, we are excited to announce that a new episode of Fulhamish's documentary series 'unforgettable' about our triumphant 2000/01 season will be released on Sunday 25th April. It's being released in conjunction with Peter's exceptional long-read on The Athletic about that memorable campaign, and that's available to read on the app now.
It's bleak now, and you are officially allowed to panic. In this episode, we reflect on Fulham's late defeat against Wolves, which was compounded by Newcastle's win at Burnley. We start the inquest, asking why Fulham find themselves in this precarious position with just 6 games remaining. What on earth can Scott Parker and his coaching staff do to get this team firing in the final half dozen matches?
We take another look back at Sunday's desperate collapse at Villa, which leaves Scott Parker's side on the canvas, and needing a positive result against Wolves to put their survival bid back on track. In this episode, we debate how Fulham can hopefully turn things around against Nuno's out-of-form Wolves side. We then discuss Mitrovic, and his re-ignition against Villa that was dampened by the result. Is he now a guaranteed starter? Finally, we look at Newcastle's trip to Burnley, and ask whether West Brom are back in the race following their astonishing win at Stamford Bridge.
17 minutes of Heaven were followed by a trip through purgatory and into the depths below as Fulham threw away a winning position with an Easter Sunday capitulation at Villa Park. It left Scott Parker and the boys hoping for a post-Paschal resurrection of form to stay in the Premier League. We look back at an incredibly disheartening afternoon in the Midlands and break down just where things went wrong for the Whites. In the second part we have an exclusive chat from The Athletic between Scott Parker and Alan Shearer, focusing on life in a relegation battle and whether it will come down to a final day shootout between two clubs in black and white this season. We discuss their interview, and then look ahead to the game against Wolves in just five days time, which gives Fulham a crucial lifeline to bounce straight back from Sunday's disappointment
We kick-off by rounding-up the FFC players that were on international duty, as Mitro broke records, and several Fulham players played key roles in AFCON qualifiers across the continent. We also preview Sunday's game against Villa, as Scott Parker's side look to bridge that gap to 17th. Then in part 2, we take a look at Fulham's table-topping U18s, who host some impressive players under the watchful eye of Steve Wigley. Peter gives us his assessment after he watched them comfortably beat West Ham on Tuesday. Finally, we ask the big question on every Fulham fan's lips right now, does Mitro's form for Serbia warrant him a starting berth on Sunday?
On this international break special, we start by taking a look at Aleksandar Mitrovic returning to scoring ways for Serbia and have a final word on Friday's defeat at the hands of Leeds. We then run the rule on Newcastle, the team that Fulham are most likely to catch if they want to achieve Premier League safety. We speak to Chris Waugh, the Athletic's Newcastle correspondent on the feeling in the North-East following a rough match for the toon down in Brighton. Is all hope lost? Or will the return of key players like Wilson and Saint-Maximin spell trouble for FFC? Finally, we speak to Farrell Monk about the FST's annual survey results which were announced earlier this week.
LivWe discuss Friday night's defeat to Leeds at the Cottage, a real blow to Fulham's ambitions of staying in the Premier League. We look at what went wrong and whether we think the defensive mistakes we saw are the start of a trend?
We also discuss Newcastle's defeat at Brighton, which surely leaves the battle to stay up as a two-horse race. Also, we get the thoughts of Jack and Loz and Cam Ramsey, what it's like to blog about Fulham in the behind-closed-doors era.
We look back at Saturday's defeat to Manchester City and reflect on a good performance undermined by mistakes, before turning our attention to Friday's game against Leeds. Can Fulham get a much needed win before the Brighton v Newcastle game later on in the weekend? Later on in the podcast, on the 11th anniversary of Clint Dempsey's chip against Juventus, we discuss our favourite ever "technical" goals by Fulham, with some great suggestions from memory lane thrown in by Fulhamish listeners. Then, Dom chats to Conor McGilligan from the One Leeds Fan Channel to get an opposition preview ahead of this weekend's tie against Marcelo Bielsa's team.
A reflection on Fulham's 3-0 defeat to the champions-elect Manchester City at Craven Cottage, as the Whites came unstuck in the second-half due to some unfortunate errors from our usually rock solid defence. We look at Parker's tactics, Mitrovic's substitute performance, and our impressive offside trap. We also answer your questions on the Mitro v Maja debate, which loanee we'd sign permanently (if it could only be one) and what part of attending matches again we are most looking forward to.
A few days on from Fulham's magnificent win at Anfield, we have the final say on that game and what it means for our expectations as fans. Does the pressure change on the team now most pundits think Scott Parker's men will achieve safety?
We preview the Manchester City game, and get an opposition view from Lawrence Bury. Can Fulham spring the ultimate surprise and get a result against Pep's runaway leaders?
Then, we take a look at Fulham's stats following Peter's brilliant summary with Tom Worville in the Athletic. We are joined by Fulhamish's stats guru George Singer, to get his perspective on everything from xGOT to Field Tilt and PPDA.
One of the great Fulham days. In this podcast we discuss our win at Anfield against the champions Liverpool, as Mario Lemina's first half strike was enough to give Scotty Parker's mighty whites all three points. We discuss all the positives from the match, including Fulham's rock-solid defence, the mentality in the dressing room, and great midfield displays from Reed and Lemina. Finally, we tackle your questions, ranging from a potential lack of respect by Jurgen Klopp, to a premature debate over who should be player of the season.
You can accept a defeat when you don't play well, you can accept a defeat when luck is against you, but when you score legitimate goals that are disallowed, it's a bitter pill to swallow. In today's podcast, we look back at Fulham's 1-0 defeat by Spurs, in a game marred by one moment. We know that VAR and referee chat can be dull, but after yesterday's debacle it feels necessary. Can the binary nature of VAR ever work in a fluid game that sometimes requires some common sense? Away from officiating, we do also discuss the actual game, which saw Fulham dominate the second-half after a shaky first where Spurs' lethal front four saw plenty of the ball. Finally, we preview Sunday's trip to Anfield, with the hosts in a bizarre situation of trying to avoid a sixth consecutive loss at home. Can Fulham heap more misery on Jurgen Klopp's depleted reds?
Better team, got a point. Where have we heard that before? In today's podcast we look at Sunday's dominant performance over Palace that sadly only yielded a 0-0 draw. We discuss one of the worst halves of football in living memory, how it was a missed opportunity to close the gap at the bottom, and why Parker's subs were a mixed bag in terms of success. In the final part of the show, we preview Thursday evening's rearranged game against Spurs at the Cottage.
We look at Fulham's impressive defensive record, and how they've only conceded an average of one goal per game in the last 22 league matches.
There's the last word on Saturday's win against Sheffield United, before looking at whether Fulham can claim their first win in 20 London league derbies, away at Selhurst Park.
We also discuss Ola Aina's recent run of form, before turning our attention to Josh Maja. Peter Rutzler has recently been speaking to key stakeholders in his development, which has gone full circle back to Fulham. We look at whether he was unfairly portrayed in the Netflix documentary 'Sunderland Til' I Die', and get a word from former Bordeaux assistant Manuel Cordeiro on his progress whilst in France.
It was definitely not a classic, but Fulham's win against Sheffield United was much needed, taking us just a single win from Newcastle in 17th. In this episode, we look back at all the talking points from our narrow win against the Blades. We debate whether Scott rotated his squad well in this match, and why we initially struggled to break down United's low block. And did Chris Wilder have a right to be incensed by the non-award of a penalty at the end of the game. We then take a look at your questions, which included Anguissa's wayward shooting, could our play-off experience help in high-pressure matches, and whether Mitro gets back in the side for the Palace match.
Fulham's trip to Lancashire was not, as hoped, the Greatest Show on Turf, and our long wait for a win at the Moor stretches onwards. It was ugly, scrappy and lacked genuine quality at both ends, and in the end, a point was probably about fair - even if it wasn't what Scott Parker was hoping for. We look back at the ebbs and flows of the game, and then take a broader look at the relegation battle, with Newcastle now 6 points above Fulham in the quest for survival. Can anybody else get dragged in, or is this a two-way shoot out? And where can it be won and lost Finally, we fast-forward to Saturday's crunch match against bottom side Sheffield United at the Cottage, who despite a bad year, have had a small resurgence of late. We're not going to beat about the bush - three points or nothing, win or bust, and a big test for Scotty's boys. Like most things with Fulham, it's going to be emotional.
It's a win! Fulham picked up three points in the league at Goodison Park for the first time, well, ever - as new boy Josh Maja grabbed the headlines with a brace on his full debut - one of several Super Eagles in SW6 soaring into survival’s sight. The Goodison Curse broken, the winless streak snapped, smiles fully back on faces - although this is just the start if the Whites are truly to pull off the remarkable. Jack, Ben, Cam and Dan Crawford look at a brilliant performance up on Merseyside, as well as taking a deeper dive into Harrison Reed's crucial role, our newly minted left-back conundrum after Ola Aina's display, whether Anguissa takes back a starting place, and how this team shapes up going forward. There's a stack of your questions too! Finally, we face up to another Hoodoo trip for Fulham - this time in the shape of Turf Moor, as we look towards another crucial game in Fulham's bid to survive in the Premier League.
Sammy, Jack and Peter have the final word on our 0-0 draw against the Hammers, before taking a look at Sunday's trip to Goodison Park. Can Fulham take advantage of Everton's exertion during their 120 minute thriller against Spurs on Wednesday night?
Then we turn our attention to the news about Harvey Elliott's reported £4.3million tribunal fee. We discuss the morality of big clubs being able to take promising players from smaller clubs for relatively low fees, whilst acknowledging of course, that this is something FFC have used to their advantage too.
Another point, another good performance and sadly, another step closer to relegation. We look back on Fulham's goalless draw against the Hammers, which cuts Fulham further adrift from the pack above. We discuss Scott's tactics, as he successfully reverts to a back-four, his bizarre re-selection of Cavaleiro up-top and whether Fulham actually have a gameplan in the final third. Finally, we go through your questions, and try to find some reasons to be positive, despite the looming gap to safety.
We look back at the defeat at the hands of Leicester City, as an 8 point gap opened up between Fulham and 17th place. It all means survival is looking like a thinner and thinner possibility, especially with Fulham creating so few chances. We then turn our attention to the deadline day activity as Josh Maja arrived in SW6 and three players headed out on loan. Was it shrewd business? Or was it a late panic purchase by the Fulham hierarchy? Finally, we look at the challenge an in-form West Ham will pose at the Cottage on Saturday, with three points desperately needed if Parker's men are to stay in the fight. SPECIAL OFFER!

It was another case of two points dropped for Fulham as a trip to The Hawthorns came and went without that elusive win for FFC. And with other results not going our way this weekend, the Whites are starting to fall adrift of the pack in the fight for survival.
We break down a game of two halves, with an excellent opening 45 being thrown away with a poor second period, and look at just why this one felt so costly for Scott Parker's men.
There's plenty of questions too, as we talk everything from Mitrovic's return to the side, where the wins will come from, how this team stacks up to the 2018/19 side, recruitment, and what we'd like to ask our Director of Football if we were given the opportunity.
Finally, we take a quick look ahead to Wednesday's game against Leicester City at the Cottage, and discuss how we'd go about doing the double over the Foxes in the strangest of all seasons.
A review of Fulham's 0-0 draw at the Amex stadium, as we walked away from Brighton with a frankly undeserved point. We look back at Parker's tactics, which clearly work defensively, but could be stifling the team in attack. We ask once again if Mitro is the answer instead of Cav. We then take a look at potential incoming transfers, with the deadline just four days away. Can Fulham pull a striker out of the bag last minute? It's looking unlikely, but we discuss a few options including Odion Ighalo and Josh Maja. Finally, we look ahead to West Brom on Saturday, which everybody unanimously agrees, is a MUST win.

We look back at a bad day for the Whites as Fulham crashed out of the FA Cup in the Fourth Round at the hands of relegation rivals Burnley. We discuss the players who have played themselves into (or out of) Scott's plans for the rest of the campaign, and we take a deeper dive into how the team should approach an absolutely crucial clash with Brighton on Wednesday night, before finishing with a chat about our transfer plans and any expected activity, in or out, over the next week or two.

All the reaction to Fulham's narrow defeat by Manchester United at Craven Cottage on Wednesday night. In this episode Sammy, Jack and The Athletic's Peter Rutzler ask why FFC can't seem to turn good performances into good results. We analyse some of the defensive weaknesses that Solksjaer's team exposed, and whether now is the time to bring Mitrovic back in for Ivan Cavaleiro. We then take a look ahead to Sunday's FA Cup 4th round tie against Burnley, in which many expect Scott to make sweeping changes.
A review of Saturday's SW6 Derby, as Antonee Robinson's red card swung the game in favour of our opponents from up the road. We look back at all the key events, including Cavaleiro's miss and Fulham's valiant effort to keep the blues at bay in the second half. Finally, we take a look at Wednesday's game against Manchester United, as the fixtures and suspensions pile up for FFC.
A look back at Wednesday night's draw against Spurs, as Ivan Cavaleiro's header secured the Whites a point on their first visit to the shiny new stadium. Sammy, Jack and The Athletic's Peter Rutzler discuss Alphonse Areola's exceptional performance, Lookman's impact from the bench, and how Fulham could have won it late if Aboubakar Kamara had just got his head up. We also talk about Scott Parker, and how he continues to overcome all obstacles thrown at him, something outlined in Peter's latest piece for The Athletic. We then preview Saturday's SW6 Derby, as Fulham look to pick up their first win against the Blues since 2006 and heap more misery upon Frank Lampard's side. SPECIAL JANUARY OFFER!

