Just in

Sport

Palmer , HSBC and Sony

I could hardly wait to read Steve Palmer’s column in the Racing Post yesterday. He has trousered £17,000 after backing Andy Sullivan for the South African Open and Patrick Reed in Hawaii. He even had a double on them both. With a child on the way, just married, loss of nerve and out of [...]

The Tanner Report

I have already written now amazed and disturbed I am by the degree of fan dislike of Bryan Ruiz. Clearly a sensitive flower, it scarcely helps to raise his game if he has to  hear constant criticism from  his own fans. The transfer never really worked out and  joins the list of £10m plus [...]

Another Quins display to forget (hopefully)

There  is a small but vital margin between being a fan of a sport and being a fan of a particular team. I can watch rugby union at any level of the game from internationals downwards, including seven-a-sides, but – in the style of the well-worn example concerning a full-cooked breakfast [...]

Albion assessed

We are all delighted with the start of Chris Hughton. Whereas Sami Hyppia had rather inflexible ideas about how his team should play but the group did not respond, Chris is more pragmatic basing his ideas on the potential of the players. He is very much a players’ manager. We are now unbeaten [...]

Not before time

Well, I suppose it was bound to happen. Tennis is the latest sport to diversify into a short version of itself in pursuit of popular appeal and further commercial success – see here in Paul Newman’s article today on the website of THE INDEPENDENT When you think about it, developments like this [...]

The Tanner Report

The 400 Fulham faithful that braved sub-Arctic conditions to see us proceed into the next round of the cup will remember this one for many years. It rather reminded me of a cup game more than 20 years ago when in conditions so awful that, were the two teams not earning from a Sky game, it would [...]

An evening at the Stoop

Preoccupied with email correspondence, last night I suddenly ‘came to’ at about 6.50pm, realised that it was only 40 minutes to kick-off in the Quins versus Bristol ‘A’ league friendly match, and had to get a wriggle on to get to the Stoop in time. With apologies for repeating myself, I [...]

Two winners backed

I can scarcely wait for Steve Palmer’s column this Sunday as he picked both the winner of the South African Open – Andy Sullivan- and that of the Hyundai Classic- Patrick Reed. This is some punting though there was reduced field in the latter classic. John Pargitennerr did not even have [...]

A trip to the Midlands

For reasons of mutual interest which need not concern my readers, yesterday I collected my brother in Putney in south-west London at 9.00am and drove to Rugby School in Warwickshire in order to watch a school rugby match between Rugby and Sedbergh. Within less than a minute of setting off from my [...]

The Tanner Report

We have not managed a goal in our last 4 games and are by no means secure with 28 points in 18th place. We do have a prolific scorer – 5 in 9 outings- but Matt Smith is striking for Bristol City on loan not us, Ryan Tunnicliffe was called back from Blackburn Rovers and did feature. One player [...]
