The Tanner Report: Fulham 4 Brighton 2

At half time on a freezing, wet night Fulham seemed doomed to relegation as supreme goal poacher Glenn Murray put the visitors two ahead. A second half revival which will live long in the memory resulted in an epic 4-2 win. Two goals down, Ranieri changed the system taking Tim Ream off switching to [...]

Hugh McIlvanney – The Master – RIP

The news came overnight that Hugh McIlvanney had died at the age of 84. Without doubt he ranks among the all-time great sport journalists, not just those produced in the UK but anywhere in the world. Like many others I shall wait for the obituaries that will record, sum up and assess his career [...]

The Tanner Report : Fulham 1 Spurs 2

Fulham’s defeat to a Spurs goal in the 94th minute was gut-wrenching and makes the task of avoiding relegation decidedly arduous. Before the game I analysed the fixtures. At home we entertain Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea so we will be looking for points against [...]

This whole Liverpool thing

I was delighted that Manchester City beat Liverpool. My first email was a clip of Jurgen Klopp extolling the glories of Liverpool. “It’s not a club, it’s a family. we don’t have chants but anthems”.  And so it went on. There was no mention of Heysel, nor of Bob Paisley who won [...]

The Tanner Report: Arsenal 4 Fulham 1

Although Arsenal ran out easy winners, we had two chances to score before Arsenal did – both falling to Ryan Sessegnon who muffed them even though they fell on his more reliable left foot. Arsenal scored first with the now familiar sight of the opposition scorer having as much time and space [...]

The Tanner Report: Fulham 1 Huddersfield 0

Bob Tickler’s godson Jamie was mascot and will remember this game for the right and wrong reasons. The right? He met and was photographed with the team, led them out hand in hand with his favourite player Tom Cairney, shook hands with the opposition, his name was on the scoreboard … an [...]

The Tanner Report: Fulham 1 Wolves 1

No doubt it we are a meaner, better organised team under Claudio Ranieri – evidenced by only conceding one goal in the last two games. However 2 draws and 2 points may not be enough if that continues, even in a league where a final low level of points for survival is predicted, possibly as [...]

Sunday Supplement/ Sky

Like many I am a keen fan of the Andrew Marr Show on Sunday. He examines the crucial issues with the big political players. So I was disappointed yesterday to see no programme. My telly was set on SKY Main Event which was broadcasting the programme Sunday Supplement. It must have been a good 15 [...]

The Tanner Report: Newcastle 0 Fulham 0

A goalless draw is rarely an occasion to celebrate but it is when it’s your first clean sheet of the season so we were all delighted that the boys returned from Newcastle with a point and no goals conceded. Not that our defence was totally secure. In coming out for a cross that was clearly Alfie [...]

Adios Mourinho

I have been distinctly underwhelmed by the blanket coverage of the dismissal of Jose Mourinho last Tuesday morning. The vast amount of the coverage has bought into the cult of the Special One. Given the resources of a national newspaper I would have expected and enjoyed reading the financial [...]
