Fulham concluded their 2025/26 Premier League campaign on May 24, 2026, wrapping up another intense year of top-flight football. But while traditional sports analysts are busy dissecting the final matchday tactics and debating squad depth, some of the most prominent voices in podcasting are taking a completely different, highly literal approach to the club's geography.
Rather than focusing on the pitch, host James Harkin of the hit trivia podcast No Such Thing As A Fish took a bizarre historical detour while discussing the swimming habits of Benjamin Franklin. Explaining how fast the London river flows, Harkin remarked, "Like, if Benjamin Franklin jumped in the Thames now, you'd have to fish him out in Fulham or something." The mental image of an American Founding Father drifting down to Craven Cottage is certainly one way to keep the neighborhood in the headlines.
While sports commentators might disagree on how to rank Fulham's season achievements, the team at No Such Thing As A Fish seems content to treat the area as a mere geographical catchment zone. As the club heads into the off-season, they remain firmly on the map—even if it is for historical drift-aways rather than tactical masterclasses.
