Fulhamish

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 Cahill be sensible? Finally, we delve into your questions as always.

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

-  Cairney's influence in the middle

-  Penalty-gate and Kamara's future

-  The booing of your own players

-  Mitrovic's ice-cool finish

-  Sessegnon's role

Before we look ahead to the Arsenal game and answer a stack of questions about the topsy-turvy world of supporting Fulham.

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

- Sluggish start and lucky Denis

- Mitro's profligacy in front of goal

- Sess' impact and Schurrle's struggles

- No back-to-back clean sheets

- Defensive improvements with five

We had a look at where the impending Terriers game could be won or lost and discussed how we'd set up, as well as answering a stack full of your questions from a bulging Christmas postbag!

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 should have actually won it in the dying minutes.

There's also a good debate about whether AK47's best role is as an impact sub, before we then look at the relegation battle as a whole, and discuss the upcoming Boxing Day game against Wolves at Craven Cottage.

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.

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 FFC.

We discussed:

- Fulham's wastefulness in front of goal.

- How difficult we're making it for ourselves.

- Lacklustre defending all round.

- A dire second half.

Then, we took the discussion to the next level on where we go from here:

- January options

- Lack of leaders on the pitch

- How lucky we are to be still in touch

- Who plays against Newcastle

There's, as ever, time for questions, where we talk outrageous ticket prices in far more detail.

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 opposition camp. Dan Lawless from West Ham Fan TV gave us the lowdown on the Hammers, and he's predicting a narrow Hammers victory with plenty of goals.

Finally, we spoke to former Whites captain Lee Clark, as featured first on our Love Sport Radio show, which you can listen to every Wednesday between 8.30-10pm.

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?

- Were there any positives?

Before looking back at Leicester at the Cottage:

- Brighter start, brighter game

- Still silly mistakes

- What's the best back four?

- Just how crucial is Calum Chambers?

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 speak about the threat the Foxes may pose, and whether the sideshow of Ranieri facing another former team will have an effect on the occasion.

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 camp, as Jack speaks to NiiNii FC of Blue Lions TV; and to round things off Dom and the boys interviewed Barry Hayles on our LoveSport radio show, talking about why Fulham were better last weekend and how they can move forward.
