The Tanner Report: Rotherham 0 Fulham 1

Fulham condemned Rotherham to relegation as they gritted out a win against a side who played with the brio of the condemned man eating his final meal. Crucially for the first time since September we are in a play-off place but on Tuesday we travel to Derby whilst Sheffield Wednesday whom we [...]

Nice/a contrarian view

Despite the title of this post I am enjoying this stay, as much as any of the Rusters appreciate Nice, but do feel some more negative points can be fairly made. It’s already been pointed out that there are plaques throughout the city commemorating the Free French resistance and a war memorial [...]

Appreciating Nice

I have visited Nice many times and regard it as an underrated city. For many it is the gateway to the Riviera: to Antibes, Cannes and St Tropez to the east to Beaulieu, Cap Ferrat and Monte Carlo to the west. It would never for example be compared to Barcelona as a port city. Yet it has much to [...]

It’s Just Banter/ Leroy Rosenior

Leroy Rosenior’s autobiography will be of interest beyond the supporters of the 3 clubs he played for – Fulham, QPR and West Ham and the three he managed Bristol City, Torquay and Brentford. Born in Sierra Leone, whom he later managed for 2 games, growing up in Brixton in the sixties [...]

Nice times

Michel de Vacri It’s been such fun to see our friends from the Rust here. Yesterday I took time out to watch France play a friendly against Spain which we lost 2-0. The game was noticeable for the use of video evidence which resulted in the referee disallowing a Griezmann goal and allowing a [...]

A la Colthard

GRAND HOTEL DU CAP FERRAT Whilst unquestionably a hotel that justifies its name in terms of location, elegance and amenity and one we always visit every year they were a bit naughty with their pricing. 14 Euros for a latte? Come on!!! After being charged 60 euros just to use the pool!!! Admittedly, [...]

The Bugatti Queen/ Miranda Seymour

Miranda Seymour has written an outstanding biography of a woman of whom I have never heard, Helene Delangle aka Helle Nice arguably the finest female racing driver of all time. Born at the very start of the twentieth century, in a provincial French family, her father was a postman, she first went [...]

The French Presidential election

It looks very likely that the two front runners Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen will emerge as victors in the first round on April 23rd. In the polls Macron is one point ahead of Le Pen but has a considerable lead in the final round of a two way shoot out in May. Macron has arrived by default as [...]

Me and Marc Chagall

It’s funny how one’s tastes in anything can change over one’s life. I never could enjoy or appreciate the art of Marc Chagall as its biblical representation did not reach me. My parents hung a reproduction in their bathroom of his home town, where my grandfather too was born, [...]

A la Colthard

I always enjoy the Rust trip to Nice. March and April supposedly spring can be cold and windy in the UK whilst it is 15 degrees here. On our first night we went to La Petite Maison. I too was overwhelmed by the warmth of welcome of its owner Nicole as her rudeness is legendary and only matched by [...]
