Nobody could get near Toby Collyer

Successful dribbles: 41. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Kieran Dowell breaks a bone — 90 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 90 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market31 Aug 2026

John Egan 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 Hull City can pretend not to have heard.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Hull City

Oli McBurnie was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match29 Aug 2026

Derby County take the points off Hull City

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Mohamed Belloumi gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Eliot Matazo falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market31 Aug 2026

Hull City put Eliot Matazo up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Eliot Matazo may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Off the bench and decisive: Lewis Koumas

The substitution nobody applauded turned out to be the whole story. Hull City were going nowhere until he came on.

Nobody could get near Emile Smith Rowe

Successful dribbles: 25. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market17 Aug 2026

Rotherham United come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Fulham did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad17 Aug 2026

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.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Fulham

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Match15 Aug 2026

Rodrigo Muniz the difference as Fulham beat Middlesbrough

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Rodrigo Muniz. 2‑0 against Middlesbrough, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

One of our own: Matthew Kelly joins the Fulham first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Matthew Kelly is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market17 Aug 2026

Fulham promote Nicholas Edwards from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Nicholas Edwards has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Fulham promote Richard Roberts from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Richard Roberts has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Samuel Chukwueze falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

A move Conor Townsend would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Conor Townsend is living that version at Fulham, and it tends to show in the first month.

Market10 Aug 2026

Newcastle United come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Fulham did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market10 Aug 2026

Emile Smith Rowe raises the bar for Fulham

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Fulham heard it as anything else.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Antonee Robinson signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Antonee Robinson commits to Fulham for another 4 years.