We break down the FA Cup 3rd Round tie where Fulham dispatched QPR on Saturday, but needed 120 minutes to get the job done. We look at the players who returned from injury before addressing your questions, which centred around solving a problem like Ruben Loftus-Cheek, whose parent club we play next. We take a quick look at how we'd set up for that game, and how we can pay Frank Lampard back for years of pain by beating him on Friday night.
In today's podcast we discuss the latest situation at Fulham as The Whites aim to play an actual game of football for the first time in a fortnight against QPR. We then move on to the Aleksandar Mitrović situation after pictures on social media showed him and Luka Milivojević breaking social distancing rules on New Year's Eve. We ask how Fulham should respond. Afterwards, we look at Bobby DeCordova-Reid, a player who is flourishing for Fulham in an unfamiliar right-sided wing-back role. This is following Peter's profile on him which you can read on the Athletic. Finally, we preview the FA Cup match against near neighbours QPR. Dom speaks to Rangers fan and YouTuber James Allcott to get an opposition lowdown, before Sammy, Jack and Peter discuss the importance of the match, followed by who we'd like to see make Scott's starting XI.
It's a three-ton for Fulhamish, and without any FFC games to discuss, we went very off-piste today, with a special podcast featuring the original podcast crew of Sammy, Jack, Dom, Ben and Farrell. We debate whether the cancelled Fulham games will be positive or negative; and discuss who we'd like to sign in January. We also take on the lighter topics of our favourite Fulham kits, whether Frank Lampard is fit to wash Scott Parker's brogues, and the strangest Fulham moments since we started the podcast in 2016. Finally, we talk a bit about Fulhamish itself and try to guess what Fulhamish might be discussing when episode 600 drops.
We discuss the events of the past few days, as Fulham's match at Tottenham was called off due to multiple covid-19 cases within the club. Jack, Sammy and Farrell discuss the ramifications of the postponement, and Peter Rutzler gives his version of events after breaking the story for The Athletic. We also preview Sunday's match at Burnley which is now, of course, in doubt. Finally, on Sunday at 6.30pm Fulhamish are recording our 300th episode of the podcast. To celebrate, we are going to record the episode live on our YouTube channel - so come along and see a Fulhamish recording, warts and all. You'll also be able to ask us questions live as we go.
We give our thoughts on Fulham's second successive 0-0 draw at the Cottage, and our fourth stalemate in a row as Southampton visited on Boxing Day in a game of few chances and even less excitement. There's a stack of questions in the mailbag. We discuss the futures of Aleksandar Mitrovic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek and how they fit into the side, and the needs Fulham must address in January if they're to secure a second successive season in the top flight. And finally, we look ahead to the Tottenham game with our London rivals themselves having had a bit of a blip after a flying start to the season, and we ask how we can stop Kane and Son.
A final word on the draw at Newcastle, as Joachim Andersen's red card is rescinded following his penalty incident with Callum Wilson. We ask whether Fulham are showing VAR naivety and whether our poor attacking record in the second half of matches are an issue to worry about? Then, we look back at Fulham's summer 2020 transfers and review how we performed in the market after what was a difficult and contentious few weeks of activity. We then turn our eyes to the January transfer window, and the incomings and outgoings that we might see from Motspur Park. Finally, we preview the Southampton game on Boxing Day with Southampton matchday magazine writer Sam Tighe.
A look at Saturday night's draw at Newcastle, as Scott's men put in a brilliant performance only to be undone by a crazy moment of refereeing, as Callum Wilson dubiously won, and scored, an equalising penalty. We look back at all the key moments from the game, including returns for Tom Cairney and Aleksandar Mitrovic, as well as further contentious decisions from the officials. We also ask who will deputise for Joachim Andersen while he's suspended, and debate how Fulham will fare over the festive season.
A review of Wednesday's goalless draw at Craven Cottage, which as you will probably know by now, doesn't happen all that often. We discuss whether Scott Parker was correct to stick with his recent tactics against a lower calibre of opposition, and another in-depth chat about whether Loftus-Cheek can make a positive impact to this side. We then answer your questions which includes a dissection of the Premier League relegation fight, and whether Fulham's change in mentality means we should expect to see more stalemates like we did this week. Finally, we preview Saturday's game against Newcastle. Can Fulham get an important three points in the north-east just before Christmas?
A full review of Sunday's 1-1 draw against Liverpool, as Fulham bossed the Premier League champions for the first half On the agenda was Mitrovic being left out of the squad, impressive performances by multiple players and of course, both penalty incidents. We then take a look at your questions which centre around numerous parts of the team, including praise for Adarabayio, Aina and Decordova-Reid. We also mention Klopp's comments about Fulham's "long-ball" tactics. Finally, we have a brief preview of Wednesday's match against Brighton, with Fulham able to leapfrog the Seagulls if they can claim three points.
We start by previewing this Sunday's match against Liverpool at Craven Cottage, a monumental day which sees fans return to SW6 for the first time since February. We ask if Fulham can expose Liverpool's injury problems and fatigue. And what impact will the fans in attendance have on proceedings? Afterwards, Sammy chats to Tom Greatrex, chair of the Fulham Supporters Trust to find out how the ticket application process has been handled, and what the fans in attendance can expect when they turn up either on Sunday. In part two, we discuss Peter Rutzler's feature piece with Tom Cairney, which looks at the skipper's evolution in the five years he's been at Fulham. We chat about his role in the team this season and what his aspirations are for the rest of his career. Finally, Jack chats to Neil Atkinson from The Anfield Wrap to get a lowdown on the Reds ahead of Sunday's match.
We look back at Saturday's routine defeat against Manchester City as Fulham put in a fairly resilient performance, but not one that could get even the most optimistic Fulham fan off their seat. We discuss Parker's tactics, which were pretty much undone within the opening half hour. We also discuss the penalty, which was the very definition of "soft". Then, we have a look at your questions, mainly centering around the future of Aleksandar Mitrovic, who yet again didn't start for FFC. Finally, we touch on the return of fans to Craven Cottage from next week and ask whether it will boost Fulham's fortunes
In today's episode we have the final word on Monday's win over Leicester, as Scott shuffled his pack and produced a stunning performance against one of the league's best sides. What can Scott take forward into Saturday's difficult game at the Etihad Stadium? Could Tom Cairney potentially come back into the starting XI? We take an in-depth look at Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa, following Peter's profile on him earlier this week in The Athletic. He's a player who has really shone this season, particularly during Monday's game at the King Power Stadium. We ask why it's taken Anguissa a bit longer to finally realise his potential in SW6 and we get some insight from the Cameroon national team coach, Toni Conceição. Finally, we get an opposition view from Steven Mcinerney of the Esteemed Kompany YouTube channel, as Fulham go in search of more unlikely points against Pep Guardiola's side.
Jack, Coops, Drew & Guy look back at three huge points against Leicester City - a first and hard-earned away win for the season which took Fulham out of the relegation zone. We examine the lineup and changes that propelled the Whites up the table and, for once, we can talk about a penalty converted to perfection. Amidst the elation, however, there is deep sadness. This week we lost a true gentleman of the game, and a Fulham cult hero, in Papa Bouba Diop. There's time for some reflection of the big man, the goals he scored, and the joy he brought to all Fulham fans. Today's performance is one he would have been proud of, and it was a classy gesture from Ademola Lookman to hold up his Senegal shirt after scoring. Fulham face City next, and there's also a look at what to expect from that game, as well as a glance ahead to the FA Cup 3rd Round, where we learned tonight that we'll be facing local rivals Queen's Park Rangers, as we get the Cup rolling in 2021.

Sammy, Jack and Peter look back at all the week's Fulham topics, including the team's style of play which lead to many errors in the Everton game and ultimately numerous chances conceded. We also discuss the potential return of fans to Craven Cottage after the UK government's announcements this week.
Then, we talk to Dr Robin Jackson, senior lecturer in sports psychology at Loughborough University about Fulham's failure to score all of our penalties this season. He gives us his insight into how penalty takers need to perform under pressure and figure out a strategy that gives them a greater chance of a positive outcome.
Finally, Dom chats to Leicester City YouTuber Lee Chappy to get an opposition perspective on all things at the King Power Stadium ahead of Monday evening's game.

We look back at Sunday's 3-2 defeat at home to Everton in an entertaining match where competent defending was in short supply. Fulham were valiant, but ultimately undone by sloppy moments at the back, reminiscent of our games earlier this season. We discuss Fulham's performance without Mitro, our problems at full-back and more penalty drama, as Ivan Cavaeleiro missed our third spot-kick of the season. Your questions focus on Tom Cairney and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, plus a few humorous suggestions as to who could be our next penalty taker. SPECIAL OFFER!

We start with a Fulham round-up from the international break, and of course we discuss Mitro's missed penalty for Serbia, which meant that they didn't quality for Euro 2020. We also discuss Rodak's strong performances and how Stefan Johansen ended up at the centre of a covid-fuelled storm during his time with the Norwegian team. Then we take a look at Joachim Andersen in-depth, after Peter's excellent profile on him which charted his rise from Denmark to the Premier League via Holland, Italy and France. Finally, we look ahead to Sunday's game against Everton with Dom chatting to Tom Clarke of The Toffee Blues to get an opposition view from Goodison Park. SPECIAL OFFER!

Jack and Peter sit down to discuss Fulham's Premier League start, with eight games gone and a lot of lessons learned; before looking at how it's imperative to keep improving over the next four games against difficult opposition. The midfield has been a plus point in recent weeks, but how do you bring in Ruben Loftus-Cheek - perhaps Fulham's best player on paper - and make use of him if we're going to see Fulham kick-on? There's also praise for Bobby De Cordova-Reid, our 'Swiss Army Knife' who's bringing more to the side than just some stability on the right. Finally, we round things off with a look at our lads on international duty, if you want to keep an eye on the International Whites. SPECIAL OFFER!

A look back at Fulham's narrow defeat at West Ham, as Ademola Lookman inexplicably decided to panenka a 98th minute penalty straight into the gloves of Łukasz Fabiański.
We discuss that incident in detail, look at an otherwise positive performance and whether Tomáš Souček's goal should have counted.
Was it Fulham's strongest defensive performance of the season so far? And are we more confident of survival than in 18/19?

The Athletic's Peter Rutzler shares his thoughts on Fulham's first win of the season against West Brom. How much will it boost the team psychologically to not only get the first three points, but also keep a clean sheet in such an important match?
We then move on to discuss Fulham's brand new defence and ask whether a team with a new back five has ever succeeded in the Premier League?
We then move on to discuss Tom Cairney, and his role in the team following a brilliant MotM performance on Monday night. We discuss TC's best position and how he can kick on this year.
Finally, we preview the West Ham game with Dan Lawless from West Ham Fan TV.

The Fulhamish panel look back at Fulham's first Premier League win of the season, as West Brom were put to the sword at Craven Cottage.
With Fulham dominant from start to finish, there's a lot of praise for Tom Cairney and co, as well as two-assists for Aleksandar Mitrovic and our flying full-back combination.
We answer your questions about how the midfield starts to look throughout the season, how the CB partnership started, Scott Parker's tactics, and of course, how you solve a problem like our right wing. There's a little look forward to West Ham as well. You Whites!
On today's podcast, we have some news about how the Fulhamish podcast is partnering with The Athletic. This is a collaboration we are really excited about, and hopefully it will mean we can bring you bigger and better FFC coverage going forward. As part of a new weekly feature, we speak to the Athletic's Fulham correspondent, Peter Rutzler to discuss how he's finding life covering Fulham, what the behind-closed-doors experience is like at Craven Cottage and what he expects from this weekend's match against West Brom. We go into more detail on that massive match on Monday, as Sammy speaks to The Athletic's West Brom correspondent Steve Madeley, to get the lowdown on how the baggies are feeling ahead of the undoubted six-pointer.

It was a case of deja-vu for Fulham on Saturday as Crystal Palace "out-Palaced" us at Craven Cottage with two sucker-punch goals that pierced through Fulham's pretty, but pointless possession. In this episode we look at Scott's questionable line-up, Tom Cairney losing his runners and whether we are just too "jejune" to mount a serious survival stint.
We then take a look at your questions which centre around the future of Parker, what to do about Mitro and what our favourite cat colour is. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
In this episode of Fulhamish we look ahead to Saturday's match against Crystal Palace, as Fulham go on the hunt for their first three points of the season. Diyar Kurnaz from Back Of The Nest gives us the lowdown on all things Palace after what has been a mixed start of the season for them, and he also talks about how he and many Eagles fans think a change of the guard is needed at Selhurst Park. Also, Jack speaks to Tyler Adams of RB Leipzig and the USMNT to get his thoughts on two of his teammates who have recently joined Fulham, Ademola Lookman and Antonee Robinson. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
So near, yet so far. Fulham got their first Premier League point of the season, but came so close to getting all three. Ademola Lookman's incredible solo goal was offset by Aleksandar Mitrovic missing a penalty, giving another away and missing a host of chances to win it.
We discuss all the key incidents in the game, including positive debuts for Tosin Adarabioyo and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, where Harrison Reed fits back into the side and who does Scott Parker leave out of his 25 man squad all together? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
In this episode, we discuss all the ramifications from the leaking of project "Big Picture" and the Premier League's new £14.95 PPV charge to watch matches that aren't scheduled by either Sky, BT or Amazon. Also, we look ahead to Sunday's trip to Bramall Lane, as Fulham face fellow pointless side Sheffield United. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Fulham brought three new faces through the door on Transfer Deadline Day, finally addressing the need for central defensive reinforcements with the additions of Joachim Andersen from Lyon and Tosin Adarabioyo from Manchester City, and then topping off the day with Ruben Loftus-Cheek arriving on loan from that lot down the road. We discuss our new recruits, how they might fit in, and take a look at the window as a whole.
We also look back at the Wolves game at the weekend, where a vastly improved Fulham were beaten 1-0 at Molineux, in a game which we might well have taken something out of but for AK47's profligacy, and yet the outcome remained the same - nil points. To round things off, there's a quick look at some players from the division below who might add that final sparkle, with the EFL window still open for another week, making for some discussions on Bournemouth's Joshua King and Norwich City pair Todd Cantwell and Emi Buendia. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
It may only be the Carabao Cup, it may not pale into significance compared to Wembley, but Thursday's match against Brentford was humiliating at best, as Fulham fell apart at their new ground. We dissect the game, and look at the shambles surrounding FFC right now.
On the agenda is Fulham's apparent lack of coaching, a transfer policy that is in ruins and a state of the club which is in disarray. We try and stay as positive as we can, but it's hard to find that optimism when things look so bleak for the season ahead.
Also, we preview the trip to Wolves on Sunday, and speak to Dave Azzopardi from Talking Wolves all about how things are shaping up in the opposition camp. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Three games in, and Fulham's Premier League return is already a steaming hot mess of shite. In this episode, we try to wade through everything that went wrong in Fulham's 3-0 defeat to Aston Villa.
Strap in, it's going to be a tough ride. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
It's two wins from two for Fulham this season, but sadly only in the Carabao Cup. In this episode we look back at FFC's unconvincing 2-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday.
On the agenda is whether Marek Rodak should keep his place, if Antonee Robinson deserves a starting berth and was Jean Michael Seri's a one-off cameo, or a sign that he's back for the season?
At the end of the podcast we preview Aston Villa's trip to the Cottage with Dan Bardell from The Athletic and the Villa View. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Zero points and seven conceded, not an ideal start to life back in the Premier League. In this episode we discuss Fulham's 4-3 defeat at Elland Road as our defence crumbled time after time, and left plenty of FFC fans wondering why on earth a centre-back hasn't been signed.
Also on the agenda is a discussion over Tony Khan, Parker's anger after the game and the panel give their views on debuts for Areola and Tete. We also preview Wednesday's (not Tuesday's) Carabao Cup match against Sheffield Wednesday at the Cottage. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Fulham sweep past Ipswich in the Carabao Cup Second Round to book a mouthwatering* clash with Sheffield Wednesday under the lights at the Cottage next week. We break down a night with numerous debuts for the Whites, as well as some returning faces, as Mitro brought up his half-century for the club with the winner.
Then we look forward to our clash with Leeds at the weekend, by talking to Jon Mackenzie of the All Stats Aren't We podcast to get the view from behind enemy lines and dive a little bit into what we can expect from our fellow newly-promoted cousins from up the M1, and the enigma that is Marcelo Bielsa.

Back in the Premier League, and it was far from an ideal start. In today's episode we look back at Fulham's 3-0 defeat to Arsenal in the Premier League's opening match. We ask if Scott was correct to stick with trusted players in the starting XI, what we do about the centre-back situation, and what positives we can take from a difficult afternoon.
In part two, we look ahead to Wednesday's match at Ipswich, before answering your questions, which includes a debate over what Chinese meal Scott Parker had for dinner on Saturday night. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

That was quick. We're back, in more ways than one. As we hurtle towards the Premier League opener in less than a week; there's a lingering sense of uncertainty in the air. We break down how we're feeling about the opener against Arsenal, and then move into a general discussion of every question we can think of - from Fulham's transfers to the question of who sorts the midfield to some clarity on how ticketing at the Cottage is going to work - we try to get through as much as possible.

It may be under a month since Fulham won promotion to the Premier League by defeating Brentford at Wembley (that sentence will never get old), but in under a fortnight the Whites will kick-off the Premier League season against Arsenal at Craven Cottage.
In today's podcast we briefly analyse Fulham's fixture list, before taking a look at our one confirmed transfer, Antonee Robinson from Wigan Athletic. Then, we discuss the main Fulham rumours doing the rounds at the moment, including Harrison Reed, Mario Lemina and Paolo Gazzaniga.
Then in part two, we answer all your questions, which include discussions about Fulham's ticket ballots for fixtures this season, who should mark Messi if he signs for Manchester City and who we should sign at CB to partner Michael Hector. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Now that the dust has settled on Fulham's win over Brentford in the Championship play-off final at Wembley, we sit down to look at the 19/20 season in its entirety, a campaign which will never be forgotten for so many reasons.
The panel give their favourite game, goal and moment of the season, before listing three pivotal incidents in the season. We then finish off with a bunch of your questions which range from VAR in the Premier League to a comparison of the 2018 promotion winning side and the 2020 one. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
We bloody did it! Fulham are in the Premier League once again, as we defeated our noisy neighbours Brentford in the play-off final at Wembley to secure a second promotion in just over two years. Joe Bryan was the man of the moment, with two beautiful extra-time goals.
We discuss all the key talking points from the game, including how Scott nailed his tactics, how Fulham's defence coped with BMW and the brilliant execution behind Joe Bryan's opening goal. We then looked at the significance of yesterday's win, and answered some of your questions. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Here it is then. The big one. The most expensive game in football, for the second time in three years. It's a bit different though. No fans, no white wall, no Ryan Sessegnon to play the killer pass. Oh, and there's the small matter that it's a West London Derby against that mob from up the road who play in red and white.
We break down everything you need to know about Tuesday night's game against Brentford whilst sitting on Wembley Way, and brought in Billy 'The Bee' Grant of Beesotted to give us the word from inside the opposition camp.
This whole thing is weird, full of ups and downs, positives and negatives, but at the end of the day - it's the Playoff Final and there's so much more than bragging rights on the line. But it's perhaps the bragging rights that matter most. You Whites. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
It was tense, but we made it. Fulham will play in their second Championship play-off final in three years following their narrow defeat against Cardiff City in the second-leg of the semi-final at Craven Cottage.
This episode is an instant reaction to tonight’s nervy game, and a bit of a preview to the challenge that awaits us on Tuesday against Brentford. Plus, we answer some of your questions too. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
How about that, then! We dissect a devastatingly professional performance in South Wales as Josh Onomah scores one of the goals of the season and Neeskens Kebano adds another peach to his free-kick scrapbook to put one foot on Wembley Way for Fulham, even without the imposing figure of Aleksandar Mitrovic leading the line.
We also ask who we’d rather face at Wembley if we're to get through the second leg, and answer all your questions. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
On a crazy night of Championship football Fulham scrapped out a draw with Wigan, making it seven-matches unbeaten as they head into a looming play-off clash with Cardiff. It was a stomach-turning start but thanks to a moment of Johan-Cruyff-like magic Scott Parker's men managed to rescue a point.
Hopes of going straight up to the Premier League were always slender at best on this late-day roller-coaster.
In this podcast we break down our frantic night at the DW Stadium, the play-off road and who has done enough to warrant a place in the semi-final starting XI.
Sammy also spoke to Cardiff fan Ben James (not his brother) from View From The Ninian podcast about how Cardiff fans are feeling going into these play-offs. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
If anyone tries to claim a league other than the Championship is the best in the world, show them the highlights of Saturday’s 5-3 clash with Sheffield Wednesday. A game that should have felt like a testimonial suddenly had an unexpected significance after West Brom and Bee’s respective balls-ups. The match itself had just about everything: flair, goals and one or two minutes of squeaky-bum time.
Sammy, George and Dom pick out their stand-out performances and debate how we’d like to see Scott line up for Wednesday’s clash at Wigan that could potentially result in Fulham earning “auto-promotion", in the words of Tony Khan. We also answer your listener questions and discuss who we’d prefer to face in the play-offs.

