The Tanner Report: Fulham 2 Nottingham Forest 0

More than a few Cottager eyebrows were raised when Marco Silva signed 34 year old Willian. He had in fact played for Shaktar Donetsk against Fulham 13 years ago in our successful Europa League campaign under Roy Hodgson. He had 7 seasons at Chelsea and was particularly effective in midfield with [...]

The Tanner Report : Sunderland 2 Fulham 3. FA Cup 4th Round

The Bench is important. A player coming off it can make an immediate impact. It gives the team needed depth in case of injury or suspensions . The success of Brighton, Brentford and Fulham is the more remarkable as these clubs cannot afford a costly bench. In this replayed Cup Tie Marco Silva made [...]

The Tanner Report: Chelsea 0 Fulham 0

The story will inevitably be that the expensively-assembled Chelsea could not beat Fulham. I doubt if there will be any forensic analysis of a league table showing Fulham, Brentford and Brighton above Chelsea and Liverpool. There are many reasons for this: less fan expectation, intelligent [...]

The Tanner Report

Yesterday a Fulham supporter whom I have known for many years – and began his support a year after me – treated me to lunch at the Reform Club. I am not a gentleman’s club man, but even so was impressed by its portals, salons and traditions. It was founded after The Great Reform Act [...]

Brighton 3 Liverpool 0

After this resounding win over Liverpool the story – like Fulham’s – will be focussed on the demise of the Reds and the future of Jurgen Klopp which is unfair as the Seagulls played so well. From the start they took the game to Liverpool, pinning them down in their half. However [...]

The Tanner Report: Fulham 2 Chelsea 1

Fulham won the SW6 bragging rights but the story will be the demise of Chelsea and the future of Graham Potter –  not that Fulham, in 6th place, are now challenging for a Champions League spot. The turning point was the sending off of Joao Felix for an over-the-ball challenge on Kenny Tete. [...]

Hull 0 Fulham 2 – FA Cup 3rd Round

Hull v Fulham was never going to be one of the stand-out ties but was of keen of interest to both sets of fans because of connections between the two clubs. Hull’s manager Liam Rosenior played for both Fulham and Hull in his time and – as his father Leroy also played for the Whites – [...]
