  1. What's Fulham's greatest save?published at 11:59 23 March

    Your views graphic

    We asked our fan writer for the best save they have seen from a Fulham goalkeeper and Edwin van der Sar's performance against Arsenal got the nod.

    Now it's your turn. Here are some of your selections:

    Colin: I have supported Fulham since the 1945 season and have seen many great saves from some great goalkeepers. The save that I recall frequently was by keeper Tony Macedo during the 1958 semi-final against Manchester United at Villa Park. At 2-2, Bobby Charlton hit a shot from the edge of the penalty area - as only Charlton could. It was a brilliant stop.

    David: Mark Schwarzer late on at home to Shakhtar in the Europa League run. The shot was heading into the top corner and we were directly behind it in the Putney End - amazing save.

    Aidan: Bernd Leno has had a season full to the brim of incredible saves so I think he deserves credit for them.

  2. 'Mitrovic clearly deserves a ban, but talk of 10 games is ludicrous'published at 12:52 21 March

    Fulham Tuesday talking point graphic

    Sunday's defeat by Manchester United was one of the most heart-breaking Fulham games I've ever watched. To have such a famous win and a semi-final in our grasp like that and then to blow it so spectacularly was pretty tough to take.

    Much has been made of Aleksandar Mitrovic's antics and what his punishment should be. For me, Mitrovic clearly deserves a ban, but talk of 10 games by Chris Sutton and other pundits is ludicrous.

    Paolo di Canio received an 11-match ban for his referee push back in 1998 and we can't be seriously comparing Mitrovic's actions to that. It was a moment of stupidity but there are levels of severity and Mitro was nowhere near that. My opinion is that five to six games is appropriate.

    My hope is that this series of events will galvanise the team and build a bit of a siege mentality. I feel like the squad will be determined to make amends for this missed opportunity, and hopefully they can get some kind of retribution in the league. A top-10 finish and even Europe are both very much within reach.

    Sunday will sting for a long time, but hopefully Marco, Mitro and co can channel the disappointment towards something even better in the future.

  3. How did Silva contribute to Fulham's FA Cup exit?published at 11:03 21 March

    Did Marco Silva's increasing intensity on the touchline contribute to Fulham's meltdown on Sunday?

    The latest episode of BBC Radio London's The Far Post podcast investigates the incident that toppled their FA Cup campaign at Manchester United on Saturday - and suggests the frustration on the sidelines could have raised temperature levels for the Cottagers.

    "We have seen Silva getting animated in recent weeks and I wonder if that type of reaction from your leader does translate to the players," said Phil Parry, BBC Radio London commentator.

    "Small margins can really make a difference. I can completely understand Silva getting heated because of the competitive way he is and all the pressure on the season.

    "It was such a shame as Fulham were in a really good position. They needed everyone to reset, calm down and keep themselves in check - but it's easier said than done."

    Silva recently served a touchline ban after receiving his fourth yellow card of the season against Chelsea before his dismissal at Old Trafford.

    Former Charlton and Reading defender Steve Brown, however, suggested the Fulham boss' passion would rub off in a positive way.

    "Sometimes when your manager is losing it on the sidelines, it gives you that extra oomph on the pitch," he said. "You see his passion and feel he's sticking up for you.

    "Of course there is a line about how to do it but as your leader it can help you."

  4. 'There needs to be an example made of Mitrovic'published at 09:29 21 March

    New York Times chief soccer correspondent Rory Smith said an example needs to be made of Aleksandar Mitrovic after his behaviour towards referee Chris Kavanagh at Old Trafford on Sunday.

    The Football Association said its standard punishment for his sending off at Manchester United was "clearly insufficient".

    Smith told BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club: "Mitrovic was beyond stupid, totally mindless. He’s got to be banned for quite a long time for that, surely.

    "There was aggression in what Mitrovic did and I think that has to be punished extremely severely.

    "There has to be an example made of Mitrovic. If the Premier League and the FA don’t make an example of it, then they can’t really complain about what follows."

    Chris Sutton added: "There needs to be an example made of Mitrovic because it will filter down the chain. If young kids are seeing Premier League players pushing referees and being super aggressive, it will happen.

