The Tanner Report: Fulham 0 Chelsea 1

The turning point in this game came just before half time with two incidents. The first was Fulham’s best move of the match when the Chelsea defence was breached. Full back Antonee Robinson surged forward, his pass found Kenny Tete who crossed but Ivan Cavaleiro fluffed his lines to make a poor [...]

TMS is back

For those of us who wake up a few hours earlier than we might wish the return of Test Match Special to cover the first test of Sri Lanka v England at Galle is a great boon. The commentators are not actually there. Jonathan Agnew is in his attic, Ebony Raynsford Brent in her front room, Andy [...]

Manchester City 1 Brighton 0

When teams like Brighton go to the Etihad it’s a question of damage limitation. Burnley conceded 5 up there, Fulham 2, so limiting one of the best teams in Europe to just the one was a result. The difference between the two clubs is the depth of resources. Brighton were missing their best two [...]

The Tanner Report: Spurs 1 Fulham 1

This was another stirring performance by Fulham, our fifth consecutive draw, all achieved against opposition higher up the table and – in the case of Liverpool and Spurs – against teams with high ambitions. Time was – especially in his first term at Chelsea – when a Jose [...]

My sporting & betting weekend (if only)

The US PGA began at its western most state Hawaii with the Sentry event on the Plantation Course Kapalua Maui. It’s a beautiful setting with the ocean and surfing breakers beyond and attracted a notable field including Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau, Justin Thomas and Patrick Reed. My money [...]

The Tanner Report: QPR 0 Fulham 2 (FA CUP 3rd ROUND)

Can it be 49 years ago virtually to the day that I went to Loftus Road to see Fulham draw a 3rd round tie and then win the replay 2-0 as my memory of the match is so clear? In those days you had nothing like the pre-match information the internet provides today. You were reliant on the paper press [...]

Colin Bell

I was truly saddened to hear of the passing of Colin Bell, one of the greatest players I was privileged to see. The amazing thing about Colin Bell was his strike record of a goal every three games. He was not a midfield striker like Lionel Messi or Roberto Baggio but an immensely hard-working box [...]

British Football Greatest Grounds/Mike Bayly

When it comes to visiting new football grounds I’m something of an anorak so this compendium of 100 ‘must visit’ grounds was of enormous appeal. As a Fulham supporter for over 50 years, watching my boys in 4 divisions, I must have visited over 70 stadia and have my own preferences and [...]

Brighton 3 Wolves 3

This was an entertaining game with some positives but the Seagulls ended it without a home win this season and only one in the year 2020. We were at one stage 3-1 down so can draw hope and strength from a come back Aaron Connolly added to his single goal tally with a clever flick to score from [...]

Brighton 0 Arsenal 1

My Albion supporting postman put it well when I said a week ago we are heading for a relegation dogfight “Ivan, we are already in one.” I’m getting sick and tired of the comment you hear in the media “Brighton play better football than their position suggests.” We are where we are and [...]
