The last month of the season, can we sneak into Europe?
ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE Manchester United 3-1 Fulham
Bin, Cockbill, Saliba, Borkovic (Smith 56), Jabu, Henderson, Gilmour, Harris, Pavlov, Cantwell (Lewis-Potter 56), Ferguson The champions gave us a bit of a paddlin
ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE Fulham 4-1 Brighton & Hove Albion
Bin, Cockbill (Pavlov 71), Hoey, Saliba, Jabu, Henderson, Harris, Acevedo, Gilmour (Murray 71), Cantwell, Calderon A huge result against our main rival for 7th spot!
ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE AFC Bournemouth 0-3 Fulham
Bin, Cockbill, Hoey, Saliba, Jabu, Henderson, Harris (Murray 71), Gilmour (Ferguson 60), Calderon (Pavlov 81), Cantwell, Acevedo A big final day win, but is it enough?
We were pretty special last season after I got back from Italy. 19 games played and 39 points accrued is pretty good going and the only thing preventing us from playing in the Europa Conference League was a stunning final day performance by Brighton away at the champions. I'm gutted, the Europa Conference League thing is what we all dream of.
I got given a bit of a war chest as well as carte blanche to reshape the squad, while all the board want is mid table, lovely stuff. So we sold some players, a lot of players and brought in £250m. I didn't want to sell everyone went, I'm gutted to lose Hoey, but other than that they were all pretty bad
On a few of these, I was shocked to get as much as we did for Gibbs-White & Cantwell. Cantwell is getting on whilst Gibbs-White is nowhere near the player he was for us in the Championship. Meanwhile, I have no idea what Swansea saw in Connor de Vries to spend £30m on him, but I'll gladly take their money. Robert Jakubiak had spent last season at Marseille and they obviously liked him, I don't like him so it was nice to see him go. Pedrosa was at the point where we were unlikely to ever get as much for him in future while Lewis-Potter was shockingly under valued but had to make way for others. Daniel Hoey's release clause got met, f*ckn PSG
So who did we spend all this dosh on? Some decent lads
Yeah, we spent a fair whack, let's meet the important ones
VINICIUS - PALMEIRAS - £14.5m
A bit of a wonderkid is young Vinny, he should be a sound investment
OMARI HANLEY - BRISTOL CITY - £22m
A real shining light for Brizzle in spite of their relegation, picking up 7 goals, 9 assists and the Young Player of the Season award
Juan de Dios Chan - PUMAS - £1m
A great name and decent at kickball
MAURICIO GOMEZZ - DEPORTIVO CALI - £1.9m
A Colombian international for less than £2m? Yes please
Bin, Cockbill (Gomez 84), Saliba, Caselli, Jabu, Henderson (Smith 61), Gilmour, Harris, Barboza (Vinicius 61), Hanley, Calderon Disappointing to concede fairly late on

A drab 1-1 draw against Brentford ended a poor month for Fulham as they sit solidly in mid table
A first half goal from Omari Hanley was cancelled out in the second half by Brentford's Marcus Forss as Fulham ended March with just 1 victory from 6 games this month. This poor month continued Fulham's dismal league form as they have won just 2 of their last 12 league games
The month started more brightly in another London derby as the Whites left Stamford Bridge with a point following a pulsating 3-3 draw but this was followed by home defeats to Arsenal & Liverpool
Fulham's match appeared to be prolonging their poor form as they let a 2 goal lead slip in the final 6 minutes, with Villa's Dane Scarlett equalising in the 92nd minute, only Omari Hanley to ****** all three points for Fulham a minute later
4 first half goals from Manchester United however sunk Fulham at Old Trafford before today's drab fixture against Brentford. This form has left Fulham in 9th after 32 games
The encouraging sign from the United game was Fulham's Barry Bello who came on at half time to make his first team appearance at just 15 years old. Fulham have high hopes for the youngster deemed to have the potential to be a generational talent
Bin, Cockbill, Bettella, Caselli, Jabu, Berge, Harris, Acevedo (Henderson 65), Barboza (Bowie 75), Hanley, Calderon Well that's a topsy turvy game! A brilliant first half and a rather meek second half, but 3 points are three points
FULHAM 2-0 WOLVES
Goals from wingers Omari Hanley & Diego Barboza saw Fulham end the season an a high note as they comfortably dispatched Wolves by two gaols to nil
Fulham struck either side of half time to beat lowly Wolves and secure a 7th placed finish, their highest since 2020/21
Fulham fans had extra room for optimism through the impressive performance of Barry Bello who made his first league start at the age of just 15
We didn't even have to qualify for this and that's good because we've not been great under me thus far.
