Post by: ffcne on May 10, 2026, 05:27:43 PM
West Ham so far showing powder puff Fulham .How to keep the Gunners out.
A good old 5 at the back.Which was what we were all talking about before last weeks surrender.

They are fighting for survival though. I thought a Fulham fan of all people should know that when you're in that position, you can up your levels significantly.

It's a different thing completely. It's like working hard at work because you want to become rich vs working hard at work because you don't want to end up homeless.

I too was disappointed that we didn't put more of a fight vs Arsenal, but I still think it's much easier for West Ham to get motivated than us.

Ffs VAR chalked it off. Unfair decision. Pablo, who fouled Raya, almost got his shirt taken off by Trossard in the exact same moment. How do you determine which foul comes first.

Also, Arsenal scored about 50% of their goals doing similar things like that

Arsenal so lucky there. Looking like they will win the title now. Hammers look doomed.

Exactly. How many times do they block and shove in the box unpunished from set pieces.

I'm gutted for West Ham. I don't like them as they usually managed to cheat their way to wins against us in recent seasons, but they fought hard today and were the better team overall, imo. Particularly in the second half.

Disgraceful. And of course it had to be that clown Kavanagh. I saw a lot of West Ham fans online criticising him even before that disallowed goal and rightfully so. He's always helping the "big" teams.

Absolutely correct, I know people can't accept it but i genuinely support both Fulham and Arsenal, that will never change.

So, with hammers going down, which of their players can we target. Bowen I would love but maybe not realistic for us with our budget. Summerville can be decent. Wan-Bissaka, Mateus Fernandes maybe. Nuno to take over from Marco?

Bowen would be great. If we're going to replace an oldie (Raul) with another oldie then it might as well be Bowen.

Bowen would play off the right side and replace Harry Wilson. Maybe drift inside a bit more but similar cutting in for shots and inswinging crosses.

The centre half Disasi, on loan from Chelsea,  is a decent player, wouldn't mind him on a season long loan.

Bowen reported to be on £150k a week, no chance he'll join us.

Seen reports of a punch up in the corporate section after the game, any Arsenal fan celebrating outside of the away section must be mad.

I really don't understand why you would celebrate whilst sitting in the home stand, did they think they would get away with it.

Noticeable all the sly digs at one of the Arsenal fans but no one touches his tough looking 6 foot 4 mate.
