But fear not as Kish has got Dylan and Wiggo with him to ensure our hour or so breaking down Brentford 0-0 Fulham is comfortably more entertaining than anything we saw at the G-Tech

So join them as they tackle the big questions like:

Was that Bernd Leno’s best save yet?

Have TC and Lukic earned starting status for the rest of the season?

Despite Andersen and Castagne’s best efforts has Marco Silva rediscovered some solidity?

And will Fulham ever score a goal again?

All that, some deserved Paul Tierney and Brentford slander and some early shouts for potential managerial replacements if Marco is indeed off in this edition of Fulham Focus

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Fast forward to 2026 and the stage is set again - but can our Welsh wizard, club captain and the rest of the boys repeat the trick one more time?

Join Sam and Kish as they look ahead to a West London Derby against a Bees side still buzzing annoyingly around the European qualification spots with help from opposition fan and host of the Ealing Road podcast, Mike Johnston

How badly does Harry Wilson haunt Brentford dreams?

Why is Michael Kayode so much more than a long throw merchant?

Is Keith Andrews actually any good?

And has Marco Silva learnt the necessary lessons from our last few games to get a big result here?

All that and much more on this controversial Fulham Focus preview pod in which we fraternise with the enemy...

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Yet as soon as the team news dropped at 4.15pm, many visiting supporters felt the writing was on the wall.

Is Antonee Robinson capable of ever recapturing his best form?

Does the midfield have any bite without Sasa Lukic?

With Oscar Bobb and Josh King starting, was it literally men against boys?

Sam is joined by a dispirited Dylan and a sweary Tristan as they discuss a game that was up before it even began, while there's also the first examination of Fulham's finances after the club announced their latest figures.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

After a long hiatus Fulham are BACK and even if the time off only increased our managerial anxiety and FA Cup heartache, we have a chance this Saturday to achieve the rarest of things - a win against Liverpool at Anfield!

With the Reds out of sorts, out of form and maybe distracted by trying to stop PSG turfing them out of the Champions League, could the Whites do it?

Will Marco Silva win the tactical battle against a beleaguered Arne Slot?

With Kenny Tete out, should we reshuffle the pack to keep Liverpool quiet?

And who wants to step up and unleash their inner Harrison Reed by becoming an unlikely hero?

To discuss all that and much more, Kish is joined by Morgs and Guy Drinkel from Anfield Index to provide your essential preview of Liverpool versus Fulham.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

And by the time Joachim Andersen switched off to see us fall 1-0 behind on the hour mark, the sleepy apathy among fans had turned into active anger.

But up stepped Josh King, Harry Wilson and Raul Jimenez to reignite our European ambitions and send us happily into the international break .

So which performance in this game of two halves was the ‘real Fulham’?

And have we learnt some important lessons about which players can be trusted to see us through the end-of-season run-in?

Join Sam, Kish and Sarge as they attempt to work it all out while also discussing what on earth has happened to the Ricardo Pepi deal.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

After three games without either a win or goal, the Whites surely need a statement victory to ensure the business end of the campaign remains interesting. 

They have seemingly signed a striker at the very least - but Ricardo Pepi won't be able to help the scoring situation until August.

So does Marco Silva have a plan that will stop this game from being the dull ‘last on Match of the Day’ non-event that so many of us expect?

Join Sam and Kish as they try to work it all out while also offering a safe space to Burnley ‘Fanalyst’ Lee Cologne, who is currently enduring the authentic Scott Parker Premier League Experience (TM).

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Pride, for staters. And after a couple of horrible showings, Marco and the boys will want to prove that they're not 'on the beach' just yet.

But travelling up to a Nottingham Forest side battling the drop, we're going to have to find the grit and cutting edge that has been missing of late.

The question is will we? And who should we put our faith in to get us back on track?

Or is the pull of a familiar end-of-season malaise and the banter timeline of relegating Tottenham just too much to resist?

Join Sam and Kish as they break down a Sunday afternoon by the Trent with the help of Forest fan and Forza Garibaldi co-founder Greg Mitchell.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

So Kish and Boney are ready to have the chat that is raging online. Are you #MarcoIn or #MarcoOut?

Was the manager's selection and slow substitutions to blame for our FA Cup exit?

With all the focus on his future are the likes of Joachim Andersen and Emile Smith Rowe getting a free pass?

