    Chris: Me and my son Leo are proud Fulham season ticket holders, and we absolutely love our time at the Cottage. This photo was taken at an open training day where Leo met his favourite player Andreas Pereira and got his shirt signed - a moment he'll never forget. Matchday is something we look forward to as father and son. Fulham is such a fantastic club for families and feels like home, and we wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

    Les: I was born in Fulham in 1950. My grandparents, my mum and dad supported Fulham. I was taken at age three to watch the reserves and at six to see the first team v Leeds and John Charles. There has been no other team since.

    The best player was undoubtedly Johnny Haynes but my favourite was Graham Leggat. So many good memories of matches and players but the FA Cup final in 1975 and the Europa League run including beating Juventus stand out.

    Fulham have revealed their new 2025-26 away kit, paying tribute to their teams of the 1990s.

    The green shirt reintroduces the 1995 crest to a strip for the first time since 2001 and features a navy collar and sides with white piping, inspired by the club's 1999-2000 away kit.

    The launch was accompanied with a film, which "celebrates the period of the 90s and the adventures of following Fulham away, charting the club's highs and lows from across the era".

    The film features club legend Sean Davis alongside men's players Harry Wilson, Emile Smith Rowe and Rodrigo Muniz and women's team players Ella Tagliavini, Megalie Mendes and Jade Bradley.

  3. Who does Opta's Supercomputer predict to finish mid-table?published at 11:59 BST 6 August

    Opta's Supercomputer has once again predicted the upcoming 2025-26 Premier League season by using a model to simulate every match 10,000 times.

    Opta Supercomputer predicted final Premier League positions 2026-26: 1 Liverpool, 2 Arsenal, 3 Manchester City, 4 Chelsea, 5 Aston Villa, 6 Newcastle United, 7 Crystal Palace, 8 Brighton, 9 Bournemouth, 10 Brentford, 11 Nottingham Forest, 12 Manchester United, 13 Everton, 14 Tottenham Hotspur, 15 Fulham, 16 West Ham United, 17 Wolves, 18 Burnley, 19 Leeds United, 20 SunderlandImage source, Opta

    Manchester United only reach the Champions League in 6.7% of simulations, while Thomas Frank's new-look Tottenham only do so in 5.7%. These numbers will obviously largely be based on their underperformance last time around.

    Both are therefore predicted a mid-table finish.

    However, United are also relegated in 11.1% of simulations, meaning currently Opta's computer suggests they are more likely to go down than make the top four.

    Both Everton and Fulham are both predicted to have slightly disappointing seasons with lower mid-table finishes simulated most often by the Supercomputer.

    The latter had a productive 2024-25 campaign so may not be happy by 14.8% of simulations having them as relegated.

    For the Blues' first season at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, David Moyes' side are relegation in 12.5% of the computer's simulations.

    James: I've been a Fulham fan for as long as I can remember, and it is all down to my grandad. He supported the club from 1948 and imbued the same enthusiasm for the club on to the whole family, particularly my cousins and I. He took me to my first game as my 10th birthday present and gave me one of his scarves, which I've kept since that very day. Sadly I never really got to return the favour after he passed away last year. My family and I still miss him but, as long as Fulham are around, we'll always have a bit of him with us.

    Ben: Why do I love Fulham? Well in my first job as a chef, I worked for a catering company at a local sports centre. They also had a contract to cater for matchdays at Craven Cottage. I was 16 years old at the time and I ended up helping out with the dining for the directors and cooking for Jimmy Hill in the early 1990s. I'm still in the trade now, I've been a Fulham fan for over 30 years and I now go to games with my six-year-old son.

    'Why did you fall in love with your club?'

    This week, we have asked hundreds of football fans across the world that very question and got hundreds of different answers.

    Yes, the themes might be similar - born near a ground; family supported the team; watched a certain player - but the individual story will be unique to each supporter.

    The relationship between a fan and their club should not be underestimated, with people ploughing uncountable amounts of money, time and emotional energy into their support for their team.