    "I think Bruno Fernandes should have had a lengthy ban as well for his push because there needs to be clarity. Di Canio got 11 games in 1998 and Mitrovic was just as bad wasn’t it in terms of his aggressive behaviour?

    "This cannot be allowed to just be a three-game ban."

  5. 'At amateur level, it'd be about a year's ban'published at 18:40 20 March

    Aleksandar Mitrovic's behaviour towards referee Chris Kavanagh in Fulham's FA Cup defeat at Manchester United was "absolutely disgraceful", according to the president of the Referees' Association Paul Field.

    The Serbia striker grabbed hold of Kavanagh's arm to protest against his decision to send off Willian for a handball on the goal-line.

    Mitrovic was subsequently given his marching orders, as was boss Marco Silva. Field told BBC Radio 5 Live Drive that the Football Association should hand him an appropriate punishment.

    "I hope it's more than 10 games," said Field. "That only really goes through to the end of the season.

    "Think about what Eric Cantona did nearly 30 years ago and he got nine months. I think they should put a really decent time on this."

    Field cited the impact of professional footballers' disrespect for referees on football at grassroots level, after a damning report in February suggested hundreds of officials feared for their safety.

    "Referees put up with this week in, week out, " he said. "At an amateur level, a player is looking at about a year's ban - why doesn't that carry through to the professional game?

    "I also think it is akin to community service. Why not [Mitrovic] go down to [referee] one of our games in London, with pitches in poor condition, it's pouring with rain, there are no changing facilities and every player is looking to pull one over you.

    "And then you get abused by the parents."

  7. 'There should be a lengthy punishment'published at 16:03 20 March

    There is "100%" a link between behaviour fans see on the pitch and how players at grass-roots level behave.

    That is the view of referee Simon King, who officiates at grass roots level.

    He was speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live in the wake of Fulham's Aleksandar Mitrovic being sent off for placing his hands on referee Chris Kavanagh at Manchester United on Sunday.

    "I was stunned. The stalking and intimidation, having to be forcibly dragged away," said King.

    "My first thought was what would have happened had he not have been dragged away by his own team-mates and I think some of the Manchester United players helped get him away from the referee.

    "When he initially put his hands on him you cannot do that. It's quite frightening that happens at the top level."

    Asked if there is a link between how elite players behave and how young participants conduct themselves, King added: "Yes 100%. There is a link. Chris Sutton said people will see that happening, at junior football, at small sided, and they may feel they can do that. There should be a lengthy punishment.

    "Marco Silva mentioned Mitrovic must control his emotions better and then went into another rant about the referee. So it was a one liner and then 'we don't like this referee' - negative opinions about his performance."

    King said he would "100%" support a lengthy ban for the striker, adding: "A statement needs to be made to everybody. If that was to happen at any level of football, the ban should be set. People should be aware beforehand."

  8. Your thoughts on Sunday's gamepublished at 12:30 20 March

    Your Views

    We asked for your views on Sunday's FA Cup game between Manchester United and Fulham.

    Here are some of your comments:

    Manchester United fans

    Akin: United got lucky, but all cup runs need some luck. Fulham hit the self-destruct button. United under Ten Hag are ready to challenge for the title with another one or two transfer windows.

    Dazz: We, United, looked tired and at times poor. The first half was shocking. How Maguire gets a start is beyond me. The red cards were the turning point and from then on we punished Fulham. Old Trafford was as noisy as ever on the full-time whistle.

    Marvin: United looked tired. Another goal from a set-piece. Fortunately, for them, Fulham self-destructed. Results matter and few will remember the sending-offs.

    Agim: Was it a good performance form Manchester United? Probably not! Fulham took full advantage of that, then discipline let them down! We definitely need to perform better, some of the passing was terrible. Maguire and McTominay can't be there playing next season - just not good enough.

    Fulham fans

    George: It was a definite penalty and Willian had to go. Mitro has got to get a season-ending ban, you can never be that aggressive to a ref.

    Sarah: Supported Fulham for 30 years, several ups and a few downs. After that performance I feel embarrassed to be a Fulham fan. Mitro and Silva should be ashamed. We call ourselves a family-friendly club. We are having a fantastic season but that has left a very sour taste. Furious.