And since when is the barometer for a good season at Fulham qualifying for Europe and/or winning a Cup?

Much like Producer Don (who drops in as they chat!) let us know what you think and be sure to give us a review wherever you get your podcasts!

So what should we expect from another fast-approaching London derby against West Ham?

In part one of this Fulham Focus double episode, Sam and Kish are joined by Wiggo to salute Issa Diop, Alex Iwobi and Harry Wilson before asking if Joao Palhinha might yet return to his Cottage for a cheeky European tour next season.

And then in the second half, James Obern from 'The West Ham Way’ is on hand to break down where the Hammers might hope to do better than fellow relegation strugglers Tottenham on Wednesday.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

So is this a perfect opportunity to do the double over Spurs and crack on with our reinvigorated European push?

Or will Dr. Fulham strike again and offer our North London rivals some much needed respite?

Join Sam and Kish as they catch up with Spurs fan and podcaster from 'An Echo Of Glory' James Robbins to preview this capital clash at the Cottage

They share some not so kind words about Thomas Frank, try and work out what challenges Igor Tudor's Spurs might pose Marco Silva's set up in this one and check in on Tottenham fan feeling for former Fulham favourite Joao Palhinha

But if we had a pound coin for every time we had done that this season, then the Sunderland stewards would be very rich indeed.

So will March be the month where the season starts to make sense, and can the Cottagers follow up their double against the Black Cats by beating Tottenham, West Ham, Nottingham Forest and Burnley for a second time?

Join Sam, Dylan and Don as they discuss Raul's penalty prowess, the unfortunate timing of a crocked Kevin, and whether you actually have to dust off a passport for it to be accepted at European airports.

Or would getting out of the cauldron with a point be a good result?

Join Sam and Kish as they break down our Sunday afternoon in the North East with Sunderland fan and football writer Ethan Todd, and ask the pertinent questions:

After a decent showing away at another red-and-white-striped opponent in Stoke City, have the likes of Kevin, Harrison Reed and Oscar Bobb earned themselves a start in this one?

How scared should we be of Mr Brobbey?

And how much faith should we put in Tony Khan's recent comments regarding the future of Marco Silva?

All that and more in this week's Fulham Focus Preview Pod.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this review, Sam takes aim at Sam Matterface, Sarge takes aim at Sander Berge, Kish takes aim at people overreacting online, and then all three of the gang take aim at VAR and Phil Foden when they finally force themselves to engage with this match.

And once that dreariness is out of the way, it's full focus on the FA Cup as they ask whether Fulham can do it on a rainy afternoon in Stoke to give us something to dream of in the end-of-season run-in.

The technical, creative excellence of the first, when only poor finishing and bad luck prevented us from being out of sight?

Or the total bottling that followed the break, in which our opponents physicality made the usual suspects in the Fulham side look far too weak?

So join Kish and Matt for another much-needed therapy session, and then stay as they attempt to cheer themselves up by discussing a midweek trip to to the Etihad Stadium with Manchester City fan, writer and podcaster Bailey Wynne, who also provides the ultimate guide to new boy Oscar Bobb.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

And - even without deadline day signings - Marco Silva has plenty of options to choose from.

Will an out-of-sorts Jedi be benched? Is it time for Calvin Bassey and Kenny Tete to return? Does Kevin’s worldie earn him a start? And what about Oscar Bobb?

Join Sam and Kish as they try to work out the blueprint for breaking down an Everton side which David Moyes lined up with four centre-backs last time out.

And helping them make sense of it all throughout is Toffees fan, tactical analyst, producer and content creator Cai Jones.

Join Sam, Kish and Dylan as they try to work out if the signing of Oscar Bobb is enough to keep Fulham's European push on track - and, perhaps more significantly, whether it is enough to keep Marco Silva at the club next season?

Plus:

Will the club return for the chosen one, Ricardo Pepi in the summer?

With no central midfielder recruited, would an injury to a revived Sander Berge spell disaster?

And will Kish actually be allowed to say anything now that he's back on a more familiar outlet?

Join Sam and Kish as they ponder the route for Marco’s men to another big away victory at Old Trafford on Sunday. 

Should we go four or five at the back? Can we contain a devilish-looking opposition frontline? And who will step into Adama’s shoes to have a fight with Lisandro Martinez?

United fan and Football Manager writer Ashton Hill is also on hand to give us the lowdown on our opponent’s newfound confidence under Michael Carrick.

