Summary

Sammy is joined by Dan Cooke on the Thursday Club as they take one last look back on a win against Wigan. As a reward for surviving a trip to the north-west, Fulham have drawn Manchester United in the fifth round of the FA Cup and there are mixed feelings. Premonitions of a majestic victory over Man United at Old Trafford is the optimistic option in comparison to the perhaps realistic expectation that Fulham will yet again succumb to a frustrating 1-0 defeat. The road to Wembley is never easy.

In part two, Sammy and Dan look forward to a tough fixture against Nottingham Forest at the Cottage. Assuming that Forest players and fans have recovered from an 11pm finish in Exeter, Fulham will have to change their mentality to face a Nuno side that have had an incredible season so far. The question still remains of whether Pereira or Smith Rowe should appear on the start sheet and if Muniz's February form should be given a chance to flourish.

They also answer some of your listener questions. Should Alistair Mackintosh be the main focus of Fulham fans' anger or should they be looking further up the business ladder? Is Castagne's form faltering a little too much? And, Sammy and Dan make their head vs heart predictions for Fulham's final league position and FA Cup run.

0:00.0	Ladies and gentlemen, it is Showtime. Please welcome the team of the Fulamish podcast.
0:12.4	It is the Fulamish podcast for independent voice of Fulmese. My name is Sammy James. Welcome to the show.
0:17.9	Today we are looking ahead to Saturday's game against Nottingham Forest. Back at Craven Cottage, it feels like an age. But we have two home games in a row, both Saturday, three o'clock, just as the weather's getting better as well. Maybe we are in for a glorious February. Also, we'll have the final word on our win over Wigan and reaction to that Cup draw against Manchester United away.
0:41.5	Jack Collins is off today, doing bigger and better things, presumably.
0:46.4	So Dan Cook has stepped in.
0:47.7	Hello.
0:48.3	Hello, hello.
0:48.8	How we doing?

0:54.8	I mean, this is my second in-studio appearance, both after Cup games against rubbish teams,
1:02.3	who we have also played rubbish against.
1:03.8	And I feel a little bit like Stephen Bender.
1:07.6	God, that was an early mention for Stephen Bender, the comedy roast of Stephen Bender, as I now title Monday's podcast, poor old Stephen Bender.
1:18.6	And let's come on to that first, actually, as you've brought it up. I listened to Monday's pod and I wasn't at Wiggin.
1:28.9	And whilst I was a bit concerned by the mistake that, you know,
1:35.2	it was ended up being quite clearly offside from a Wigan perspective,
1:39.9	whilst I am concerned about the, you know, performance of Stephen Bender as a number two,
