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 Run

Yesterday’s jaunt to the Etihad could have put an end to this season’s sequence of FA Cup ties visited (one from every qualifying round so far) but fortunately the game at Hartlepool was scheduled for today so I was able to keep the run going for another round at least; there were significant contrasts in the two matchday experiences as today I was on my todd, the weather was wet and windy, the crowd was fifty thousand fewer (but no less enthusiastic), and the players weren’t household names, but on the other hand it took only thirty minutes to get to the ground and I was closer to the action.
