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 Roodyn to verse: “Vicario likes to go à-wandering Outside his Tottenham box But when the ball drops to ‘Arry Boy (Harry Wilson) Opportunity knocked.“ [...]

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 [...]

Seagulls and sharks

Brighton – aka ‘The Seagulls’ – have had an active summer. Joao Pedro has gone to Chelsea for big bucks, like Calcedo and Sanchez previously, and Pervis Estupian to AC Milan. Igor is rumoured to be going too. À crop of youngsters have been signed, so Fabian [...]

A great weekend of Sussex Sport

Brighton trounced Spurs 4-1 away and finished  in 8th spot with the very remote possibility of European competition (if so they might well meet Fiorentina) and Sussex are now second in the Championship after beating Hampshire. The win in 3 days was achieved without Ollie Robinson and Dan Hughes [...]

The Tanner Report: Fulham 0 Manchester City 2

For this game Fulham had rested Calvin Bassey, Sandor Berge, Ryan Sessegnon, Adama Trioré, whilst City had no starting places for Rodri, de Bruyne, Anke, Foden or Ederson (who were on the bench) or for Jack Grealish who did not even travel. Fulham could not afford the £100m paid for Grealish and [...]

Sporting Saturday

The best part of the Test Match between England and Zimbabwe was for me the former Zimbabwean cricketer Henry Olongo singing the (Les Miserables) song Take Me Home. Frankly, whilst Zimbabwe played with spirit they were outclassed. Henry and Andy Flower voiced publicly their criticism of the Mugabe [...]

Sporting Saturday

With the Cup Final and US PGA on ‘moving day’, I was embarrassed by riches and swerved a tight and exciting victory of Northampton Saints over Saracens. That the Cup Final has declined as “THE National Sporting Event”  is evidenced by it not even being the front page story in The [...]
