The Tanner Report: Fulham 2 Hull 1

This was a game where the result was all. We finally won before our own crowd and defended a lead successfully. To be fair we still have key players like Tom Cairney and Rui Fonte unavailable. But on the other hand we were prepared to deplete the squad by selling Scott Malone and Sone Aluko. Hull [...]

The Path to Hell …

In my last post I mentioned the giving of my Friday test ticket to my neighbour – which you might have thought a simple exercise – but no. He insisted on repaying me and told me that he had left the money (at the reception of the hotel I was staying in) upon collecting the ticket but of [...]

Spanish lessons

The reader might justly enquire what is my motivacion for learning Spanish. The answer is two fold:- (i) I have been travelling to Spain and intend to do so more often and feel disadvantaged by not knowing the language; (ii) I want to see how difficult it is at my age to apply myself to learning [...]

The Tanner Report: Fulham 1 Cardiff 1

One of the fascinations of football spectating is the vastly different takes on a match. I watched yesterday’s with 2 old friends, all three of us clocking up 150 years of Fulham support. Two of them tend to commentate and judge as it happens. I do not deride this – both picked up [...]

An Evening at the Komedia for Bob Booker and Mark McGhee

I have learned from Daffers that if you get off to a bad start at any event it’s hard to recover and this is what happened at the Komedia Brighton last night where the Albion Roar – a media duet of Brighton HAFC football fans – were hosting the former managerial team Mark McGhee [...]

Eureka/Anthony Quinn

A series of novels depicting recurring characters is often a successful literary device and in the case of Antfony Powell’s Dance to the Music of Time a classic. Another Anthony, Anthony Quinn, a former film critic on The Independent, has now written a third in his series, the first [...]

My sporting weekend

One of the reasons why I restrict myself to a tenner is the sheer incompetence of my laying. I use the Betfair site as you can bet against as well as for. But inevitably and far too regularly make some error. Jeremy Chapman had recommended the South African Haydn Porteus  for the Czech Masters. [...]

T20 final

Don’t shout it from the rooftops of the Pavilion at Lords but I’m beginning to warm to the T20s game. I thoroughly enjoyed the finals day yesterday. My visceral dislike of T20s was based largely on attendance at matches where I found the fans boorish, the atmosphere too loud and a night [...]

The Tanner Report

Judging by the emails from fans in my inbox Fulham supporters are underwhelmed by our activity – or more accurate lack of it- in the transfer window. We have sold 2 integral players to our success last season, Scott Malone and Sone Aluko, and from  the money received  replaced them with 2 [...]
