Thanks for posting on here! The end-of-season collapse seems to be a Silva thing even without the contract saga. Feels terrible now but is it worse than stressing over relegation at the beginning of the season and then getting better?

A sliding tackle leads to a sliding doors Moment. Europe now feels like it was never a possibility; that it was just something that slipped away while we waited for a final ball that never arrived. Our blog on #FFC vAFCB & Marco Silva’s interminable indecision #COYW werdsmith.com/p/26QWra8duR...

The lessons from this match are a brilliant bench doesn’t win matches if you can’t defend set pieces & football is about scoring goals not creating chances A purple patch fading to lilac & missing midfielders in more ways than one Us on #FFC v EFC #COYW werdsmith.com/p/pmjEtZmaTx...

This is just joyous. From the players’ support of Josh King to Marco’s lovely comments, with hugely talented new players joining the brilliant ones we already have - don’t want to jinx anything but for once it feels like this season has good vibes written all over it 🤞🙏🤞

Injustice & iniquity Our blog on #FFC v VAR & the incompetence of Rob Jones, a shocking example of nominative determinism Marco is angry, the players are angry, fans are angry. It may be #Fulham against the world but there’s a lot of fight in this underdog #COYW werdsmith.com/p/AWeWrgmPYt...

Great blog, thank you. Looking forward to more next season. The ref not awarding us that penalty was just outrageous, City would have been given that in a heartbeat.

Raúl’s failed overhead kick in stoppage time summed up the game and the season - Fulham promised much but didn’t quite deliver. With apologies for lateness due to technical issues here’s our blog on #FFC v MCFC featuring the one and only Mr Bishop! #COYW werdsmith.com/p/JUtzS9rMBu...

A brilliant write-up. I was lucky to be there. Your observations of the ref and game were spot on- cannot understand why no pundit said anything about that penalty, a disgrace, and Schade was the main culprit going down far too easy. Keep up the great work.

A beautifully written write up. I was gutted to miss the game but felt I was there with you for those couple of minutes reading the blog. Thanks for all your wonderful blogs.

History will tell of an unassuming Welshman who terrorised the footballers of a west London suburb. A mean, menacing winger who could strike at will. Here’ our blog on #FFC v Brentford, an away day for the ages. 3 goals, another double & a new points record #COYW werdsmith.com/p/bQTY7zMDre...