And there’s plenty of transfer talk too with the Whites ready to welcome Oscar Bobb.

Listen as Sam, Kish and Wiggo try to find some which accurately sum up his latest piece of magic.

And after waxing lyrical about our Welsh wizard, the gang then answer the more fundamental question: can Wilson and Fulham maintain their form to keep us dreaming of Europe?

Or were there performances in our latest burglary of Brighton that suggest trouble is just around the corner?

Meanwhile, with one week to go before the January transfer window closes, could the arrival of Oscar Bobb, Ricardo Pepi and the like set up a blockbuster end to the season?

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

But as Sam and Kish headed to the Focus turret to discuss Oscar Bobb, Arthur Atta, and the small matter of our game against Brighton, it all changed.

So how worried should we be at the suggestion Harry Wilson won’t sign a new contract until Marco Silva’s future is resolved?

And can we banish any concerns as we welcome back Calvin Bassey, Alex Iwobi and Samuel Chukwueze to take on the Seagulls?

Discover all that and more in this edition of Fulham Focus as we preview Saturday's match with Joe from Albion Obsessed.

But after Lucas Nmecha's late winner and a Fulham performance that barely got started, maybe it would have been better if issues with the digital tickets hadn't been resolved.

Join Sam and Tristan after a horrible trip to Elland Road as they review what went wrong for Marco Silva's men with Kish, who took in the shambles from a safe distance outside of Yorkshire.

They discuss a Jedi lacking the force, a game lacking any discernible highlights, and a Fulham side lacking any way of making things happen regardless of their formation.

In need of some pod therapy after a poor game and a poor transfer window so far? This one is for you!

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

But can Marco Silva's depleted squad extend that unbeaten run against the giants that make up a rejuvenated Leeds United, and at the cauldron that is Elland Road?

And with the Whites once again looking susceptible at set-plays, who will step up to take charge against Daniel Farke's side of six footers?

Sam is joined by Adam Elliott from All Stats Aren't We to hear how the hosts have turned their season around, and then pairs up with Kish to discuss which of Issa Diop, Tom Cairney, Harry Wilson and Kevin can inspire the Cottagers to a first double of the season.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Join Kish, Tristan and Dylan to bask in the glory of Wednesday night's derby delight.

They pay tribute to the heroic contributions that made it possible: Harry Wilson’s clutch winner, Raul Jimenez’s barnstorming performance, Bernd Leno’s quick-thinking, Tosin’s terrible defending, and Marc Cucurella’s total idiocy.

With his third victory over that lot in three years, our trio also ponder whether Marco Silva really is close to securing GOAT status in SW6.

And with things suddenly looking rather rosy in the league, they look ahead to a long journey along the road to Wembley, that starts against Middlesbrough this weekend and could end in FA Cup glory.

Join Sam and Sarge as they discuss TC's worldie, Cuenca's heinous head injury, Kenny's hamstring, January Transfer rumours and much more in another Fulham Focus double bill

So how has Marco Silva changed the vibe at Craven Cottage? Have we actually played well while getting the job done? And could the turnaround continue as we get ready to face recent nemesis Oliver Glasner and his Eagles?

Join us for another Fulham Focus double header as Kish discusses two London derbies; In part one, he is joined by Wiggo to make sense of Saturday's win at West Ham. And then in the second half (42:00), Sam is back and together they preview a New Year’s Day encounter at Selhurst Park with Tampa’s smartest Crystal Palace fan, analyst Pat Rosanio.

But can we repeat the trick and bag another three points at the London Stadium to make it a truly merry Christmas? 

In this festive Fulham Focus, Kish is joined by Luke to wrap up our Forest review and preview West Ham away. They discuss an improved defence, the impact of TC off the bench, Kevin’s progress, and Raul’s record-equalling penalty. 

And they talk to Dan Woffenden from the West Ham Way about the prospects of Nuno saving the Hammers from the drop, and whether Adama Traore really could be part of that mission.

So join Sam (live from a late-night Christmas party in Glasgow) and Kish (live from an evening at home with his cats) as they discuss a Craven Cottage clash under the lights, and attempt to answer questions such as have we finally learnt some lessons? How might Marco Silva solidify us at the back? And would another home loss leave us looking nervously over our shoulder?

