At least he had a shot,quite a few occasions today when we should have shot but decided to pass,confidence or lack of it I guess. On the whole a thoroughly enjoyable performance and if it was Marcos last game in charge what a fabulous 5 years we’ve had.

Hull have a transfer embargo for not paying their bills, buying players to improve the team and not handing over the fee and putting the selling team at a disadvantage I.e. cheating. Not really the best team then.
posted by Eric Pundit (Guest) - Sunday 24th May 2026, 3:02 PM Yes the right result. Would be wrong if Middlesboro went up. I am sure Hull now with £200m guaranteed money, they can agree to lift the embargo. Otherwise, they’d be in big big trouble as they are no where near premler league quality level.

I didn’t take a lot pleasure or confidence from comments LTS.
posted by Observer (Guest) - Sunday 24th May 2026, 12:35 PM I am almost agreeing with LTS, and we might well get away with it again. However, until the dust has settled, and we really do know who our manager will be, or which players are staying or leaving, it's all guess work at present. Surely even if Marco stays, he would have learnt a lot from this season, and we will finish much stronger. Unfortunately missing out on a crack at Europe, may stop us signing any decent strikers, but there just must be some hidden gems around the Championship or even lower, or abroad, that can be far better than we have available now.
posted by AC (Guest) - Sunday 24th May 2026, 12:47 PM The way we played since mid January, do you think that’s good enough to guarantee safety, even with the promoted teams. Hull is probably a guaranteed relegation cert, but as per our performance against Southampton, we have not been much better than other good championship teams like Coventry and Ipswich. So on paper, sure no way we should be relegated. But no way we should only acquired something like 5 points out of 21 against the teams we played. Let’s hope Marco gives the fans and probably hkmeself a good sending off with a win today!

A new manager, if that's what it is going to be, needs to be a top class one, with hopefully Premier League experience. Thank you for asking Baz, but all is well with me, at present, after just celebrating my 92nd birthday, with believe it or not a new lady in my life. Life in the old dog yet ! !

Fulham boss Marco Silva has said he will make a decision next week on his future at the club, while also saying that the futures of Harry Wilson and Raul Jimenez were 'in their hands.' With his contract expiring at the end of the season and reports of a move to Benfica gathering traction, Silva provided no ommediate update on if he will sign a new deal at Craven Cottage when addressing the press ahead of the club’s final day clash with Newcastle. “I don’t see it [uncertainty] as an issue. I’m going to make a decision next week,” told Silva. “I have one offer on the table to think about from Fulham. I am Fulham manager going into the last game of the season.” Wilson and Jimenez's contracts also expire at the end of the season and the former is subject to interest from the likes of Aston Villa and Everton. When asked about what could happen with the attacking pair, Silva said: “So far he [Wilson] hasn’t decided, everything is in his agent’s hands. It’s his decision. For Raul it’s the same.”
posted by SKY SPORTS NEWS (Guest) - Saturday 23rd May 2026, 12:56 PM Marco is losing his support from the fans by the day. Partly, for perceived to use the club as insurance policy if he doesn’t get a top job, and the deteriorating form. If we lose tomorrow, I am concerned even if he signs, the fans no longer worship him like they have done in the last few years. The positive I see if he signs, it means Fulham are probably committed to invest serious money this summer. We waited 6 months for a decision - what’s another 6 days!

Same thing happens every year, full of hope, half a dozen good games, a few more good results, then that’s it. He has shown himself to be incapable of reacting to circumstances during a game and unable to inspire the squad as well as being tactically naive. Get a young British manager with new ideas.
posted by Keith Pundit (Guest) - Saturday 23rd May 2026, 2:31 PM Marco your indecision has resulted in a huge lowering of moral amongst the players.

