Fulhamish

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 ro...

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 Stadi...

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 offs...

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 pro...

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...

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 re...

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 manage...

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 cau...

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 nig...

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 a...

Was a nice weekend without football wasn't it? Anyway, on Tuesday we are back in action against Brighton at Craven Cottage, as we look to claim crucial points that might spark a Premier League revival. In this podcast we speak to Ady from Albion Roar, to get a Seagulls perspective on Tuesday's match.  We follow that by playing you the latest edition of the Fulhamish Stats Show with Ben Jarman, Geo...

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....

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 a...

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...

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 t...

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...

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 -  Ca...

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 -...

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 sho...

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 fo...

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...

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 opposit...

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? -...

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...

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 cam...