There's also chat with football writer and Forest fan David Marples, who not only provides the lowdown on the differences between Nuno-ball, Ange-ball and Dyche-ball, but also tells the stories behind his recent induction into the 92 Club.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

But in our dodgy defending and poor game management, did Scott Parker's side show up some frailties that need correcting?

And with a midweek trip to St James's Park the only thing standing in our way of a Carabao Cup semi final, can we regroup without our AFCON stars to take a step closer to cup glory?

Kish breaks down all of that and more with the most vibey social media double act since Bassey and Iwobi: Dylan Chavasse and (Mr Fulham South Africa himself) James Preston

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The only trouble is it's a trip to Turf Moor that awaits, and that's a stadium the Whites haven't won at in 33 attempts since April 1951.

Nevertheless, Sam and Luke sit down to ponder whether a Christmas miracle really is possible, and wonder exactly what our trio of Super Eagles can offer before they depart for AFCON.

Meanwhile, teenage social media star Jacob Horsfall brings the Burnley perspective, explains how the hosts can be got at, and endears himself to the Focus gang by putting the boot into Scott Parker.

For some of Sunday‘s encounter it looked like it may finally be happing. But a combo of Samuel Chukwueze’s toenail, some questionable subs, and our trademark set-piece frailty struck.

So join Sam, Kish and Luke to get the latest Cottage capitulation to Oliver Glasner out of your system.

The gang lament our soft defending, marvel at Harry Wilson’s one-man Goal of the Season mission, salute the continued Emile Smith Rowe renaissance, and ponder if our season is at risk of being derailed by key AFCON departures.

So join them for a special Fulham Focus double bill to discuss the maddest of mad nights at the Cottage in recent years and work out what it means for our clash with Crystal Palace when we return there on Sunday.  

In Part 1, they’re joined by Stuart Lutes to decide if we should be more alarmed by Fulham’s defending or delighted by our attacking against Man City and wax lyrical about Samuel Chukwueze and Alex Iwobi

In Part 2 (42:50), Rich from ‘Eagle-Eyed Football’ gives us the lowdown on this weekend’s opponents as we try to work out if Marco Silva will finally find the blueprint to beating Oliver Glasner at the Cottage.

And with Pep’s City headed to the Cottage under the lights on Tuesday could more excitement be on the way?

Join Kish for a Fulham Focus quickfire double which is hopefully as enjoyable as Tete and Wilson at Spurs!

In part one, Matt and Morgan review a glorious and long overdue away win after Marco Silva outthought Thomas Frank early and the Fulham defence gritted it out late.

And in part two Bailey Wynne from the Sky Blue Times comes on to discuss how exactly the Whites might want to approach taking on a Man City side doing things rather differently this season

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

But with Marco Silva’s men on a one-game winning streak, and Thomas Frank’s Spurs wobbling after a painful North London derby, can we pile the pressure on?

Join Sam and Kish as they discuss this battle between a Fulham team who can’t win away and a Spurs side who can’t win at home. 

They also get the lowdown on all things Tottenham from ‘An Echo of Glory’ podcast contributor James Robbins, and wade into the growing culture war surrounding Joao Palhinha’s role in their team.

Join Sam, Kish and Tristan to celebrate Raul Jimenez's goal poacher instincts, Samuel Chukwueze's perfect cameo, Emile Smith Rowe's newfound running power, and a performance from Marco Silva's men that may get the confidence flowing once again in SW6.

Meanwhile, Kish gets his tactical hat on to examine why our midfield rejig in the second half against Sunderland paid dividends. Tristan gets his financial hat on to explain why Fulham are one of the clubs who have some work to do before the new SCR rules come in next season.

Well, with Rodrigo Muniz out until the New Year, our heartbroken Nigerian boys still jet lagged, Joachim Andersen recovering from Scott McTominay's overhead kick, Raul Jimenez still inexplicably playing for Mexico, and Marco Silva's future as unclear as ever, maybe it isn't?

Fulham return to Craven Cottage on Saturday in desperate need of a post-international break win against high-flying Sunderland - but in coming up against a newly-promoted side defying the odds while playing on the break under a tactically-flexible manager, the Whites could be forgiven for thinking they're coming up against themselves from 2022-23.

Sam and Kish are joined by Sunderland fan and journalist Ethan Todd to break down our battle with the Black Cats and to work out if either side can expect their fortunes to change as the Premier League heads into its busiest phase of the season.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

But with five losses in our last six games and the worst record in 2025 of any team yet to have sacked their manager, is he under pressure?

