Good to know the BBC have discounted Fulham already when it comes to Europe.

Picked a great day for our worst performance of the season.

Have two spare tickets Fulham away at Arsenal away; can't make now, ideally I know you. #ffc

Maybe we’ll do another one soon, rusty but the Fulham performance on Saturday was definitely inspired by us. πŸ˜†πŸ˜‚

We dug out the microphones and @osmith.bsky.social @friendsoffulham.bsky.social only went and did a good old fashioned rough and ready podcast with myself in Ireland, Owen in a Airport in the USA getting hassled by Homeland security and Scott finishing off his gin

Devastating way to lose a game.

There were some robust challenges the ref let go on Fulham players in the 2 minutes of injury time preceding the pen.

The one on Robinson at 94 mins was clear as day.

We’ve really played this game in the gutters, taken our game to Manchester United’s level. Once upon a time that was high praise. #FFC

Absolutely made up with that result. Hanging in there at the end but excellent way to bounce back from the Palace game.

Bless the Sess, 5 at the back and he ends up marking 2 men…
Can’t say that wasn’t coming for Wolves; it’s been all them apart from our one minute cameo.

We take it, but that looked very close to offside. πŸ˜… #FFC

Either a master stroke of a selection from Silva or a cry to the powers that be for squad depth in the summer. We should know Wolves are dangerous after the 1-4 tonking we took at Craven Cottage, their performance against Liverpool and excellent win at Bournemouth. #FulhamFc

Complacency? Motivation? Struggling to break down deep defences? Whatever it is, it’s holding us back. #FFC

Watched the extended highlights this morningβ€”once again bullied by a team below us in the league.

Our results this season scream mentality issue. We rise to the challenge against top teams (1.9 PPG) but fall flat against bottom-half sides (1.3 PPG). #FFC

First time in a long time I’ve watched my team lose and still felt this good. The Welsh attitude, effort, and application yesterday were truly inspiringβ€”I’m feeling pretty damn proud today. All you can ask for is 100%, and we got that against Ireland. #CymruAmByth

Finally uninstalled X from my phone. Whether it’s the algorithm or just me being boring, the community interaction is dead. Add in Musk & Trumpβ€”it’s just time.

Went in with low expectations given the reviews but actually enjoyed it. Hard to match the magic of The Avengers and the OG trio (Iron Man, Cap, Thor), but there were some strong performances. Not perfect, but better than the slating suggests.#MCU

FSA chair @tomgreatrex.bsky.social in Parliament today outlining why high ticket prices are an β€œexploitation of supporter loyalty”.

Fears that clubs in this country could look at FIFA & Spain where dynamic pricing is used to push up costs. Has to be resisted.

Grateful to have been able to work alongside incredible teams pushing things forward over the last decade πŸ™β€” Entact Bio, March Biosciences, Cytospire Therapeutics Ltd, Araris Biotech AG, Trogenix, Hornet Therapeutics, Carisma Therapeutics, & Autolus Therapeutics to name a few. #WorldCancerDay

We’re constantly improving our understanding of disease pathology, developing more precise, mechanistically-driven therapies, & taking real steps forward for patients.

We have to do better. But we are making progress.

The scale of work happening in cancer researchβ€”across academia, biotech, & pharmaβ€”is huge.

It always blows me away, & yet it’s probably underappreciated by the wider world.

Get in. Needed that. Fully deserved and a real team performance. Raul, Muniz, Robinson, Bassey excellent. Pereira impactful, ESR improved, Lukic disciplined and Berge imperious. Up the purples!! #FFC

Other thoughts, in no particular order:
β€’Highlight of the day was half-time. Forever Fulham & Edwin van der Sar. 😍
β€’Cairney and Pereira came on 15 minutes too late.
β€’Andersen is way too handsy.
β€’Martinez was very lucky not to get more for his tackle on Traoreβ€”or to escape with his life.

Properly annoyed after that. Yet again, we were the better team but lacked the cutting edge. Muniz, ESR, and Iwobi were all dreadful. Castagne snuffed out our attacks. United didn’t deserve it, but we handed them the chance. So frustrating. #FFC

100% agree, especially now. Paranoia party. πŸŽ‰

It was a new twist, I didn't hate it as much as the way it resolved at the end. Not sure if it should be a repeat feature. Think the way things are going its always going to distil to a two-person reveal without changes; the type of people who are cast are gamers and the strategy/trust force it.

It feels like the way things were set up, two people were always destined to win in the end. Curious to hear others’ thoughts (spoiler-free if you can!)β€”did the ending sit right with you? Or was it just another masterclass in game design #TheTraitors

Watched the Traitors finale with my wife at the pub yesterday. We’ve kept quiet on spoilers, but honestly, the ending left us feeling gutted. It really showcased the darker side of human natureβ€”paranoia and distrust ruling the game. #TheTraitors

The Met Office is slowly getting through the Lord of the Rings character references. We had Arwen in 2021 (remember that drive up to Preston away), Eowyn hits the north later today. Lord help us when storms Iluvatar, Morgoth or even Sauron hit…