Fulham and West Brom played out a goalless draw at The Hawthorns, which put the nails in the coffin of any automatic hopes that might have been lingering around - now 5 points off the top two with two to play, it's the Play-Offs for Scott Parker's men. Not that you'd know this was the last chance saloon, as our depleted squad failed to muster any real chances or dynamism - a feat matched only by the home team, who knew a point kept their fate in their own hands.
We break it down, talk about the Play-Off road, the scarily growing injury list, our rock-solid defence (there was some positives we promise) and how we'd go about playing out the next two games with all of that in mind.
Hold tight, we're going through it again. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
On Friday, Fulham made it four wins in a row, shaking off a ropey start against Cardiff to claim an ultimately comfortable 2-0 victory. In this podcast we look at all that went well and not so well against our South Welsh opponents, before taking a look at the promotion race, which is looking ominously positive for our West London neighbours.
In part two we preview Tuesday's game up at West Brom, and get the opposition lowdown from Wayne Gordon of All Things Albion. Finally, we answer your all your questions. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Three wins. Two clean sheets. Two unlikely heroes. One howitzer. None with Mitro. Harry Arter was at it again as Fulham secured an important away win against play off rivals Nottingham Forest. An excellent professional performance from Fulham saw them contain Forest and slowly transform in to a play-off style outfit. We analyse Parker's team selection and assess the balance of the midfield without Tom Cairney. We also answer your questions on Aleksandar Mitrovic, Play-Offs hopes and loads more. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
It may have been one of the most boring Fulham games of all time, but little did it matter when Josh Onomah stepped up in the 95th minute to secure FFC a big 3 points at the Cottage.
We look back at the talking points from the game including why Fulham are so ponderous, what has happened to Michael Hector and whether Josh Onomah should replace Harry Arter in the starting XI.

Well, a win is a win; and a derby win's even better. Fulham finally got off the mark in the post-lockdown season with a hard-fought victory down the road at QPR, thanks to a scorcher from the Irish Cafu, Cyrus Christie; who scored his first league goal for the Whites right when we really needed it most.
We picked apart the game, the ups and downs, as well as talking about Anthony Knockaert's permanent deal, looking forward to the Birmingham game at the weekend and answering a stack full of your questions See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
The dream is over. On Saturday, Fulham capitulated against Leeds United leaving us with an unenviable record of two defeats from two following the restart. In this episode we look back at everything that went wrong at Elland Road.
The main thing on the agenda is how Scott's reactive tactics were schooled by Bielsa. We also discussed Harry Arter, why our left-hand side is so weak and what's happened to Bobby Decordova-Reid.

The return of football was supposedly meant to "lift the spirits", but it did precisely the opposite on Saturday when Brentford struck late with two goals to win the West London Derby. In this episode we discuss everything that went wrong at an empty Craven Cottage.
Included in the debate is Harrison Reed's impressive performance, whether Joe Bryan's attacking impetus negates his clear defensive frailties and whether there has been a bit of an over-reaction to Saturday's defeat. As always we finish with a stack of your questions, which featured a lively debate on FFC academy prospects, and why they seem to repeatedly be leaving Craven Cottage before realising their full potential.

The latest in our unforgettable series as we look back at Fulham's iconic 2-1 victory over SV Hamburg in the semi-finals of the Europa League in 2010. It sealed Fulham a place in our first and only ever European final and garnered the attention of the world.
In this podcast we look back in detail at that incredible night, as Fulham once again turned things around to secure victory. We look at how this night changed the course of FFC for eternity and just how incredible Roy Hodgson was for Fulham during his time in SW6.

"Football is the most important of the least important things in life" said Arrigo Sacchi. It's only natural then, that despite everything going on around us, we're desperate to watch our beloved ballgame again, and especially those in the famous black-and-white of Fulham FC.

Sammy, Farrell and Tom Greatrex also take your questions, including the controversial one of whether the stand should be named after anyone in particular once it is constructed. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
In this special episode, we take a deep dive into Fulham's finances. The club accounts were released last week for FFC's stint in the Premier League, so we thought we would get behind the numbers.

It was one of the greatest nights ever at Craven Cottage. Back in 2010, Fulham did the impossible, coming back from 4-1 down on aggregate against Juventus, to record a famous win against the Old Lady and a place in the Europa League quarter-finals.
This is the first episode in our new 'unforgettable' series, where we reminisce over that special evening in SW6 and recount the tale of the match from start to end. We ask if this the greatest performance ever by FFC, and we also debate whether a night like this could ever happen again.

We look back at an entertaining, but ultimately frustrating game at Ashton Gate, as Tom Cairney's equaliser means Fulham are one point further adrift of the top two.
On the agenda was TC's incredible performance, Decordova-Reid's missed chances and another impressive display from Kamara. We then analyse what this result means for the promotion race. Are West Brom now the team to catch?

David Nugent's header into his own net sent Fulham on their way to an important victory over potential Playoff rivals Preston at the Cottage on Saturday, meaning that it's back-to-back wins against top half teams at the Cottage, which has assuaged some of the fears plaguing fans after the Barnsley loss.
We take apart another good win by the river, talking about Cyrus' man of the match performance from the bench, the balance in midfield, scoring from a corner (!!!), and Kamara's impact from the bench; amongst a full breakdown!

MASSIVE! On today's podcast we celebrate Fulham's vital win over Swansea City, as Aleksandar Mitrovic rises highest in the 94th minute to secure the Whites the three points, less than 10 minutes after missing a penalty at the Hammersmith End.
We discuss a positive overall performance from the Whites, a poor refereeing display which left the visitors reeling, whether the win means we are still in the automatic promotion race and what we can expect from a difficult Preston test on Saturday.

It's a frustrating time to be a Fulham fan, caught in an existential crisis of watching mind-numbingly boring football, but we're third, so can we really complain?

Also on the agenda is a preview of Swansea City, who are remarkably inconsistent in recent times and a stack of your questions, which included many hypotheses of what would happen should we fail to get promotion this season. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We pick over the bones of Saturday’s defeat, ask who’s to blame, and what’s next, with fewer than 15 games left in the promotion race.
We also ponder your questions, including is Cairney the best option for FFC captain and has the Hammersmith End got quieter? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
So near, but yet so far. Fulham missed the opportunity to move into the top two of the Championship after failing to beat a determined Millwall side at The Den. In this episode, Sammy and Jack discuss why Fulham just didn't really tick, and of course, the controversial moment that brought the Lions level.
We briefly look forward to Saturday's match against Barnsley, which is undoubtedly an essential three points for Scott's team as well as looking at the crazy top 7 as a whole. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
A 20th Championship goal this season for Mitro, another clean sheet for Michael Hector, level with Leeds, three points in the bag and five unbeaten for Scotty Parker’s boys in the league. Not bad for a trip to Lancashire which had ‘danger’ written all over it.
Blackburn were unbeaten since September at Ewood Park, and in a game of few chances, the Whites were perhaps more than a little fortunate to come away with three points - but as Sammy puts it, “the battlegrounds of Ewood Park and The Den are where promotion is won and lost.”
We take a look back at the game on Saturday as well as throwing forward to our clash with Millwall under the lights this week, and answer a stack of questions on everything from Parker’s style to our promotion ambitions to Javi Pereira’s reintroduction.

Manchester City away was always going to be difficult, but losing a man and conceding a goal to the double Premier League champions after ten minutes is pretty much the definition of impossible. We look back at a exhausting afternoon for the Whites, in which our short FA Cup run came crashing down.
We discussed Tim Ream's moment of craziness and the impressive performances by Hector and Kongolo. Also we touched upon Bobby Decordova-Reid's permanent move to FFC, who our next loanee might be and we asked you to send in your dog pictures.

Back-to-back league wins, back-to-back clean sheets, and so naturally we're looking to the big man at the back. He is Michael, and on this rock, Fulham will build their promotion challenge. Maybe that's a bit strong, but we're sure Big Hec has improved things at the back, and that's got to be a good thing. We talk Boro and a good win against a combative, physical outfit under the lights, before getting into the big debate that engulfed Fulham Twitter over the weekend - did the lack of Mitrovic work in our favour?

Sometimes football is all about the glory, at other times it's about gritty 1-0 wins up north in January. Today's podcast looks back at exactly that, as the Whites came back from Humberside with three points in a low-quality match at the KCOM.

Two wonder strikes from Anthony Knockaert and Harry Arter meant that Fulham won an FA Cup game for the first time in nearly three years, beating our old Playoff final friends Aston Villa in the 'Doing A Fulham' Derby.

Watching a thrilling 3-3 draw on Boxing Day sounds like a fun day out for most, but for the Fulham faithful it was a disappointing outcome against a weak Luton Town side, and if it wasn't for a last minute equaliser, it could have been much worse. In this episode we look back at the trip to Kenilworth Road, as defensive howlers cost us the opportunity to make up ground on the Championship's top two.
We then look ahead to Sunday's match against struggling Stoke, a team that Fulham faltered against back in October. We look at their danger-men, and discuss what changes we'd make (if any). After that, we answer a load of your questions, with many centring around the future of Scott Parker, and the recruitment of Tony Khan. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Fulham returned home after an unsuccessful quest to make West London their own, and took down Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds United. A swift act of retribution is analysed by Guy, Jack, Ben and Sammy this week as Mitrovic and Onomah marched the Whites to victory.
Parker said that Leeds were scripted and in truth Fulham looked very well prepared to take on the promotion chasers. We look at how a revitalised Fulham held steady against Leeds and bought home a much needed three points after three games without a win.
The panel also previewed Luton Town, discussed incoming and outgoing transfers, who we would re-sign from the promotion season and a handful of other questions. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Two defeats from two, and things are looking a little bit more gloomy at Craven Cottage than they were a week ago - and with Brentford and Leeds on the horizon, something needs to change quickly if we’re to reassert any sort of challenge on the automatic spots.
Sammy James and Jack Collins break down our visit to Deepdale and the chaos of our 2-1 defeat in which the second half was played 10 v 10, before taking a deeper look into Scott Parker’s tactics, Fulham’s lack of cohesiveness and just why we can’t seem to get going early in games.

The four-game winning streak came crashing to a halt on Saturday as Fulham's bogey team came to town and Lee Johnson put his family club to the sword once again.
Truth be told, the Robins probably deserved all three points, but a late Fulham resurgence was halted in its tracks by a refereeing decision which managed to unite the entire fanbase in anger, a rare sight. Jeremy Simpson's decision not to give a late penalty for an O'Dowda lunge on a returning Neeskens Kebano was quite the miss. We break down that, the resurgence of the Congolese wingman, Scott's selection and more.

On today’s Fulhamish we look back at Friday’s win at Swansea City, as the Whites made it four from four - keeping up the pressure on the top two in the Championship.
We ask whether Mitro can realistically break Glen Murray’s league scoring record, take a deep dive in to Scott’s defensive switches and if Marek Rodak is the answer to all our prayers between the sticks.
We then take a little look at the league in general, before tackling some of your questions which included a debate over which signings that promised the most, but delivered the least and whether Denis Odoi is the Belgian Cafu. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
We've got plenty to chew over in this midweek podcast. It's three wins from three, as the Whites comfortably dispatched the Rams, and things are looking oh so positive in West London. Plenty of discussion points for the lads, from Bobby Reid breaking his duck to the resergence of a certain Aboubakar Kamara being cruelly cut short by injury.

It certainly wasn't one for the mutuals, but it was a fantastic 0-1 away win for the boys in white. The difference in Birmingham came down to a solitary 52 min goal from our boy Mitrovic, after the Blues keeper failed to latch on to a Cyrus Christie cross.
In today’s pod we discuss the result, St. Andrews, Dom’s upcoming trip abroad and what Parker needs to do ahead of our match against QPR. We also take a look at your questions and reminisce about our favourite encounters with the Rangers over the years.

Fulham had an afternoon to forget on Saturday as they were dispatched by a Hull City side who quite frankly, had Fulham's number from the first minute until the last. We break it down.
There's the customary three word reviews, and then a full dissection of all the things that were wrong about Fulham on Saturday—from defensive mishaps to a lack of identity, creativity and penetration from the gang further forward—it was a performance to forget on all fronts.

If you'd offered us a point before we set off for Middlesbrough, we would have probably told you to stuff it, but when Marek Rodak got himself sent off less than 20 minutes into only his second league start for the Cottagers, it looked a long way off; and the final whistle at 0-0 was a welcome one.
Whether Fulham's win was down to good defensive awareness or Boro being completely toothless is up for debate, so we took up that mantle and discussed the ups and downs of our trip to the Riverside.

A win's a win as they say, and Fulham limped over the line against a Luton Town side who had threatened to spoil the party late on.
In this episode, Sammy and Jack analyse Wednesday's win, as Mitrovic scored his first club career hat-trick in a scintillating display. We discuss whether it was the right call from Scott to change the GK position and the qualities that Harrison Reed brings to the side.
Finally, we preview Saturday's long trip to an out-of-form Middlesbrough and have a broader look at the table, which is ludicrously tight at the moment with one point separating 10th and 3rd. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Fulham’s Championship victory bus received 2 flat tires from a couple of Potter’s potholes on Saturday, as The Whites succumbed to an abysmal 2-0 defeat to Stoke at the Bet365 Stadium.
It was The Potters’ first win at home since early March. Fulham adorned a balls-out 3-2-3-2 formation which arguably cost us the match, after we were undone by two vintage route-1 goals from our opposition: the first smartly finished by Tyrese Campbell in the first half, the second a penalty from Lee Gregory on 80 minutes.
The result which saw Fulham continue the great tradition of being the team to end opposition’s terrible runs of form.

Fulham went to the Madejski Stadium last night with high expectations and equally high fears, given our track record, but smashed the Reading hoodoo in fine style with a comprehensive victory over a poor home side, our first win in Berkshire since 2008.
Sammy and Jack look back at the game, how we played and what it means to the club, the players (especially Tom Cairney, who looked a man possessed) and our league position in general, before turning our attention to this Saturday's London derby against Charlton, who are themselves in good form at this stage of the season.

It might not have been the prettiest of games at Craven Cottage on Friday night but Fulham got the job done against Wigan Athletic courtesy of a strike from everyone's favourite left-back and another absolute worldie from skipper Tom Cairney to seal the deal late on.
It leaves Fulham just four points off the top of the table and three points off the automatic spots with nine games played. The Fulhamish gang take a look back at the Wigan game and address the good, the bad and the ugly from what was a hard-fought win.
It doesn't stop though, not in the Championship. The Whites travel to a battleground of past ghosts as they take on Reading on Tuesday night at the Madejski. We take a dive into Reading's players, their recent form, and what we can expect from our visit to Berkshire. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
A busy Fulhamish Xtra today, as we firstly preview Friday night’s game against Wigan at Craven Cottage as Fulham look to return to winning ways after three consecutive 1-1 draws. We speak to Chris from the Pie At Night podcast to get a view from the opposition.
Later on in the podcast we speak to Louie Waldock about the Fulham U23’s after their impressive 5-4 win over Reading in the PL2 at the Cottage last Friday. He gives his thoughts on some players he thinks we should be keeping an eye on this season.
Then, George Cooper catches up with Iain from the newly formed Fulham Disabled Supporters Association. If you would like to get in contact with them you can contact them on Twitter @FulhamDSA and on email FulhamDSA@gmail.com. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Another day, another draw. HMS Piss the League seemed to throw down a big hairy anchor on Saturday in the shape of Sheffield Wednesday's lumbering striker Atdhe Nuhiu, who neutralised Captain Carney's smart finish on the stroke of half time to leave proceedings at Hillsborough 1-1. It was another frustrating draw for Scott Parker's boys: 71% possession, 600 odd passes, but with only 2 shots on target, our engine room seems to be firing on half a cylinder.
Is top 2 still on the horizon? Do we need to shake up our attack? Has this ship metaphor been drawn-out too long? Our thoughts on all of these topics and more inside this week's podcast.
We look back at Saturday's action (or lack thereof) with Scotty's tactics (or lack thereof) once again coming into question. We also discuss the importance of Friday's game against Wigan and take a look at your questions.

