Must be. But the goalie thought was going in and if you look at the replay King looks to the goal and shoots. He doesn’t try to get his foot round the ball to o cross. But only King will really know.

In your Arsenal analysis please don’t say like the all the press and other FFC podcasts that we didn’t have a shot on target. King had a shot out putover the bar by the goalie. BTW I think he meant it. Look at the highlights.

@fulhamish.bsky.social Why do people say we had no shots on target? Am I dreaming or did the goalie tip over a King effort or not. Haha. BTW I think he meant it. Look at the highlights.

One thing why is everybody saying FFC didn’t have a shot on target? Am I dreaming or did Josh King have one put over the bar by the goalie? Haha. I thought at the time that was a cross but having seen replay I think he meant it.

I know this is not helpful really but watching the spurs match reinforce obvious, we have a Palinha shape hole in defence. The 2 to replace him are good in Silva’s usual tactical plan but if that breaks down. He is making Spurs much better, like he did with us.

Obviously Leno has been great for us but I think that was his worst mistake. There is no way that a shot from there should go in. No way. He had loads of time, in PL terms, to get himself right. From S. position the shot could only go one way.

First goal obviously appalling from our POV, I assumed Castagne would do a sliding tackle. Indeed I thought that was what he was going to do. But somehow was not balanced. Of course, is no way really that that should have gone past Leno.Very very poor goalkeeping. I thought ok no problem from there!

@cottagetactico.bsky.social After Saturday especially I’m convinced on Josh King. What a performance. Still fuming, of course.

I knew you were on holiday cos of pods. Only listened on the (very poor quality, poor GJ) FFC and seen highlights so far. Not sure I will watch full length. Going to MU , Bristol City,Chelsea, Leeds & Brentford. Will judge then. Really hope above is just me being ultra nervous.

Just wanted to put my opinion to someone. Quite aware you probably won’t reply cos above will not be popular with our fans. The other thing is if Josh is reading all this ‘ridiculous’ praise stuff it could go to his head. Let’s be clear Sess was in another stratosphere to Josh at 18.

Also I’ve noticed for the first team senior players are reluctant to give him the ball when they should. Hmm.

isn’t contributing in the enough in the game, often is in the wrong place and gets knocked off the ball too easily. Glad to be wrong.

@cottagetactico.bsky.social I don’t know what you think but Josh King looks a long way from a starting PL player to me. Like all I think very promising but I’ve seen him in 6/7 fullish matches for England u19, Fulham u21 and Fulham fst IX now. He has nice cameos but even for the younger teams…

@fulhamish.bsky.social Weirdest last friendly ever. Where are our players!!!! 1 first team sub Cairney!!!

@cottagetactico.bsky.social Not really interested in this club World Cup tournament except have been looking at Bayern matches cos of João. He is not getting picked and not even a last few mins sub. Quite clear he is not in their 25/26 thinking. Not sure if FFC return would be a good thing. You?

Was ot a successful season or a case of What Might Have Been?

Here’s our season review including our POTS (clue: smile & floodlights), our GOTS (clue: Derby winner) and our thoughts on a group of players whose motto is One For All, All For #Fulham #COYW

Thanks. Masterly.

@cottagetactico.bsky.social not sure if you lol at BS but I left Twitter a few months ago. The ongoing debate about what needs to be strengthened in off season is interesting - both of course. However 12 teams have scored more goals and 8 given away fewer. Simple but…..

Football existed before the Premier League.

Fuck you. Here's every Fulham FC player born after the formation of the Premier League (20th February 1992.)

You'll probably need to zoom in for a clearer view. I've left Reiss Nelson as active, but I assume his stats won't change.

Very good pod on a very disappointing day. Oh well. Loved Sammy’s comment that the Eze goal was Malbranque-esk. He is exactly the sort of player needed to pierce their low block. He could do a bit of everything on midfield to a high level.

And me. I was 19. After the game went home and joined in in a game in our local rec.

By the time Palace scored their 3rd goal, their 11 man block was so low it was at the bottom of the Thames, #Fulham’s dreams of FA Cup glory with it. But what went wrong? From flags to flagging, flame to blame here’s our blog on #FFC v CPFC #COYW

Thanks for a funny, balanced and accurate reportage. Loved the allusions to goings on outside FFC. Thanks.

@fulhamfc.com What on earth is going on? No FFC radio feed again. Last week no feed for 5 mins and then a ‘foreign’ feed. I think £50 return is warranted for poor non existent ‘customer service’.

100 Fulham appearances.

11 Fulham goals.

15 caps for 🇸🇪 as a Fulham player.

Enjoy your retirement, Alexander Kačaniklić!

When my dad met Supermac.

This was a charity cricket match v Fulham FC, when Malcolm was manager, summer of 1981.

#NUFC

A win that was a fitting tribute on Celebration Day; a fine example of nominative determinism; what might have been and what might still be.

@dancrawford.bsky.social Hi Dan, I’ve left Twitter cos I don’t seem to get enough Musk stuff. Anyway loved the last 3 Green Poles. Was the first one intended? Keep it going now. PK a real loss. He was in C in JH where I am, wondered why not seen recently. Ho hum.

@lbno11ffc.bsky.social New lows on FFC coverage. FFC game had no report in the Guardian and one line in ST Times. I flicked through MOTD and didn’t see any coverage, assume they had the goals. We are a Premier League team aren’t we?
