Introduction


Can each day be headlined by a word (or two) and represented by a single sentence?

Will they, in turn, weave together to form a tapestry of the year?

It may be more mundane than momentous, but it’s mine to share.

Cup Tickets

A quiet day, but took the opportunity to nip to the Riverside Stadium in Middlesbrough to get tickets for tomorrow’s FA Cup 3rd round tie against Hull City, for which there appeared to be no great demand; this is no surprise with so many managers, players and owners rating Premiership (or even Championship) cash higher than cup glory, and fielding weakened teams as a result, but for me I would rather see a team have a good go at a cup - it is the giant killing acts and occasional trophy wins that provide the fans’ memories, not years of struggling mediocrity.
