Muniz would struggle to get into the Middlesbrough team again. Sadly, he’s not the smartest player on the pitch, he’s football skills is worse than Robinson, he’s like a school kid chasing around the pitch aimlessly and so sad to see the 6’8 German kid’s first touch in was better than Muniz the whole game. Leeds wanted him last season and we probably could have got £30m!! Should have taken the money before they went and bought the Everton striker! It only!!

Owen, if you stop posting I will stop as well, as you, Craven, LTS, MST, and just a couple of others, are the only sensible posters on here. We have already lost a couple of reliable fans on here, but I can't remember who they were for now. Owen fans like us, keep this site going, despite it's really awful new layout., which really annoys me as well.

posted by What Would Benny Hill Say? (Guest) - Sunday 10th May 2026, 10:25 AM I have been thinking about this for quite a while now, but I will see the season out, but then like you Owen, I might think of calling it a day. Going back to our showing yesterday, it really wasn't quite as bad, as some of our fans are trying to make out. Due to two dreadful mistakes from Muniz, when he missed a heading sitter, and Anderson's stupid red card, we threw away 3 points in our quest for European football next season, which may not be a bad thing, as our club could be in turmoil, during the summers transfer window, whoever our Manager might be. We have just got to lose players like Muniz, Rual, Robinson, Wilson, and maybe even Anderson. Possibly a new keeper, but Bernd Leno, has had a pretty good season overall. With two wins, which we MUST expect, we will still finish on the same level as last season, so if we look back, we haven't done too bad, but we haven't gone forward as we should have done, mainly down to a decent striker, and a scoring mid field player, like teams of our standing Brentford, Brighton and Bournemouth seem to have. With three very average teams coming up from the Championship, I don't think at this stage anyway, that we will be fighting at the bottom, but we just have to strengthen our squad, or that could be our fate.

posted by Ipitombi (Guest) - Sunday 10th May 2026, 11:15 AM We created more than enough chances in the first half to be well in the lead while Bournemouth produced nothing. That has been our problem all season we create but don't finish. Half the teams in PL lack a decent. We should spend all the money we have for players on a goal scorer.

Not only set pieces. I lost count of corners, i think 11 or more none effective which is really bad! We have so many small detail things wrong from within. Small detail things should be worked on back at Motspur, even before we hit play day. Small details add up to big problems and there is a question mark on Marco and management etc etc...

posted by OWEN - Sunday 10th May 2026, 2:01 AM Yes, our corners are a particular beef of mine, actually. It more often plays out as an opportunity to give the ball back to the opposition and offer them the opportunity for a quick counter. Whilst I’m in a sour mood, let it not be forgotten that Andersen really should take a lot of blame for that result yesterday. We could have expected to go on and win after their red card, but his clear two footed tackle was reckless and begging for the red it deservedly got.

We have now hit rock bottom, with Marco, and our players. It does now seem that Marco's time with us up, and so we need a new manager, with new ideas, and of course new players. Under Marco, we are stale, and it looks like clear out time, with a big thanks to Muniz, Wilson, Jedi, Anderson, Rual, and a few others as well. The Khans must know the situation, so I hope that they can sort it pronto.

Honest speculation but do you think Fulham will make an effort or will it be the same lack lustre performances we’ve come to expect? If we were to qualify for Europe it would be despite ourselves. Don’t really think we deserve it but I guess if we do neither did anyone else. Not too bad a season on balance but seriously marred by the recent lack of interest and commitment from manager and players.

