The Tanner Report: Fulham 0 West Ham 0

I used to clean the windows of a doctor who told me that – in issuing a bulletin – there is a state known as unlikely … being worse than serious but less than grave. I cannot think of a better term to describe Fulham’s position than unlikely.    We are now 8 points adrift [...]

A Seagull victory to savour and an afternoon with Ted Dexter

Brighton’s victory at Anfield over Liverpool last Wednesday night will be remembered long. Of course this is not the Liverpool team that won the Premier and Champions League but the bulk of the side that achieved that took the field. The Seagulls continued to be without our excellent young right [...]

The Tanner Report: Fulham 0 Leicester City 2

It’s looking bleak for Fulham now, 8 points adrift in 20th place. Performances have improved these past few months but we still only have two wins all season. Leicester beat us comfortably. A header from a corner by Tosin was our best effort  on target. Alex Mitrovic linked play well but did not [...]

My sporting weekend

Although it was not the most successful weekend for me betting-wise a number of selection issues were helpfully clarified for European Ryder Cup captain Podraig Harrington. Unlike his American counterpart Steve Stricker who has six, Harrington has only 3 captain’s picks. Two of these potentially [...]

The Tanner Report: WBA 2 Fulham 2

This was the archetypal game of two halves. Fulham might have been three up at half time but scored only the one from Bobby Decordova- Reid. He was unlucky when another shot struck the post. You could see why WBA lost their last 4 home games conceding 17 goals and scoring none in the process. Their [...]

TheTanner Report: Brighton 0 Fulham 0

I  certainly always enjoy the trip to Brighton and was sad that the current restrictions prevented this. One of the reasons for the good feeling between the two clubs is the number of players that have graced both. In recent years David Stockdale, big Dan Burn and Steve Sidwell have performed well [...]

Brighton 0 Fulham 0

The visit of Fulham is always a highlight and of Alan Tanner too. Sadly this game – like the goalless draw at Craven Cottage – did not live up to expectations. Maybe there was too much at stake. Brighton, without a home win all season, were concerned that Fulham might overhaul them and [...]

A glorious weekend of sport

Not only did I watch a variety of exciting sport this weekend but had results in both golf tourneys. The European Tour is up and running with the Gulf swing at Abu Dhabi. The Racing Post new golf analyst Joe Champion recommended Cabrera Bello. A surprising choice in view of recent form but the [...]

The Tanner Report: Fulham 1 Manchester United 2

It’s curious but true that matches against the same opposition follow similar patterns. Fulham/Manchester Utd games are invariably entertaining and decided by a moment of individual brilliance by the Reds. This was true of last night’s encounter. Fulham took an early lead when Ade Lookman [...]

The Sporting Weekend

The amount of sport operating in a different time band required a sleep adjustment. I went to bed early on Saturday and was awake at 1.00am for the NFL play-off game between Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens with one eye on the Sony Open at Hawaii. I was still in the land of the conscious at [...]