Fulham look to get back to winning ways at Hillsborough on Saturday against a rejuvenated Sheffield Wednesday, now under the stewardship of Garry Monk. We speak to Wednesday writer Dom Howson, who gives us the lowdown on everything happening at the South Yorkshire side.
Then, we have an interview with former Fulham goalkeeper Mark Crossley. We speak about his memories in SW6 and also get his thoughts on the form of Marcus Bettinelli. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
HMS Piss The League once again failed to set sail on Saturday, as Fulham were held to a 1-1 draw by a West Brom game after Fulham failed to take their chances and a late Bettinelli error gifted WBA an equaliser.
We look back at the game discussing Scott Parker's tactics, Betts v Rodak, unease in the stands and whether we should be concerned about the amount of dropped points.
Then in part two, we discuss the new FFC ticket exchange scheme and handle a load of your questions, many of which revolved around our front three, and whether changes need to be made to see a better return in front of goal. We also ask whether Michael Hector gets into our starting XI at present.
Also, we have a big Fulhamish announcement - as we are doing our first ever live podcast recording. Listen to hear all the details. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
The international break is over and Fulham are back on Saturday facing fellow promotion contenders West Brom in the lunchtime kick-off at Craven Cottage. We preview the weekend's match with Baggies fan and journalist Andy Jones.
We then have a brief look back at the international break before George spoke to Junior, the Riverside's new flag waving hero who has captured the hearts of many in the Hammersmith End this season. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
A trip to Cardiff City under the lights brought to an end the first chunk of Fulham's season and whilst a draw from what is always a tough trip to the Bluebirds is absolutely nothing to be sniffed at, it was marked by a somewhat comical red card for pantomime villain Harry Arter, returning to the club with which he spent last season on loan. We break down everything from Fulham's slow starts to some ridiculous refereeing.
With the first element wrapped up, it was time to take a look at the season as a whole so far. 10 points, 6th in the table, 5 goals for Mitro, three wins, two losses and a draw - we crunched the numbers and took a whirl through the Barnsley, Blackburn Rovers, Huddersfield Town, Millwall, Nottingham Forest and Cardiff - before answering a stack of your questions. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
One cup, over and out. Fulham's reserves put up a decent fight against Southampton, with one or two standout performances, but ultimately a drab game was settled and our Carabao adventures are over for another year. Dom Betts, George Cooper and Dara Curran were on our Love Sport Radio fan show and reviewed a game and performance that (bar Rodak and O'Riley), will not live long in the memory.
We looked ahead to Friday's game against Cardiff City. We spoke to Scott Salter from the View From The Ninian Podcast to get his thoughts on our game against the Bluebirds, under the lights in the Welsh capital. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
It was a heavily frustrating afternoon for Fulham on Saturday, as Nottingham Forest came to Craven Cottage and battled (by any means necessary) to three points in SW6. We dissect the game looking at Fulham’s suspect defending, Betts’ positioning, a meek refereeing display and bizarre subs from Scott Parker (that did kind of work).
We then look at Tuesday’s slightly meaningless Carabao Cup game against Southampton before taking on some of your questions, and putting some new player chants on the table. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
What a night at the Cottage, as Fulham broke all records during their 4-0 win over Millwall. 85% possession and nearly 1000 passes in a dizzying display from Scott Parkers men. We look at all the key talking points including Cavaleiro's exceptional finishing, Steven Sess impressing again and Knockaert getting off the mark.
Later in the episode we discuss Rui Fonte's departure back to Braga and look ahead briefly to this weekend's Nottingham Forest game. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Back-to-back wins for the boys in black and white and the Fulham bus is back rolling in the Championship, with Scotty at the wheel, The Terriers were tossed aside by a bread-and-butter Mitrovic header and an absolute peach from Ivan Cavaleiro, his first in a Fulham shirt. Added to Tom Cairney's thunderbolt against Blackburn, we can only say 'more of the same please boys!'
The boys take a look back at the Huddersfield game and everything that went down at the John Smiths' Stadium on Friday night, before taking some time to discuss our first game under the lights this season - Wednesday night's London derby against an in-form Millwall, spearheaded by an old friend of FFC in Matt Smith.
And, as ever, there's a host of your questions to finish the show - ranging from debutant Steven Sessegnon, to where Bobby Reid fits into the XI, to our favourite Fulham celebrations ever. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
We look ahead to Friday night's Huddersfield match with Terriers fan Neil Waide from the 'And He Takes That Chance' podcast. George then speaks to Chris Miller from The Extra Inch, a Tottenham Hotspur podcast about what Fulham fans can expect from new boy Josh Onomah this season. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Fulham are up and running, ladies and gentlemen! A screamer from the skipper, a tap in from the big man, and a hell of a performance from everyone's favourite brother-in-law Harry Arter in the middle; now we're three points up, a clean sheet up, there's plus one on the goal difference and everything seems a little bit rosier.
We break down the game against Blackburn at the Cottage, with a full analysis of the performance and a breakdown of the debuts for three of our new signings. There's a quick look at the interview that Tony Khan gave for FFCTV and what it means, before we finish with a sackful of your questions, See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
The transfer window is over. Whilst Fulham have made plenty of signings on deadline day, the notable absence of a defender is a sore one. We discuss the new signings of Reed, Reid and Onomah, the departure of Ryan Sessegnon and the non-arrival of Michael Hector.
Finally, we looked ahead to Saturday's match against Blackburn Rovers. Dom Betts, George Cooper and Jack Kelly were on our Love Sport Radio fan show and spoke to Ryan Hildred from Rovers Chat. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
We're back underway on a new adventure, and Fulham were welcomed back to the Championship in true Championship style—being beaten by a newly promoted side who were huge underdogs, with a timely reminder that anyone can beat anyone else in this truly remarkable division. What wasn't truly remarkable was Fulham's performance at Oakwell, which lacked any sort of cohesion, spark, flair or tactical nous whatsoever, and the Whites are going to need to find all of the above very quickly if this season is to go to plan.
On the bright side, the transfer window is not yet closed, and reinforcements, we imagine, are on their way to the Cottage. We discuss the potential additions of Harry Arter, Josh Onomah, Cameron Carter-Vickers and Mo Besic, with plenty more to chew on as well, before answering a whole host of questions about the weekend and beyond. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
The final countdown to the start of the championship season is on. With less than a week to go until Barnsley, we discuss all the latest pre-season happenings at Craven Cottage.
We start off with our thoughts on the West Ham game, including a mixed performance from Bettinelli, the surreal 3-sided atmosphere and how big a blow the Mawson injury could be. After that we look at the outgoing transfer of Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa to Villareal, which provoked differing reactions from the panel.
Outside of that we discussed Harvey Elliot and the rumoured Sessegnon for Onomah plus cash deal. As always, we finished with your questions. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
After a big week for Fulham off the pitch, the cast of Fulhamish got together to discuss the goings on. The Whites signalled their intent for an immediate return by signing Anthony Knockaert from Brighton.
This week also saw the departure of Jean-Michael Seri to Galatasaray and the defeat over Knockaert's previous employers. We also had time for a number of your questions, tackling issues such as the Sessegnon transfer saga and who could climb Mount Everest. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
As the season draws ever near, Fulhamish reconvene to discuss the latest FFC events. We start off with the news of Ivan Cavaleiro's loan signing, which as you'd expect was very well received by all in the studio. We then moved onto Martell Taylor-Crossdale - and whilst not so much is known, there was certainly cautious optimism there too.
Further on we looked at the latest transfer rumours, discussed pre-season as much as we could and also debated the new Fulham ticket prices and whether we're happy with the new advertised prices for the season. We ended with some of your question, including a cracking debate of whether this season's team would beat last season's. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
It's back! Fulhamish returns for the season in a blaze of glory in Caffe Nero as Sammy and Jack take to the microphones again to discuss everything black and white. With the season hastily approaching, there's been good news in the form of a new contract for Aleksandar Mitrovic, and we take a deep dive into how that's happened and why it's such good news for Fulham fans.
There's some pre-season chat, discussions on our potential new signings, who all seem to be centre-backs, and of course, a welcome return to the question bag to talk the academy and the future of Ryan Sessegnon. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
This one needs little introduction. Earlier this week Fulhamish sat down with Fulham's Vice Chairman and Director of Football Operations Tony Khan to get an exclusive interview about his life at Fulham Football Club. We talked about lessons learned, what his job entails, the recruitment system used at the club, which players he's hoping to be part of the squad next season, how he manages his various roles, the youth pipeline to the first team and the Riverside expansion in an interview which covers all the bases of what Tony's role at Fulham includes and doesn't, as well as a unique insight into the season to come.

No matches to discuss, but still plenty going on in the world of Fulham FC. Jack and Sammy reconvened today to discuss the confirmation of the Riverside stand construction. What does it mean for the future of FFC at Craven Cottage?
The move means there’s lots of ramifications, including the displacement of many fans into the neighbouring Putney and Hammersmith Ends. Also, we discuss the corporate motivations behind the stand, and ask if that’s necessarily a bad thing?
Finally, we delve slightly into the early summer transfer rumours, including the pro’s and con’s of a potential Britt Assombalonga signing. We also look at Ryan Sessegnon’s potential destination, and look at the pre-season announcement. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Well, it's done. Fulham's Premier League campaign is over and out, and it's a return to the Championship. Think of all the fun we're going to have! Trips to Luton, back to Oakwell, winning a few games, Scotty Parker playing a classic 4-3-3. Before that though, there was one more game to have a look at - Fulham going out in Fulham style by losing a game 4-0 which we should probably have got a point from. Fulham.
There's plenty of talk about Scotty's new role, some questions about Sess, next season, signings, and shudder Loftus Road. It's all the gossip. Get involved, as we say goodbye to the Premier League and a loud welcome back to the Championship - the finest league in the land. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
The penultimate game of Fulham's season was a pretty tame one, as Scotty Parker's men went down 1-0 to European chasing Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday.
On today's podcast, all the talking points from that defeat, including Mitro's wayward finishing and our stubbornness in defence. Then we discussed Tom Cairney's new five-year contract, before looking at Harvey Elliot's history-making debut at the end of the match.
Finally, we answer your questions. We discussed everything from which team we want to win the Championship play-offs, season ticket renewals, Marek Rodak and whether Tony Khan deserves praise for his contract dealings. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
In this week's episode of Fulhamish, we took a look back at the game against Cardiff City, as Scotty Parker's Whites won for a third (!) time in a row, whilst keeping a third consecutive clean sheet (!!). We know, we can't quite believe it either.
Aside from helping the Bluebirds towards the trap door which we've already fallen through, there was a Ryan Babel wondergoal to discuss, and also a fair discussion on whether Scotty P has earned the top job with these three performances.
There's plenty of transfer talk too, as we took the opportunity to open a mailbag full of questions about next season, the summer, the squad and where we need to strengthen, before finishing off with a quick discussion about our impending trip to Molineux and the weirdest reasons you've heard as to why someone doesn't like Fulham. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Too little too late? Or better late than never? It’s two wins from two for Fulham since relegation was confirmed after an impressive 1-0 victory at the Vitality Stadium over Bournemouth on Saturday, exactly 365 days after our last away league victory.
In today’s podcast, Sammy and Dom look back at the weekend’s game, where Scotty’s men were roared to victory by a fine away support that boasted many an inflatable and Hawaiian shirt. We discuss why Fulham are suddenly looking so much more solid defensively, and whether this means Scott should get the job permanently. Opinions certainly differed in the studio on this aspect.
Then we round off the podcast with a flurry of your questions. We debate who is the most important to keep this summer out of Mitro, Cairney and Sess; and we discuss which two teams we’d like to see get promoted alongside Luton from League One. Most importantly, we hear how Dom’s infamous trip to Hong Kong went down.
No Xtra podcasts between now and the end of the season, so your next Fulhamish fix will be after the Cardiff game. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
After a run of nine consecutive defeats, Fulham finally recorded a victory on Saturday against Everton. Yes, it doesn't mean that much, but it was sure nice to see a winning performance again.
In this episode we discuss what these three points could mean for the confidence of the team, and maybe even for Scotty's chances of getting the full-time gig.
Later in the podcast we talk about the contracts situation now relegation is confirmed, and discuss which players we expect to stay at Fulham next season. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
The nails are in the Premier League coffin for Fulham, but it’s allowed us to take a step back, accept our fate and start to plan for life in the Championship next year. Jack Collins and Ben Jarman met up over the microphones to record a midweek Fulhamish special, talking about that plan to take the Whites back up to the elite tier of English football within the next few years. The plan revolves heavily around one things - who will be in charge of the squad next season, and there are plenty of prime candidates in Europe currently out of a job.
With Scott Parker yet to show any sort of reasoning as to why the job should be his own next season, we take a scour through the managerial vacancies list - not through the usual suspects on the English merry-go-round, but a deep dive into Spain, Portugal, Italy and Germany, as well as a few candidates closer to home - to try to sound out the next man who could fill the Fulham hot seat, taking on a rather wide berth of Continental football as we go.
There’s a few mooted signings, some questions about where the side needs most strengthening and a bit of an audit on the academy, a few bits and bobs on contracts, a little bit of grieving and some well-deserved defending of our ownership given the recent press - but mostly, it’s a chat that cheered us both up and we hope it will cheer you up too. It will get better. You Whites. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
In an episode named after the thing which probably gave Fulham fans the most to cheer about on Saturday, we look back at a chastening loss to Champions Manchester City, who comfortably beat the Whites as they chase back-to-back titles. We take a walk through Scott Parker's selections, City's superiority, and a few bright spots from certain Fulham players.
With Watford looming on the horizon, we take a good look at the game which could spell the end of our top-flight status, and choose what we'd like to see as the Whites team at Vicarage Road.
Before things got too desolate, we switched to the mailbag to answer some of the more fun questions surrounding Fulham - including a run down of other terrible strikes at the Cottage, players we'd like to see get more game time and whether we'd rather fight 100 mouse-sized Mitrovics or one Polar Bear sized Joe Bryan - as well as a look back at the #StopTheGreed protest which so many fans were a part of on Saturday.
Thanks as ever, for listening. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
In this week's Fulhamish Xtra, Farrell and Sammy talk about all things #StopTheGreed, ahead of our day of action on Saturday. We discuss why we believe this ticket price action is important, and how you can help get involved.
Later in the podcast we look ahead to the challenge Fulham will face against the champions Manchester City. We then get the opposition lowdown from David Mooney of the Blue Moon Podcast. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
We are so very sorry. After 168 successful episodes of Fulhamish, we messed up and the recording of Monday's podcast was lost forever.
As a result we decided to bring you some of the best bits from our love sport radio fan show, which takes place every Wednesday night. Guy, George and Dom discussed the Liverpool defeat, and the ticketing issues which lead to many Scousers residing in the home ends at Craven Cottage.
We will be back next week, hopefully we'll remember to hit record this time. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
It doesn’t get any easier for Fulham, as on Sunday Fulham welcome Liverpool to Craven Cottage, who are in the midst of chasing an historic Premier League title. After an impressive 3-1 win in the Champions League on Wednesday, it looks extremely difficult for us to get anything out the match.
Regardless, we look ahead to the challenge, and ask if Scott should make any changes to his line-up. Then we speak to Neil Atkinson from The Anfield Wrap who gives us an insight into what it’s been like following the title-chasers this season.
Finally, we play you what happened when Dom, Guy and Jonny caught up with former Fulham striker Erik Nevland. They spoke about Fulham’s dismal season, and reminisce over some of the great memories he had playing in our beloved white shirt. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
It’s all quite depressing. Fulham lost their sixth consecutive match on Saturday against Leicester City, as once again individual defensive mistakes cost Fulham dear.
In this episode we look back at the game, as Scott Parker’s unchanged line-up conjured up a tame first half effort. We analyse Floyd Ayité’s positive impact, and ponder over whether Ryan Sessegnon might just need to take a limited role while his confidence builds back up.
In part two, we discuss the Fulham Supporters Trust’s with our guest Tom Greatrex upcoming ticket price survey and the importance of the current ongoing pricing debate. Then, to end the podcast we asked you for questions not related to this season, there were some great ones in there - covering everything from teams we want to get promoted from League One, to our favourite FFC moments that many people won’t remember. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
An interesting game on Saturday, as both Brendan Rodgers and Scott Parker face their second respective games in charge of Leicester City and Fulham against each other. Both teams have had difficult seasons for a multitude of reasons, and will be looking for three points on Saturday to make things a bit more bearable.
In this episode we look at the challenge Fulham will face at the King Power Stadium, our first league trip to Leicester since 2004 when a certain Collins John bagged a brace. We also predict what line-up we think Scott will select.
In the second part of the episode, we speak to the very insightful Pete Selby of the For Fox Sake podcast. It's an interesting discussion which includes plenty of analysis of Claudio Ranieri, who of course is still a god around Leicestershire for his heroics of 2016. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
It wasn't the fairytale start that Scott Parker might have dreamt of, but his first foray into management was certainly a positive one as Fulham showed plenty of heart in Sunday's SW6 derby. In today's episode, we look back at the key events.
They include two well-worked Chelsea goals, a Calum Chambers strike that gave us hope, a second-half virtuoso display from Tom Cairney and a last minute offside heartbreaker that nearly sent Craven Cottage into raptures. Scott played the hits, but will he get an encore next season?
In part two we discuss the return of Stuart Gray, the players we'll be most devastated to see leave in the summer and whether mentality outweighs ability in this final few matches of the season. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
It may not be mathematical, but Wednesday's 2-0 defeat at Southampton has all-but consigned Fulham to the Championship for next season. In today's episode, we look back at the game, and discuss the precarious future of Claudio Ranieri.
Recorded on the train back from the South Coast, we ask what on earth Claudio was trying to achieve with his ridiculous line-up, why corners are suddenly such a problem and discuss Joe Bryan's repeated defensive mistakes, Then we move on to looking at who should replace Claudio until the end of the season. Is Scott Parker definitely the right move? We think so, but we discuss the potential pitfalls of that decision, should it be taken as expected.
In the second part of the podcast, we discuss the upcoming SW6 derby against Chelsea, the latest on our #StopTheGreed campaign, and give Jack's new Scott Parker chant some airtime. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Another week, another loss, and Fulham's perilous position in the bottom three of the Premier League table looks ever more permanent after a soulless loss to West Ham United at a soulless stadium. We break it down:
- More strange tactics
- Glimmers of hope quickly snuffed out
- When your luck is out - the handball
- What's happened to Sess?
- Mitrovic's brave battle
Then we take a deeper dive into some of the other topics surrounding the club, including long-term strategy, ticket prices (#StopTheGreed), and a Southampton preview - before answering an absolute stack full of your questions. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Fulham are back in action on Friday night as we head to the London Stadium for the first time to face West Ham United. Fulham are looking doomed to Championship life next season, but could a win in the East end give us a glimmer of hope?
In this episode we preview the game, getting an opposition view from Dan Lawless of West Ham Fan TV. Afterwards we bring you a couple of the best bits from our recent Love Sport Radio fan show, where we spoke to former Fulham goalkeeper Kasey Keller, as well as getting an FST update from Tom Greatrex. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
As Fulham's season ground to another staggering halt against a rejuvenated Manchester United on Saturday, the faith in youth and talent that summed up Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in one dugout contrasted starkly with Claudio Ranieri's inability to provide any sort of spark to our own players.
In the latest episode, we look back at the long, hard slog against the Red Devils and how one substitution managed to turn 80% of the entire ground against Ranieri - compounded only further when he stated that after the game that he felt the boos were because he withdrew Andre Schurrle from the fray. There's plenty of debate around systems, formations and if the gaffer has totally lost the plot.
Later on in the episode we discuss who might be in the frame should Shahid Khan pull the trigger, and discuss the cases for people in the frame, not in the frame and who aren't even in the same building as the frame! There's a stack of questions from our new Whatsapp Group (which you can join by hitting this link from your phone: bit.ly/FulhamishWA) which we take some time out to look at. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
It's looking pretty bleak for Fulham, and the last thing we need right now is a red-hot Manchester United arriving into town. However, that's what we've got, so as always we look ahead to the test that we'll face against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's rejuvenated side.
Later in the episode we speak to radio host and Red Devils fan Aaron Paul on what kind of match he expects on Saturday. Finally, Sammy caught up with former Maccabees guitarist Felix White to chat about his Fulham memories, post-band life, his love for cricket and the time he gate-crashed an important meeting between Shahid and Tony Khan.

