Crystal Palace 1 Brighton HAFC 1

The spoils were divided in the M23 derby with a late equaliser in the 95th minute by Neal Maupay. Given the dislike of the rival fans this match was less toxic than past encounters though emotions spilled over after the final whistle and the Brighton team hurriedly exited the pitch. Had Brighton [...]

The Tanner Report: have Fulham been worked out?

With only one point from our last three Championship games and a defeat at home to out of form Leeds in the Caribou Cup the question needs to be asked – indeed addressed – if Fulham have been rumbled. Marco Silva’s flowing style took us to the top of the Championship but now sides are [...]

USA set to regain Ryder Cup

With their lead now extended to 6 points (11-5), the USA now only need 3 1/2 points in the singles to regain the Ryder Cup. Finally in the afternoon four balls the Europeans showed some defiance drawing 2-2. To some consternation – but not mine – Rory Mcilroy was dropped in the morning [...]

Ryder Cup day one: USA 6 Team Europe 2

The boys in the clubhouse gave me quite a bit of gyp for my betting support of the American team. I do want Europe to retain the Ryder Cup but I do not believe they will as the USA have the superior team. The morning press drew hope from the continuing spat between Brooks Koepka and Bryson [...]

Ryder Cup Review

I have placed my bets – a USA win: a victory of 15 1/2 to 12 1/2 or  15-13; and Patrick Cantlay as top rookie. The two captains have made their opening foursome picks. British golf clubs are totally familiar with the two-ball foursome – some even insist on it – the Americans less [...]

TED DEXTER’S FUNERAL

It is somewhat ironic that Ted Dexter, who was born on the Ligurian coast, raised in an elegant flat in the Piazza Repubblica in Milan – his father holding the Lloyd’s brokerage for Italy – and who settled happily in Nice and could be described as a lover of the seas – [...]

Normal service is resumed?

I was so looking forward to the resumption of my art class at the learning centre but the first reaction to me upon arrival was from one attendee brusquely saying I should not sit next to her as I was not wearing a mask. I banged my bag down at another space and glowered at her. This is the [...]

Golfing weekend & Ryder Cup build up

I swerved the Fortinet US PGA event last weekend which was not my greatest call as the analyst in the Racing and Football Outlook predicted the winner Max Homa and the third place at a tasty each way price Chilean Mito Pereira. I bet Jon Rahm wished he had done the same. The Spaniard missed the cut [...]

It was grim back then (or was it?)

These days it isn’t unusual – when recounting to modern listeners nostalgic tales of the more bizarre and hair-shirted practices experienced by those of us who went to British boarding “public schools” [what might more properly be described as “private schools” anywhere else in the [...]

Goodwood Revival 2021

Yesterday I was invited to Goodwood Revival, a celebration of classic car motor racing on the Goodwood circuit. The event is a  sell-out as it attracts a global audience, most of whom are in 1930s and 40s dress. Military uniform and overalls are most popular with the men, pleated dresses and [...]
