The Tanner Report: Crystal Palace 0 Fulham 2

Fulham, before Marco Silva, had a horrendous record in London derbies but this win made it 2 out of 2 in a week against West London and South London rivals. Once again Harry Wilson scored and had two more chalked-off. That form – and the imminent return to fitness of Sasa Lukic – gives [...]

The Tanner Report: Fulham 2 Brentford 1

Nearly 50 years ago the shoulder of John Mitchell forced the ball over the Birmingham line in the dying minutes to take Fulham to their first FA Cup Final.

The Tanner Report: Everton 1 Fulham 1

There are few things more disappointing than conceding a late goal – just like scoring one is one of the spectator’s greatest joys. A late goal tends to discolour the performance as Fulham played well and deserved to win. Although we are settled mid-table in tenth place the question needs [...]

Manchester City have gone 50 games undefeated at home and 16 games undefeated (home and away) against Fulham winning the last 12 on the trot. Though few had given us much hope at the Etihad, had Adama Traoré been able to finish more lethally, we might have won. The head coach chose a more [...]

Fiorentina File: Fiorentina 2 New Saints 0/Conference League

I had never heard of the Welsh side New Saints. I had to google them to discover they have won the Cymru  Premiership League 16 times.  They are based in Oswestry, Shropshire, and must be the first Welsh team to visit the Artemio Franch.

Aston Villa 1 Bayern Munich 0 (a punter’s view) …

I have a confession to make, namely that I’m going off golf betting. It’s always been my sport and I have been attracted to the betting element because of the odds and the fact it’s largely a clean sport where luck plays little part. The problem is that it’s a big field and the best winning [...]
