I remember it very well Bigboy. I had a class mate who supported Wolves and how I gloated, for about 3days. My first lesson in humility:)). For the younger posters on here, Wolves were the team in those days, so it was the equivalent of bearing Man. City today. A very good team captained by the England skipper Billy Wright. Thanks for the memory, if a little salutary.

That is when we lost to the USA 1-0 and when the result was published in the late news in the Standard most people thought it was a misprint. Alf Ramsey was in the team as were many other stars. Surprised you don’t remember Jim Taylor who left Fulham and spent two seasons with QPR before moving into management. An excellent cultured footballer loved by the fans.

posted by DMK (Guest) - Thursday 14th May 2026, 9:35 AM Best to have occasional a decision by a nail than a lot of wrong decisions during match, accuracy is better than unjustified celebration. Because of VAR I look more carefully at everything going on the pitch. At times is must be difficult to see if a player has been significantly touched to fall over or touched at all. Most players try to cheat by falling over when the don't need to rolling around as if they are seriously damaged. Send ever player off for cheating and they would soon stop it.

Let's for example, we do find ourselves a new manager, and we struggle at the bottom of the table, or heaven forbid, we get relegated, we all wish that Marco should have stayed, and we would have finished mid table again. I am one of the worst examples, as I keep changing my mind on a daily basis, as to whether I want Marco to stay or go. Is it better the devil you know, or do we take a chance with a new manager /coach instead, and step into the unknown. It's a real puzzle.
posted by THE CRAVEN (Guest) - Wednesday 13th May 2026, 3:57 PM Not puzzling at all. Follow the money. Greedy club vs greedy manager who is threatening to leave to be greedy somewhere else.

posted by Rachel Reeveschesscoach (Guest) - Wednesday 13th May 2026, 4:14 PM If Marco can keep us up consistently lets keep him. If the owner has found a way to spend more money on players in the windows we perhaps can afford a much better manager and should search for him.

He would get more respect if he said he wanted to try something new but will honour his contract. Rather leaving the club on the same level as Roy, he will probably leave with a very sour taste with the fans.

I was lucky enough to have been a referee of the National leagues etc, and a referees assistant, or as I like to call it, linesman on the Premier League, and was quite surprised when we were told to ignore, such as stepping over the lines from throw ins, and keepers taking the ball outside of the penalty areas, when they clear the ball, and most blatantly, ignore players running into the penalty, when a penalty is taken. So many penalties are scored illegally.

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.

(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, 1:59 AM Lol, i think you've covered corners sorry.
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.

I stuck up for Robinson and i mostly give him a good write up but not today. Robinson has all the speed but that final pass is woeful and this sums up our performance against a team 20 unbeaten.
posted by OWEN - Saturday 09th May 2026, 7:14 PM Why did Marco keep Muniz on who did nothing but miss an open goal and took Cairney off who was controlling the game,
posted by The Time Is Now - Saturday 09th May 2026, 8:31 PM Robinson crosses have always been a bit hit and miss, but his defending was good today and his positioning Denver good today getting back to his old self, when you were sticking up for Owen he was all at sea

Yep, we need a lot of new players and a new manager if we are to be competitive. The last 6/7 games have really highlighted our weaknesses. Goal difference shows the problem.

The last post was spot on 7 games out of 9 the team have not scored It's obvious the current squad are not good enough Also what is the manager doing to let this keep happening Totally unacceptable to all Fulham fans who spend their money hoping to see a decent game cant even see any goals or commitment
posted by Bill (Guest) - Saturday 09th May 2026, 5:13 PM

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.

posted by Bean (Guest) - Saturday 09th May 2026, 5:35 PM It’s a pity we didn’t sell Muniz to Leeds when they were willing to pay big bucks for him.
posted by John (Guest) - Saturday 09th May 2026, 6:21 PM Sadly for Muniz, this was his big chance to impress. With Jimenez getting iinjured in warm up, Muniz got the minutes and if only he had buried that point-blank header, we would have cheered the rafters. I so wanted him to score that one but he didn't.
posted by OWEN - Saturday 09th May 2026, 7:02 PM

We have become stale. Marco has no plans on staying. We need to evolve as a football club. I think we should go for indigo Perez of real vallecano but my worrying feeling is we will get Thomas Frank.
posted by Dave (Guest) - Saturday 09th May 2026, 6:29 PM

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.
posted by Mortlake (Guest) - Saturday 09th May 2026, 11:55 AM no doubt some one will tell us we have broken a rule somewere, may be the stand is to tall bogs aint clean enough, so deduct us a few points, its the sort of thing that would be so fulhamish to round of a season of ifs and maybees.We seem to be the cog that irritates jurnos, who still refer us as the the pretty little club that does nowt but promises so much , so prove me wrong and stuff bournmouth big time.

posted by Kier Bottom (Guest) - Friday 08th May 2026, 5:08 PM I didn't vote reform and i wouldn't but they won and that is called democracy fair and square. 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.

posted by OWEN - Thursday 07th May 2026, 7:27 PM I'm reluctant to say this, but our manager and coaching staff are to blame, plus we don't seem to be able to spot young talented players, as Bournemouth, Brighton, Brentford, and Palace seem to do, time after time. 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. It looks like the managers merry go round, coming up soon, and I hope that we don't get left with some has been.

Am not a planner, I don’t think you’d get more seats in Putney and hammy. The same stand without boxes, media and executive seats would be 10k. So it’d be 6.5+6.5+8+10 =31. Not that much more. If they wrap around the corner - may take it to 35k. My guess.

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.
