What’s Hot

Nordicana

Yesterday I went  to the Truman Brewery in Shoreditch for a symposium on Nordic drama. It was extremely well-attended, which reflects the popularity of The Killing, Borgen and The Bridge. Unfortunately the organisation bordered on the shambolic, which prompted me to say to one rude event hostess [...]

The Tanner Report

Although I was asked, as a window man, to set out my views on the transfer window, I thought it best to see whom we got in and, as important, whom we shipped out. We did good business: most of us are as pleased to say goodbye to Berbatov and Taarabt as we are sad that Aaron Hughes has left. Aaron [...]

Rory is back

Form can be so fragile and in golf, more than any other sport, its loss can be permanent. Will Tiger Woods win another major and catch Jack Nicklaus? Probably not. The Golden Bear won his final Masters, with his son caddying, aged 46. We were all worried last year for Rory McIlroy. Already with 2 [...]

The Watts Gallery

The Watts gallery which I visited yesterday with Dominic, a collector of Victorian painting, houses the work of George Frederick Watts (1817-1904), one of the most celebrated artists of his day. Watts married first the actress Ellen Terry when she was just 16 and Mary Seton Fraser herself 42 years [...]

The Tanner Report

Lets start with three statistics. I like statistics as they don’t lie, contrary to what Disraeli says, or rather they do so less so than the average Premier manager. Fulham have now conceded 50 goals in 23 games; we have the worst goal difference in all 4 divisions; Berbatov and Bent have [...]

1900 calories a day

Yesterday I had my second appointment with my dietitician. I had dutifully followed her advice since November, so I was rather embarrassed that I put on a stone in weight. Of course, as in most cases, I had not followed her advice and attributed the increase to the  gastronomic excesses of the [...]

The Tanner Report

Fulham made 11 changes with the trip to Swansea this Tuesday very much in mind. It’s always instructive to see our talented Academy kids and to speculate whether and what grade they will mature. Four started, Tankovic, Plumain, Passley and David. The absence of Anglo Saxon names reflects how [...]

My team/ Goole Town

People adopt a football team for all sorts of reasons. A few years ago I was on a club med holiday with my then boyfriend. We met a man called Eric, who worked for Marks and Spencers. He said their most popular dish was duck a l’ orange in every store ” from Sidmouth to Goole”. [...]

Dennis Turner 1946-2014

Every club has a historian and archivist, but not too many like our Dennis Turner who died suddenly yesterday. Now that Mr Al Fayed has retired and Johnny Haynes passed on, Dennis has a credible claim to be Mr Fulham: he edited, and was a programme contributor, for 34 years; he wrote definitive [...]

Tozi

  I detect something exciting and innovative in the restaurant scene. For the last 20 years it has been driven by celebrity chefs. Now new vistas are opening. I already praised, as have many, Mr Wong for its combination of street food and haute cuisine, in offering Hong Kong Chinese in a new [...]
