Wake me up, when someone wins the cup

"I'm going to have a snooze, shout if someone scores." The words of my mother this afternoon, and she hadn't even had to sit through the first half.

Yes, this afternoon's FA cup final was probably one of the dullest games of the 2006/07 season and a real let down for what was supposed to be the beginning of a new era in Wembley history.

Last Saturday, we had sat down and watched the FA trophy final (supporting Kidderminster for the day), and what a game that was! Even though the result was disappointing for around 25,000 Kiddy Harriers fans (more than they'll see til their next trip to the capital), it was a storming game and it had it all. So it's fair to say I was quite expectent before today's encounter between the 2 best sides in English football. What a let down.

All I can say is this, aren't you all glad now that those 2 aren't also contesting the Champions League final on Wednesday? Because believe me, after today, they really will have absolutely nothing more left in them this season, and it would have been the biggest waste of air miles ever.

As it is, I shall be a Liverpool fan for the night on Wednesday. You may think that sounds obvious, however I do know people who will be supporting Milan. Not me though, I just can't do it, as far as I'm concerned, it's England v Italy, and it should be a cracker. Well it can't be much worse than today anyway.

Hello, good evening and welcome!

Well, here it is, my first attempt at so called "blogging", and it hasn't got off to the best start. I have already had to edit this post, because I managed to write absolutely nothing apart from the title in the first instance. But attempt number 2 seems to be going a little better (well so far anyway). So hopefully, I will get the hang of this thing and start writing something worth reading soon (although I wouldn't count on it).

That'll do for now then.
Cheers
