Getting ready to rumble

Just before lunchtime yesterday I decided to purchase my cable company’s pay-per-view offering of live coverage of the super-fight boxing bill featuring as its main event the world heavyweight championship bout between Britain’s supposed novice but greatly-hyped 27 year old Anthony Joshua and [...]

Golfing update

With our pages dominated by those cavorting on the Riviera I have had less opportunity to boast about my golf betting. Last weekend was the best ever with Jeremy Chapman picking the winner at the Heritage (Kevin Chappell) and Shenzhen (Bernard Wieberger in a play off with another Chappers pick [...]

The Tanner Report/a dream becomes a reality

It was only a month ago that the Fulham play-off challenge seemed to stutter after losing at home to Wolves. Since then we have won 5 out of 6 with some notable away scalps at Norwich when reduced to 10 men and Huddersfield yesterday. To go one down and then beat them 4-1 in a febrile atmosphere is [...]

Farewell to a legend

Yesterday it was announced that All Black and Harlequins fly half Nick Evans, 36, one of the most gifted rugby union exponents it has been my pleasure ever to set eyes upon, was to retire at the end of this season. There’s plenty that I could have mentioned in a piece to salute this [...]

The Tanner Report: Fulham 3 Aston Villa 1

With four successive wins following the victory over Aston Villa Fulham are in the play-off berths. Rather like a well-timed run in a horse race, we were stuck in the mid group but when we challenged in the last few lengths we hit the leaders with momentum.

From the footballing perspective I found it interesting but Melanie Gay, on [...]

Nice update

Michel De Vacri There was a possibility that yesterday if the results went our way OGM NIce would be top of the Ligue Une. Sadly league leaders Monaco beat Dijon 2-1 with a late goal from Falcoa though we won 3-1 over Nancy. We are certain of third place, the first such finish for 41 years , and [...]

The Tanner Report : Norwich 1 Fulham 3

Football fans are hypocritical creatures. Take the play-offs. Last season I commiserated with Ivan that his beloved Brighton should have to play against Sheffield Wednesday in the play-offs as they were 15 points and 4 places above them to determine promotion and they lost. This season Brighton are [...]
