The Tanner Report : Walham Green walloped

No victory means more to a Fulham supporter than beating their SW6 rivals aka Walham  Green .  Over the years we have lived in their shadow and in the Jose Mourinho era they would win 2-0 with Frank Lampard invariably scoring. We were unlucky to lose at Stamford Bridge earlier this season when [...]

The Tanner Report : Fulham 2 Liverpool 2

Although there were some Fulham fans disappointed by this draw I was not one of them. Marvo Silva had to set up with 7 absentees and came up with a 3-5-1-1 which worked well against à Liverpool side with far greater resources and anxious to achieve a Champions League finish. As against Manchester [...]

Man City to win the Premier

As there is not much to do during the so called festive period I studied the Premier league table and future fixtures of both Arsenal and Man City and my conclusion was that City will take the Premier title ..  why so? Arsenal still have to play Spurs and Cty away and may not get many points from [...]

the Tanner Report: Fulham 1 Notttingham Forest 0

‘1-0 to the Arsenal’ was a chant that ringed out in the George Graham management era as his team ground out à result. It could have been applied to Fulham’s victory over Nottingham Forest which was a dull affaire. The main benefit for Fulham was that the 3 points achieved put clear blue [...]

The Tanner Report: Burnley 2 Fulham 3

You would have to be a Fulham fan aged over 90 to be present the last time that Fulham won at Burnley at Turf Moor which happened in the early 1950s, 75 years ago. Fulham broke the hoodoo last night but there were many paradoxes. Fulham’s Harry Wilson is on hot form with 4 goals in our last 7 [...]

The Tanner Report: Spurs 1 Fulham 2

To be two up after 6 minutes against Spurs at Spurs Stadium – how good is that? It moved my friend and Fulham nutter David to verse: “Vicario likes to go à-wandering Outside his Tottenham box But when the ball drops to ‘Arry Boy (Harry Wilson) Opportunity knocked.“ It’s [...]

The weekend sport

International week can be dreary for sports lovers but there was rugby and some international football games to enjoy. Granite Grant has already covered the England victory over the All Blacks. The big winners were George Ford who has surely staked his fly half claim with 2 drop goals and a [...]

Fiorentina sack Pioli

With Fiorentina bottom of Serie a, it came as no surprise that head coach Stefano Pioli was sacked yesterday. Results have been terrible and last Saturday we lost 0-1 at home to Lecce. It’s so sad to see La Viola in such a demise when you think this is the club where di Sisti, Giancarlo [...]

The Premiership

Who would have thought that Sunderland promoted in the play-offs would stand just one point behind Liverpool with a game in hand? It’s surely Arsenal’s to lose with their magnificent defence and 7 point lead. I still think Manchester City – 9 points behind the Gunners – constitute [...]
