Premier League: 10 talking points from the weekend’s action

Delap’s talents resurface in style, Gómez delights Brighton with more fireworks, and hair-pulling confusion at Everton It would have been very easy for Oliver Glasner to lose patience with Liam Delap. The forward is still only 23, yet the days when he was rattling in 12 in a Premier League season for Ipswich have come to seem a very long time ago (and his six games for Manchester City even longer). A season at Chelsea had left him bereft of confidence, an odd mix of diffidence and overaggression, devoid of composure in the box, arms flailing like a broken windmill. But the old gifts have not l

‘My father loved Duncan more than he loved us’: the 30-year passion at the heart of the Bloomsbury set – and the family raised in its image

As the work of Bloomsbury artist Duncan Grant features in a major exhibition, Cordelia Roche reflects on her father’s decades-long relationship with the painter – as friend, muse, but never lover After Duncan Grant died in our house, in Aldermaston in Berkshire, at the age of 93, I remember my father’s knees buckling and him falling to the ground. It was 1978, the end of their 32-year relationship, and the end of an era. My father Paul Roche, a poet, writer and translator of Greek plays, seemed to crumble before my eyes. He was 61, a father of five, and I was the youngest. Duncan, the painter,