If the majority want to vote for them, so be it, we have to accept it. The Conservatives took their foot off the gas and had gotten complacent and Labour are just clueless. Boris might be a liar but he is the only one capable of winning an election and he can turn it around for the Conservatives if they let him and that says a lot compared to the other hopefuls. And for the record there should never have been a lockdown when Covid because some people worked through it including me and my missus and we had no choice. Nobody had a clue about Covid and some countries chose to lockdown when they did and some didn't and the science people no matter what they say knew very little about a virus that came around just like that in a hundred years and it is time to draw a line under it. For the record Brexit was a peoples vote and not the fault of Boris, people voted out and just like Reform people voted for them and who are we to insult their intelligence? If Reform can't govern, they will have to learn to govern and quick or they will be out simples. I personally think they will mess up and the Conservatives will once again reign supreme just like they have been doing for most of a hundred years and maybe Boris will win them another election. Sometimes a big personality is the key and Boris has that extra something none of the others have and that's what counts whatever you think about the man.

If they are tohit for, as they did against Arsenal, we will be run ragged by the Cherries on Saturday, as there is no way, with the injuries that we have got, that we will even score a goal. We still have a manager who won't tell us what his plans are, and that must be unsettling for our players. It is certainly unsettling for me, and our fans. I'm fed up with all of these stories about Lampard, and other managers coming in June. Why on earth would Lampard come here, when he has an exiting Premier League season, coming up with Coventry.

posted by Davey Boy. (Guest) - Tuesday 05th May 2026, 3:08 PM Wilson blows hot and cold all the way through his Fulham contract and that's why he is probabely better as a super-sub. Before his rich vein of form Wilson was more effective coming on as a sub and we got more from him but that statement is up for debate. I can't remember the correct game when he came on and he was fantastic. He stated in his interview that he hoped the gaffer would play him in more 90 minute games and he got his wish. A lot of blame for losing the ball in midfield is aimed at others and the usual suspects but Wilson is also guilty of losing the ball and his track back isn't great. Top teams see you play in good moments but they also watch you in bad moments and Harry Wilson is having too many bad moments recently which begs the question, should Villa give him a long and big contract? Harry has only himself to blame if he doesn't get his big move.

It would sadden me a club winning the premier league using dirty tactics, disgusting touch line antics, negative football and unbelievable arrogance in the manager. Arsenal used to be a well liked club (Howe and Wenger days) but Arteta has done what Trump has done to US. No, I don't like the fact the premier league won by clubs like Man City who manipulated the financial fair play but still prefer that to arrogance. As for Spurs, not quite sure they have turned the corner...so will see. Best result i could wish for is West Ham to beat Arsenal!!!
posted by JohnC (Guest) - Tuesday 05th May 2026, 9:03 AM I'm sorry John C, but I'm the opposite to you entirely, as after three or more of running up's in the Premier League, Arsenal deserve to pick up the trophy, which looks pretty certain now, as surely th will not drop points against West Ham, Burnley and Palace. As far as Spurs are concerned, I really have no preferences out of either West Ham or Spurs, finish up down in the Championship, as it is not our worry, but saying that I will have a chuckle to myself, when we see the London Stadium half full, with the bubbles bursting. I go along with those fans, who think that getting rid of Moyes, was a huge mistake. As far as we are concerned, we still have an outside chance of European football, but we need to beat Bournemouth, which in the past, we have found very difficult to accomplish. Here is a real test for Marco Silva and his tactics, and at present I have little faith in them. Hopefully we will have a fully fit squad to give us a chance, but scoring those winning goals is going to be very hard, with no real strikers, which has been a complete failure this season.

