The Tanner report: Fulham 2 Blackburn 1

Before the kick off there was a tribute to one of Fulham’s finest sons, Graham Leggat. He played 277 games for Fulham, that is more than is double the entirety of the players that took the field. Not one of them was playing for Fulham two seasons ago. I believe this is one of the reasons we [...]

Brighton 1 Hull 0

I’m not a great one for outpouring of public, vicarious grief and bereavement. It seemed to start with the death of Princess Diana. Every decade’s anniversary of a tragedy is remembered though I cannot recall Liverpool doing too much on the anniversary of Heysel when 39 Juventus fans [...]

The Tanner Report

Last night in the Capital Cup Fulham disposed of a Sheffield United team that made 10 changes from the side that played Blackpool to earn a tie against Stoke managed by our former boss Mark Hughes. It was good to see Ross MacCormack, who had looked sluggish so far, net two goals and young Moussa [...]

Fiorentina file

Fiorentina have got off to a good start under new coach Paolo Sousa who has taken over from Vincenzo Montella. We beat Barcelona and Chelsea in the International Champions Cup. Yesterday we faced a rejuvenated Milan under Sinisa Mihajovic who once managed here. He has spent €90m on new players to [...]

the Tanner Report: Hull 2 Fulham 1

“Things are going to have to change and sharpish” was Kit Symons’ post match comment. He’s right and what might change first is his job. We have one point out of nine, had we closed our last two games we would have had 3 draws but once again a late goal did for us. Contrast [...]

Brighton top, Sussex sharks bottom

When John Pargiter called for a betting tip on the Fulham v Brighton match, both Alan and I agreed that a draw was the likeliest result. After Chris Hughton took over as manager he was adept at grinding out 0-0 draws and the defence stayed tight. I was therefore surpised that we came out of the [...]

Doesn’t getting it right matter?

Pardoning me for mentioning this, but isn’t it about time – now that we seem to have the video and other technology to check sporting action with a chilling degree of accuracy – that, if by chance a referee or other official in charge of proceedings on the field of play makes a [...]

The Tanner Report on Fulham 1 Brighton 2

New season, new hopes, old problems.The chairman tells us in the programme for the first time in three years he is enjoying quiet confidence. I wish I could share  this. The cornerstone of a successful side is not always the glamourous striker but the the two central defenders who put in the hard [...]

New season, new hopes

Two years ago Cardiff played Fulham in the Premier, yesterday they met in the Championship and drew 1-1. One of the fascinations of the Championship, as opposed to the Premier, is that you cannot write the league now as it would stand in May. Last season no one predicted Bournemouth, few Watford. [...]
