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.

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!

Hosted by Jack Collins with guests Jack Kelly, Stephen Sheldrake & Marco De Novellis

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.

Hosted by George Cooper with guests Dan Cooke, Dom Betts and Isabelle Barker.

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.

Finally, we preview Saturday's trip to Wolves and answer some of your questions via email.
