What’s going wrong at Brighton?

Some might argue “Nothing at all” as the Seagulls, at the time of writing, are 9th. Yet they are winless in 4 games and have lost the last two London derbies 3-1 to Fulham and Crystal Palace – the latter, on Sunday, being hard to take as it was against our great rivals. We have [...]

The Tanner Report: Liverpool 2 Fulham 2

Where do you start praising Fulham for coming away from Anfield with a point? Not by reading the press reports who uniformly wrote of a “10 man come back” from “never say die” Liverpool. Never mind that Liverpool are arguably the best team in the world right now. Of course, [...]

The Tanner Report: Fulham 1 Arsenal 1

In a spirited performance Fulham held a superior Arsenal side though from the commentary and coverage on Sky you would not have thought so. After braving the elements, traffic and transport problems last Thursday it was a case of staying in the warm and watching this match on Sky. Their panel of [...]

It may have passed your notice as sporting events and achievements outside the UK are sparsely covered but New Zealand, without Kane Williamson, won their series in India this year 3-0. The odds on this were 2000-1. England lost theirs in Pakistan 1-2. After winning the first Test, Pakistan [...]

The Tanner Report: Fulham 3 Brighton 1

Stuck on the 74 bus 30 minutes before kick off – and walking down Finlay Street in driving rain – then overcoming the initial difficulties of entrance as my pass was refused, I did wonder why I did not watch the game on Amazon in the warm. I had invited a friend – and had another [...]

The Tanner Report: Spurs 1 Fulham 1

It’s a case of “better late than never …”  as normally I post my copy within 24 hours of a match. At least the extra 24 hours has permitted me to watch the highlights of Fulham’s draw and read the press comments. Fulham came into this match on the back of a 4-1 defeat by [...]

Man Utd: can they come back?

Students of history will know that the surprising factor is not that empires decline but that they last for so long. It’s not different in sport. Manchester Utd took a long time – and tried numerous managers – before achieving success after Matt Busby. Liverpool dominated the [...]

The Tanner Report : Fulham 1 Wolves 4.

On Friday November 3rd 1978 Fulham played Blackburn Rovers. The season had started well under new coach Bobby Campbell.

London 2014/2124

Ten years ago I made my momentous decision to leave London for the South Coast. I was born in London and regarded myself as a Londoner. My closest friend- alas now passed – opined that I would be back in 2 years if I could afford the housing prices. I can see the attraction and attractions of [...]

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 [...]
