On Saturday, Fulham face the Cherries of Bournemouth, a side who we don't have a very good record against. Can we finally get a win over the south coast side at home? It would certainly come at a good time if so, with many FFC fans nervously looking over their shoulder at the relegation scrap. In today's podcast, Peter rejoins us to look at the game plus also a broader look at the transfer window. Only one signing made, but what does the future hold? Does the fact we held off going for Andre...

Will Fulham ever win at Turf Moor again? After Saturday's performance, where the Whites somehow contrived to throw away a two-goal lead against the Clarets, succumbing to a late hammer blow that turned three points into one, we're really not sure.

Tuesday night was a strange one in many ways - we maybe should have won, we probably could have lost, our main striker limped off injured, and the profligacy issues continued to rear their ugly head. We try to pick through the bones of it, and project where that leaves Fulham going forward. Onwards, then, to Turf Moor; where Fulham haven't actually won since 1951. Yeah, you read that right. We ended the Goodison curse last year, but can we go one better in Lancashire? Before that there's...

Saturday night was a difficult one for everyone involved with Fulham. Not only was the team on the wrong side of a 2-0 defeat to Newcastle, but there was remarkable scenes off the pitch. The unorganised boycott by certain fans ended up in a bizarre series of comments and statements on live television, which was met with indignation by many fans on social media. On this podcast, we analyse everything that's happening in the ongoing fued between fans and the club, and if there is ever going to...

Nights like Wednesday don't come along very often. We witnessed an atmosphere and occasion for the ages, but sadly not a result. Fulham missed the chance to secure a historic EFL Cup final at Wembley after drawing 1-1 on the night, but losing by the odd goal in five on aggregate. We look back at how the team struggled in the early stages but rallied in the second half to make it a real contest at the death. We analyse Silva's tactics and substitutions, and ponder all the 'what ifs' from the...

Kit Symons has done it all with Fulham.

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...

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.

The team analyse the game (as best they can), look ahead to Wednesday, and answer some of your questions.  00:00 - Rotherham review 23:42...

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.

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...
