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.

No Cup Run

The annual quest to take in a match from every round of the FA Cup and FA Vase has suffered this year with rounds in the two competitions sometimes (like today) clashing, requiring a choice to be made in favour of the Vase, being more local longer and having real potential to go all the way to the Wembley final (as last season); today’s plans to attend a Vase last-sixteen tie at West Auckland or Spennymoor were scuppered by late postponements due to waterlogged pitches, opening up a window to go to the Sunderland v Southampton FA Cup tie, immediately closed as by then it was too late to get to the early kick off, leaving only plan C comprising Man City v Chelsea on the TV, so at least a frustrating day ended on a high.
