It's Chuking rain, so I hope we can Chuk a lot of Chukwuaze goals in today..
Don't know why but I feel like he would be suited to the rainy wet conditions, some good fast skimming shots across the wet pitch etc...he might get a couple today,
If anyone can, Chuka can, ChukaCan, ChukaCan, etc

I will be watching on Chucklevision
Cilla Blacks favourite player,
No Sarr or Munoz is a huge loss for them. We need to take advantage of that.
Come on Fulham let's condemn this bogey team nonsense to history. ::scarf::
We're looking like our hectic old self
First time ive seen us take a corner that actually looks pre planned
Nice corner kick routine led to a good shot by ESR
the eeyore in me says this is set up for us to lose to a smash and grab goal.

I know. 71 years of watching Fulham has taught me not to be too confident! It's the hope that kills.
Asleep...
Ugh!

Well done.
*sigh*
These guys are a real bogey team for us.
::cry::
Why so much space in our box? Awful defending again!
A goal was coming. Poor opening 3 minutes, great 7-8 minutes in which we failed to score and then Crystal Palace took control again and were better in the next 7-8 minutes.
Palace have our number every game it's embarrassing
am so sick of palace
Jamie on Sky was singing the praises of our defence just now
They've got Marco's card marked.
There's plenty of time to get back into this game
ESR has been by far our best player yet again.
It's a tale of two goalies.
Is that goal a Wilson or Andersen problem?
We are just not cut out for chess matches. We need more kicking and less dicking.
Looking at the replay of their goal, should Berge do better there or am I being too harsh? Our centrebacks should definitely do better though.

Some lovely back passing again.
We desperately need to freshen the squad up. I really hope we don't sleepwalk though the January window.

Is this a wind-up? He's been one of our most positive passers and he came close to scoring twice(by far two of our best efforts).
Quote from: SerbianLad on December 07, 2025, 04:57:14 PMLooking at the replay of their goal, should Berge do better there or am I being too harsh? Our centrebacks should definitely do better though.
I think they weren't expecting the pass to be intercepted by Palace's own man. If it was intentional it was brilliant but I think it was just fortunate for Palace.

Will be relegated if we do
That should have been a pen for palace
Berge has made a couple of really good, dangerous passes today.
Castagne MIA for that shot
Our backline seem to be on holiday today.
and that should have been another goal
Quote from: Chi_FFC on December 07, 2025, 05:03:39 PMBerge has made a couple of really good, dangerous passes today.
That pass that set ESR up was particularly good. Few poor defensive moments though.
Should have been a penalty. VAR the legends.
Wilson!!!!!
WHAT A GOAL
That is an unbelievable goal
thatll do
Harry f**king Wilson!!!
Yesss
WHAT A GOAL !
That was like Barca in the 00s.
Absolutely beautiful play.
Thank god for Harry once again. ::scarf::
My god what a goal from Wilson
Yeeees
Yeah Harry what a goal COYW ::scarf::
::cry:: ::scarf:: ::cry:: ::scarf::
WHAT A GOAL
Jamie said it all. 'OUT OF THIS WAYLD'
I flipping love Harold Wilson I do
Another Goal of The Month winner for him.
Strange how things change. For months we've had no cutting edge but a solid defence. Now it's the other way round.
Blimey, nearly half time already. Must be a good game to watch.
Quote from: Grassy Noel on December 07, 2025, 05:10:24 PMJamie said it all. 'OUT OF THIS WAYLD'
Jon Champion called it "breathtaking audacity" a phrase you don't hear said about Fulham moch
That goal really did feel like something from Barcelona 2009, or Brazil 82, fabulous.
So Berge playing great as is Tete as per usual. Our CBs are uncertain and despite two well taken efforts ESR seems invisible.
Quote from: Grassy Noel on December 07, 2025, 05:10:24 PMJamie said it all. 'OUT OF THIS WAYLD'
Absolutely outstanding. It's insane thinking we nearly sold Wilson to Leeds a few months ago.
Now I want him signed to a new contract asap!
What is this nonsense? Interviewing Marco at half time??? He should be in the changing room!
Can anyone actually hear what is being said by Gary Brazil?
Goal of the season contender at the very least. I watched it on a stream. Well worth seeing it if you haven't yet.
I am a big fan of Wilson. For a small stature man he is certainly making a big impact in his recent matches for club and country.
Half time thoughts:
My biggest two negatives were actually Wilson's and Raul's performances and then they co-create that beautiful goal (obviously Harry has played a bigger part in it) and that half time thought goes straight to the bin. Absolutely brilliant goal, probably my favourite goal of the season so far.
Berge has had by far his best passing performance. Some really sharp, positive passing. That being said, looking at the replay, he should have done better for their goal (imo) and then the same thing for the Clyne chance (the one that someone said Castagne was nowhere to be seen) and then again a few minutes after that Bassey saved him after he was careless with the ball.
Chukwueze another one with a mixed performance. Some absolutely superb moments and then some moments where he tried to do too much.
Castagne is obviously playing out of position, but he isn't exactly great defensively there and in attack he seems to kill all our momentum pretty much every time he gets the ball.
ESR has been excellent. He made some good runs that came to nothing as well, because the final ball wasn't there.
Sharpen up defensively and sharpen up our passing in the final third and we can win this.
Sidwell and Redknapp cooing over that goal in the studio.
Sidwell even said it was not just world class, but "World, World Class"
Does get better every time I see it. 💚
Solar System class goal.
I just got in having collected my wife from hospital after surgery. Turned on the match at half time. Watched Harry's goal .....O.M.G. We talk about worldies but that really was a genuinely world class goal.