    But what is that makes us love our clubs the way we do?

    "A lot of it comes down to our identity," researcher and co-writer of the Routledge Handbook of Sport Fans and Fandom Danielle Sarver Coombs told BBC Sport.

    "We become part of this group that means so much to us. It becomes a way to find a community that you're a part of and to find a group of people that, no matter where you are, you could find a pub with other fans of your team. You have that kinship.

    "In a world that's increasingly quite lonely, this provides one of the ways that we can have connections so we can have the feeling that we're part of something bigger."

    Connection and identity plays a big role in someone's love for their club - particularly when it is a family link.

    Many fans talk of being born into who they support - that the connection is so strong there was no other team they could, or would, have chosen.

    "The great thing with football is that there's such a strong heritage component to it," Sarver Coombs said. "Often, your grandfather, father, mother or whomever was a fan of the team, so it's part of your family's tradition.

    "It's handed down from generation to generation."

    The uniqueness of football fandom is something researchers are increasingly investigating.

    An article, external published earlier this year in psychology journal Frontiers discusses how football fans often follow follow teams with 'significant attachment and commitment, sometimes to the bewilderment of those outside of the game'.

    "With football clubs, you have decades of tradition that you can tap into and it's going to keep coming," Sarver Coombs added.

    "Players come and go, managers come and go, shirts change, badges change, but the club itself - the heart and soul of it remains constant. You always have that piece that you're tied to, so the longevity of clubs is a really important part.

    "But also, that constant in-person opportunity to be present in a community space really sets football apart from other passions that may be transient or do not have that constant engagement."

  6. 'My grandma was born in the original cottage' - fan storiespublished at 11:49 BST 4 August

    We know the relationship between a football fan and their club is a special one so, as we gear up for the new season, we asked you to share why you fell in love with Fulham and some of your favourite moments supporting them.

    Nick: Fulham were our local team, my father's family lived on Greyhound Road, my mother's on Everington Street. My great-great grandmother was born in the original Craven Cottage that stood before the stadium was built.

    When I was an eight-year-old lad, my grandfather and I were stood outside the gates one weekday afternoon. A chap was taking various items from his car into the Cottage, and he asked my grandad if there was anything he wanted.

    Grandad explained about my grandmother being born in the Cottage, whereupon we were whisked in to meet Alec Stock. I have only vague recollections of this, but my grandad remarked to the rest of my family that as a lifelong Fulham supporter, it took his grandson to finally get him into the Cottage!

    Eric: Became a Fulham fan in Ghana, long before they hit the news in the Premier League. All my friends have known since 2002 that it's Fulham and no other. For 23 years now, I have won my kits with pride. I remember when we played Atletico Madrid on the 12 May 2010. It was my 35th birthday and I was on a business trip in Guangzhou, China and had to stay awake for the game. Even though we lost, I remember going to bed with so much pride.

    Les: I was born in Fulham in 1950. My grandparents, my mum and dad supported Fulham. I was taken at age three to watch the reserves and then at six to see the first team against Leeds and John Charles. There has been no other team since. The best player was undoubtedly Johnny Haynes but my favourite was Graham Leggat.

    I have so many good memories of matches and players but the FA Cup final in 1975 and the Europa League run when we beat Juventus stand out.

    On Monday, we asked you to tell us why you fell in love with Fulham and some of your favourite moments supporting them.

    You have already been getting in touch with your photos and stories and here is just a taste from Keith:

    My love for Fulham Football Club stretches over 4,000 miles—from the banks of the River Thames to the shores of Wilmington, North Carolina.

    Supporting Fulham from across the Atlantic hasn't always been easy. Kickoffs can be as early as 7 a.m. local time, and I've had to shape my weekends around match days, live streams, and texts from mates in the UK.

    But despite the time zones and travel, this connection to Fulham has become a defining part of my life. Being a American Fulham supporter from the United States might be rare, but for me, it's never felt foreign. The Cottage feels like home. Fulham feels like family.

