The Tanner Report: Rotherham 0 Fulham 1

Fulham condemned Rotherham to relegation as they gritted out a win against a side who played with the brio of the condemned man eating his final meal. Crucially for the first time since September we are in a play-off place but on Tuesday we travel to Derby whilst Sheffield Wednesday whom we [...]

It’s Just Banter/ Leroy Rosenior

Leroy Rosenior’s autobiography will be of interest beyond the supporters of the 3 clubs he played for – Fulham, QPR and West Ham and the three he managed Bristol City, Torquay and Brentford. Born in Sierra Leone, whom he later managed for 2 games, growing up in Brixton in the sixties [...]

Nice times

Michel de Vacri It’s been such fun to see our friends from the Rust here. Yesterday I took time out to watch France play a friendly against Spain which we lost 2-0. The game was noticeable for the use of video evidence which resulted in the referee disallowing a Griezmann goal and allowing a [...]

Aspects of political correctness

Here’s an early bid to win a nomination for the shortlist of the 2017 version of the internal Rusters’ competition to find the most incongruous link between two media stories. My starting point is that familiar old bugbear of the editorial team – the wonderful world of Political Correctness. [...]

Here we go again (or do we?)

To be honest with you I physically watched only about 2 minutes’ worth of this week’s England ‘friendly’ match football 0-1 loss against Germany in Dortmund and even this was not for a sporting reason. Having spent the bulk of the afternoon glued to the box absorbing the [...]

Arsene of the Arsenal?

I have no particular allegiance to the Arsenal though I have several friends who are fanatics. I have viewed the final reign of Arsenal Wenger with interest but indignation too.

The Tanner Report : Fulham 1 Wolves 3

Fulham are the Arsenal of the Championship with our passing game so pleasant on the eye but ineffective against teams who scrap.

A Test match worthy of the name