While I wholeheartedly agree, that under Marco Silva things have slipped again, but despite only having a couple of top players we have managed to establish ourselves in the Premier League, with no relegation concerns. I bet that the Hammers fans would have are now regretting, driving Moyes away, and losing Marco, could also prove to be a disaster, but unfortunately it is something we will not know until it happens. If we get a new manager, and we are relegated, we will curse to high heaven, as the saying goes.

posted by DMK (Guest) - Friday 22nd May 2026, 6:06 PM Harry Wilson, Bernd Leno, Ryan Sessingnon, Iwobi, are really top players in my opinion, that would get into most of, but not all, Premier League sides. Yes, I know that Harry seems to have lost interest lately, but on form he is as good as any player around. Bernd is a really top keeper, but even Pickford, Raya, and Martinez, make mistakes, but no keeper is error free. Iwobi, always puts in 100%. Even Haarland, misses sitters. I have to agree, that we do have other players, that other clubs wouldn't touch with a barge pole, like Muniz, ESR, Anderson, Robinson, and Berge. Hopefully Josh King, Kevin, and Tete, will be much better next season.

posted by Mal (Guest) - Wednesday 20th May 2026, 8:39 AM I don't think it is possible to get so many decisions wrong. Anderson was sent off for the same foul while a bigger club gets away with it. I believe that money is changing hands. That Celtic goal, after nine minutes of extra time they don't score so a penalty. Our goal at Chelsea disallowed but a dodgy penalty against Sess. Then the same thing happened at Villa but that week it is no longer a foul. Come on people, I can smell the corruption.

If there are not major changes from the top down we will be relegated next year.

If we do not get a manager who gets on his players side quickly we are in danger of being relegated next season as that is what we look like with Marco in his players out of step for the last two months. Poor defending and finishing is how a relegation team behaves.
posted by The Time Is Now - Monday 18th May 2026, 8:28 AM There is an extremely important decision coming up next week, with regards to our next manager, if of course, there is a next manager, as at the end of the week, we find Marco still in post. If Marco and the board do agree that he stays with us, it wouldn't be the end of the world, as it's sometimes the better the devil that you know, and changes at the top can go wrong, as Spurs have found out this season, plus Chelsea's woes in the same area. All I hope, is that if they all agree that Marco should stay, I'm it is because, we have been promised a different pattern of play, and it is also agreed to strengthen our side, with at least two new strikers. Look, basically we do have the nucleus of a good competitive side, and we musn't give up with Oscar Bobb, Kevin, and ESR, as they haven't really had time to settle in yet. I still think that ESR, is a talented player, so I would definitely give him another season, and because of that injury, we haven't seen the best of Kevin. I'm not sure about Chucky though.

posted by the real arch bishop (Guest) - Monday 18th May 2026, 1:12 PM We desperately nead a center forward with Raul and Muñiz out. Other than that the squad is fine, its just that Marco is no longer an inspiration and lacks game plans. Most of his subbing is not part of a plan B ,he simply hopes that the player coming on is sufficiently talented to come on and conjour up a miracle which naturally never happens unless its Wilson in one of those rare occasions. What worries me most is that since our 1-2 home loss vs everton in Feb, we have been absolutely pathetic every single match. So pathetic that we will be relegation fodder next season unless the rot stops

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.

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.

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.

posted by Ted (Guest) - Tuesday 12th May 2026, 12:21 PM But you and the ref have a tunnel vision and ignored the blatant foul by Trossard and Rice, with both hands grabbing the players and not looking at the ball.
posted by JohnC (Guest) - Tuesday 12th May 2026, 12:50 PM All teams enter each game or competition accepting that the referee's decision is final so they can't expect to be able to sue if the officials make a mistake or if they don't agree with a decision. If , however, they think an official has deliberately and corruptly affected the outcome of a game that's another matter but I don't think anyone is genuinely suggesting that.

