    Not sure watching Barcelona sends many people to sleep.................unless they are not sure what they are witnessing.

    Very moving scenes coming from Wembley. A sea of blue and red.

    Can't help feeling a little disappointed that there are other games going on today. This should be THE showpiece event to close the season.

    Anyway, just a few minutes to go. Malc and I are pushing the boat out and sharing a half bottle of Emva Cream!

    What to do! I'd like Manchester City to win as an irritant to Manchester United.

    But I'd also like Stoke City to win, to spite all the airy-fairy observers who criticise their football style. Especially Arsene Wenger, and those who cream their underpants watching Barcelona carry out 500 tippy-tappy passes in the middle third of the pitch which send the rest of us to sleep.

    I'm going for the underdog.

    FA Cup Final? Are they still doing that?

    Oh well, thank God it's over and done with for another year. Maybe they'll have managed to get rid of it next time round

    Being a soccer 'afficianado' I spotted straight away that your holdall has a printing error. Stoke City, managed by Tony Waddington, actually won the League Cup in 1972, not 1974.

    However, like a misprinted stamp, your holdall might be worth quite a bit of money to a collector.

Then we'll see the teams arrive in their coaches and walk out to inspect the pitch at which point we'll get to see for the first time what suits the teams are wearing.

    Then, as the action is about to begin we'll see the Princess Royal being introduced to the teams and enjoy a spine tingling rendition of Abide with Me accompanied by the band of the Coldstream Guards.

    Not that I was much cop at football mind you. Our school pitch was right next to the railway line so I often shirked my defensive duties for want of getting the number of of a class 52 "Western" that may have been thundering past as a particularly well directed corner was whipped into our 6 yard box.

    This did not always make me particularly popular with the other boys.

    Be that as may, not only am I going to watch tomorrow's FA Cup Final but I'm going to make a special point of watching all the build too.