I have admittedly been giving out debuts left and right but we've drawn with the likes of Curacao & China so since then we've been focused on the tournament, no silly tactics. Results have improved considerably. 1-0 and 3-0 wins over Mexico and Scotland respectively in November 2027 were followed by a 2-0 victory over Sweden and a 3-0 victory over France! There's a lot of young talent here.
Our pre tournament friendlies saw us draw with Austria, smash the Faroes and lose narrowly to Germany. We can do this.
GOALKEEPERS Danny Ward (AEK Athens), Aled Derrick (Stoke City), John Coker (Wolves)
DEFENDERS Neco Williams (West Ham), Regan Poole (Blackburn), Chris Mepham (Bournemouth), Ethan Ampadu (Chelsea), Ben Davies (Shakhtar Donetsk), Rhys Norrington-Davies (Burnley), Morgan Woodfine (Burnley)
MIDFIELDERS Luke Morgan (Arsenal), Harri Stone (Fulham), Robbie Burton (Dinamo Zagreb), Dylan Levitt (FC Dallas), David James (Southampton), Chem Campbell (Real Sociedad), David Brooks (Bournemouth), Daniel James (Brighton), Harry Wilson (Lille), Rabbi Matondo (Benfica)
ATTACKERS Jack Vale (Blackburn), Lee Spruce (West Ham)
Let's do this. I may have picked 22 by mistake.
EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP GROUP B Italy 1-0 Wales
Ward, Williams, Mepham, Ampadu, Norrington-Davies, Morgan, Levitt, James, Wilson (Brooks 73), James, Spruce (Vale73) Gutting. By far the better team and we even missed a penalty only for one of my Atalanta old boys to sneak the winner home
EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP GROUP B Wales 3-2 Switzerland
Coker, Williams, Poole, Ampadu, Davies (Norrington-Davies 56), Stone (Morgan 70), Levitt, James (Burton 56), Brooks, Wilson, Vale That's more like it! A poor start but we really put on a show once we took control
EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP GROUP B Denmark 1-2 Wales
Coker, Stone, Mepham, Ampadu, Davies (Norrington-Davies 62), Morgan, Levitt, James (Campbell 62), Brooks (Wilson 75), James, Vale A nervy ending as we ended up with 9 men as both Levitt and Campbell limped off injured! Through to the knockouts though
TABLE
A good showing
EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP SECOND ROUND Norway 1-1 Wales Wales win 7-6 on penalties
Coker, Williams, Poole, Ampadu, Norrington-Davies, Stone (Campbell 83), Burton, James (Brooks 68), Wilson (Morgan 77), Matondo, Vale (Spruce 107) 23 year old John Coker makes himself a national hero as he saves two Norwegian penalties to get us through!
EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP QUARTER FINAL Germany 3-1 Wales
Coker, Williams, Mepham, Ampadu (Davies 77), Norrington-Davies, Stone (Spruce 53), Burton, Morgan, Brooks (Wilson 69), James, Vale Gutting. We were once again the better team, more shots more corners and an xG of 2.23 to their 1.16, but their superior quality told in the end. They won the whole tournament continuing Wales' run of being knocked out by the eventual winners
