Fulhamish

Kit Symons has done it all with Fulham. He played in three divisions – and won two league titles – during his X years as a player, before returning as a scout, then a coach at various age levels in the academy, before eventually being handed the manager’s job in 2014. 

Sammy and Drew sat down with Kit to talk about those heady years during our rise under Mohamed Al Fayed and discuss his time in management – what went right, what went wrong, and what he thought of his various academy graduates who made varying levels of impact during his 18-month tenure.

Fulham travelled the short 1.9 miles to Chelsea in the SW6 Derby on Saturday, only to come out on the wrong side of a 1-0 defeat which hinged on two big decisions - a bad tackle and a penalty call.

In all honesty, it was a pretty dreadful game of football, with neither side leaving any sort of real mark on it, but still the Bridge curse continues and the wait for a win at a ground originally built for FFC goes on.

We break down the game, and then answer a load of your questions about Sasa Lukic, Adama Traore, domestic loans, tactical systems and more

On Wednesday, the Whites headed to Anfield for a historic semi-final first leg in the Carabao Cup, and ultimately we came away with a narrow defeat that many people would have taken before kick-off. However, in the circumstances, was it a missed opportunity for Fulham? In today's pod, we review the match, including Willian's brilliant opener, our big missed opportunities and the quick Liverpool turnaround that ultimately defined the result.

Also, we look ahead to Saturday's SW6 derby at Stamford Bridge. Is this the time where FFC finally end 44 years of pain at our nearest neighbours?

It may have been a boring game, however Fulham secured their place in the fourth round of the FA Cup with a one-nil victory - thanks to a sweetly-struck long range effort from Bobby De Cordova-Reid. Whilst the game itself was turgid, arguably it was exactly what the doctor ordered ahead of Fulham's semi final clash againt Liverpool at Anfield on Wednesday. The team analyse the game (as best they can), look ahead to Wednesday, and answer some of your questions.

A big few weeks awaits for Fulham, as we take on both Rotherham United in the FA Cup and then Liverpool in the Carabao Cup semi-final, in this podcast we preview both games, and how the line-up on Friday could be a precursor to what Silva goes for at Anfield.

Also in this episode we look in a bit more details at Sunday’s win over Arsenal, as Fulham finally break the top four hoodoo, and we answer some of your emails on Sasa Lukic, Joao Palhinha’s January value and look at just how many signings the team predict will arrive this month.

Fulham ended the year on the most perfect possible note, not just beating Arsenal 2-1 at Craven Cottage, but fully deserving those three points as well. Marco Silva's Whites outfought, outhought and outplayed their illustrious visitors, who would have gone top of the Premier League with a win.

We break down a remarkable performance from Fulham, where almost every single player could have been eligible for a Man of the Match award, talk about Silva's tactical acumen, and answer a host of your questions as we head into 2024.

It's the most magical time of the year, but it's been a big bump back to earth for Fulham. Somehow we've followed up two 5-0 wins by conceding 8 goals in the Premier League without reply. The Boxing Day defeat to Bournemouth was one of our worst of the season, and in this episode we take a look at what exactly has lead to this sudden downturn in form. Also, we preview Arsenal on New Year's Eve, can we put in a performance against the title chasing gunners? Plus, we take more of a look at those FST's club meeting notes.

It's Christmas, and we're still 13th in the league going into Christmas, so let's not be too negative, but losing to Burnley at home is never nice.

What an incredible night that was, as Fulham make history and go through to the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup for the first ever time. Unbelievable tension as the Whites win a penalty shoot-out from the jaws of defeat, Andre Onana will forever get a warm reception at Craven Cottage.

In today's epsiode we debrief from everything that happened on Tuesday, as Marco Silva once again breaks boundaries with this incredible Fulham team.

Also, we preview Saturday's trip to Burnley, ask whether a cup run will help us keep Joao Palhinha and Gerry rounds off the pod with a wonderful email.

Just as things started to go our way, we crashed back down to reality with a bump. Newcastle seemed there for the taking: ravished by injuries and fatigued from a gruelling Champions League-laden fixture schedule. Fulham, on the other hand were free scoring and boosted by the return to form of our Mexican striker Raúl Jimiénez. However, after deciding to leap like a salmon and nearly knock Longstaff out cold with his backside, Raúl earned a red after 30 minutes, and it was curtains. We look back on the afternoon on Tyneside, answer some of your questions, and look ahead to our Carabao Cup quarter final against Everton on Tuesday night.