After a terrible opening 45 minutes, have we finally seen the back of the Berge-Lukic midfield pivot? 

Did we get an all too-brief glimpse of our best attacking line-up in the second half at the Hill Dickinson Stadium?

And for the first time in forever, is it frankly a relief to reach an international break?

Join Sam, Wiggo and Kish in your latest Fulham Focus podcast as they discuss all that while trying to work out whether it’s officially time to worry about a relegation dogfight.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Will Marco Silva continue his experiment with Alex Iwobi in midfield? 

Can Kenny Tete show Everton what they’re missing by locking down Jack Grealish?

And which flying wingers should Fulham deploy to get at David Moyes' limited full-backs?

Join Sam and Kish as they try to work all that out with Everton analyst Matt Smith, better known on X as @TacticallyMatt.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

And while Ryan Sessegnon was once again Wolves' hunter-in-chief, it was Alex Iwobi who stole the show in the deeper midfield role that his manager had suggested he couldn't play.

Sam is joined by Morgan and Don to dissect success in this six-pointer, while also discussing the Nigerian's increasing influence, Kevin's first PL start, and whether the club really can keep hold of the generational talent that is Own Goal.

We’ve all tried to forget last season’s 4-1 shocker at the Cottage, but as this game approaches the similarities are real and the flashbacks are traumatic. Surely Fulham wouldn't do that again? 

Join Sam and Kish as they try to work out how we can come out on top in this relegation six-pointer, while also getting the lowdown from Wolves fan Harry Mansell on just what has gone wrong for our visitors this campaign.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

After hinting at at unlikely result, Fulham threw it away at Newcastle on Saturday to succumb to a fourth successive defeat.

Error prone at the back and stagnant in attack, is our place just outside of the relegation zone more than just a case of tough fixtures and injuries conspiring against us? Are Marco Silva’s selection choices too stubborn to get us out of the mire? And with a cup tie before a must-win game with Wolves, who or what can change the tune?

Kish is joined by Tristan and Dylan in the aftermath of St James' Park heartbreak to discuss all this and much more.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

But who is actually fit enough to take on Anthony Gordon, Nick Woltemade and the rest of the Toon Army?

Do we have a plan to combat their mighty central midfield?

And can we find a winger who isn't Adama Traore to have a run at stand-in left-back Dan Burn?

Sam and Kish endeavour to answer all the key questions ahead of the match with the help of analyst and Newcastle fan Meron, best known for his 'A Game of Two Halves' YouTube channel.

Once they had stopped fretting, the trio looked back on Saturday's narrow defeat to league leaders' Arsenal while lamenting modern football, saluting a second-string backline, and pondering Raul Jimenez's curious new role as a box-crashing central midfielder.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Well, there's our notoriously patchy form after international breaks, our blunt attack coming up against the best defence around, and our achilles heel potentially being exploited by Set Pieces FC.

But then again, is this not exactly the sort of fixture Marco Silva's men love to surprise us in?

Join Sam and Kish as they try to work if there is any reason to believe that we can leave our visitors in their happy place (second best) on Saturday night, with opposition insights on Mikel Arteta's men from Sky Sports statistician and Arsenal season ticket holder Paul.

Whilst some things in life are certain others take you by surprise. So why did our fanbase meltdown online after Fulham's late meltdown away at Bournemouth?

Did Marco Silva get it wrong in opting for a very conservative five at the back against the Cherries? Were the introductions of TC and Chukwueze perfect supersub deployment or a reminder of how much creativity and firepower we didn't call on from the start? And are we destined to never see Jonah Kusi-Asare?

With injuries, frustration and tricky fixtures piling up as we head into the international break join Kish, Dylan and James as they try and work out what our 3-1 defeat at the Vitality Stadium really tells us about the season ahead

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

But is a game against Andoni Iraola's punchy, pressing Bournemouth side the last thing we need right now?

Who can step up to offer some much needed creativity and firepower? With no Kenny Tete to keep tabs on Antoine Semenyo, can Marco Silva's men keep it tight at the back? And how on earth have our opponents thrown in key new recruits with no hesitation when we seem so reluctant to do the same?

Sam, Kish and Bournemouth fan James look to answer those questions (whilst also bonding over some shared Scott Parker slander) in this earlier than usual preview of our Friday night fixture.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

And so while our physios were being kept busy, it was no surprise that Doctor Fulham was helping to breathe new life into an Aston Villa side that previously had been unable to buy a goal.