I think you are missing the illness in the squad, probably this odd flu virus. What ever you age is it sucks all energy out and when you think you are over it you try to do something you realise you are not over it. The team that played was the least damaged players but they looked damaged beyond belief.
posted by The Time Is Now - Sunday 03rd May 2026, 10:21 PM As season ticket friend of mine, told me on a phone call this evening, that at least 9 players who played against Arsenal yesterday, weren't really well enough to play. He didn't know who they were, apart from Wilson and Smith Rowe. Of course it is second hand information, so whether there is any truth in it I don't know, but my friend did say that he was told that it was genuine, and he has given me some stories before that we're proved correct. Incidentally he lives in Motspur Park, near the training ground.
posted by THE CRAVEN (Guest) - Sunday 03rd May 2026, 10:47 PM Yes' i touched on that TTIN, there is a bug going around to great effect. Nevertheless, our record say's we don't beat Arsenal very often away. Even on a good day H Reed is not the man to hold and boss a midfield. We are not in danger of relegation and our main guys like Iwobi are out so why not chuck on somebody anybody except Reed. We must have a 16-17 year old midfielder around who will be chomping at the bit to try his luck. Marco Silva never seems willing to gamble on somebody on any occasion. Why the German way out on the wing when he is a target man? My concern about Marco Silva is tactically he sometimes falls flat and he has demonstrated this before any virus. Against Villa Marco looks like we can forgive him but saying that Villa look out of sorts with their loss to a poor Spurs.
posted by OWEN - Monday 04th May 2026, 12:24 AM Marco would not have started with Reed unless he had no choice. Arsenal had nothing to beat other than mainly player with no energy or pace.

There is a cup competition which premiership teams youngsters play lower leagues first teams and even the top six youngsters struggle.

Did Villa give us the flu or did we give it to them as they are playing like we played.
posted by The Time Is Now - Sunday 03rd May 2026, 6:38 PM I'm not really bothered, as to who will be relegated, out of Spurs or West Ham, as long as it wasn't us. I must admit though, that I really don't like West Ham's ground, and thier supporters are not among my favourites, and they always seem to nick points off of us, especially at the Cottage, whereas we do OK generally against the Spurs, and their ground is quite nice as well, and most of their fans are pretty friendly. All in all, I would like to say goodbye to the Hammers. The London Stadium will look a pretty empty place in the Championship.

Who said we won't be playing in Europe next season, because if we win our next three games, we probably will be. It's a case of just, let's just wait and see. We can't judge yesterday's result as to our chances, as Arsenal played really well, and we were hit with both a virus and injuries, so we didn't. It's as simple as that. We did however stop them scoring in the second half, which was a good effort.
posted by THE CRAVEN (Guest) - Sunday 03rd May 2026, 8:11 AM Yesterday's result was disappointing, but not until unexpected, as we have never beaten Arsenal away, and with both the illness and injury problems, we had nil chance of anything, except keeping the score down, which did comfortably in the end. The biggest fault with our club, is the ongoing will he won't he stay, about Marco Silva. He surely must know by now, whether he is going or staying, and the same applies with Harry Wilson, who has most certainly lost any semblance of form, in fact I can see other clubs now being disinterested at paying any big fee for him. He needs to up his game for the rest of the season.

posted by Chief (Guest) - Sunday 03rd May 2026, 12:43 PM Spizz, you are probably right about Europe, but where there is life there is hope, so never say die, until the season is over. AC, for your info, there will be no fee involved with Harry Wilson, as he can leave for free, at the end of his contract. For what it is worth, I don't feel that Harry will ever recapture his early season form, so we shouldn't fight to keep him now.

Arsenal are trying to win the title so their motivation is greater than ours. They ran us off the pitch in the first half, relaxed in the second but were still the much better team. We have never won a League at Arsenal, that tells you something. We would have needed to play much better them and they would have play much worse than them us for us to win, the opposite occurred.

I agree even when you have had flue it is two weeks before you really fell well again. How many of those yesterday were recovering and how many were really fit. Certain people on this site just like moaning, I know it is a disappointment after that impressive win against Villa but there are good reasons.
posted by The Time Is Now - Sunday 03rd May 2026, 8:03 AM My only real concern on pitch was Robinson who I rate but has been so poor before any Virus.. blame Marco for playing him. Bassey at left back least he fights every gams and Cuenca playing CB he’s never let us down. Robinson all over the place its sad to see. You can’t play a man short v Arsenal the rest tired but did look out of sorts midfield wasn’t good with so many injuries would like to see Cairney start, you do need every one fit at Arsenal it was poor lo

posted by DMK (Guest) - Saturday 02nd May 2026, 6:25 PM That's a bit unfair, he didn't play badly at all. Bassey as usual was our man of steel. Luckily we played far better in the second half, otherwise we could have more goals in the against column.
posted by LTS (Guest) - Saturday 02nd May 2026, 6:37 PM We were over ran first half because a couple of players were not good enough. We played a top class side. And you all got to be at it. Reed been a great servant for club but not premiership class. We missed Iwobi and Berge defence over ran because no midfield apart from Lukic who was my MoM and Robinson is so poor this season.