From the massive highs of that Brighton game, Fulham hit perhaps another earth-shattering low on Saturday as a complete lack of tactical nous, drive or awareness saw the Whites fall to a lacklustre defeat down in South London.
In this episode we look back at the match, including Fulham's one opportunity in the first half, Ranieri's inability to capitalise on switching to a back four on Tuesday night, and how the system is choking both any hopes of survival, and our relationship with our young players.
Later in the episode we take a long, hard look at the Liverpool tickets debacle, whether the powers that be at the club are in this for the right reasons at all, before answering a stack of your questions about managerial appointments, Championship squad depth and our academy.

Two contrasting halves, one massive result. In this podcast we look back at Tuesday's incredible comeback against Brighton, as Fulham breathed a lease of life into their survival prospects.
Our analysis of the game includes Claudio's awful starting tactics, Seri's imperious contribution, Cairney's impact and Mitro getting back to his best. Then, we hear from Leroy Rosenior, who spoke to Guy, Cam and Dom on the Fulham Fan Show on Love Sport. They discuss the dramatic win over Brighton, and Saturday's game against Palace.

It doesn't get much more heartbreaking than that. On Sunday, Fulham's horrible season was ramped up a notch when Harry Winks scored a 93rd minute winner to steal all three points for Spurs at the death.
In this episode we look back at the match, including Fulham's strong start, defensive mishaps (again) and whether Fulham's lack of game management was creditable ambition or just pure foolishness.
Later in the episode we ask if there is any hope of Fulham staying in the Premier League, we debate whether FFC should just start preparing for Championship life now and then we answer a load of your questions too.

After Saturday's horrible defeat at Burnley, it seems mad that we have any fight left in us to get excited for a difficult home game against Spurs. However, that's just what football fans do. A week passes, and that dreaded hope starts to seep back in.
There's reasons to be optimistic though. Spurs have some key absentees for Sunday's game at Craven Cottage. Is it enough for Fulham to capitalise and get some crucial points in the battle to beat the drop?
Firstly, the Fulhamish lads preview the game, before we speak to Flav Bateman from the esteemed Fighting Cock podcast about this weekend's match up at the Cottage. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
There's nothing quite as Fulhamish as allowing the opposition side zero shots on target, and still managing to concede two goals and lose the game. The Tragedy of Turf Moor, as we're coining it, took place on a bitter afternoon in Lancashire, where despite Andre Schurrle's early beauty, the Whites lost yet more ground in the relegation scrap. We break it down.
- Echoes of Kasami (we went down that year as well)
- How bad was the defending for their goals?
- Ranieri's strange substitutions
- Some respite for Vietto
- Is the fight over?
Then we talk about the Transfer Window and look at some targets linked with a move to Craven Cottage: Ryan Babel, Marko Pjaca, Divock Origi, Andreas Samaris, Youssef Sabaly and Gary Cahill. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
After Saturday's FA Cup bloodbath, where a hapless Fulham were knocked out on their own turf by fourth tier Oldham Athletic, the Whites face a crucial relegation six-pointer against Burnley at Turf Moor, where we haven't won since 1951. If Fulham lose, with a fanbase already supercharged with tensions, there will be blood.
Jack and Ben sat down to talk about the state of play across the board at the current moment:
- What's happened to Luciano Vietto?
- The Claudio Ranieri style of play
- What we need in the transfer window
- Is the online stick for the Khan's justified?
On the road in the North West, Sammy went to have a chat with Nat Bromley of Burnley's No Nay Never Podcast, to get the lowdown on the Clarets' season so far and what we can expect from them on Saturday; and an old friend of the club came to speak to Dom on our LoveSport Fans show - Paul Peschisolido. We spoke to Pesch about the situation at the Cottage, before Jack and Ben round the episode off by picking their lineups for the weekend,

New Year, same old Fulham. The whites were unlucky at Arsenal after missing several golden chances, and ultimately conceding more sloppy goals. In this podcast we look back at all the key talking points from The Emirates.
Later in the show, we briefly look ahead to Sunday's FA Cup match against Oldham at the Cottage, before looking through the early January transfer rumours. Would a move for Gary Cahill be sensible? Finally, we delve into your questions as always. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Fulham beat Huddersfield Town in a crucial relegation six-pointer on Saturday at the Cottage, in a game that will only be remembered for 10 minutes of absolute madness at the end, sparked by the Lord of Chaos himself - Aboubakar Kamara - and ended by the Lord of the Manor - Aleksandar Mitrovic.
Sammy and Jack take up the mantle to discuss the insanity:
- Strange tactics
- A dire first half
- Cairney's influence in the middle
- Penalty-gate and Kamara's future
- The booing of your own players
- Mitrovic's ice-cool finish
- Sessegnon's role
Before we look ahead to the Arsenal game and answer a stack of questions about the topsy-turvy world of supporting Fulham. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Fulham barrelled their way to another point on Boxing Day in a match-up with fellow Premier League new boys Wolverhampton Wanderers. It was a frustrating festive Fulham not being able to see out a much needed win, but a point is a point and the Whites are off the foot of the table with the new bottom boys Huddersfield to visit later this week.
We took it apart, discussing:
- Wasteful first half
- Sluggish start and lucky Denis
- Mitro's profligacy in front of goal
- Sess' impact and Schurrle's struggles
- No back-to-back clean sheets
- Defensive improvements with five
We had a look at where the impending Terriers game could be won or lost and discussed how we'd set up, as well as answering a stack full of your questions from a bulging Christmas postbag! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
After 18 Premier League games, and 42 goals conceded finally we can talk about a clean sheet. On today's podcast we reflect on Saturday's pleasing 0-0 draw up at St James' Park against a toothless Newcastle side.
We discuss Claudio's fairly successful 3-4-2-1 formation, which did well to frustrate Rafa Benitez's side, whether the referees numerous penalty calls were correct, and whether Fulham should have actually won it in the dying minutes.
There's also a good debate about whether AK47's best role is as an impact sub, before we then look at the relegation battle as a whole, and discuss the upcoming Boxing Day game against Wolves at Craven Cottage. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
The Whites travel to the far reaches of the North East on Saturday, to face a Newcastle team who started the season badly, but have found form at just the wrong time from a Fulham perspective. We take a look at our opposition, and how we'd go about trying to beat them; before Sammy got a view from the opposition camp in the form of Pete Donaldson from the Football Ramble. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
As the festive season kicked into full swing, Fulham hosted their East London counterparts in the form of West Ham United, and treated the Hammers to a healthy dose of Christmas kindness - in the shape of two gifted goals. A frustrating evening for the Whites was compounded by missed opportunities, lack of effort and a freezing cold Cottage blitzed by driving rain. All in all, a bad afternoon for FFC.
We discussed:
- Fulham's wastefulness in front of goal.
- How difficult we're making it for ourselves.
- Lacklustre defending all round.
- A dire second half.
Then, we took the discussion to the next level on where we go from here:
- January options
- Lack of leaders on the pitch
- How lucky we are to be still in touch
- Who plays against Newcastle
There's, as ever, time for questions, where we talk outrageous ticket prices in far more detail. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
The time for excuses is over. Fulham start a run of four festive fixtures against bottom half teams that could make or break our season. The first of these is West Ham at Craven Cottage, a game which seems far more difficult now than it might have looked a month ago.
In this episode Jack, Dom and Sammy gave their thoughts on Manuel Pellegrini's in-form side. Then as ever, we heard from the opposition camp. Dan Lawless from West Ham Fan TV gave us the lowdown on the Hammers, and he's predicting a narrow Hammers victory with plenty of goals.
Finally, we spoke to former Whites captain Lee Clark, as featured first on our Love Sport Radio show, which you can listen to every Wednesday between 8.30-10pm. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
It wasn't good, it wasn't pretty, and it certainly wasn't enjoyable; but the Whites made the long trip up to Salford's 'Theatre of Dreams' on Saturday, only for Claudio's dreams to be swiftly extinguished by lackadaisical players, poor defending and a diabolical first half.
We look at United away: - What was with the changes? - Who were the prime culprits? - Does the system need tactical tweaks? - Were there any positives?
Before looking back at Leicester at the Cottage: - Brighter start, brighter game - Still silly mistakes - What's the best back four? - Just how crucial is Calum Chambers?

Another year, another defeat at Stamford Bridge. Fulham may have fallen to a 2-0 defeat in the SW6 Derby, but there was room for optimism in the second half display. We discuss the positives and negatives from the match, and ask whether Ranieri's tactics were effective at nullifying Chelsea's threat.
After the break we then looked ahead to the midweek visit of Leicester City to Craven Cottage. We speak about the threat the Foxes may pose, and whether the sideshow of Ranieri facing another former team will have an effect on the occasion.

Derby Day is here in South West Six, as we make the short journey across Fulham to the Walham Green Dog Track, to take on that mob in blue, who are quite good these days under new manager Maurizio Sarri. We take a look at the first meeting between the sides since 2015, and if there's a way for Claudio's warriors in white to get the better of it on Sunday.
We then get a view from the opposition camp, as Jack speaks to NiiNii FC of Blue Lions TV; and to round things off Dom and the boys interviewed Barry Hayles on our LoveSport radio show, talking about why Fulham were better last weekend and how they can move forward. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Claudio Ranieri's tenure in charge of the Whites got off to the best possible start on Saturday as the Whites picked up three hugely important points against relegation rivals Southampton at the Cottage. We break down our first win in absolutely ages, and look at the positives and negatives from the performance against a lacklustre Saints side.
Finally a win!
- New era, same sluggish start?
- Fulham's new fighting spirit.
- Weighing up Seri and Schurrle.
- Sergio Rico's masterclass.
- A MOTM debate!
Fulham's Style Under Claudio
- Will it be long ball?
- Are we best with the ball on the deck?
- Whose places are safe and whose are under threat?
- Tom Cairney reborn

New manager, new start, and none of us know quite what's going to happen on Saturday, but it's Claudio's time to shine as Fulham face off against Southampton in a relegation six-pointer. A very simple way for Claudio to get the fans on side quickly would be, not only to get a much-needed win, but also to put a nail in the coffin of old enemy Mark Hughes. We take a look what might go down at the Cottage against the Saints, and how Fulham might set up.
We then get a view from the opposition camp, as Sammy speaks to Freddie from The Ugly Inside; and to round things off Dom and the boys interviewed Mark Schwarzer on our LoveSport radio show - we brought it across for your listening pleasure.

It's a return to action for the Fulhamish Stats Show, as Ben Jarman, Nik MacNee and George Singer take a stats-based look at the latest FFC matters. The show includes chat about why we're so easy to play through, the change in Fulham's passing style, and who really is our best defender?

It might not have been the result that Fulham wanted at Anfield, but a vastly improved performance was a welcome relief, and it took a refereeing error to break down Fulham's staunch first half resilience in Liverpool.
We break it down, and extract all of the juiciest talking points from Fulham's visit to Merseyside:
- Calum Chambers: The CDM we never knew we needed
- Sergio Rico's masterclass
- The 13 seconds of madness
- Not a great second half
- Did quality out?
And to finish off, we take a hatful of your questions to mirror what's going on in the Fulham world!

When you're on a run of five consecutive defeats, the last thing a team really needs is a trip to Anfield to face an unbeaten Liverpool. That however, is the prospect that Fulham face on Sunday. In this podcast Dom, Guy and Cam look ahead to the fiendishly difficult test that awaits Slav and the boys in the North-West.
Then we get an opposition lowdown from John Gibbons of The Anfield Wrap. For those unaware, TAW is one of the most famous club podcasts in the world, producing 10 podcasts a week to its army of loyal listeners. It was great to meet John and get an esteemed Liverpool perspective on the game. As you might imagine, he's confident of a routine victory.
Finally, Dom and the boys speak to former Fulham forward Rob Scott, who gives his perspective on the current crisis facing Slavisa Jokanovic. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
This is a brief history of Fulham Football Club and the First World War, 100 years since Armistice Day in 1918.
Sammy James speaks to history expert Morgan Philips and Ian McMullen of 'Football And The First World War' to piece together how Fulham FC changed between the war years of 1914 and 1918, and remember the Fulham footballers who gave their lives during the Great War.
Bob Suart, William Borland, William Maughn, Harry Rowbottom, Pat Flanagan, Fred Wheatcroft, Fred Waterson and Ted Thompson are those former FFC players (that we know of) who lost their lives during the war. We hope that this short episode in some way honours what these men sacrificed a century ago.
We’re indebted to the brilliant help of Morgan and Ian for this project. As a result we’re raising money for Ian's website, footballandthefirstworldwar.org - a valuable resource that’s attempting to plot each link between UK football and the Great War. We’re selling prints from the talented Paine Profitt, in order to raise funds for the website.

As Monday nights go, this has been one of the bleakest ones for a while, as defeat against Huddersfield Town consigned the Whites to the bottom of the Premier League and five losses on the spin.
Sammy and Jack were at the John Smiths to witness the horrorshow unfold, and took to the mics straight afterwards in order to unleash their frustrations on:
- An insipid Fulham start.
- How tactically naive we were.
- Lack of control and desire in the midfield three.
- Fosu Mensah’s first-half disasterclass.
- Andre Schurrle’s attitude.
- Is Slav close to the door?
- Where do we go from here?

Ultimately, it's hard to be positive about a defeat, but there was cause for optimism after Fulham's 2-0 loss at the Etihad on Thursday. On this podcast we reflect on what we learnt at Man City, and then our attentions turned to Monday' night's huge game at Huddersfield Town.
We got an opposition viewpoint from Huddersfield fan Lee Pearson, who expectedly confirmed how big this game is for Terriers fans as well as for FFC. Later in the show we replayed Liam Rosenior's chat with Dom, Guy and George on Love Sport Radio where he talks about Fulham's chances this season in the Premier League, and his own personal times at Craven Cottage.

Fulham were mauled alive by Eddie Howe's Cherries at the Cottage on the weekend, pushing the worry factor up another notch and driving the Fulham Apocalypse rating ever higher. We break down what we can from the defeat, and look forward to visiting Man City in the Cup. On the show we discuss:
The full Bournemouth breakdown. - Kamara's disasterclass. - More defensive misery. - The pivot problem. - What can we take from it?
Man City - Do we play the kids? - The centre-back conundrum - Sessegnon and O'Riley must start.

