Former Fulham and Benfica striker Carlos Vinicius managed to turn an already simmering Brazilian derby into a full-blown riot with nothing more than a plastic water bottle. Representing Gremio in the second leg of the Campeonato Gaucho final against arch-rivals Internacional, the Brazilian forward proved he hasn't lost his knack for getting under the skin of his opponents.
Fulham manager Marco Silva has staunchly defended his heavily rotated squad following a shocking 1-0 FA Cup fifth-round defeat to Championship side Southampton. Despite making nine changes to his starting eleven, the Portuguese tactician refused to use a controversial disallowed goal as an excuse, instead pointing to his team's overall poor performance and demanding better execution.
The debate over who is the greatest player of all time usually begins and ends with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, but Fulham striker Raul Jimenez believes there is one specific department where he stands head and shoulders above the legendary duo.

The London club, currently navigating a turbulent period under interim manager Igor Tudor, have reached out directly to PGMOL chief Howard Webb to express their growing frustration. The correspondence reportedly focuses heavily on a perceived lack of uniformity in how contact inside the penalty area is being officiated, specifically regarding goals that have been either awarded or chalked off in high-stakes moments.
Nuno Espirito Santo has strictly forbidden Adama Traore from lifting weights at West Ham's Rush Green training ground, citing the winger's "incredible" natural physique. The Hammers boss insists the Spaniard must avoid the gym to maintain his agility after his January move from Fulham. Despite the player's fearsome muscular frame, Nuno believes further strength training would be counterproductive to his explosive style of play.
Arsenal might be leading the way on the pitch as they chase a first Premier League title in over two decades, but off it, they have secured a much less desirable accolade. A comprehensive new study has revealed that the Gunnersâ faithful have been named the most disliked fanbase in the English top flight. The research, which highlights the tribal nature of modern football, suggests that the north London clubâs return to the summit of the game has brought with it a significant wave of external hostility from rival supporters across social media platforms.
The Premier League has been forced to issue an embarrassing climbdown after deleting a social media video that openly mocked Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario. The north London club's miserable run of form hit a new low with a 2-1 defeat against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday, but the frustration of the Spurs faithful was exacerbated when the league's official account appeared to join in on the criticism. Following a significant online backlash and a formal complaint from the club, the clip was removed from public view on Monday morning.
Micky van de Ven has been accused of "shrinking" just when Tottenham Hotspur need him most, with warnings that his lack of leadership could scupper a dream move to a European heavyweight.

Tottenham Hotspurâs freefall reached a new low on Sunday afternoon as Igor Tudorâs side slumped to a 2-1 defeat against Fulham at Craven Cottage. The result extends Spursâ miserable winless run to 10 matches in all competitions, a sequence that has seen the North London club edge closer to the relegation zone. While Richarlison managed to find the net, it was not enough to mask a performance that interim manager Igor Tudor described in scathing terms, directing his ire at both the match officials and his own squadâs application.
Tottenham Hotspurâs interim head coach Igor Tudor has wasted no time in laying down the law in north London, warning his squad that he has zero interest in whether they enjoy his 'shock-and-awe' training methods.

USMNT star Ricardo Pepi continues to see a move to Fulham speculated on, having missed out on a switch to Craven Cottage during the winter transfer window of 2026.

Erling Haaland scored his first open-play goal in nearly two months as Manchester City fired another warning to Arsenal in the Premier League title race with a 3-0 win over Fulham.

Iwobi suffered a hand injury during the game which ended in a 3-2 win for the Red Devils courtesy of substitute Benjamin Sesko's dramatic late winner.
Famously, the January transfer window is the more difficult of the two to operate in. It's hard to persuade other clubs to give up assets mid-season, sometimes even harder to convince players that they're better off making a move immediately rather than waiting until the following summer. But that doesn't mean deals are impossible, or that you can't get good value for your buck.
Fulhamâs ambitious deadline-beating swoop for Ricardo Pepi has collapsed in dramatic fashion after PSV pulled the plug on the âŹ37 million deal.
