Fiorentina file: Udinese 0 Fiorentina 2

Alan Tanner’s Fulham is not the only Rust team to enjoy a winning run. Fiorentina have gone 7 games without defeat and won the last 5. The remarkable thing is that this has been achieved since March 13th when our captain and heartbeat Davide Astori ‘s own heart ceased to function on [...]

The Tanner Report

In the great days of George Best, Bobby Charlton and Denis Law, it was said that Manchester United only played well when unsung hero Paddy Crerand in midfield did. Supporters of every club will tell you of the player that does the work for others. At Fulham at the moment on our 18-match run without [...]

The Tanner Report: Norwich 0 Fulham 2

Fulham had a comfortable enough win over Norwich but the seven point gap to overhaul Cardiff for an automatic place seems too much. Still, we can only win our games and it’s 17 matches since we lost one. Norwich in mid-table had little to play for. They threatened on occasion but their [...]

A worthy man remembered – then and now

Sometimes life and historical research combine to throw up seemingly puzzling or even random media attention and/or ‘issues of the moment’. Take the current splash of publicity surrounding the remarkable tale of the splendid Walter Tull – the black or, to be specific, half-black [...]

The Tanner Report: Fulham 2 QPR 2

It was the annual dinner last night at the Hydra Hotel Eastbourne of the Chamois Society, the Federation of British Window Cleaners of which I am regional social secretary and I had to miss out on the trip to Craven Cottage and watch the game broadcast on SKY. Given the cold I was secretly pleased [...]

The Allianz Arena

Yesterday I made the tour of the Allianz Arena home of Bayern Munich. It’s a fifteen-minute drive from the centre of the motorway near the main BMW sales office. You see what looks like a giant padded football from distance. Our guide explained that the facade is composed of 4,756 unique panels [...]

The Tanner Report: Preston 1 Fulham 2

Fulham extended their winning run of 16 points out of 18 – all against teams in the top ten – with another win but this was the most hard-fought and least-deserved of them all. Still, we have to credit a defence that stuck to their job – Dennis Odoi replacing the injured Tomas [...]

The Tanner Report : Fulham 3 Sheffield United 0

Fulham were in cruise control last night in disposing of Sheffield United in one of the finest performances of football we have witnessed since the Jean Tigana era. In the second half – and allow this long suffering fan his moment of exaggeration – it might have been Barcelona or [...]

Brighton 2 Arsenal 1

The  BBC computer predicts that 37 points will be enough to survive and if so Brighton only need one more win. Yesterday in an enthralling match the spirit of the Seagulls over-powered a directionless Arsenal team full of skilful individuals but no esprit de corps. This was epitomised by the [...]

The Tanner Report: Derby 0 Fulham 2

The Fulham winning machine rolls on with 10 wins in the last 13 games and key victories over rivals Aston Villa, Wolves and Derby. Ryan Sessegnon has attracted much attention with his recent goal surge, picking up the young player and EFL best player award last week, but credit is due to others [...]
