The Tanner Report: Fulham 1 Manchester United 2

There are few things more gutting – and conversely more exhilarating depending on whom you support – than the late goal. This occurred yesterday at Craven Cottage when young Argentine winger Alejandro Garnacho scored in the final minute of extra time. Up till then Fulham had held their [...]

Media comments on the sporting day

Yesterday was largely spent on my sofa following sport on BT Sport, Sky Sports, Amazon Prime, Radio 5 and Talk Sport. I was largely unimpressed by the coverage. BT Sport covered Chelsea 0 Arsenal 1 – a featureless match. In the second half I switched to Talksport 2 where Clive Tyldesley [...]

The Tanner Report : Manchester City 2 Fulham 1

We were  all gutted that City won this game in the 95th minute but we take a lot out of the performance. For the third time – the other two were against Arsenal and Spurs – we lost by the odd goal in three to one of the big boys. The real difference between sides like City and [...]

Sacked!

We are now well into the football sacking season with Thomas Tuchel, Bruno Lage and Stevie Gerrard early casualties. Leeds’ Jesse Marsch’s head is in the noose. In an article in yesterday’s Times their chief football writer Henry Winter identified the increasing role fans play in such [...]

Manchester City 3 Brighton 1

Brighton have lost their last six visits to Manchester City so not even John Pargiter would have backed them yesterday. As it happened Roberto de Zerbi set up the team well with asphyxiating man to man marking. Inevitably Erling Haarland scored two first half goals making his tally this term so far [...]

The Tanner Report: Fulham 3 Aston Villa 0

The difference between this season and the previous two relegation ones are wins over our peers. The last relegation season began with a comprehensive defeat at home to Crystal Palace. Although we do not meet them until Boxing Day a much better performance and result are likely. Yesterday’s [...]

Brighton 0 Nottingham Forest 0

Brighton have yet to record a victory under Roberto de Zerbi and only scored in his first game against Liverpool. It is not critical as we are still in the top half of the table but concerning. Much is made of De Zerbi inheriting a team with good values and foundations but the goal-scoring problem [...]

The Tanner Report: Fulham 2 Bournemouth 2

Fulham v Bournemouth encounters are normally feisty affairs and this was no exception. Fulham had lost their last two games whilst the Cherries – after a 9-0 defeat at the hands of Liverpool – sacked Scott Parker, previously at Fulham. They were undefeated in their last five  matches [...]

Champions League qualifiers

As often as not, a match on which much hangs can result in a cagey game. Not so Barcelona v Inter Milan last night. Barcelona’s debts are said to have reached 1 billion euros and their  future revenue streams have been compromised. Although on top of La Liga they must qualify for the business [...]

The Tanner Report: West Ham 3 Fulham 1

Although VAR was supposed to alleviate controversy it only seems to have added to it. Fulham and Head Coach Marco Silva in particular felt especially aggrieved and not without reason. Having taken the lead through Pereira and nearly adding to it when James’ shot hit the bar, Fulham were on equal [...]
