The Tanner Report

Last night in the Capital Cup Fulham disposed of a Sheffield United team that made 10 changes from the side that played Blackpool to earn a tie against Stoke managed by our former boss Mark Hughes. It was good to see Ross MacCormack, who had looked sluggish so far, net two goals and young Moussa [...]

The Shoreham Air Disaster

When the editor, Miles Piper of the National Rust called me my initial reaction was he wanted a piece on the Championships in China. I was ready to excoriate Justin Gatlin  a convicted drug cheat who has been twice suspended and declare my delight that Usain Bolt beat him. In fact the editor [...]

Fiorentina file

Fiorentina have got off to a good start under new coach Paolo Sousa who has taken over from Vincenzo Montella. We beat Barcelona and Chelsea in the International Champions Cup.

a full day at Hove

I have an old friend, a barrister, who over the years has been kind to me and offered first rate advice and judgment in property matters in which he specialises. Earlier in the summer I invited him to choose a Sussex CCC match as he is an aficionado of county cricket and the one he selected was [...]

the Oval

Compared to the patrician Lords, The Kia Oval is the “people’s ground”… and they are welcome to it. I consider it one of the least attractive, untidiest sporting venues anywhere. As with many inner city stadia including Lords, Stamford Bridge or Craven Cottage, access too it [...]

the Tanner Report: Hull 2 Fulham 1

“Things are going to have to change and sharpish” was Kit Symons’ post match comment. He’s right and what might change first is his job. We have one point out of nine, had we closed our last two games we would have had 3 draws but once again a late goal did for us. Contrast [...]

Churchill: the artist

When I saw that a programme on BBC 4 about Winston Churchill the artist was to be presented by Andrew Marr, I sighed as I anticipated it would be as much about Marr as Churchill. I imagine as he is one of  BBC’s star turns it was he who insisted on making the programme which was called Marr [...]

Brighton top, Sussex sharks bottom

When John Pargiter called for a betting tip on the Fulham v Brighton match, both Alan and I agreed that a draw was the likeliest result. After Chris Hughton took over as manager he was adept at grinding out 0-0 draws and the defence stayed tight. I was therefore surpised that we came out of the [...]

THE PGA

Of the four Majors the least covetable, the PGA, often produces an excellent tourney. There is something over familiar about the Masters. You know the week before the same old articles will be dredged off the computer of us golf writers on the azaleas and dogwoods, the course designed by Bobby [...]
