Crystal Palace 1 Brighton HAFC 1

The spoils were divided in the M23 derby with a late equaliser in the 95th minute by Neal Maupay. Given the dislike of the rival fans this match was less toxic than past encounters though emotions spilled over after the final whistle and the Brighton team hurriedly exited the pitch. Had Brighton [...]

The Tanner Report: have Fulham been worked out?

With only one point from our last three Championship games and a defeat at home to out of form Leeds in the Caribou Cup the question needs to be asked – indeed addressed – if Fulham have been rumbled. Marco Silva’s flowing style took us to the top of the Championship but now sides are [...]

USA set to regain Ryder Cup

With their lead now extended to 6 points (11-5), the USA now only need 3 1/2 points in the singles to regain the Ryder Cup. Finally in the afternoon four balls the Europeans showed some defiance drawing 2-2. To some consternation – but not mine – Rory Mcilroy was dropped in the morning [...]

Ryder Cup day one: USA 6 Team Europe 2

The boys in the clubhouse gave me quite a bit of gyp for my betting support of the American team. I do want Europe to retain the Ryder Cup but I do not believe they will as the USA have the superior team. The morning press drew hope from the continuing spat between Brooks Koepka and Bryson [...]

Ryder Cup Review

I have placed my bets – a USA win: a victory of 15 1/2 to 12 1/2 or  15-13; and Patrick Cantlay as top rookie. The two captains have made their opening foursome picks. British golf clubs are totally familiar with the two-ball foursome – some even insist on it – the Americans less [...]

TED DEXTER’S FUNERAL

It is somewhat ironic that Ted Dexter, who was born on the Ligurian coast, raised in an elegant flat in the Piazza Repubblica in Milan – his father holding the Lloyd’s brokerage for Italy – and who settled happily in Nice and could be described as a lover of the seas – [...]

Golfing weekend & Ryder Cup build up

I swerved the Fortinet US PGA event last weekend which was not my greatest call as the analyst in the Racing and Football Outlook predicted the winner Max Homa and the third place at a tasty each way price Chilean Mito Pereira. I bet Jon Rahm wished he had done the same. The Spaniard missed the cut [...]

Goodwood Revival 2021

Yesterday I was invited to Goodwood Revival, a celebration of classic car motor racing on the Goodwood circuit. The event is a  sell-out as it attracts a global audience, most of whom are in 1930s and 40s dress. Military uniform and overalls are most popular with the men, pleated dresses and [...]

The Tanner Report: Fulham 1 Reading 2

I have a wholly irrational view that my build up to a match somehow affects the result. Thus on arrival at Victoria I learned the Circle and District lines were down and I would have to take a convoluted route to Parsons Green where I meet friends for lunch and this meant Fulham would not play [...]

The dawn of a new (rugby) season

English rugby’s Premiership 2021/2022 kicked off last night at Ashton Gate, the home ground of Bristol Bears, last year’s “winners” of the regular (league) season and favourites to win the Final who then suffered a Devon Loch-like failure in their semi-final play-off against the Harlequins. [...]
