Pargie’s sporting weekend

Once again Jeremy Chapman in the Racing and Football Outlook came up trumps by predicting Dustin Johnson as winner and tipping young Jon Rahm who ran him close finishing third. He did not quite fare so well in South Africa where none of his picks featured, the Tshwane Open was won by Dean [...]

The Tanner Report : Fulham 3 Preston 1

Fulham’s comfortable and complete victory over in-form Preston, only one place below us, keep us in the play-off race. The three teams above us -Sheffield Wednesday, Reading and Leeds – all won so there is still a gap in points to overcome. It was a good week for Fulham with Stefan [...]

Brighton 1 Newcastle 2

This game lived up to its top-of the-table-billing in a high octane encounter but it was a measure of luck that swung the game the Magpies way. The Seagulls took an early lead from a penalty. It seemed harsh but the referee said he had warned the players about holding in the box and then penalised [...]

Fiorentina 2 Torino 2

The word “casino” (crisis) could have been invented with Fiorentina in mind as throughout my support and my father’s there was rarely a period of calm. After conceding 4 second half goals v Borussia Monchengladbach and exiting the Europe League, Paolo Sousa’s job was on the [...]

Brighton 3 Reading 0

Brighton’s victory Saturday night took us to the summit of Championship which position will be tested next Tuesday with the biggest game of the season in the Championship when Newcastle come a-calling. It was a typical cagey opening start. Sam Baldock hit the post with a twenty yard curling [...]

Fiorentina 2 Borussia Monchengladbach 4 (3-4 aggregate)

Quite how Fiorentina contrived to lose this game after being 3 up on aggregate is beyond me. Our passionate fans, whilst urging Fiorentina on during the the game, booed them off at the final whistle. I can’t see Paolo Sousa surviving as the club reacts badly to defeats like this. With a one [...]

The Tanner Report/ FA Cup 5th round: Fulham 0 Spurs 3

When your defence concedes 2 goals at home to the likes of Wigan and Nottingham Forest you do not hold too much hope that they can keep a clean sheet against a Spurs side currently sitting in third place in the Premier. Within the first few minutes our defence was sliced open only for Spurs’ [...]

3 attacking midfielders of whom you may not have heard but you will

Federico Bernardeschi Stefano Ursolini Last night Federico Bernardeschi hit a 25 piledriver of a free kick into the corner of the Borussia Munchengladbach net for Fiorentina who won their away Europa league tie 1-0. Aged 22 with 9 international caps he is not just an established talent but I would [...]

Brighton 1 Ipswich 1

Few Seagull fans would deny that a draw was a fair reflection of the play. Ipswich took an early lead when skipper Luke Chambers bravely got his head to a trickily flighted free kick from Tom Lawrence whose crosses from the right perpetually caused problems. Tomer Hemed equalised from the the spot [...]

Pargie’s sporting weekend

Alan Tanner invited me to Fulham v Wigan on Saturday. Bob Tickler’s godson Jamie now goes regularly with him. He (Jamie) advised that I should back Scott Malone to score any time as he always scores for Jamie. He duly did so but in his own net and had to explain why this does not count. I [...]