Saturday was a difficult day, as Fulham conceded four at the Cardiff City Stadium and entered the Premier League relegation zone. Today's episode is a full and frank analysis of what went wrong in South Wales, including:
- Chambers' horror show
- Individual mistakes
- Can Slavisa find a system?
- What changes need to be made? If any..
Then later on in the show we looked at last week's news that Shahid Khan has decided to withdraw his £600m Wembley bid.

With the international break in our rear-view mirror and the small matter of the Premier League back on the horizon, we turned our attentions to all things Black and White again, as Fulham look forward to three games which could very much be considered as season-defining, even at this early stage.
The Whites travel to fellow new boys in this division, and last season’s nemesis in many ways, Cardiff City; as we try to get safely on the survival path in South Wales.
- Who should play?
- How should we set up?
- A clash of styles

After a very good first-half performance, where the Whites went toe-to-toe with a talented Arsenal side and came out very much alive, a second-half collapse condemned Fulham to a drubbing at the hands of their North London counterparts; as Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang put Slavisa's men to the sword with no mercy, after some very strange tactical decisions from Slav. On the show we discuss:
The full Arsenal breakdown. - What's happened to Cyrus? - Three at the back. - Are we nasty enough? - What was Slav doing?! - Where do we go from here?
False Starts - How bad are things really? - Next up: Three very very important games. - How do we approach them?

If you were listening really intently, you might have heard that Fulham brought on a 15-year-old against Millwall in the Carabao Cup. Although young Harvey Elliott took the headlines, he was the cherry on the cake of a wonderful Whites performance, albeit against a lacklustre Millwall side at an almost empty Den.
It couldn't have been more different from the last time we played them if we tried, although Fulham put the same amount of goals away. We break it down:
- Nice blend of youth and regulars
- 3-5-2! Are wingbacks the way forward?
- Saving Private Bryan
- REEEEAAAAAM
- Luca De La Torre's wonderful performance
- And our youngest ever debutant
Moving swiftly on though, we face Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday; and getting a result in the league there has been something that has eluded Fulham for the best part of 50 years!
- Who should play?
- How should we set up?
- What to expect from Everton
- We spoke to Ped from Toffee TV to get the inside line on the opposition camp!

A point against Watford is nothing to be embarrassed about, but there were some first half moments where Fulham's back line made the Hornets look a little bit like Manchester City on Saturday, not least when we conceded after 90 seconds again.
There were more positives from this one, though, and Mitro's late strike sorted the Whites out with a point after a much improved second-half display - inspired by Slav's substitutions and ability to change things up.
The full Hornets breakdown. - What happened first half? - Lucky to go in at 1-0. - Slav's masterstroke subs. - Vietto's performance. - Mitro on target again. - Much better second period.
Millwall in the Cup! - Do we play the youth? - Who plays at the back? - How important is the Carabao Cup for FFC?
We also answer a stack full of your questions including the latest on Mission: Saving Private Bryan.

After two testing away trips, Fulham are back at Craven Cottage for an important match against Watford, who have flown out of the traps this season with four wins from four. It's an interesting match-up, which sees Slavisa Jokanovic face his former side for the first time.
In this episode we speak to Mike Parkin from the fantastic 'From The Rookery End' podcast to get an opposition point-of-view ahead of the weekend's game.
We also chat to David Lloyd from TOOFIF (There's Only One 'F' In Fulham) who are releasing a special hardback book looking back at the past thirty years of Fulham. You can purchase the book from our website at fulhamish.co.uk/shop See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Fulham travelled to the home of the Champions on Saturday, where they were given a comprehensive schooling by Pep Guardiola's men, who, quite simply were a cut above the Whites. They are the best team in the country and probably the world, mind.
We talk:
- Slav's lineup choices
- Defensive errors
- What did we learn?
In the second part of the episode, we took to your questions to have a deep dive on the defence:
- How much do we miss Ream?
- Does Slav know his best back four?
- What's up with Joe Bryan?
- How does Sess fit in going forward?

Fulhamish Xtra is back after the international break previewing what will no doubt be Fulham's hardest test of the season, away at Manchester City - one of Europe's most feared sides.
To get a City perspective on this weekend's match we spoke to Lewis Steele from City Watch. He's predicting Fulham to attack, and thinks it might be our best option if we hope to get anything from the game.
Also in this podcast, is the debut episode of The Stats Show. Ben Jarman is joined by Fulhamish's resident stats experts, George Singer and Nik MacNee. The boys discuss the Bettinelli v Fabri debate, our tendency to give away high value chances and Fulham's passing game.

This week we analyse the performance from the south coast, as Fulham gifted two goals to a resurgent Brighton. World Cup Winner Andre Schürrle opened to scoring for the Whites after a superb assist from Mika, and Mitro was once again on fire. After storming in to a two goal lead, Glenn Murray’s brace was enough to ensure that Fulham returned home with a solitary pie... sorry, point.
We reminisce about Clint Dempsey and his best moments in the black and white, discuss the role for Maxime Le Marchand at length and finally answer a bag full of your questions.

It's nought from two, but plenty to be optimistic about, for the boys in black and white, after a first loss at Wembley since 1975 to a very good Spurs outfit. Fulham were good value for the game though, and were undone by two world-class strikes and some slack defending. We break it down.
We give our lowdown on Spurs, including: - Some dodgy defending - Who should play at the back? - Mitro off the mark - Trippier's thunderbolt - How did the new boys do?
We also discussed: - How important is the Burnley game? - The great ticket price debate - Stack full of your questions!

Fulham's first game back in the Premier League didn't quite go as planned, with the Whites succumbing to a 0-2 reverse to Crystal Palace, who, under Roy Hodgson, did an absolute Hodgson job on FFC. We should have expected it. The boys convene to talk the reasons to be positive, where Fulham can improve and how things looked from the sidelines.
First up, we looked back at the Palace game in focus: - A great first half! - The Hodgson way - The goalkeeper conundrum - Schurr-le a penalty?! - How did the new boys do?

Fulhamish are back for 2018/19 with our first Premier League podcast of the new season! Now the World Cup is over and the club season is firmly back on the horizon, we've reared our heads from the mire and are back in your ears with all things black and white.
Whilst not quite up to full match fitness yet; Sammy, Jack, Ben and debutant Adam get back into training by taking a first look at new signings Jean-Michael Seri and Maxime Le Marchand, including a long discussion on how to pronounce the Ivorian's name properly, and what they'll add to the squad.
Saturday's friendly against Reading was a good runout and gave us a change to have a look at Le Marchand in action for the first time, as well as assessing some of the latest Academy prospects. We spoke to Fulham's very own Jamie Reid, who was, as ever, there to commentate on proceedings.
We look at the fixtures which got us all excited for our upcoming return to the big time, and took some time to discuss some of the brightest and best questions from yesterday's first ever #TransferTuesday special which we ran on our Instagram.

Not many people have ever made so much of an impression on a club whilst on loan as Lucas Piazon had on Fulham fans. Coming into the Cottage on deadline day in August 2016, no-one knew quite what an impact the Brazilian would have - not only on the pitch, but in terms of endearing himself to the fanbase as well. We went over to Lucas' place to talk all things Fulham, covering everything from the perfect day at Wembley, Slavisa's training styles, how he felt he had fitted in at the club and rolled through the Piazon-Fulham love story from its tender beginnings through to where we are today. There’s plenty of chat about his relationships with the other players at the club, how his time abroad helped to forge his playing style and where the two-way acrimony with Reading FC comes from, as well as gathering his thoughts on Chelsea's loan system, his childhood in Sao Paolo and ask whether either football or Lucas is coming home (to Brazil or Fulham respectively). Whilst we have your attention for a minute, make sure that you’re subscribed to our new YouTube channel, which we're massively expanding over the next year.

The boys convened again having had some time to recover from the promotion celebrations, in order to take a look back at the season as a whole, from Neeskens Kebano's penalty against Piast Gliwice to our glorious day out at Wembley.
We examine the shaky start, the depths of November and give the unbeaten run our full attention, as the season gets dissected across a bumper edition of Fulhamish.
There's plenty of time to talk about the departure of Ryan Fredericks, who swapped West London for East on Tuesday, a debate about how best to replace him and the Fulhamish End of Season Awards, which we hope are slightly more fun than your standard ones!
As ever, plenty of questions have made their way into the postbag, and we discuss the best of them in full detail, giving you something to keep you tided over on all things FFC over the summer months.

This one doesn't need too much by way of an introduction. Fulhamish convene two days after the greatest day in Fulham's recent history to talk all things about Saturday's monumental victory at Wembley.
Sammy, Jack, Dom, Farrell and Drew hit the studio, whilst Ben joins us on an audio link to talk everything that could possibly be said about the Playoff Final - we break down TC's glorious goal, the effectiveness of the White Wall, the feelings at the final whistle and just how much the whole day meant to everyone.
There are tears, lost voices, and a lingering sense of ecstasy all over the shop, and the whole thing is topped up by a very special montage from Fulham fans far and wide, to let you relive everything one more time.

With only days remaining until Fulham break a 43-year-old curse that has prevented them reaching the hallowed ground of Wembley Stadium, the Fulhamish boys reconvene to make one last podcast before the big day.
There's a more in-depth preview of what we can expect from both our boys in White and our opponents at the weekend, as well as plenty of special features from all over the world, to gear you up for the big day!
First of all, we have the pleasure of being joined by a former Fulham favourite - the hero that is Zat Knight, who towered in the heart of our back line for years in the early part of the Whites' Premier League tenure. He also played for Villa a bit (boo), so we spoke to him to get his views on this season and the Playoff final in general.
Next up is Stephen Monk, father of our very own Farrell, who talked to us about his experiences of the 1975 FA Cup Final and how it feels to be going back to Wembley after all these years. We gauge his feelings on the season and how confident he's feeling before the game against Villa.
We also talk to Jack Copeland, who's coming across from California for this game. Jack's followed Fulham for years, including being one of the 17 people that made the trip to FK Vetra, and now he runs California Whites, the foremost FFC group in the Golden State.
Fulhamish has been inundated with lovely messages from fans everywhere, and we'll touch on those to give you a flavour of those International Exiled Fulham fans flying in for the big day. As ever, there's plenty of time for questions, and we address all the big queries before our big day out.

With Wembley under a week away we discussed all the latest goings on surrounding Fulham's Championship play-off final with Aston Villa on Saturday.
On the agenda was the mad scramble for Wembley tickets, which most agreed had been dealt with well by the club. We also previewed the game examining who should start at right-wing, and whether the big pitch gives us an advantage over our second-city opponents
Dan Bardell from The Villa View joined us to give us a full lowdown on our opponents. Finally, as always, we ended with a run-down of all your questions.

It took everything, but Fulham, emblazoned by the lights and atmosphere of a bouncing Craven Cottage, made their chances count and overcame a 1-0 reverse at Pride Park with an emphatic win to send the Whites to Wembley for the first time since 1975.
Not much to talk about then.
We're going to Wembley, and we're 90 minutes (maybe) from a place in the Premier League, but the boys have plenty of time to work themselves into a frenzy about next week, so this pod is going to be a pure dedication to last night's ecstacy and a revelling in the moment before attentions return to the hard work left to come.
We bathe in the highlights of last night, of gorgeous performances from Stef, TC, Mitro and Ream; of our very own wonderkid who did it again; and sing praises to the heavens of the most unlikely of superheroes - Denis Odoi.
As ever, there's time for questions and a vague discussion surrounding the arrangements in place for the big day out, but mostly it's just a warm snug podcast to help you remember all the glory of Fulham's first ever playoff game victory.

Fulhamish went to Craven Cottage to record a Play-Off special after Friday's unfortunate 1-0 reverse at Pride Park, and to take some comfort in the hallowed old ground before tomorrow's do-or-die game against Derby County at the Home of Football.
Sammy, Jack, Ben and Dom took to the Johnny Haynes stand to invoke the spirits of the founding fathers before we play tomorrow, before discussing everything there could be discussed out of the first leg in the East Midlands.
After that, Sammy caught up with Fulham's very own matchday announcer - the hero that is Ivan Berry - to get his views on tomorrow night and how to get the Cottage rocking, before we took apart the fixture in great detail, working out how we'd get around a stubborn and well-organised Rams side.
There's plenty of questions, including a dissection of the form of our full-backs and whether we'd become too reliant on the Mitrovic magic, and we did our best to get through as many as possible before we wrapped things up. It's now or never, Fulham

Here we go again, another crunch match for the Whites and the start of a second consecutive play-off campaign. This Friday sees Fulham come up against Derby County at Pride Park, the start of a two-legged semi-final in which the winner will progress to Wembley.
In this podcast we discuss what line-up changes we may see from Slavisa with such a short turnaround between matches. Then, we speak to Tom and Richard from Steve Bloomer's Washing, a Derby County podcast. They give us a full lowdown on the Rams, and what kind of mood they're in going into these crucial games.

Fulham’s unbeaten run came crashing down against Birmingham City at St. Andrew’s as the Whites failed to get the win that might well have seen them promoted.
It’s not that, though, that has the boys in the studio riled as Dom unleashed on a spineless performance which disappointed far more than the result itself, for which a resolute Blues side were more than value for.
We pick apart the bones of the defeat and how it came about, before turning the positivity dial back up and looking forward to a post-season campaign which could yet end in glory.
Jack’s impassioned plea to back the boys over the next couple of weeks hits a spot in the studio, before we deal with the best of the post bag - and there’s a lot of big questions to answer!
A huge thankyou for all your support across all our networks —Twitter, Facebook and Instagram — and for all those of you who write for and help curate the Fulhamish website, which houses the best Fulham content on the internet.

The Whites potentially stand 90 minutes from a return to the Premier League on Sunday, but fate is not in our hands. In this podcast we preview not only our visit to Birmingham City but also Cardiff's game with Reading.
To get an opposition view on affairs we spoke to Blues fan and Bluescast podcaster Tim Arstall about how things shape up for Garry Monk's side. We also caught up with Love Sport host Aaron Paul for a wider perspective on affairs. Catch Aaron hosting the Fulham Fan Show on Love Sport Radio every Wednesday night, with members of the Fulhamish clan, from 9-10pm UK time.
Can Fulham do it? Only time will tell. We'll see you at St Andrews.

It's more winning ways for Fulham this week and although other results didn't quite fall the way of the Whites, there's a quiet feeling of pleased reflection among the boys in the studio as we look back on an incredible second half of the season, and a full century of podcasts.
We open with a full discussion of the Sunderland game and all of the caveats it possessed, including a complete round of praise for the much-maligned Aboubakar Kamara, who had a fantastic game off the bench in an unfamiliar right-wing position.
There's time to discuss Matt Targett's injury, Cardiff's result at Hull, the Birmingham game and whether any old friends (and foes) might be in the position to do us just a tiny favour over in Wales next weekend.
As ever, we take a host of Fulham questions from across the board, talking about everything from squad rotation to who we'd love to score the winner at the weekend, and there's plenty of laughs as well.

There was a buoyant mood in the studio for Fulhamish Xtra this evening as Cardiff’s loss to Derby last night leaves the Whites just a point off the Bluebirds with two games to play.
Whilst automatic promotion is still very much in the hands of Neil Warnock and his motley crew, the heat of Fulham breathing down their necks has surely never been felt more, and with Fulham to play first this weekend, the pressure will be on should the Whites get a result against Sunderland.
That’s a job in itself, however, as we’ve seen time and time again that sides already relegated can be freed from the constraints of pressure and form formidable opposition. The Whites will need to be professional and calm enough to get the job done against the Black Cats.
In that vein, we talk to Tom from Roker Report, who gives us the view from Wearside, where things do admittedly look bleak; and his thoughts on Friday’s fixture.
There’s also a chat with Chris Parsons from Steve Bloomer’s Washing, who we thanked for their heroics last night, and a host of questions framing everything across the world of black and white.

Fulham ultimately ran out comfortable 3-0 winners at The Den courtesy of a sensational second-half suffocation of the Lions, but only after a battling first 45 had been endured by the 11 on the pitch and the 2200 in the away end.
Ultimately, it wasn't enough to leave the Whites in the automatic spot they so desperately crave, as Cardiff City got another scrappy three points against a much-improved Nottingham Forest side, but the result proves Fulham's ruthless side this season and shows why no side will fancy their chances against us in the playoffs.
We talk all things regarding the win at The Den, including Millwall's famous atmosphere, the performance of referee Andre Marriner, some brilliant defending, and of course, three fantastic goals which took the game beyond the hosts and the points back to South West London.
There's time to discuss Tim Cahill, our latest pantomime villain; the Cardiff City performance against Forest; the Bluebirds' forthcoming trip to Derby County; and the latest playoff picture—as well as ruminating on Fulhamish's own weekend performance, as we put Fulham Focus to the sword in a game to support the #Fulham2BirminghamWalk.
As ever, there's a host of questions, including the wider state of play for some of the squad, who we really wouldn't fancy in the playoff semi-finals, and how this side might have fared in the Premier League this season.

