The Tanner Report: West Ham 1 Fulham 0

The drama came in extra time. It seemed Fulham had held out for a draw when Thomss Soucek scored for West Ham  in extra time though both managers agreed that Haller who knocked the ball down was offside . Then, after consulting with the VAR team and the monitor ref Robert  Jones awarded a penalty [...]

The Bridge and The Undoing

Ostensibly the third series of the Swedish detective drama The Bridge and the HBO production The Undoing have little in common. The first is about police detection centred round Saga Noren of the Malmö Police brilliantly played by Sonia Helin. Her directness stemming from Asbergers Syndrome [...]

Brighton 0 Burnley 0

This was a game that is bound to be shown last on Match of The Day. The highlights can be condensed into 90 seconds. After apparently a bust up in training Matty Ryan in goal and forward Neil Maupay were restored to the team but there were no Solly March, Leandro Trossard, Davy Propper nor Lewis [...]

British Art of the Seventeenth Century

One of the best features of our art course is the ability of our tutor to place a period in art in context, be that social, philosophical or in the case of the Stuarts political. Charles I was unrivalled as as an art collector whatever his failings that led to the loss of his head. Whatever [...]

Winkworth Arboretum

I was probably two weeks late to appreciate the autumnal colours of the trees at Winkworth Arboretum near Godalming but still enjoyed yesterday the trails, views and colours. Laid down by a local doctor Wilfred  Fox at the start of the twentieth century and bequeathed to the National Trust [...]

A lunch both happy and sad

Yesterday I had lunch with three supporters of  Brighton HAFC whom I know well and see in the 1905 lounge but only once this year. One of them – J – sits in front of me and goes back on the train from the stadium with the other two who owned the pub. J, who invited me for lunch, is a [...]

The Tanner Report: Fulham 2 WBA 0

The relief was palpable. Fulham’s first win in the Premier and out of the relegation zone: a defence which had only conceded 3 goals in 3 matches kept a clean sheet; new signing Joachim Andersen in central defence looked the business and, recovering quicker than expected from an ankle injury, [...]

Spurs 2 Brighton HAFC 1

Brighton played doggedly in this defeat last night at the new Spurs stadium. There were 2 surprise omissions in the line up: keeper Matt Ryan was on the bench and forward Neil Maupay not even in the eighteen. One can only think this was for disciplinary reasons. Skipper and centre back Lewis Dunk [...]

Nobby Stiles

As with most who remember the only England team to win anything in our lifetime I was saddened when another of the ’66 boys passed away leaving now Bobby Charlton, George Cohen, Roger Hunt and Geoff Hurst. Henry Winter paid him eloquent tribute in The Times yesterday. However I disagreed with [...]

This old heart of mine

Yesterday I had an appointment with a local cardiologist as a follow-up to my annual medical with my doctor. The doctor with his stethoscope had picked up “A very soft murmur on the aorta”. I was rather freaked out by this and the reference in the referral letter  to “an early sign of heart [...]
