Summary

Sammy and Jack are joined on the Thursday Club this week by Dan Crawford as they take another look back to a brilliant weekend win at the Cottage over Nottingham Forest. To begin the pod, Dan shares his memories of Patrick Barclay as Fulhamish pays tribute to an inspiring and hard-working man, following the desperately sad news of his death.

They debate as to whether switching between Muniz and Jiminez has worked this season and reflect on an all-round established performance from Adama Traore. Looking forward to a home tie against Crystal Palace, they discuss what could be quite an unpredictable result with Fulham's favouritism of achieving glamorous wins and tendency to turn their back on the teams in the bottom half of the table. It has been twenty years since Fulham's last home win against Palace and an another assured performance like at the weekend would demonstrate the team's intent to stay well off the beach.

With tickets for the Manchester United cup tie being released, they react to the unsurprising high ticket prices that fans are faced with. They point towards the additional elements of attending away games such as train strikes, game scheduling and the FA's own responsibility towards enforcing restraints on clubs. The restrictions on bringing in bags to the Palace game only adds to frustrations directed towards the board.

0:18.7	Today we're going to look ahead to Fulham's game against Palace at Craven Cottage on Saturday. Can we build on our last two wins? Maybe make it three league wins in a row.

2:02.0	Paddy was somebody who, and I can't believe we're speaking about him in the past tense, Paddy is someone who was immensely encouraging of anyone who wanted to ride or talk about football or anything,
2:08.1	frankly. And the first thing to say is he loved the two of you and the podcast that you
