Fulham Focus

Last minute hammerIngs for us! And while there's major disappointment there are lots of positives to take to propel us into a busy week of Preston North End and Newcastle United. Join Cottage Tactico, Luke Sergeant and Jmac as we talk about it all.

Following our last podcast with football writer Martin Calladine about Fulham Football Club's new partnership with CFD trading outfit IUX (Part 1 available via the link below), Martin returns to give us an update on his investigation, which finds more concerns about IUX.

On Tuesday (3rd September), Fulham Football Club announced IUX as the Club’s Official CFD Trading Partner. New partnerships are positive, but we have been here before. Football writer Martin Calladine looked into Fulham's 2022 deal with our previous CFD partner, Titan Capital Markets, and found it fraudulent. That deal lasted six weeks, and Martin's research into IUX has found some red flags. We are delighted to welcome Martin onto Fulham Focus to discuss our club's issues with CFDs and their questionable sponsorship due diligence.

This week, Kish, Sam and Boney dissect the draw at Portman Road against Kieran McKenna's lively Ipswich Town side and the tactical conundrum that is our midfield. The team also looks back over Fulham FC's transfer window and sees what picture emerges from Marco Silva's new puzzle pieces.

Join Jmac, Sarge and Wiggo as we look back on foxes, sing about the blues and march on to Ipswich this weekend. We also delve into how many different ways one can say 'Tractor Boys', our favourable cup draws and possible transfers as deadline day looms.

From Reds to Leicester with no port available for this one. Join Boney, Jmac and debutant James as we discuss matches past and future. We also take a very strong gander into transfers presently with the arrival of two very familiar (one more so) Nords.

As the 2024/25 Premier League season kicks off with an odd Friday evening visit to Old Trafford, Kish, Sarge, and Boney take a look at our new signings, how the new look Fulham team could shape up against United and delve into where our gaps need to be filled and by who. The team also make some reasonable wild stabs in the traditional start-of-season predictions. Fulham in the Premier League, here we go!

The prodigal son returns! And a welcome return from us all at Fulham Focus to talk about the latest transfer news as gossip over the last 3 days have spiced up significantly for 3 specific players. Join Jmac, Boney and Cottage Tactico as they talk transfers, departures, awful jokes and terrible pronunciations.

As the curtain comes down on another Premier League campaign, the Focus team get together to discuss a season that started with sombreros at Everton, and ended with us sending the Hatters down as we doffed our caps to Tim Ream and Boa at Kenilworth Road. But what was Wiggo's best away day? Who turned out to be Morgs' biggest disappointment? And just why did Dylan select a defeat as his best game of 2023-24?

Following Fulham's succumbing to the inevitable against Manchester City, Kish, and Jmac join Boney to break down our last home game of the season and look ahead to a summer of transfer fun.