It's a huge game in store this Friday as Fulham travel to The Den hoping to keep the slim chances of automatic promotion alive. With Millwall fighting for a play-off place it has all the makings of an epic London Derby.
In this podcast we preview Friday's match, and ask the question of whether anything less than a win means our chances of catching Cardiff are gone. We also get an opposition fan's view of affairs from Nick Hart of Achtung Millwall Radio.
Finally, we catch up with Fulham Focus founder Dannyboi as Fulhamish and Fulham Focus are playing a charity 6-a-side game to raise money and awareness for CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably). Danny and some other Fulham supporters are walking to the Birmingham game to raise money for the charity, and you can donate to them here.

There was a late sting in the tail on Saturday as Brentford's Neal Maupay dealt Fulham a late blow in their quest to claim automatic promotion.
In this show we ask whether Fulham were even lucky to claim a point in what was a disjointed display from the lads. We also question some of our game management which lead to us throwing away vital points.
Afterwards we examine the impact Saturday has had on our chances of topping Cardiff, plus we wax lyrical over Ryan Sessegnon's incredible four gongs at the EFL Awards.
As always, we ended on your questions - which included a glowing compliment of Slav's suave dress sense.

Fulham ground out a 1-0 win over Reading in a potential banana skin of a fixture last night, in a trickier-than-expected fixture against the Royals of Berkshire, who became somewhat of a nemesis in the season prior to this one.
That's not all though, as the result, combined with a wonderstrike from Jack Grealish which condemned Cardiff to defeat at Villa Park, saw the Whites jump above the Bluebirds into the automatic promotion spots, albeit for the time being, with Cardiff having a game in hand.
The boys convene to discuss the performance against Reading yesterday, whether or not the Fulham team look tired, and whether the Royals appear to have enough to beat the drop.
There's plenty of time to discuss the upcoming derby day with Brentford, who have confirmed this week that they are again sailing by boat to their Cup Final day out (🙄), and how the Bees will look to cause us problems and spoil the party.
To top things off, Jack goes for an interview with Mr. Roland Jacquarello, author of Being Fulham, to catch his views on the book, the season as a whole, and gather his thoughts on how this campaign ranks in the pantheon of Fulham stories he has in his locker.
If you're interested, the book is available on Amazon and Lulu, with a special offer for Fulham fans available until the end of the month. Questions follow, as per, as we pick the best of the mailbag to put through the mixer of a Fulhamish discussion.

Fulham made it 19 unbeaten at Hillsborough on Saturday as they dispatched a limp Owls side 1-0 thanks to another goal from our very own man on fire Aleksandar Mitrovic, with an assist from the boy wonder himself.
Whilst Fulham dominated for large swathes of the game, it looked at times like it might just be one of those days, but it's testament to both Slavisa Jokanovic and the new-look Fulham side he's built in his image that the result was ground out and three points were brought home from a ground where Fulham haven't had much luck over the years.
There's plenty of chat about a sturdy Fulham defence, who restricted the Owls to just four shots all game, of which zero were on target, to make it three clean sheets in a row, something which will certainly please the gaffer.
With Wednesday in the rear-view mirror, our attentions turn to Reading at the Cottage, who would love nothing more than to effectively finish their season with three points that would see them all but safe and also seriously damage our own promotion ambitions.
Sone Aluko, Chris Martin, Neil Warnock and Nuno feature in an extensive question section as we wrap things up for the afternoon, and there's plenty of chat about Premier League potential too.

Easter weekends don’t come much sweeter than than what Fulham have experienced, as back-to-back 2-0 wins made it a perfect return from the international break for the Whites.
A dominant victory over a Norwich City side who caused Fulham numerous problems both last year and in August was a Good Friday harbinger of what was to come, before Leeds United were put to the sword in similar fashion at the Cottage with the Paschal festivities all but wrapped up.
It was treats for everyone as Stef, TC, KMac and Mitro all grabbed goals, but the Easter Bunny was the one and only Marcus Bettinelli, who produced two excellent performances and two clean sheets to match as the Whites looked to put the pressure on second place Cardiff City.
Whilst that second spot remains elusive for the moment, the podcast gang wrapped up the weekend’s events with two debutants joining Jack and Sammy for a special post-game shutdown - the much coveted nous of Lydia Campbell was coupled with our favourite Tim Ream fanboy Nathan Martin to shake things up a bit.
There was a full breakdown of both games, some fun StefJo craic and a couple of questions to boot as Fulhamish returned for an entree into the final straight of the season.

International Football is over and it's a long downhill stretch to May, where Fulham's destiny one way or another will ultimately be sealed.
In this podcast we looked forward to the Easter Weekend's serving of football, as Fulham travel to Norwich City, before hosting Leeds United at Craven Cottage.
We spoke to Norwich fan Jack Reeve, host of the Talk Norwich City YouTube Channel for an opposition view of affairs, and we also spoke to Chris Macchi - an American Fulham Season Ticket Holder for a Stateside opinion on all things Black and White.

A sour-tasting 2-2 draw with West London rivals QPR marked a club-record 16th game unbeaten for Fulham as their march towards the playoffs continues.
After a dominant first half in which the Whites were rarely troubled, a disappointing second half let QPR back in to game in which they didn’t deserve to be in. A calamitous mistake from the centre half led to shouts of ‘Oh Dear, Odoi’ and proved costly.
This week we discuss what Fulham did right in the first half, paid for in the second half and how our visitors stopped the Whites from playing our usual majestic football.
We also ask whether Slavisa make the wrong changes, The play-off picture as we enter the international break and, most importantly, your questions.

There's not normally much extra spice needed on Derby Day, but this weekend's clash with QPR is about far more than bragging rights for Fulham, it's about keeping the pressure up on Cardiff & Villa as the Whites desperately try and steal that automatic promotion spot.
Standing in our way are a Rangers team that have little to play for, and are hell-bent on spoiling our promotion campaign. We preview what challenge the R's will pose to Fulham and speak to one of their fans, Gareth Dixon, about Saturday's clash.
At the end of this show Sammy speaks to David Lloyd, editor of Fulham fanzine TOOFIF, which is celebrating its 30th birthday this year. David speaks about how the fanzine started, the highs and lows of running Fulham's most popular fanzine, and how he thinks this could be the year Fulham reach the Premier League once more.

Fulham went up to Deepdale on Saturday off the back off a fantastic result in midweek, but tasked with conquering a Preston side bang in form and who had caused the Whites serious problems earlier on in the campaign.
We talk about the eventual victory over the League's other Lilywhites, and a performance which lacked genuine quality until the introduction of some brilliant substitutions from the gaffer, as well as the form of our Serbian hitman on fire, Aleksandar Mitrovic.
There's plenty of time to discuss the promotion picture as a whole, including the form of Aston Villa and Cardiff; as well as whether it's feasible to force our way into the automatic spots - or even the Champions berth.
The postbag was overflowing again and so we did our best to get through a mound of questions - on all sorts of topics across the weird and wonderful world of FFC.

Fulham cut open play-off hopefuls Sheffield United on Tuesday night to secure a ninth home victory in a row at Craven Cottage and keep up the pressure on Cardiff and Villa in the hunt for automatic promotion.
We look back on the game and wax lyrical about stand-out performances from captain Tom Cairney and the talismanic Aleksandar Mitrovic, who's signing seems to have been a season changer.
We then look ahead to Saturday's trip to in-form Preston, the last of Fulham's so-called 'big-six' fixtures all against promotion hopeful teams. It promises to be a difficult encounter at Deepdale, but Sammy and Jack are hopeful the Whites can still come out on top.

Derby were the rams to the slaughter on Saturday as Slavisa Jokanovic's Fulham marched onwards and upwards towards the promised land with another brilliant win against play-off rivals allowing the Whites to leapfrog Derby into fourth position.
Early goals from Aleksandar Mitrovic and Ryan Sessegnon set the tone for the day, and although Tom Huddlestone pulled one back for the hosts, some heroic defending saw the Whites see out a deserved win and take the three points back in the snow to West London. The boys discuss the ins and outs of the game, including the performance of skipper and talisman Tom Cairney, who delivered a masterclass in the centre of the park; and look at the whole situation in wider context.
There's a full preview of tomorrow's game against Sheffield United at the Cottage, a chat about how Ryan Sessegnon is an old breed of winger whose time might be coming again, and as ever, an absolute glut of questions to get to the heart of the issues that matter to the Fulham faithful.

Breathless. Magnificent. Sublime. Wins don't get much better than playing the runaway best side in the division at their own game, and absolutely blowing them away.
Having had two days to reflect and contemplate on what is simply one of Fulham's best performances in a long time, the Fulhamish boys sit down to discuss the game, what it means in the bigger picture, and how Fulham can harness this form until the end of the season.
There's plenty of discussion about the imperious Tim Ream, who, alongside KMac, has become the rock on which Slavisa has built his church; as well as the impact of Aleksandar Mitrovic, who was an absolute menace for 90 minutes to a Wolves back line which has rarely been troubled all season.
There are simply not enough words to describe the unbelievable goalscoring form of Ryan Sessegnon, who is the undoubted reigning Prince of Craven Cottage, and it is simply a pleasure to watch him continue to develop in front of our eyes. We take all sorts of questions from across the board to wrap things up in the usual way!

February's tough run of games continued on Wednesday, as Fulham came away from Ashton Gate with a credible 1-1 draw against a surprisingly physical Bristol City side. Farrell and Sammy look back at the performance and pick apart the good and bad parts of Fulham's play.
Then we looked forward to Wolves in what promises to be a high quality affair on Saturday at Craven Cottage. We also spoke to Wolves fan Sam Cook from The 77 Podcast for his thoughts on Saturday's match.

So many superlatives were thrown around at the end of Fulham's win over Villa that we could have spent the entire podcast reeling them off, but the overwhelming feeling is that Fulham's second-half performance was one of the most assured in years against a good side in good form.
Before the Villa game, Fulham were in high spirits, but the Whites' performance took that feeling and sent it soaring into stratospheres of new hope that this could be our year and that we were coming into our stride with our prospects still firmly within our own hands and with time to do something about it.
Villa came into this game having won seven in a row, and making their own charge towards the automatic spots, but if missing their two talismen in Grealish and Adomah wasn't enough, they were stylishly put to the sword by a swashbuckling Fulham side that could (and probably should) have made the scoreline more embarassing for the Birmingham outfit.
We discuss the game in detail before setting our sights on Wednesday's trip to Ashton Gate and a Bristol City side who caused the Whites all sorts of problems in the return fixture at the Cottage earlier this season. As ever, there's plenty of time for questions and a deep discussion about the impact of the new signings that January saw brought in.

Here we go then, six games that will define Fulham's season. Can the Whites capitalise on their excellent run of form, and defeat some of the Championship's toughest teams?
The epic six game run starts on Saturday as red-hot Aston Villa visit the Cottage. On this episode we plot a way past Steve Bruce's men, and how big an impact the return of John Terry will have.
Jack then speaks about that game, plus the championship in general with Bleacher Report's Sam Tighe, before we round off this Xtra podcast by speaking to the FST's Dan Crawford about Fulham U18's brilliant FA Youth Cup win at Plymouth, and the Riverside Stand consultation.

Fulham's winning run came to an end at the Macron stadium at the weekend, but the unbeaten streak continues as Fulham hit what will be the clutch period for this season's promotion ambitions.
We took apart the nuts and bolts of the Bolton game, including Matty Targett's first senior goal, Rui Fonte's golden opportunity, another good performance from Marcus Bettinelli; and the late chances that Fulham failed to take, in stark contrast to our recent late surges.
The Bolton game was the end of Fulham's 'Four Game Runway' into the 'big six' and we looked at the period as a whole, looking at what we've achieved and what needs to happen over the next month or two to remain in the picture for both playoff and automatic promotion dreams.
As ever, there’s plenty of time for questions and debate, and we take two minutes to think about how different strategies might work with the personnel at Slavisa's disposal.

The Whites look to make it six victories in a row this weekend up in the North-West as we take on a rejuvenated Bolton Wanderers side. The boys debated whether Fulham can continue their impressive form, and what kind of threat The Trotters will pose us on Saturday. To get more Bolton opinion, we asked fan Gareth Steggles his opinion on the upcoming clash.
Then, Sammy spoke to Get West London's Fulham correspondent Ryan O'Donovan his opinion's on Fulham's transfer deadline signings, Tom Cairney's injury and Stefan Johansen's notable goal celebration against Forest last weekend.

Fulham's fifth Championship win on the spin and an unheard of sixth consecutive league home victory saw off the challenge of Aitor Karanka's new-look Nottingham Forest at Craven Cottage on Saturday, as the Whites went up to the dizzying heights of fifth in the Championship table. The game threw up plenty of talking points, with the match chat centred around Fulham's frustrating inability to start halves well, their excellent habit of scoring late goals, the return to life of Stefan Johansen, the impact of Aleksander Mitrovic and the assured quality of Matt Targett. Whilst good performances all round are a good thing, it throws up a bit of a selection headache for Jokanovic, with his three strikers one issue; the six loanees fighting for five spaces another; and 20 players of first-team calibre chomping at the bit for selection a further complication. As Drew says, however, these are good problems to have. There's plenty of time for questions at the end as Dom retains his secretarial duties for a second week running after an assured performance there on last week's episode, where we discuss the return of Tom Cairney, the captain's social media habits; and debate who was the club's best ever January signing.

There are few names more sacred in the 21st-Century Fulham pantheon than that of Brede Hangeland, who made 270 caps for the Whites and formed one half of the partnership fondly remembered as the 'Thames Barrier'. It was an absolute pleasure, therefore, to welcome the great man as the first ever 'Big Interview' on Fulhamish. We spent 45 minutes talking to Brede, covering everything from the Great Escape, through the European years and through the dark days of Martin Jol and Felix Magath; with anecdotes about Aaron Hughes, Dimitar Berbatov and Jimmy Bullard sprinkled through for good measure. There's plenty of chat about the stewardship of Roy Hodgson, who Hangeland felt a special connection with; about the other ways in which managers related to him; we touch on the ecstasy and the agony he felt in his spell with Fulham; and finally get to the bottom of the Felix Magath debacle. There's time to grab Brede's all-time Fulham XI and his thoughts on former international teammate and current midfield dynamo Stefan Johansen at the end.

It was the late show again on Saturday as Fulham claimed a fourth consecutive victory in dramatic circumstances at Oakwell to finally move into those coveted play-off places (for the time being at least).
On tonight's episode we discuss all the numerous talking points from the game, plus we also reveal big news that we are going to be speaking to Brede Hangeland this Wednesday on Fulhamish.
We did some transfer talk, including why Tom Cairney will most likely not move to West Ham and whether Stefano Okaka would be a good move. We then rounded off the podcast looking ahead to next weekend's Nottingham Forest test at Craven Cottage.

This week, we look ahead to Barnsley, as Fulham head up the M1 in search of a fourth consecutive victory to keep the promotion dream well and truly alive.
To get the inside scoop on The Tykes, we once again catch up with Carlo from Reds Report. He tells us about how Barnsley fans are planning on paying tribute to their late former-owner Patrick Cryne, who sadly lost his battle with cancer on Monday.
Also, Jack spoke to Bleacher Report's Transfer Insider Dean Jones on what moves he expects Fulham to make with just one week remaining of the January transfer window.

The Portuguese Connection between Rui Fonte and Lucas Piazon came to the fore at the weekend as the pair put a hapless Burton Albion to the sword in a swashbuckling first half by the Whites.
The Fulhamish boys convene to dissect a near-perfect performance against what was admittedly was a dismal opposition, take a look at the burgeoning relationships within the squad, and look forward to having two strikers returned to both confidence and form for the next couple of games.
Ryan Sessegnon gets yet another love-in, there's special praise for Aboubakar Kamara (even from Jack); before we look at new signing Matt Targett, adding a little chat with Saints specialists The Ugly Inside for more the 'inside scoop' (sorry) on Fulham's latest acquisition.
As ever, there's loads of room for your questions and discussion points, which focus heavily on the birthday boy Lucas Piazon, and everyone goes home happy.

We also get the opposition view of Tony Bentley, Burton's BBC match-day commentator.
Finally, we speak to George from the exceptional Not The Top 20 Podcast on how they see Fulham's season from a neutral perspective and also who they think the other main play-off challengers are faring.

The Hollywood Moment: A moment of great drama or sentimentality, usually at the climax or zenith of a narrative.
It seems only fitting then, that it was Fulham's very own 'name in lights' midfielder who was the man to win and convert the penalty that snatched the three points at the death on Teesside.
The Fulhamish boys convene to discuss the heist that took place at the Riverside Stadium on Saturday afternoon, hear all about the latest episode of Dom's North-Eastern adventures and ponder over whether a victory is papering over some of the cracks that still exist within the squad.
There's a whole host of new transfer rumours to mull over, especially regarding a prospective bid for Tom Cairney from Fulham fan Alan Pardew at West Bromwich Albion, and we talk about Tony Khan's reassuring statement regarding the future of Ryan Sessegnon as well.

