Sometimes you just have to give credit

Yesterday, despite the attractions of the sunny weather on the south coast, I strapped myself in and watched the European Rugby Champions Cup Final (kick-off 5.00pm at Murrayfield) ‘live’ on BT Sport from end to end. It was won for the second year running by Saracens, this time by the margin of [...]

Southampton 0 Arsenal 2

Although Southampton is not that far from Brighton, a direct, picturesque but slow rail trip along the coast or a car journey down the A/M27, I do not get there that often. This said, I have great admiration for their football team. Over the last few years their owner has passed away, they have [...]

The mince-grinder of sporting success

The English Premiership season is drawing to its play-off stage and, appropriately perhaps, the one thing that can be said for those clubs involved [Wasps, Exeter Chiefs Saracens and Leicester Tigers] is that – over the course of the competition – there can be no dispute that the best four are [...]

It was a long but satisfying day travelling up to Sheffield by car with Bob Tickler’s Godson Jamie and 2 other Fulham supporters. Sheffield Wednesday fielded a team of reserves and despite taking the lead were all but overwhelmed by a stronger Fulham team who won 2-1 but failed to maximise [...]

Fulham’s flowering youth

Over the years I have supported the Whites we have produced some impressive youngsters. Johnny Haynes went on to captain England and another one club Cottager George Cohen a World Cup winner. In the sixties we produced loyal servants like Fred Callaghan and Stan Brown and a crop of exciting kids in [...]

Not a great time for Sussex Sport

With Brighton HAFC losing their last 2 matches thus downgrading their chances of being crowned champions and a stuttering start to the season by Sussex CCC the last fortnight has been troubling for us Sussex sports enthusiasts. At Sussex CCC there have been significant changes. President David [...]

The golfing weekend and other matters

Once again Jeremy Chapman came up trumps with his third consecutive winner, Alexandre Levy in the Volvo European event in Beijing. I have a bit of Jewish blood in me so I found myself rooting for the swarthy young Frenchman for reasons beyond lucre. France has produced some exciting golfers [...]

The Tanner Report- phew!

Fulham have earned the reputation over all the years I have supported them as the Great Escapologists with the most unlikely of results but conversely they have tormented us by failing to finish the simplest of jobs. Yesterday all we needed to do was beat or equal Leeds’s result. We drew, [...]