Sam, Dylan and Alex sit down to discuss the centre-forward fiasco, our frailties to long ball football, and whether refereeing would be better if VAR was replaced by a random spin of the wheel.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Most opponents would be enthused at the prospect of adding to their woes. The only trouble is we have won just one league game at Villa Park in the past 52 years.

Sam, Kish and Holte End pessimist Jon sit down to discuss both clubs' campaigns so far, the respective concerns over creativity, and whether Sunday's game really is set up to be a goalless bore draw.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Along the way, the gang discuss Josh King's moment of madness, Iwobi's pass, Wilson's finish, the unstoppable goalscorer that is OG, another VAR official who has a problem with Rodrigo Muniz and the collective effort to head away endless long throws.

Plus, with Fulham starting to look upwards in the Premier League table (whilst Brentford look down), who will be tasked with keeping our first route to cup glory alive against Cambridge and will any of them break into this settled side soon?

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Can Fulham repeat the trick under the lights versus Brentford? Is it too much to ask for Harry Wilson to do it yet again? Can Kevin (Santos Lopes de Macedo) deliver like Kevin (Mbabu) once did? And will Brentford under Keith Andrews come back to the Cottage with the filthiest low block we’ve seen since Thomas Frank last year?

Join Sam and Kish as they answer all this and more with Sky Sports Statistician (and Brentford fan) James ‘Wheels’ Wheeler.

So join Sam, Morgan and Kish to wax lyrical about the man destined to keep us excited this season, leave us for a record fee in the summer and then win the Ballon d'Or.

And after regaining some composure they also try to make sense of a sluggish Fulham performance, ask if Marco Silva got away with one, and marvel at the most emphatic own goal anyone can remember.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sam is in the hotseat as we discuss the upcoming visit of Leeds United to Craven Cottage, ponder whether Marco Silva is ready to unleash Kevin, and stress out about some big lads who could hurt us at set-pieces (again).

And If that isn't enough, Kish gets to go full 'Tactico' breaking down Fulham versus Leeds with Adam from 'All Stats Aren't We'.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Join Sam, Wiggo and Kish as they vent on the farcical state of modern football, go over the incidents that derailed this weekend's West London Derby and ask if there is any way to rid VAR from the game once and for all.

Once they've got that off their chests there's also time to salute Josh King (who has many big moments still to come), Marco Silva (who finally mastered five at the back), and discuss whether some flying wingers and last ditch business on deadline day might cheer us all up.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sam is joined by the Cottage Tactico to discuss how Marco Silva's men can pull it off, who will be tasked with trying to score past a defence centred around a certain Tosin Adarabioyo, and whether our squad (subject to a few late big-money additions) could be better set for the Premier League campaign than we realised.

And in the most controversial booking since Chris Kavanagh was assigned our last fixture, the pair are joined by JK from The Chelsea Fancast to try and work out whether his team are actually very good, or if West Ham are just truly dreadful.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The gang also discuss whether big teams really do get the big decisions from VAR, Marco Silva’s slightly surprising switch to five at the back, and fan opinion on key players Alex Iwobi and Joachim Andersen.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Still, ahead of a return to Craven Cottage, Sam and Matt sit down to deliberate where the Whites can win this match. Is five at the back the answer? Can our midfield run the show? Is this a fixture for Andreas Pereira?

Meanwhile, Jamie from United Hour joins us to give the inside scoop on the Red Devils' hopes for the season, a new £200m forward line, and their same old shortcomings in goal.

Morgs and Wiggo are back from the Amex just in time to join Sam in saluting Rodrigo Muniz after his last gasp equaliser on the opening day, and to examine the outpouring of emotion that followed.

As well as Rodrigo's rollercoaster week, the gang also discuss an impressive showing from Josh King, Calvin Bassey's stand-in shift at left-back, and which Fulham player Wiggo took a Saturday morning stroll with along Brighton beach.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In the first of Fulham Focus' new match previews, Sam and Matt discuss the left-back quandary, consider whether we are more likely to see the third kit at the Amex than Rodrigo Muniz, and ponder if Josh King really will start the campaign in the number ten role.

Meanwhile Joe from Albion Obsessed joins us to provide some enlightening Brighton perspective ahead of the big kick-off.
