Fulhamish

Sammy and Jack are back in business in the studio, and there's plenty to sink our teeth into. We take a last look back at the frustrating draw with Everton and consider whether it's a lack of concentration or our inability to kill games off that is hurting Fulham the most right now. 

Then, we move things along to this weekend, where there's the small matter of a West London Derby against Brentford, under the lights at the Cottage on Monday night, for us to get excited and nervous about in equal measure. The Bees have had a strange season - unbeaten at home, losing every game away - and this feels like a pivotal moment in the campaign for both sides, as well as the local bragging rights being in the balance. 

There's some chat about the history of this fixture, debunking a myth about the Playoff final, some discussion of why it's a good thing to have a two-way rivalry, and our thoughts on how the game might pan out, before we finish with some questions. We meet Fulham's foremost fan in Fiji, Jack launches another passionate defence of Andreas Pereira, and we finish with a discussion about some of the most divisive players to have worn the White shirt in recent times.

We unpack Fulham’s 1-1 draw against Everton—a match that looked won until the very last moments. A 94th-minute equaliser from Beto that left the travelling FFC feeling deflated. We dissect the factors that led to that gut-wrenching finish including Marco Silva’s substitutions and whether hindered Fulham’s control over the game. We’ll also discuss Fulham’s lack of clinical edge in front of goal, a recurring theme that cost them precious points once again.

We also highlight the impressive display from Fulham's midfield, whose strong performance kept the team competitive throughout. We'll also talk about Emile Smith Rowe's dazzling run that set up Alex Iwobi’s goal and whether we should be aiming to sign a striker in January.

Sammy and Elizabeth reconvene to cast one last glance back to Fulham's 3-1 defeat against Aston Villa at the Cottage which saw the Whites pick up an unwanted hat-trick for the first time in Premier League history - missing a penalty, having a man sent off, and scoring an own goal, before turning their attention to the weekend's trip to Goodison Park - probably our last trip to the famous old ground to play Everton. 

Then in Part Two, it's time for the best part of Saturday's live show at the Half Moon Putney - the This'll Catch On special which always lights up the room with some of the best tunes sent into the podcast since the start of the season, vetted live by the brilliant folks who packed out the room.

Our unbeaten home record was never going to go on forever... right? We've live from the Half Moon Putney reviewing a 3-1 defeat to Aston Villa, a game which was not short of talking points. In part one, we make sense of the game that had it all: red cards, a missed penalty, goals, and a total lack of midfield control from Fulham.

In part two, we're joined by iconic Fulham bloggers, Jack and Loz, and we take a load of listener questions from the audience about this performance and the season so far.

The international break is over, and it was a pretty wild one for Fulham players - Harry Wilson shining for Wales, Raúl's resurgence for Mexico, Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey getting stuck in an airport, Andreas's exceptional scissor kick for Brazil, Sasa's sad injury blow, ups and downs for Sander Berge, and a delicious assist for Timmy Castagne. It's never quiet round SW6.

We look back at all that, before moving ahead with a discussion of Aston Villa's visit to the Cottage on Saturday, which will prove another tricky test against a Champions League calibre side, and then we round things off with a few questions, a look at the changes to the fixture schedule (and the parking situation at the Cottage), as well as a little quiz where Sammy tests Jack and Yasmin on the pricing for the new hospitality options in the Riverside stand.

It’s a slightly different Monday pod today for the international break. Sammy, Jack and Yasmin provide an overview of the Fulham academy’s progression in the 24/25 season.

They review the U21s’ recent success in their PL2 campaign under Hayden Mullins. They shine a light on the much anticipated players that are knocking on the door of the first team, including Luc de Fougerolles and Callum Osmond. And finally, we learn why Josh King reserves a grievance for Jack Kelly’s Nintendo skills.

It's not every day you go to the Etihad and outplay the Champions, and while we can all be proud of our performance, it makes it all the more frustrating to come away with nothing. We praise displays across the park and revel in the assist of the year from Raul Jimenez, and discuss concerns around the quality of our finishing.

In part two, we take more of a holistic look at Fulham's standard of performance under Marco Silva in recent weeks, and discuss our softness at the beginning of second halves. Finally, we enjoy the meetcute that happened across the away end at the Etihad.

The Thursday Club is back to analyse what's going on with Fulham, as the club sit prettily in the Top Six after six games in the Premier League. Alright, it's early, but we're gonna take these whilst we can. Peter Rutzler joins Sammy and Jack to examine whether we think Fulham have actually firmly hit their stride yet, and have a final look at an ugly, but impressive win over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. 

Then it's onwards to the weekend, and it's nothing major - only a trip to Manchester to face Champions Manchester City at the Etihad - a team that Fulham have lost to 16 times in a row. Could this be the moment, with Kevin de Bruyne and Rodri injured - that Fulham end our Cityzen nightmare? Maybe, but probably not. 

We finish with a couple of your emails, and an incredible This'll Catch On entry for Reiss Nelson from one of our favourite ever contributors.

Fulham have had many memorable trips to the City Ground in recent years - both good and bad. This game may not live long in the memory, but most importantly we came out with all three points, and we ended Nottingham Forest's unbeaten start to the season. We look back on a game with few chances which was mired in VAR controversy, and discuss key performances across the park.

We also take your listener questions, including on Andersen's player of the match performance, Lukic's tenacity, and our chances against the champions next weekend.
