What’s Hot

Brighton 1 Newcastle 2

This game lived up to its top-of the-table-billing in a high octane encounter but it was a measure of luck that swung the game the Magpies way. The Seagulls took an early lead from a penalty. It seemed harsh but the referee said he had warned the players about holding in the box and then penalised [...]

Fiorentina 2 Torino 2

The word “casino” (crisis) could have been invented with Fiorentina in mind as throughout my support and my father’s there was rarely a period of calm. After conceding 4 second half goals v Borussia Monchengladbach and exiting the Europe League, Paolo Sousa’s job was on the [...]

SSGB

Often it is more accurate to review a new series after the second or third episode so I held back till I watched last Sunday’s second part of SSGB. The story is that the Nazis won the Battle of Britain, Churchill was executed and there was Nazi Occupation. This is well tramelled territory. In [...]

Brighton 3 Reading 0

Brighton’s victory Saturday night took us to the summit of Championship which position will be tested next Tuesday with the biggest game of the season in the Championship when Newcastle come a-calling. It was a typical cagey opening start. Sam Baldock hit the post with a twenty yard curling [...]

Al la Colthard: Langans Brasserie/ Iberica

There is something both interesting and eerie to visit a restaurant that is still going strong but is past its hey day. I was meeting up with an ex footballer- footballers love Langans – and he suggested this place. Peter Langan started the restaurant in Stratton Street at the site of the Coq [...]

More on cynical art dealing

After reading my post a friend sent me this article by Luke Johnson, the entrepreneur, on art dealing – THE TIMES It does share some points with my piece – notably that it’s an unregulated market and the naive collector should beware the dealer. I don’t agree with all of it [...]

Fiorentina 2 Borussia Monchengladbach 4 (3-4 aggregate)

Quite how Fiorentina contrived to lose this game after being 3 up on aggregate is beyond me. Our passionate fans, whilst urging Fiorentina on during the the game, booed them off at the final whistle. I can’t see Paolo Sousa surviving as the club reacts badly to defeats like this. With a one [...]

Meeting Ken Howard

I always enjoy the company of artist Ken Howard with whom I had dinner the other night at the Chelsea Arts Club. 85 years young he is still has a prodigious output mainly of places he has just visited. Known chiefly as a painter of light and use of contre jour technique (against the daylight) he is [...]

A la Colthard/Sartoria – Savile Row

A very old friend of mine has his birthday close to mine. So it’s become our tradition to give each other lunch at restaurants of our choice. My friend chose Sartoria for his birthday yesterday. I thought it rang a bell and remembered that Alan Tanner is a member of a Fulham FC dining club [...]

The Tanner Report/ FA Cup 5th round: Fulham 0 Spurs 3

When your defence concedes 2 goals at home to the likes of Wigan and Nottingham Forest you do not hold too much hope that they can keep a clean sheet against a Spurs side currently sitting in third place in the Premier. Within the first few minutes our defence was sliced open only for Spurs’ [...]
