Podcast: Monday Night Lights
31st October 2024
Sammy and Jack are back in business in the studio, and there’s plenty to sink our teeth into. We take a last look back at the frustrating draw with Everton and consider whether it’s a lack of concentration or our inability to kill games off that is hurting Fulham the most right now.
Then, we move things along to this weekend, where there’s the small matter of a West London Derby against Brentford, under the lights at the Cottage on Monday night, for us to get excited and nervous about in equal measure. The Bees have had a strange season – unbeaten at home, losing every game away – and this feels like a pivotal moment in the campaign for both sides, as well as the local bragging rights being in the balance.
There’s some chat about the history of this fixture, debunking a myth about the Playoff final, some discussion of why it’s a good thing to have a two-way rivalry, and our thoughts on how the game might pan out, before we finish with some questions. We meet Fulham’s foremost fan in Fiji, Jack launches another passionate defence of Andreas Pereira, and we finish with a discussion about some of the most divisive players to have worn the White shirt in recent times.
