What's up with Andersen? Not starting or on the bench. Just heard he's ill.
Come on Fulham. Let's have a fast start and really make a statement
Dragusin looks lile he's gonna injure one of our players today
Get in!
Wilson!!!!
Yeeeeeees
Great start.
VAR coming in.
Already??
Goal stands ::scarf:: ::scarf:: ::scarf:: ::scarf::
VAR is a joke isn't it? Every week I feel like I end up complaining about it.
Was a slight push by jimenez in dragusin's back, but i doubt he would've got to the ball without it.
Let's see what VAR says.
Mind you my stream is behind, so apologies if the situation is already cleared

Cant enjoy a goal because you have to wait for the inevitable nonsense
given!
Now let's get two or three....

It does seem they just flip a coin to make the decision. After taking 5 minutes to find the coin.
NO fun in it anymore but hurray, we're winning. Great technique from Harry
::scarf:: ::scarf:: ::scarf::
Should of been a corner...
that attack was down to Tete not giving up on the clear foul which wasnt given. kept fighting
Berge is so frustrating to watch
Tete put in a lovely ball for the goal, just asking to be attacked. We don't do that often enough.
I know I'm greedy but let's get a quick second
Don't let them into it... get another.
Corners still look worrying. VDV was blocking leno on this one, looks like they're gonna target him
Close from Tete!
Gotta score there!!
Wow, superb from Issa
nice block by diop!
We need to speed it up a little
It looks even better on replay. What a tackle!
Need the crowd to get into the game. I can only hear the away end.
I'm no tactical expert but it feels like we're light in midfield.
Spurs are growing into this, why are our fans so quiet.
Need them today as all to often we end up throwing away points we should be taking home with us
Quote from: SimonDaviesEnjoyer on March 01, 2026, 02:30:32 PMI'm no tactical expert but it feels like we're light in midfield.
Diop is not the best at progressing the play so Berge is dropping in between and that is removing a passing option
Cairney in the middle dropping back would have been a better option if he started.

Agree, we are slowly letting them in, defending a 1-0 again. Silva needs to get the team beiliving they can put games to bed, rather than trying to eek out a slim lead
Superb goal from Iwobi
Iwobi!! What a goal.
Oooh boy that's a beaut.
Spurs are cr*p. I think they really could get relegated

Quote from: SerbianLad on March 01, 2026, 02:34:06 PMSuperb goal from Iwobi
I cant remember the stats but despite people including myself thinking he has been average this season I saw some stats rating him pretty highly on pass completion, moves etc
Ooooh what a stylish goal! Such swagger
game over
Spurs must hate those two names
Yeeeees
What a stunning hit. Fabulous technique.
Don't sit back on this now Marco,go for the kill..5-0 would be nice.
best that I could ever hope for.
Spurs fans in meltdown on their forum :slap:
Quote from: SerbianLad on March 01, 2026, 02:34:38 PMSpurs are cr*p. I think they really could get relegated
I've consistently assumed they're too good to go down, but frankly they're going to rely heavily on WH and Forest being worse than them. They look atrocious.

Grab the popcorn, happy to see any of those 3 relegated
Great build up play. The finish wasn't too shabby either.
Spurs are going to get increasingly pissed off.
We can't sit back. A third would wrap this up
Under a bit of pressure now
and extended bit of pressure from spurs doesnt help. need to get possession back and turn the momentum back in our favor
Bobb looking very confident!

Quote from: TC's Sporran on March 01, 2026, 02:35:29 PMgame over
Not game over, the first 90 minutes plus are the most important.
Goals change games, the next goal is very important, Fulham score and they have daylight between themselves and Spurs.
Tottenham score and it's game on.
Fulham to be ruthless and show no mercy,
Not sit back and invite trouble.
Keep playing the match at our tempo, but we have to be tenacious and finish them off.
We must keep going; they've had 9 shots none on target thankfully.

I do think he's been good on the ball (but not as good as the stats would suggest). It's the off the ball stuff I have a problem with (and that's only when he plays in the middle, on the wing his positioning and tracking back is excellent)
bassey: "oops!'
I like Bobb being in a free roaming role, helping with the build up no end because he's coming inside to let Sess & ESR take up better positions
Bassey should've went for a header there, would have had a better chance of ending up in goal :slap:

Do it again.
Can't start the second half slow... more of the same please.
Go in 2-0, and what ever we do, do not have the same HT v Everton, then come out and pump them for 4
not sure we need a team talk at half time.
Spurs booed off, they cant be happy about that, they will want to fight for this
Good half from us. Spurs are dogsh*t though. How dod they fall off so much? I would bring TC on at some point, just to make sure we can keep control.
Special mention to Diop. He has been immense defensively.
Cannot believe our first goal stood. Spurs fans must be furious. ::cool::
first half, good so far. Man of the Half? Iwobi? Wilson with a goal and an assist? I have been impressed by Bobb on the ball. I think it was his skill on the left which diffused the Spurs momentum. Diop has been good, too - great block.
Some of the Spurs watchalongs might be worth a watch right now.
These 2 fellas are prepping for relegation...