Don't question ESR, you'll upset Serbian lad
Ah man Chuckwueze could have put ESR through...
That was a decent effort from Tete considering it's his weak foot
Yessssssssss
Yusssss
Yeeees
::scarf:: ::scarf:: ::scarf:: ::scarf:: ::scarf::
That useless ESR. I guess SL was right about him!
Get in ESR!
Great buildup play from ESR - and fair play to the ref that was a great advantage to play.
Although looks like it's gonna be disallowed
Quote from: Twig on December 07, 2025, 05:42:17 PMThat useless ESR. I guess SL was right about him!
No goal, but credit where credit's due for ESR being in the right place there.

And he wasn't just in the right place but heavily involved in the build up play too.
Time for Josh
Jimenez looks shot
Raul is hobbling.
Hate that after celebrating a goal.
Get Raul off
Sub time please Marco
We're playing with ten men out there.
We need subs asap. We can't let them get momentum
Kevin for ESR was not the change I had in mind.
JKA for Raul please!
Goddamn that was close. More cute buildup play from Castagne finding Chuckwueze
Looks like Wilson through the 10 position with Kevin on
We got a bit lucky there...
BBC live text just called Kevin, Fred.
Why can't we keep the ball.
Mad minute from Iwobi
We need more subs asap
More subs but Raul staying on which is crazy.

Because he has a knack of scoring in crucial moments

Well if he scores in the next ten mins fair play to you. Personally I'd hook him and give young JKA a run out.
Wel done Kev. Good defending. That is why you have subs.
We can't match Palace's slick movement now
Quote from: ron on December 07, 2025, 06:13:24 PMWe can't match Palace's slick movement now
Not if we keep giving the ball away.
good save Leno
Squeaky bum time
Saw it coming
Gutting. We just can't beat this lot, why?
we're too open on our right
flank. not enough cover for the break.
Inevitable.
How has Raul been on since 60 mins injured
Ffs
Why oh why is 5'7 Josh King marking 6 ft+ Marc Guehi?!
Madness.
Raul should have come off.
Strengthen the squad in Jan!
So bored of this sport lol
I think our subs were poor
ones. They broke up our rhythm and reduced our attacking thread. Unless there a good reason for them. such as injury b
Ahhhgggh why can't we defend properly?!
I give up...
Poor subs. Things were fine. ESR was the best on the pitch. Raul should have come off.
Quote from: KentFulham on December 07, 2025, 06:16:18 PMHow has Raul been on since 60 mins injured
I've been screaming for him to be subbed, it's like playing with ten men.
We haven't created much since ESR came off and to a lesser extent, Chuk being replaced. Creating problems for opponents is the best means of defence.
Quote from: _Putney_ on December 07, 2025, 06:19:10 PMPoor subs. Things were fine. ESR was the best on the pitch. Raul should have come off.
Totally agree.
Poor second half. Zero energy and subs made little impact. If anything we became less effective.
We looked tired.
Relegation dogfight imminent. F'ing joke!
I think we just need 2-3 more passes between Andersen and Bassey. That will do the trick.
Quote from: SimonDaviesEnjoyer on December 07, 2025, 06:15:23 PMGutting. We just can't beat this lot, why?
It is a frustrating one
I never think they look particularly quality but they seem to have a couple slick moments in a match that take us out
get to 40pts and call it a day. Im tired
Glasner has Marco over a barrel again. ::wink::

See what I mean?
We can't cope when opposition sit in a low block and counter attack.
Kevin has been hopeless.
Watching Fulham is like groundhog day. Play okay, look like you might get something, VAR disallows goal, lose late on. Or some variation similar to that.
Blimey. TC with a goal saving tackle! ::scarf::
Boos in the hammy end
Quote from: LittleErn on December 07, 2025, 06:24:27 PMBlimey. TC with a goal saving tackle! ::scarf::
Shouldn't it be Palace making goal saving tackles ffs
At least the game does not feel like robbery. We live to play again.
Huff and puff, but just not good enough
Ponderous, hesitant play. We were moving the ball at half the pace that Palace were , and it got the result it deserved.
Silva to a top 6 club according to Sidwell. I don't think so son!
Hard to see where another 20 or so points are coming from.
Gutted, Fulham weren't "great", but they didn't deserve to lose that one at all.
The result takes some of shine off that goal, sadly.
Ah well.
Got to watch out, the teams below us are getting closer.
Lose to bloody Parkerball next weekend and it's big trouble.
Luckily, wolves are virtually gone. Two spots between us, Leeds, Forest, Burnley and Spam.

It's happened a lot this year though. It feels like the "undeserved" results are starting to pile up.
