The US pipeline

The conveyor belt of American golfing talent is – to use one of their buzz words – awesome. Last Sunday rookie Xander Schauffle won the Tou championship and Justin Thomas woke up yesterday $10m the richer by topping the Fedex.  Both of these and Daniel Berger will be vying for a Ryder [...]

Brighton 1 Newcastle 0

After grinding out this win, Brighton have 7 points and need another 31 to survive. Home form should do it as we are capable of beating Huddersfield, Crystal Palace, Bournemouth, Swansea, Watford, Stoke, West Ham, Leicester, Burnley,  at home and picking up the odd point on our travels. All the [...]

The Tanner Report: Fulham 1 Middlesbrough 1

Two problems have prevented Fulham from challenging higher up the table: 1) the absence of skipper and heartbeat Tom Cairney 2) the failure to defend a lead. No one seems to know what exactly is the injury of Cairney hence the difficulty of treating it other than by rest. He will certainly not be [...]

The currently-embattled Football Association’s new Women’s Super League season kicked off last night with the female version of a famous ‘city derby’ match between Everton Ladies and Liverpool Ladies played at Widnes. Reports of the match will testify that the match ended in a 0-2 [...]

Looking without touching

Yesterday, a freebie ticket having come my way, I visited the 2017 Southampton Boat Show. Over the past decade and a half I would say I’ve averaged roughly a visit every other year to this annual event – not a bad score for someone who does not consider themselves a sailor. My reasons for [...]

Flying down to Rio

No doubt those Rusters who are sports fans will have done a double-take over their muesli bowls and toast & marmalade this morning when chancing upon the media story that Rio Ferdinand, legendary former Manchester United and England defender, is switching sports to become a professional boxer [...]

Evaluating the day

I do not know how it is for you 39 readers but I like to take account of the day before turning  in, evaluating the high and low spots. Yesterday was very much a full on day of 3 meetings, 2 at banks and one at Sussex CCC as  a committee member of a fund-raising arm of the cricket club. However [...]

Pargie’s rotten sporting weekend

I hate Kiradech Aphibarnrat, the pudgy Thai golfer. Mind, he speaks well of me and my intense dislike began at the the 15th hole of the Dutch yesterday. I had backed him each way at 40-1 and after 68 holes he was tourney leader. He double bogeyed the 15th. The 16th he hit a lovely pitch to the [...]
