Fulham fans and memes of cheeseboards on trains: How much truth is in them?

Fulham fans have been ridiculed for their posh matchday food
“It would be difficult to describe any English football fanbase as truly unique, but there are undoubtedly different characteristics that separate club from club. These can be defined by history, success, geography or class. Some have become inflated stereotypes; Arsenal’s supporters, for example, have a reputation for being jumped-up internet keyboard warriors (be kind in the comments), while their Newcastle United counterparts are thought of as extremely passionate, long-suffering (until recently), fond of taking their tops off regardless of the weather and having tattoos of Alan Shearer. Then there are Fulham’s followers. They eat cheese on trains. …”

Liverpool were shambolic against Spurs. Arne Slot cannot afford another game like this

“The contrast could hardly have been greater. On Tottenham Hotspur’s previous visit to Anfield 11 months earlier, Arne Slot’s name was chanted repeatedly by the Kop.

Liverpool 1 Tottenham 1: Richarlison rescues Spurs, Szoboszlai free kick not enough for Slot


Richarlison celebrates his goal
“A late Richarlison goal gave Tottenham a vital point in their fight against relegation and left Liverpool scratching their heads at Anfield after a disjointed display. Dominik Szoboszlai had given Arne Slot’s side the lead in the first half with another goal direct from a free kick. But after that, the home side tailed off, producing little of note, despite an impressive first start for 17-year-old Rio Ngumoha. …”