I think there wasnt much in it either way - had the onfield decision been a foul, VAR shouldnt have overturned that either.
Quote from: Fulham 442 on March 01, 2026, 01:57:44 PMWhat's up with Andersen? Not starting or on the bench. Just heard he's ill.
Apparently Silva said in an interview that Anderson had a bit of a fever but was not injured.
So if the last few weeks are anything to go by from this select band of loons we must take Raul off who contributes nothing, ESR off because he is not affecting the game and Iwobi who just looks knackered.
There you go five nil nailed on if Silva ignores that advice.
Coyw
Wont happen, but ideally i wish both West Ham and Spurs go down, as I do think the Premier League is too London Centric, and has been for a decade or two now
I have been hoping that Middlesbrough go up, would be nice to see the 3 Big North East clubs back in the Prem together.
If just Spurs go down though I will be very happy
I think Spurs will come out in the second half like excited puppies and leave us space.
No foot-off-the-gas please Fulham
if anything we have a completely unbiassed ref - or we are getting the better of the calls. not our usual Saturday afternoon.
So close!
Surely stick a boot out there and it's game?
that should have been game over esr
so close there - surely a corner
Would've been disallowed for offside I think but shame not to at least get it in
Bassey you duffus
Less of that Bassey pls
Messing around at the back again....

I fully agree!
Just after week, you'd be furious
Please for the love of god put this game away.
should have been 2-1 there, but instead, we get the front foot again. but that might get called back for a pen.
That was a wonderful attack
Goodness me... this should be 3 or 4 nil.
We should be 5-0 up.
We are so close to a third
another chance that really should have been converted
Bobb is linking so well, plays as if he had a full pre season with the squad
Oscar Bobb is legit
Hammy end is a bit quiet... are they still all queuing for the bogs?
i just realized the problem - i am only on my second Asahi. I should go get my third...
Diop is superb. Love him
Got a bit sloppy last few minutes....
Richarlison makes me nervous.
Quote from: SimonDaviesEnjoyer on March 01, 2026, 03:20:39 PMRicharlison makes me nervous.
As long as he's on the floor then no problem!
We need to keep pressing for this third goal
How has ESR missed that!! ::angry:: ::angry:: ::angry::
ESR needs to score there, imo
6-0.

that grabbing your face nonsense drives me nuts
dear me.....
We could regret these misses...
Emile come on bruv
To me it feels like we've gotten a bit too cocky infront of goal, almost as if the players are trying tondribble the ball into goal
What does ESR need to score?
I think that's good keeping rather than a bad miss, he's absolutely flown out there to narrow the angle down. ESR does everything right in terms of touch and finish
Stop saying we will regret these misses. Are we watching the same match? We are in full control.

Ffs

Subs needed now
Sess FFS no idea where he was
come on!
There we go, classic Fulham.
We are about to draw this game at best
who said "told you so"?

Always the same.
Miss a sitter and then you get punished.ffs
Did bassey get a yellow for holding the ball?
sloppy finishing is gonna bite the proverbial
should be 4 or 5-0
Quote from: Deeping_white on March 01, 2026, 03:25:57 PMSess FFS no idea where he was
Not sure what Bassey was doing there either. He was guarding him and then let him go and was guarding no one

You were saying
Yep, bring them on Marco.
Make some changes Marco before we go 2-2
the usual fulham. Should be out of sight, end up making a balls of it
Can see how nervous all of our players are now. They lose composure so easily. Need a mental coach to work on that

Quote from: SimonDaviesEnjoyer on March 01, 2026, 03:20:39 PMRicharlison makes me nervous.
The goal confirms why you should be. His positioning for their goal was astute.
TC and Chukwuezs coming on. Good choices
Good to hear the fans really driving the team on ::thumb::
Muniz also coming on
I'm assuming Iwobi and Bobb go off
Again need to sort this out before we give the game away, too many chances and we just cant put it away, criminal letting Spurs back in
Good subs
Quote from: St Eve on March 01, 2026, 03:31:40 PMI'm assuming Iwobi and Bobb go off
Bobb has been great today
Good day for Harry. 👏
King for Bobb
King coming on for Bobb now too
Josh king. Good sub
Kid has passion
i wouldnt take bobb off, but hopeful josh has something to say about that.
Think the quick fourth sub was to disrupt the spurs rhythm.
i still want joao back
Need to get this third goal...
Oh dear...
Wild from Iwobi.
we will not lose this game; 3rd goal coming.
Desperately hanging on
This shouldn't be so nerve wracking.
that looked like a foul throw
All 3 Prem Games are currently 2-1
Come on Fulham
Come on Forest
Not looking good and the subs haven't helped a lot either
Quote from: SerbianLad on March 01, 2026, 03:43:21 PMNot looking good and the subs haven't helped a lot either
i think they have - much more composure from tom/king/chuck - harder to judge muniz
This scoreline is an utter joke.
Quote from: SerbianLad on March 01, 2026, 03:43:21 PMNot looking good and the subs haven't helped a lot either
I thought the opposite tbh, we've got control of the ball a lot more now
We are lucky
what are we thinking for added time? 5 mins?
Is this the game they gave away tickets to locals?

Phew! Just over the line, Fulham double league victories and 9th place for now.
Thats was one the easiest wins for a long time and yet we nearly screwed it up!
Mine is a Double.
