Seth Ridgeon hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Fulham can pretend not to have heard.

6 saves: Bernd Leno was the team
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Stephen King: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Fulham have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Alex Iwobi in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Fulham this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Jonah Kusi-Asare is the division's best young player this month
At 19 he has spent a month being better than everybody his age in the league, which is a different and harder thing than one good afternoon. Fulham will try very hard not to make too much of it.
