The Tanner Report: Aston Villa 0 Fulham 1

So in one month, in one competition we won a play-off game against Derby and we won a major final. 43 years ago I went to Wembley to see Fulham lose to West Ham due to two goalkeeping errors. 7 years ago I travelled to Hamburg and this time Athletico Madrid – with the likes of Aguerro and de [...]

The Tanner Report: Millwall 0 Fulham 3

Fulham had a stern examination at Millwall, unbeaten since November, but passed it with flying colours. It was a shaky start when Millwall’s crosses tested a Fulham defence that is not always dominant aerially. I was impressed by Millwall. They play a physical game but not without skill. In [...]

Dolce Vita Confidential /Shaun Levy

I very much enjoyed this affectionately appreciation of Cinecitta, the great rise and contribution to world cinema by Italy, which is also known as “Hollywood on the Tiber.” I am a huge fan of Italian cinema and the book is a worthy addition to my film library.

Une Journee sur la Cote

Michel Di Vacri We so enjoy the Rust visit here. ‘Monsieur Tickle’ as he is known is quite a character in a region where many British characters have settled. They chose a good time of the year. In May we have the Cannes film festival and Monaco Grand Prix so things get hectic and stay [...]

Brave new shopping

In my Italian class I noted the teacher had a lead from his laptop transferring the film to the big screen. I decided to acquire one and spoke to my tv guru, a most affable young man called Tom who bears startling similarity to my p/a Polly. Tom said this could readily be acquired from the Apple [...]

Brighton 0 Chelsea 4

When Pargie called in the morning asking me whether he should lay Chelsea at 8-11 I advised not. Ok, they are not in good form of late and went into the match without Morata, Pedro, Fabregas, Drinkwater, Cahill and Courtois but these big Premier sides have deep squads and pockets. It was Willan and [...]

Al la Colthard

Melbourne is both bi-cultural and multi-cultural. The dominant cultures are American and British. The skyline is one of skyscrapers, there is a grid system of blocks. You feel you are in Houston or Seattle. Alongside this the Queen is on the coin, the Union Jack on the flag and there is colonial [...]

Second day

This was a far better day for England and cricket as play ebbed to and fro, England in the ascendancy with Stuart Broad, Alistair Cook and Joe Root all reviving their reputations though of course it’s now meaningless. Again I will assume readers have read reports and followed the events [...]

Today the National Rust delegation leaves for a trip Down Under to Australasia. We asked each of the party for their views   Algy Bellville “Think New Zealand wines and you think Sauvignon Blanc but their cool climate with hot summers produces a lot of interesting wines. I am [...]

A Family Celebration

Last night I travelled up to North London for the bar mitzvah of my grand nephew. It’s a 24 hour celebration of festivities beginning with a Sabbath dinner last night, lunch and dinner today. I was billeted at a hotel nearby. Orthodox Jews do not drive on the Sabbath so everyone present at [...]
