The reason this is a thing Swansea City head to south London on Wednesday undefeated in the last four games with three draws and a win. Fulham are going through a slight blip bit are favourites to take all the points in this game. Manager Marco Silva isn’t under any pressure as yet but if the swans do pull off a result as Reading did earlier in the month, then he may well start to feel some pressure.
Fulham facts and stuff Fulham used to be in Kent before it was moved to ‘Sarf Landan’ It’s a friendly place, full of people who want to run antique shops and deli’s that open for an hour on a Sunday morning. Bananarama live inside Craven Cottage and have done so since the cruel summer of 1983. An example of how posh the area is - The Hurlingham, which famous for polo, golf and croquet with its Georgian clubhouse nestled amongst stunning 42 acre grounds is in Fulham. It has a fifteen year waiting list. This of course is a long time to wait for anything. Especially for a snobby English game called croquet, by the time you get a game bats will have changed design dramatically. And probably be made out of cheese. Fulham is an area belonging to an Anglo-Saxon area called Fulla, but rather than the usual 'ham' meaning homestead, this one was originally 'hamm', signifying a bend in the river. Nothing like a bend in your river. Clearly this is wrong as it’s now historically accepted that Fulham changed its name in 1954 after the great riots of greatness. The riots were remembered as being so great they were copied in 1982 in Brixton which at the time was in Bedford.
Pruton’s pear shaped prediction “Fulham have just slipped a little in recent games in terms of results, and have at times looked a little less than the sum of their parts. It just proves how tough this league is, considering there was early talk of how they may well have run away with it. “Swansea got back to winning ways on Saturday with a narrow victory over Huddersfield. It will have done Russell Martin the world of good in what is surely a season of consolidation for them, but I think Fulham will have too much at Craven Cottage.”

It's not the same team as the last 2 seasons so that is as far as I will read that post.
Quicker fans realise that this team is different and can't be compared to the orevious 2 season..... the quicker they will realise the challenges at hand.
Magic, well said. It sounds obvious, but many are struggling to keep up with reality.

Wow, form varies throughout the season?
Highlighting Cooper's first 36 games (excellent achievement) and his last 10 (absolutely woeful) clearly isn't cherry picking, particularly as RM has now completed his first 10 league games.
No myths here. No nonsense. Just facts (and we all love facts).
As you were.
You dont think form varies throughout a season?
Taking Coopers last 10 is absolutely cherry picking. Why not last 25 for example.
You are creating myths by selectively taking the worst parts of a season and comparing it against another managers best. Its a pointless exercise.
Quite telling however that you describe 11 points from 10 games (Coopers last 10) as “absolutely woeful”…. I would love to hear how you describe Martins 10 from 10. “Absolutely even more woeful”?
If you wish to take Coopers last 10 games of the season and compare them to Martins last 10 of the season from the same time period in the year then thats one thing..
As it stands the most comparative data we have is Coopers first 10 games to Martins first 10 games, anything created outside that realm is done so with the outcome already in mind.
As you were.

Of course its obvious they are partly different teams.
Not sure why that matters. This one has been given the second highest spend in thr clubs football league history and third highest spend of any Championship club this season to better it.
Which in fairness I think he has, I wouldnt be swapping our current players for last seasons players.

Fruit picking aside, Coop's last 10 games yielded 8 pts (W2,D2,L6), not 11. Alternative facts, eh?
I offer truth, not myth. Martin's tally a handsome 25% uplift on Steve's. Common sense.
So, no, not "even more woeful". A shade disappointing, yes, I'll admit that, but we go again tomorrow just 6 points off the playoffs.
I graciously accept your apology in advance.