    Murray: We were the better side up until the sending off. No need for Mitro to get involved. Let himself down and the club. Mr Silva should have had more composure.

    Benjamin: Really disappointed. So good for so long. Willian took the red on the chin. I'm sorry but both Marco and Mitro need to keep their head.

  9. 'You cannot lay your hand on an official'published at 12:22 20 March

    Aleksandar Mitrovic receives a red card

    Former Premier League striker Chris Sutton says that Fulham's Aleksandar Mitrovic should receive a 10-game ban for pushing referee Chris Kavanagh in Sunday's 3-1 FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Manchester United.

    Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live Sutton said: "He saw the red mist. That's no excuse. You cannot lay your hand on an official.

    "In my opinion, it will impact further down the chain at grassroots level," said Sutton, who added that he felt Bruno Fernandes should have received the same ban for appearing to push an official during United's 7-0 defeat by Liverpool.

    "There will be kids watching the game today who think, 'well if Mitrovic can do it, so can I'."

  10. 'I don’t see three red cards ever happening to one of the big clubs'published at 08:20 20 March

    Journalist Luke Edwards said Aleksandar Mitrovic's actions against Manchester United were unacceptable, but he wants to see consistency with the way different teams are punished.

    The striker was sent off for grabbing referee Chris Kavanagh, moments after Willian was dismissed for handball and manager Marco Silva was sent from the touchline.

    Edwards told BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily: "There is no way that a Manchester United or Liverpool or Chelsea or Arsenal would get three red cards shown in that period of time within three minutes.

    "They just wouldn’t, it wouldn’t happen. Jurgen Klopp wouldn’t have been sent to the stands, Erik ten Hag wouldn’t have been sent to the stands like Silva was.

    "Fulham imploded and they only have themselves to blame for losing control, but emotions were high and what I balked at a little bit was I felt those decisions were made because it was Fulham and it was Mitrovic.

    "I don’t see three red cards ever happening to one of the big clubs. Fulham have been a bit unfortunate there, but it is unacceptable what Mitrovic did.

    "He did manhandle the official, but I would just like to see some consistency there. The big cubs get the benefit of these decisions and Fulham were punished to the letter of the law."

    Did you know? Fulham were shown two red cards (Willian and Mitrovic) in a single game for the first time since November 2009 in the UEFA Europa League versus Roma.

  11. Man United 3-1 Fulham: What Silva saidpublished at 19:00 19 March

    Fulham boss Marco Silva to BBC MOTD: “For 75 minutes, playing at Old Trafford against a very good side, we are the best team on the pitch, clearly. The players stuck to the plan, we were brave to control the game against Manchester United and I believe we clearly showed our quality.

    “Even if I haven’t done something special, I have to control myself. I didn’t say anything special to the ref, he didn’t listen and showed me the red card. It is a moment to control my emotions. The game was decided in the moment.

    “It is a shame the ref wasn’t shown VAR for the first-half moments. It is difficult to be Fulham at Old Trafford, the VAR feels the pressure too. For us it is difficult to understand why they didn’t do the same."

    On the red cards: “With Willian, if he feels the player did it on purpose, he should give the red card. If the VAR decides, then it’s clear. Mitro should control his emotions a bit. I would like to check if they did the same with other players this season, but we should have emotional control in the moment.

    “If he wants to give me the red card I have to accept it because he didn’t listen to me at all. As I left my area I have to accept it.

    "Of course it is a moment for him [Mitro] to learn. He was involved in two situations in the box, the ref didn’t check, he has to be in control of the moment.”

  14. Sutton's predictions: Man Utd v Fulhampublished at 16:34 17 March

    For this week's Premier League and FA Cup predictions Chris Sutton faces Black Honey guitarist Chris Ostler.

    Sutton's prediction: 2-1

    Manchester United just seem to be having a little blip in the Premier League and Casemiro's suspension - he starts a four-game ban after being sent off against Southampton - worries me a bit.

    But Fulham come into this game after a couple of disappointing results too - Arsenal absolutely wiped the floor with them last weekend, and they might be running out of steam.

    Chris Ostler's prediction: 4-1

    I am going with United to win, and win big. I feel like they might have a point to prove.
