The Tanner Report: Wolves 1 Fulham 0

This was a far more encouraging performance but the table still shows Fulham at the bottom of it with no wins and no points. In particular the defence was more resolute with keeper Alphonse Areola giving his best performance to date. Areola was number three choice at PSG, ironically the number 2 [...]

Sporting interviews

There are three types of sporting interviews – those that promote a book, those that promote themselves and those that choose to reveal. The Times yesterday had examples of each. Jamie Redknapp is bringing about a book this week. Aged 47,  it is about his career. It’s familiar stuff [...]

Where we are now (again)

For those of us who love it, the world of sport as an industry and pastime that has been affected at least as badly as any other during the coronavirus pandemic crisis. In an universe of infinite amounts of unknows and uncertainty – like all species – the human race craves fixed points, [...]

The Tanner Report: Fulham 0 Aston Villa 3

Where does Head Coach Scott Parker go from here? Fulham have lost their first three games each by a margin of 3 goals. The first against Arsenal was justifiable but the next two – against Leeds and last night Aston Villa – were defeats against sides likely to be in the bottom half of [...]

Brighton 2 Manchester United 3

The Seagulls can count themseves unlucky to lose this one. Leandro Trossard struck the frame of the United goal three times and the VAR decision that Neil Maupay handled the ball led to a winning United penalty after the final whistle. Still, the Seagulls, who have played well in every game this [...]

My not-so sporting weekend (so far)

Come the weekend and no doubt like many sport (but not betting) obsessed Brits yesterday I set my cable television controls for the Sky and BT channels – and, to be fair, also for the BBC1’s Football Focus with  Dan Walker – in search of something entertaining and/or diverting to watch. [...]

The Tanner Report: Fulham 2 Sheffield Wednesday 0 (Caraboa Cup)

This match, streamed on the Caraboa website last night, was hardly compelling viewing but instructive in its own way. In particular the powerful and pacy Antonee Robinson, acquired from Wigan, looked a more than credible alternative for the smaller Joe Bryan who holds the left back position. Keeper [...]

The future of sport – discuss

As yesterday at 11.00am we watched Sir Patrick Vallance and Chief Medical Officer Professor Chris Whitty do their Two Ronnies act scaring the heebie-jeebies out of the UK general public with their presentation on the gathering storm of a second “Covid-19” wave of infections and deaths from 10 [...]

The Tanner Report: Leeds 4 Fulham 3

With no points and seven goals conceded you might have thought I would feel dejected but not a bit of it. It’s early days but there is a spirit in Scott Parker’s side that was lacking 18 months ago. When we went 4-1 down I received a text from our cycling correspondent Guy Danaway that I [...]

Sussex sport week

It’s hardly been a great week so far for Sussex sport. On Monday the Sharks lost in the T20 to Essex Eagles, a side unlikely to qualify from the Southern Division (Kent, Middlesex, Surrey, Hampshire, Essex and ourselves). That Monday night Brighton lost 1-3 to Chelsea. We dominated possession [...]
