I have just started following Fulham due to Mcbride and Bocanegra...I was wondering who Fulhams biggest rival is in the Premiereship.

Welcome. The biggest Premiership rival is Chelsea since they're only two stops on the train away and are Fulham's partners in the West London Derby.
Now I know everyone claims Chelsea as their rivals but Fulham has dibs. Chelsea was actually originally going to be called Fulham but the name was already taken.
They're technically in the same borough as Fulham (though a different neighborhood or whatever it's called) hence my favorite Fulham cheer, "there's only one team in Fulham."

Definitely Chelsea...but we have some some good light hearted banter with the likes of Portsmouth (You only sing when you're fishing)...

And of course QPR when they and we are in the same league. I almost purchased this amazing book in Manchester called "Shite Team, No Fans" with all the great Fulham cheers against QPR (as well as dozens of other cheers for other teams too). Too bad they're absolutely useless right now (and hopefully for years and years to come).

Brentford was also a big rival "back in the day"...like Fires of Fulham said, lets hope they never ever become a big rival again.

#1 hate: Chelsea
#2 hate: QPR
It's always easier to hate a rival when you're looking up at them (until the Prem starts, we're even-Stephen!), so we're basically ignoring QPR, as they are not in our class.

I hate QPR with the fury of 1,000 dying suns