posted by W (Guest) - Tuesday 12th May 2026, 2:56 PM He nearly took the goalkeeper’s head off. How can that not be a penalty, be sensible for heavens sake.
posted by Mortlake (Guest) - Tuesday 12th May 2026, 3:45 PM The goalkeeper pushing the other keeper lead directly to the goal. Any goal scored because of a foul would be disallowed. West Ham are protesting because they lost.
posted by The Time Is Now - Wednesday 13th May 2026, 7:00 AM One of the worst decisions of the season, was Manchester United's goal against us at home, when the United scorer, pushed One our defenders to score. VAR should have picked that up, but being Manchester United they didn't bother.
posted by AC (Guest) - Wednesday 13th May 2026, 10:16 AM West Ham should have been awarded a penalty before the push on the keeper .
posted by Ted (Guest) - Wednesday 13th May 2026, 11:12 AM There’s been lots of times Leno, and other keepers been fouled in box and not given. Seems they only give when it suits. Times I’ve heard Leno should be stronger. All this holding in the box is cheating give free kicks yellow card pens every time be a few goals early in the season but would soon stop
posted by DMK (Guest) - Wednesday 13th May 2026, 11:21 AM An ex ref has suggested the opposing team should not go into the box before the ref blows his start whistle. What a brilliant idea.

posted by Spizzo'53. (Guest) - Monday 11th May 2026, 3:13 PM Anderson is a very steady classy player that awful tackle was unusual. A good buy.
posted by The Time Is Now - Tuesday 12th May 2026, 6:53 AM Fulham have always overpaid for average at best players. No doubt we will over pay again for Chukwueze and probably Pepi aswell.
posted by Mastermind (Guest) - Tuesday 12th May 2026, 7:18 AM Fulham never say what they have paid or sell a player for. The only figures are the ones made up by the media. So how the hell do you know if we have overpaid for a player. The price you pay is a negotiated price.
posted by The Time Is Now - Wednesday 13th May 2026, 7:04 AM Andersen,very poor buy...no pace.
posted by Time Passes Buy. (Guest) - Thursday 14th May 2026, 3:52 AM Andersen cost £22m +, on £140K pw, can't run, can't tackle and definitely not a leader and is a total liability. What's more, we are stuck with him.

Marco to Benfica?? I am not so sure. Marco’s stock value has dived in the last 4-5 months. The same story every year. I think Nuno may become available and for Benfica, he might be a better option.

Be honest - Muniz had an excellent if not bloody amazing spell of 10-12 games a couple of years. Before and after have been league one level.
posted by JohnC (Guest) - Sunday 10th May 2026, 7:19 PM Muniz has never had a good period he frequently does not look like a striker consequently only very occasionally score a goal. He is a complete waste of time.

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!!
posted by JohnC (Guest) - Sunday 10th May 2026, 12:59 PM So why havent Marco and the coaching staff improved him or replaced him ? We only have two strikers and clearly one of them is not good enough
posted by Brain Doctor (Guest) - Sunday 10th May 2026, 1:31 PM We do not have two strikers , we have three players pretending to be strikers.

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 AC (Guest) - Sunday 10th May 2026, 10:13 AM Give it a rest mate... it's a bit of light hearted banter.
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 THE CRAVEN (Guest) - Sunday 10th May 2026, 10:55 AM To be so touchy Owen keep on going don’t get why people get so upset I don’t bother to read long posts no big deal
posted by Ipitombi (Guest) - Sunday 10th May 2026, 11:09 AM Watched live and highlights better side first half did not take chances got to say not impressed with starting eleven again drop Wilson to bench for a start
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.
posted by The Time Is Now - Sunday 10th May 2026, 1:27 PM What have you been saying Owen and who have you been upsetting? I think it’s more likely to be the length of your posts that have caused offence, not what you say. I’ve always thought of you to be at the gentlemanly end of the spectrum, just like me:))
posted by Mortlake (Guest) - Sunday 10th May 2026, 1:47 PM Not completely convinced the post was actually from our Owen but if it was, I know you are a religious man so “turn the other cheek” and post for those that care not vice versa.