    And no matter where I am—at the Cottage, watching from Wilmington, — I'll always back the Whites.

    So join the conversation and send your best photos about why you love Fulham.

  8. Muniz makes most of limited opportunities - so could he move?published at 14:01 BST 31 July

    Newcastle are the latest club linked with Fulham striker Rodrigo Muniz, who is also being linked with Leeds and Atalanta. The 24-year-old has struggled to nail down a starting spot at Craven Cottage, often playing second fiddle to Raul Jimenez over the past two seasons.

    But he has attracted attention from potential suitors by making the most of limited opportunities. The Brazilian opened his Premier League account in a 2-2 draw at Burnley in February 2024, the first of 17 top-flight goals in the space of 16 months.

    During this time he averages a goal every 128 minutes, the sixth best record in the competition. The only players to post better figures are Alexander Isak, Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah – arguably the league's three best forwards – plus Jhon Duran and Richarlison, both of whom mainly profited as impact substitutes.

    Muniz has proved himself a clinical finisher over this period, outperforming his expected goals tally by 3.46, while also excelling in the air. Though hardly a giant at 6ft 1in, he has won an average of five aerial duels per 90 minutes since February 2024, the fourth best record of any players to appear regularly in the top flight.

    Leeds have repeatedly targeted tall players this summer and Muniz's physicality could be a real asset to the newly promoted side. Winning a starting role at Newcastle or Atalanta may prove more challenging, but those clubs could offer the enticing prospect of Champions League football.

    However, Fulham have yet to sign an outfield player this summer and they may be reluctant to let Muniz move on without first having a replacement lined up.

    A graphic showing the top six Premier League players with the fewest minutes per league goal since February 2024.
	                    Games	Starts	Goals	Mins/goal
Jhon Duran	        29	            7	          10	               91

    Fulham striker Rodrigo Muniz has been shortlisted by Italian club Atalanta as they seek a replacement for Mateo Retegui.

    Muniz, 24, has just one year left on his contract at Craven Cottage but the club also retain an option to extend the Brazilian's contract by a further year, leaving the west Londoners in some control of his destiny.

    However, Atalanta have funds after qualifying for the Champions League and selling Retegui, the top scorer in Italy's Serie A last season, to Saudi Pro League club Al-Qadsiah for a reported £56m fee.

    Fulham claimed a comfortable 3-1 victory over Premier League rivals Nottingham Forest thanks to a brilliant brace from forward Harry Wilson, as both sides continued their preparations for the 2025-26 campaign.

    Marco Silva gave minutes to 21 different players during the first friendly of their Portugal training camp, as his side cruised to their third pre-season victory at Estadio de Sao Luis.

    Nuno Espirito Santo took a similar approach, handing summer signing Jair Cunha his first minutes in a Nottingham Forest shirt and giving starts to academy quintet Jimmy Sinclair, Aaron Bott, Josh Powell, Adam Berry and Archie Whitehall.

    The Cottagers are set to face Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad in their next pre-season friendly, while Primeira Liga side Estoril Praia await the Reds. Both matches are set to be played on Wednesday, 30 July.

    Fulham have signed French goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte from Ligue 2 Montpellier on a two-year deal.

    The 34-year-old, who has 329 Ligue 1 appearances to his name, is the first summer arrival at Craven Cottage.

    The experienced shot-stopper will provide cover and competition for first-choice goalkeeper Bernd Leno next season, after Steven Benda joined Championship side Millwall on a season-long loan earlier this week.

    Speaking to FFCtv, external after penning his deal, Lecomte said: "I'm really happy and proud to join Fulham because it is a new step in my career and I think it will be really nice to be part of the club."

  14. Fulham join race for Sterling and interested in Dewsbury-Hallpublished at 12:32 BST 25 July

    Fulham have expressed an interest in signing both Raheem Sterling and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Chelsea this summer.

    Sterling, 30, has no future at Stamford Bridge and is among a group of a dozen or so players training away from the first team in what has been nicknamed the 'bomb squad'.

