Fulham Focus

Let's take a trip down memory lane to 2023-24. Bobby De Cordova-Reid is playing anywhere and everywhere and still popping up with goals. Andreas Pereira is a relentless nuisance. And Joao Palhinha is as deadly in the box as he is in the tackle.The upshot is four points from our two games against an Arsenal side, who ended up losing out on the Premier League title to Manchester City by just two pointsSo could Fulham shoot down the Gunners again when we go to the Emirates on Saturday evening?Join Sam and Kish as they discuss such a prospect with Arsenal fan and friend of the pod, Archie Gaskin.Are our opponents really bottling it?Has Mikel Arteta's 'pragmatic' football helped or hindered the hosts?Will being sandwiched between Champions League semi-finals against Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid help our cause?And who are the Arsenal dangermen who could yet step up to hurt us?All that and more in this Fulham Focus Preview. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Make no mistake, it's been pretty drab lately.Fulham haven't scored in five of the last six games, and the only teams that we have netted against since the start of March are relegation fodder like Burnley and Tottenham.So, after the uneventful 0-0 draw at Brentford, what better than another Saturday lunchtime clash against Champions League-chasing Aston Villa?Join Sam and Kish as they try to work out who in this Fulham squad could possibly get us firing in front of goal again, let alone winning.They also discuss Villa's season, Unai Emery's reputation, and whether Morgan Rogers can continue to mug off xG with Dan Lambert from the Villa Park Podcast.And as silly season approaches, they reflect on the managerial merry-go-round and which of a former Brentford boss (Frank) and a former Chelsea boss (Rosenior) would be more welcome in the Craven Cottage dugout next season if there were to be a vacancy.All that and more in your home to Aston Villa preview.

Just under a year ago, your exhausted but exhilarated hosts stumbled out of a suspiciously Lego-looking stadium together with their faith in Fulham and football restored.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 JohnstonHow 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...

Did that international break feel endless to anyone else?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.

Burnley fans seem pretty convinced that their season is over. But is Fulham’s?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).

Ouch. Everything was looking up just a week ago! And now two frankly baffling losses later Fulham fans are wondering if our season is already over characteristically earlySo 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!

Our opponents on Sunday afternoon have not registered a Premier League win in 2026So 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 CottageThey 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 All that and more on this Fulham Focus preview pod! 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.

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.

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.

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?

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.
