Forgot About FA

There was a conspicuous absence on the blog over the weekend.

I didn't do the (what seems like) annual FA Cup Final post in which I point out which team I would like to win.

There's a simple reason why I didn't.

I forgot the FA Cup Final was over the weekend. For no clear reason whatsoever, I thought it was this weekend. My lapse wasn't realised until I came across a mention on TAFKA Twitter when an account I follow reposted a mocked up Ceefax results page from the game.

When my TV was immediately switched on, I saw the medals being distributed to the finalists. Damn. The first FA Cup I missed since my childhood.

You can see Ceefax 303's repost, of Telescore's image, below.


With all that aside, I would have backed the wrong horse.

Chelsea would have been the underdogs. I often go for the longshots whenever I've written those posts, so I am sure I would have picked the London club over the dominant Northern team.

The final score was 1-0 to City.