    Chelsea's strong preference remains to sell Sterling and they have placed a £20m asking price on the winger, although his £300,000-a-week contract still has two years to run, making any deal out of the club more complicated.

    Arsenal previously agreed to split the wage when signing him on loan last season, but even a 50-50 split would be a stretch for Fulham's comparatively modest wage bill.

    Fulham would have to compete against Champions League clubs like Bayer Leverkusen, while Juventus and Napoli have also been credited with an interest.

    They would, however, be attractive to Sterling, who could remain in his family home in London, with his son, Thiago, recently joining Arsenal's academy.

    The Whites remain the only Premier League club yet to make a signing, but they are calm about the situation and aim to keep Marco Silva's current squad together, having made contact to re-sign former loanee Reiss Nelson from Arsenal.

    Meanwhile, Dewsbury-Hall remains valued as a Blues squad player rather than an automatic starter and there is no sense he is pushing for a move, with West Ham also reportedly interested in signing the midfielder if the terms are favourable.

    Fulham have confirmed teenage midfielder Seth Ridgeon has signed a long-term contract with the club.

    The 16-year-old, who joined Fulham at the age of eight, described the deal as a "dream come true" and said the club is the best place for his development.

    Speaking to FFCtv, external, Ridgeon said: "It's a very proud moment for me. I've been at the club since I was eight and gone all the way through, and now it's a dream come true to sign with my boyhood club to keep the journey going.

    "Signing here for a lengthy period shows that Fulham produce young players and allow them to have the opportunity here.

    "I think it's the best place to be for my development."

    Ridgeon made the step up to under-21s football last season and captained England Under-17s at this summer's European Championship.

    Fulham defeated Championship side West Bromwich Albion 1-0 in a friendly played behind closed doors on Tuesday.

    Featuring 22 players throughout the match, the only goal came from Emile Smith Rowe as he slotted home from a Sander Berge through-ball.

    Marco Silva's side will now travel to Portugal for a training camp, during which time they will face fellow Premier League club Nottingham Forest.

    They will take on German club Eintracht Frankfurt at Craven Cottage on 9 August, before starting the new Premier League campaign at Brighton on 16 August.

  17. 'It's genuinely worrying' - fans on summer business published at 11:31 BST 17 July

    We asked for your views on Fulham's lack of business so far in the window and their approach to re-sign Reiss Nelson.

    Here are some of your comments:

    Chris A: The Khans typically leave their summer signings late in the window, but this time there isn't even a whiff of speculation, let alone action. It's genuinely worrying. We're supposed to be building a squad to push for Europe, at this rate we'll be battling to stay up.

    Richard: Fulham's fan base is very frustrated with the lack of transfers, a mirror image of what has happened in previous seasons. We are not mollified by the painfully slow re-signing of Cairney and Tete whose contracts had expired - welcome though that is. Fresh blood is needed if the club is to develop. Wake up management!

    Peter: Transfers? To little to late. I thought we would bring Palhinha and Harvey Elliott back.Hope Ryan Sessignon shines like the old days. Marco Silva is working hard to get the team to gel. Iwobi was a revelation. Sadly after 50 years of supporting my only team it will be the same old Fulham. Give us something to cheer. A trophy but not relegation.

    George: Re-signing Nelson on a loan just shows the lack of ambition by our owners, we are more than happy finishing mid-table and show absolutely no hope of kicking on into Europe. Less than one month until the start of the season and yet again our business has been left too late.

    Fulham Talker: As far as first signings go this will be very underwhelming. Our first move for a player is a loan and towards the end of July is a joke. Nelson is a good player but injuries are a concern, and it doesn't really improve our squad whatsoever. We can and should be doing better, and stop taking players from Arsenal.

    Chris: We always take time to do our business, but we made no signings in January and it's clear we need to kick on. Marco indicated a couple of months ago the plans for the summer were in place and a month before the new season we have no new faces through the door.