League football makes a welcome return this weekend as Fulham look to continue their good form at The Riverside against a resurgent Middlesbrough. We preview Saturday's game and debate what effect newly appointed Tony Pulis will have.
We then get an opposition preview from James who is a member of The Boro Podcast before a debate on which Fulham players could cut it in the Premier League.
We round off the show with a phone call from Mike Gregg, who gives us some of the permutations and combinations of what Fulham need to do to reach the play-offs this season.

Saturday brought the visit of Premier League Southampton, and a drab performance brought the end of Fulham's cup exploits for another year, with a 90 minute sojourn being all the Whites would offer to the FA Cup for 2018.
James Ward-Prowse's goal comes under the microscope, but it mostly comes down to a lack of cohesion from the Fulham squad and one or two individual performances which were particularly poor - the boys examine just what went wrong and if Southampton were there for the taking.
There's a breakdown of Slavisa's meltdown in last week's press conference, and we take some time out to consider whether the gaffer's argument with the board is having a negative effect on both transfer targets and the fanbase in general.
The postbag is fully stacked this week and we do our best to rattle through loads of questions which cover everything from transfer policy to Premier League referees.

Fulhamish is back in full force after the festive break, and there’s reasons to be cheerful after a good sequence of results from the Whites has brought Fulham back into touching distance of the playoff spots.
The boys dissect the Hull and Ipswich games, talk about the impact of Aboubakar Kamara’s timely ascension to form, and think about how the Christmas period as a whole can impact the remainder of the Championship season.
There’s some well-deserved praise for Slavisa Jokanovic, after he made some important adaptations to both his style and tactical methods, and Fulham’s awful defending from set pieces is brought under the Fulhamish spotlight.
As always, there’s plenty of time for your questions at the end, and we take a look at the value of a certain Ryan Sessegnon as the episode comes to a close.

The Fulhamish boys convened for the last time in full before Christmas, with a breakdown of how everything went wrong this weekend against Sunderland.
We wondered just how Slavisa’s Whites managed to lose to a Sunderland side that had failed to win at home for 364 days and tried to reason for yet another game of Stefan Johansen at False 9.
Inevitably, the discussion turns to the future of the man at the helm, and case for the defence Mr Dan Crawford takes the stand to argue for Slavisa’s case. Ben and Dom sit nicely on the fence whilst Jack launches his offensive on why either Slavisa needs to adapt or die.
As ever, there’s plenty of time for questions and debate, and we take two minutes to ponder the return of Vincenzo Montella.

It was a far from convincing three points for the Whites at the weekend but Fulham avoided embarrassment with a 1-0 win over Birmingham City at Craven Cottage.
We break down the game, including working out what Slavisa is up to with his formations, the inevitable discussion of Marcus Bettinelli and whether Jeremy Boga's penalty was the worst that we've ever seen at Craven Cottage (and that's saying something!)
There's plenty of praise for Tim Ream, and a Lucas Piazon love-in, before a discussion of whether our actual strikers should be starting (even in the false 9!), as well as some thoughts about whether a better team would have taken us apart on Saturday.
We break down Sunderland's terrible home record, and ponder whether it's inevitable that Cookie will break us down at the Stadium of Light on Saturday, before dissecting the way that the Whites should be looking to take apart the Black Cats on Wearside.
The postbag is brimming with your questions, which we do our best to answer, before Sammy wraps things up with some questionable quotes from the silver screen.

A sombre mood on this week's podcast, as we look back at Saturday's West London Derby defeat at Griffin Park, an afternoon that started so well but ended in tragedy for the Whites.
In this episode we pour over what went wrong for Fulham against The Bees, including a lengthy debate about Jokanovic's bizarre substitutions which may well have cost Fulham the game.
In fact, Jokanovic is the centre of most of today's discussion, with his future at Fulham starting to look shaky. We also look ahead to Birmingham, try to put the Button/Bettinneli debate to bed and hypothesise who might get a game at Right Back next week.

Fulham recorded back-to-back wins for first time in a while, and kept a clean sheet for the first time in an even longer while as the Whites put Millwall to the sword at Craven Cottage.
We discuss the key to a clean sheet, what on earth is wrong with Stefan Johansen, where Michael Madl has been hiding, and whether we should be creating more at home.
Then there's a preview of next weekend's trip to Brentford, including a quick chat about where the Fulhamish boys will be drinking before the game (come and join us!) and how it's going to pan out over in Hounslow.
As ever, there's plenty of time for your questions, which include a pertinent point about the lack of the half-time Cottage Conundrum as well as a discussion of short corners, the role of Aboubakar Kamara and our depth in the youth ranks at centre-back.

The boys are back with an emergency podcast after Tuesday’s incredible topsy-turvy game up at Bramall Lane, with Fulham registering a much-needed win against the high-flying Blades in the Steel City.
We discuss the game in its entirety, especially the contributions of the Prince of Craven Cottage, Ryan Sessegnon, and the returning Sheyi Ojo, who – as we’ve discovered – is absolutely crucial to Fulham winning football matches.
There’s a discussion of defensive frailties and substitutions for their own sake, before we take an in-depth look at this weekend’s opponents – Millwall, from the Den. Boasting a number of former Fulham players in their ranks, in particular a certain Ryan Tunnicliffe, the Lions will be no pushover but represent an opportunity for the Whites to get their faltering home form back on the right track.
The postbag was overflowing with questions this week, and we discussed the continual rotation of strikers, who our favourites for automatic promotion were at this stage, and the statistics that Fulham boast with and without our Liverpool loanee in the side.

A 1-1 home draw doesn't sound like much to get excited about, but Fulham finally showed some glimpses of their footballing prowess in a encouraging, but ultimately frustrating, draw against the travelling Rams.
We dissect the result, including full appraisals for our league debutants Tayo Edun and Luca De La Torre, and think about whether Fulham's improved play was due to Tom Cairney's returning influence.
There's a preview of tomorrow night's trip to high-flying Sheffield United at Bramall Lane, and a full discussion on the latest documentation released by the Fulham Supporter's Trust about the atmosphere at Craven Cottage. As ever there's time for your questions at the end!

Fresh from the final international break of 2017, Fulhamish is back to preview Fulham's upcoming games, as Slav and his side look to get their season back on track.
First up is a tricky test against Derby County at the Cottage, who had been on sparkling form up until a surprise defeat to Reading just before the international break. We look ahead to the 'Chris Martin Derby' and ponder what kind of reception he might receive if he makes an appearance.
We also look further ahead, and ask what minimum points return Slavisa needs to achieve if he is to avoid some real pressure both fans and the board.

As it's the international break and Fulham have some time away from the pitch, here at Fulhamish we decided to up the ante and bring back the famous Fulhamish phone-in for another frank discussion about the issues directly affecting Whites fans at the current moment.
We talked potential January signings with Louis, before discussing the atmosphere and acoustics of both Craven Cottage and the away faithful with Nathan.
We had the pleasure of the one and only Archie Rhind-Tutt on the phone to talk about the ins and outs of the Kline situation and the role of analytics in the Bundesliga, afterwards we chat to George about whether Slavisa is able to manage a team in the long haul and rounded things off with a tactics chat with Elliot.
Thanks to everyone who came on and all of you that sent in questions as well - Fulhamish will be back next week with a Derby preview once the international break is done!

Fulham's performance against Wolves on Friday was a limp display which basically summed up the feelings of discomfort surrounding the club after the backroom unrest which dominated the headlines at the club over the past week.
The boys take apart a thoroughly disappointing trip up to the Black Country, and talk about whether Fulham's lack of heart and spirit is the fault of the management or the turmoil behind the scenes.
There's also a full discussion of what happens next after what we're now calling 'Klinegate' and a defence of how analytics can work if they're wielded in conjunction with real footballing knowledge, and by the right personnel.
As always, there's time for your questions and we try and give a full round-up and analysis of the events that have rocked the FFC world.

Fulham fans were treated to a Halloween horror show last night as Bristol City showed Fulham a trick or two at the Cottage last night.
In this podcast we discuss all the fallout from the 2-0 defeat, including a failed tactical experiment from Slavisa.
Also on the agenda is a Wolves preview with Sam Cook from The 77 Podcast and a discussion about the sudden departure Craig Kline, a move which seems aptly shrouded in suspicion.

Tom Cairney was the hero of the hour as Fulham scored another late goal to salvage a late point against bottom-of-the-table Bolton Wanderers, but it was a point which has led to major concerns across the Fulham fanbase.
The Fulhamish boys dissect the game, consider if we're playing all of our players in the right positions, and ultimately try and work out where Fulham go next if the Whites are to move forwards from the current situation.
There's also time for a discussion of Tom Cairney's slightly worrying post-match interview, as well as a breakdown as to how we're going to try and outgun two promotion chasing rivals over the next couple of days.
We also open the postbag to discuss Fulham's goalkeeper situation, think about how we can fit all of our best players in the right formation, and address whether you can get promoted from the Championship without playing physical, ugly football.

A worrying afternoon for Fulham on Saturday as we fall to our third defeat of the season at Villa Park including a stomach-churning goal from our old friend John Terry.
On tonight's podcast we look back at that defeat and ponder whether Slavisa's lack of plan B without Tom Cairney is really starting to cost this Fulham side. Rumours of discontent are starting to appear amongst fans, and we examine if there's any justification in those.
Moreover we preview the upcoming must-win game against struggling Bolton Wanderers, in which we all unanimously agree that nothing less than three points is satisfactory. Going back to John Terry, we also discuss the players that Fulham fans have loved to hate down the years.
As ever, there’s time for your questions and insights into the goings on at Fulham FC.

Denis did it at the death as Fulham rescued a late, but deserved point against Preston North End, after a torrid first half which saw the Whites seriously outside their comfort zone for the first time in a long while.
We discuss the ins and outs of the game, including the strangely off-colour performances from both Stefan Johansen and Oliver Norwood over recent times; and the way in which Preston managed to dominate Fulham tactically for around 65 minutes.
Whilst the Whites' home form continues to stagnate, the away form remains steady, and with a big trip to Villa Park in the offing, we take an insightful gaze into what the Villans will provide in opposition, and how Fulham can take the claret-and-blues apart.
As ever, there's time for your questions and insights into the goings on at Fulham FC, and we talk about how much James McClean hates the Queen to finish things off.

Fulhamish are back with a special preview episode to sate your Fulham needs after a long international hiatus for the Whites.
Sammy, Jack and Dom dissected the upcoming games in October, looking forward at what could be a tricky month for Fulham; as well as assessing how our International Whites got on for their respective nations this week - ultimately coming to the damning conclusion that there could be zero Fulham players at next summer’s World Cup in Russia.
There was, as always, time for your questions, including an exciting discussion of upcoming away games and whether KMac is a better fit for the captaincy than missing talisman Tom Cairney.
All this and more on this special extra episode of Fulhamish!

What a difference a week mates. Two wins in consecutive games give Fulham a huge boost going into the international break and in this podcast we look back at those victories. Both the QPR and Forest games certainly had their talking points. Another penalty missed against Rangers, a big performance from Aboubakar Kamara at the City Ground and King Stefan Johansen's excellent knack of scoring important goals. In tonight's podcast we also took the time to do a Quarter Season Review. All the team gave a grade and then their explanation behind their marking. Then at the end we answered your questions.

Another week, another late goal. Tonight the Fulhamish boys gathered to discuss yet more points dropped at Craven Cottage, as Fulham and Middlesbrough played out an entertaining 1-1 draw. We discuss the impact of the much-improved Aboubakar Kamara and ask what more Slav can do more to help the team see out tight matches. Also we preview our two upcoming away trips to Nottingham Forest and QPR, plus we ask which Fulham players you've ever written off only to be proved wrong later on.

There was much to discuss in this week's episode, as we dissected a disappointing afternoon in the Staffordshire, where our meeting with the Brewers threw up more than its fair share of discussion points. We also took apart our first home win of the season, which came about on Wednesday night against Hull, before (kind of) looking forward to our meeting with newly-relegated, free-scoring Middlesbrough on Saturday at the Cottage. We talk through the apparent injury crisis plaguing our attacking forces, and consider whether what we're missing most is the playmaking of Tom Cairney, or the striking nous of Rui Fonte.

Poetically, as one listener put it, it was a penalty that put the final nail in Fulham's promotion push - and we're maybe just thankful that it wasn't us missing one for oncePoetically, as one listener put it, it was a penalty that put the final nail in Fulham's promotion push - and we're maybe just thankful that it wasn't us missing one for once, because we probably wouldn't have been able to cope with the stress. We dissect the game at the Madejski and then look at what Fulham need to do to mount an assault on the automatic spots next year, to try and find some positivity in a dark place. The pod takes a turn for the better when the legendary Pete Donaldson (of Ramble fame) takes pity on the boys and delivers some pizzas.

A stormy encounter at Craven Cottage has left Fulham and Reading's two-legged tie on a knife edge - 90 minutes and a stubborn Reading side now stand between the Whites and a day out at Wembley. There's plenty to discuss about Saturday evening's game, from some controversial refereeing decisions by Stuart Atwell (enemy of the pod) to periods of genuinely unbelievable time wasting from Jaap Stam's side. We look at it all through the black and white lens, as well as getting The Tilehurst End on the phone to get the opposite perspective. There's also the preview of tomorrow night's game to get through, looking at Reading's astounding home record and what Fulham need to do to break that down in perhaps the most crucial game in Whites' history since that night in Hamburg. As ever, there's time for your questions and thoughts at the end of the pod.

A point at home at Brentford appeared to be good enough as Fulham all but booked their spot in the playoffs for this year, although the penalty curse struck again at Craven Cottage. There's plenty to be optimistic about though, as not only do we give a full analysis on yet another game that Fulham dominated, and quietly look ahead to the probable dates and definite rules that will define the playoff campaign.

Fulham finally hopped into the playoff spots this weekend through a little bit of Aluko ‘magic’ and a helping hand from our friend Angus MacDonald of Barnsley. The boys talk the Rotherham game and what it might mean for the rest of the season to be in the actual playoff spots with seven games to go. There’s a conversation with Owls fan Chris Holt of the Sheffield Star to get the ‘behind enemy lines’ view, and we also address the tricky fixtures coming up against Derby County away (sans Chris Martin) and Ipswich, the league’s draw specialists, at home. We wrap it up with three brilliant listener questions and a discussion of Jack’s new ‘London Irish Whites’ flag, which causes nearly as much studio debate as the idea that Aston Villa are not yet out of the playoff race.

In a week which must go down as one of the most frustrating in Fulham’s history, the Whites gained only one point from a possible six in home games against struggling Blackburn Rovers and Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Fulhamish boys talk through the low points, dissect the problems encountered in both of the fixtures, and wonder if this International Break could spark an upturn in form alike to that in late 2016.

Tom Cairney’s thunderbolt against Leeds was just one of the highlights of what could turn out to be a pivotal week in Fulham’s season, as a last-gasp point on Tuesday night was eclipsed by an away domination of league leaders Newcastle United.

As usual, there were ups and downs this week for Fulham fans, as a wonderful Valentine’s Day win against Nottingham Forest was slightly dampened by the tactical masterclass that we were given against Spurs. In fact, some would say that in the tactical battle, Slavisa was comprehensively checkmated by Mauricio Pochettino, and Scott Malone had his legs twisted inside-out by the masterful Christian Eriksen, who taught the Fulham left-back a lesson he won’t be forgetting any time soon. That said, Slavisa got things spot on against Nottingham Forest, where his substitutions proved to be a match-winning stroke to replicate the 3-2 home win from the weekend before against Wigan. There was also previews of big games this week against Cardiff and Bristol City on the road, as the Whites look to put together a meaningful winning run in the Championship. Plus, we answer a variety of your questions as we get on to the issues and thoughts surrounding the Club right now, starting with how we feel the squad is set up for a promotion attempt, and what the pros and cons of staying in this division might be.

Fulham left it late to record a much-needed win over Wigan with a last minute winner from Neeskens Kebano, recently returned from the African Cup of Nations. The three points were much needed, and with a few teams above the Whites slipping up, keeps Fulham adrift but in the hunt for a playoff place. There’s a guest appearance from author and comedian John O’Farrell, who joins the boys to talk all things FFC. His book, There’s Only Two David Beckham’s, was one of the bestselling football books of last year, and has a number of Whites anecdotes for the discerning supporter. There’s also room to talk about the Nottingham Forest game and the return of Ross McCormack, the Spurs game in the 5th Round of the FA Cup next weekend, and some of your favourite Fulham FA Cup memories.

Fulham had a mixed week to close out January, where a dismal league blip to Reading was almost forgotten about with a wonderful FA Cup scalp of Hull. We took apart the positives from the cup win, and the seeming fatigue displayed in Berkshire, as well as the return of #Chrexit, and some of the transfer news around the club. In the middle, we took ten minutes out to watch the live 5th Round FA Cup draw, and then discussed the potential implications of playing Spurs at the Cottage. Ben’s exclamation over the draw gained a lot of traction, and we discussed the possibility of four of England’s finest young full backs being on the pitch at the same time. Could the young apprentices Fredericks & Sessegnon get one over the current masters of Walker & Rose?

There’s also time for a discussion about the Chris Martin ‘Chrexit’ situation and his U-turn, and how it didn’t quite happen for Jozabed in his short time at the Cottage.
