00:00 We're just leaving Fulham after an emphatic 5-0 win for the Whites over Nottingham Forest.
00:06 A struggling Forest and a pretty dejected boss, Steve Cooper, who couldn't have been
00:13 more clear about the situation, saying he'll do whatever's best for the club, whatever
00:17 that means, and that might very well mean that he pays with his job, potentially in
00:21 the next couple of days.
00:22 The Forest owner was here, he left with a full-time whistle, face like thunder, not
00:26 happy, can't really blame him.
00:29 They just weren't good enough tonight, they were off the pace, they got absolutely hammered
00:32 in every respect, and in the end, if you duck out of challenges, as he was saying, this
00:37 is what happens.
00:38 Fulham won't really care other than feeling sorry for Cooper, he's a really decent human
00:42 being and a very good coach, who was let down by his players tonight.
00:47 Two great goals for Raul Jimenez backing the goals, two for Wobbe and one for Tom Kearney
00:53 to round it all off, so very good for Fulham, who can look forward to a decent Christmas
00:58 period ahead, West Ham here on Sunday, back at the cottage.
01:03 But yeah, ultimately, could be problematic for Forest in the next couple of days, and
01:07 might see a change of manager there, which is never nice, but maybe Cooper's come to
01:12 the end of his reign there really.
01:15 He's achieved some great things for us, so he can always look back on that proudly if
01:18 that's what it comes to.
01:19 But for the meantime, Mark and Silver are very happy with what we've seen here tonight,
01:23 and interested to see what happens next for Forest.
01:26 The chance you have of a next Forest, of course, but Fulham can think about kicking on at the
01:30 table.
01:31 It's time for them probably to climb into the more safer areas of mid-table really,
01:36 so if they can string a few zocks together now, it could really push on for an exciting
01:41 second half of the season.