Whatever injury Robinson had clearly impacted his cognitive ability. He’s gone asleep for two moments and we lost 2 goals. He needs to wake up quick if he’s to have a good World Cup!
posted by JohnC (Guest) - Saturday 02nd May 2026, 11:30 PM What decent fullback defends against a class winger with his hand behind his back. Why do Fulham bypass the midfield on so many occasions with aimless long balls? Does Marco not trust our midfield. Lesson to be learned from how Bournemouth play out from the back. ESR has got to take more risks and make defense commit - no use with a telepgraphed 5 meter side pass.

Ref was aweful, never wanted to give us any decision, but we were terrible first half. Even less than second best, only drew second half 0-0 because arsenal took their foot of the gas. We surrendered too easily and showed difference in class and ability. If we can get reasonable amount of money for Robinson, sell him on a liability at the moment, put in offer for Wolves left back. We totally lack midfielder who has an eye for a good pass and creativity, and as for upfront absolutely nobody. I don’t know what Cuenca has done not to get picked, as far as I’m concerned has not let us down when picked.

posted by LTS (Guest) - Friday 01st May 2026, 4:09 PM Will he stay if we get in Micky mouse cup. Marco says it will make known difference one way or other. If you’re gonna aim for a cup, at least get in Euros. Roy Hodgson did have a bigger squad early rounds Smalling and Baird played CB Kelly RB . Pantsill Hangeland and Hughes all busy in premiership most of our first team played later in competition. It hardly hurt our premiership matches. Our run to final is very underrated. When you hear bigger clubs with bigger squads moaning. Fulham deserved much more praise
posted by DMK (Guest) - Friday 01st May 2026, 4:30 PM We can beat Arsenal if we can cover them as well as we did against Villa. We must avoid free kicks and corners as far as possible and be aware of of what they do when we can't. We must negate their dangerous wingers as well. If we play as well as we did against Villa we can beat anyone.

posted by T.No (Guest) - Friday 01st May 2026, 5:02 PM There is most likely a few twist and turns yet before the title race is decided. If not Fulham who upsets Arsenal or City, it will be somebody else. Marco Silva seems to pay more attention to the big matches and it will be a cracker of a game win lose or draw. A win for Fulham will do more for Marco's CV more than we know and a win will hit the spot just like 007 James Bond timing for Marco and it will most likely propel him towards that move he craves but such is life.

Hopefully we will put up a good show, come away without any injuries, and then carry on to win our next three games against, Wolves, Bournemouth and Newcastle, not impossible if we play to our potential. If we do, we will certainly be on the fridge of a European spot of sorts. COYW.

The problem for Marco Silva is i don't think he is at his strongest without Boa Morte and i say this for a number of reasons. Our lack of cutting edge in crucial games this season is a problem but who cares, we are over the line and safe. Our expectations and goals are different from Chelsea who will expect higher and better things. Marco has never reached that next level and not saying he can't or he won't but it would be a gamble if Marco takes charge at Chelsea. We are safe for another season so there is no reason to put pressure on Marco to get more from our squad because we are the nice Fulham. 5 years is a long time in the managerial stakes and i am not sure Marco has the appetite to continue? I really think that Marco is waiting for a call from Chelsea or who else is out there and he will weigh his options up, stay or go? The Khans have been decent overall and i think that if Marco signs his contract, he will get further funds to his liking. The nucleus is all there with the likes of Josh, Rowe, Kevin, etc, they are all young talent. We wouldn't have too much of a problem to get a decent manager to work with these guys, we are good to go with or without Marco Silva. Why worry yourselves.
