After Raul Jimenez struck twice at the Stadium of Light on Sunday, Fulham fans are ending February by looking up the league table.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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Only reigning champions Liverpool have managed to flee the Stadium of Light with three points this season so can Fulham spring a surprise to become the second?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.
Has a game every screamed apathy as much as Fulham's limp defeat at Manchester City in midweek?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.Be sure to like, subscribe, and leave us a review wherever you get your pods for more Fulham Focus content.

They say football is a game of two halves - so which half of Fulham versus Everton should we read into for the rest of the season?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.
Fulham have the opportunity this weekend to right one of the season’s wrongs by making up for a total no-show at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.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?

Eventful at Old Trafford. Too eventful! But uneventful on Deadline Day. Too uneventful?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?All that and your Manchester United review on this latest edition of Fulham Focus! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Pep Guardiola couldn’t. Neither could Mikel Arteta.

Lost for words when it comes to Harry Wilson?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.
After a traitorous trip to Leeds, the Fulham faithful were in need of a pick-me-up this week - and, momentarily, some big-money transfer rumours seemed to do just that.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.

After a 10-hour round trip that almost didn't even see them get into the game, it's fair to say some of the Focus gang were ready for a rant.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.
After progress in the FA Cup and the glory of defeating Chelsea, Fulham are back on their travels this weekend.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.

Oh yes!! How good does that one feel!?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.

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.
