What a cup final that was! Absolute determination and will to win saw Birmingham through, and as much as you have to feel sorry for the losing team and it's fans, those Blues players and the forty or fifty thousand 'Brummies' present really deserved that victory. Half the back four of the Birmingham team were limping for almost the entire second half, but somehow they got through it and made it to the final whistle. It was one of the most enjoyable games I have seen for a long time, again sorry to any Gunners fans out there, but even I was shouting at the TV for the Birmingham players to keep the ball in the corner at the end.
I have missed playing this beautiful game so, so much, and after witnessing that final yesterday I know why. You can't beat that underdog spirit, and a little closer to home here in Devon, I really hope Plymouth Argyle can beat the odds and survive after what has been a pretty torrid week on and off the pitch.

My lounge was full of Arsenal fans..so lots of glum faces could be seen at the end of the match.
But whatever has happened to the famous 'Arsenal back four'?
A blind man with a white stick, a donkey,a clown and a two year old could have done better!
I can understand Arsene Wenger not wanting to waste money but noone is asking him to spend a fortune ...just get that defence sorted out!
But I agree, it was great viewing and sometimes you have to forget your allegiance and just enjoy the match.
And if you thought that was exciting then equally so was the cricket...thank goodness for the record button!
Quite a weekend for sport,bearing in mind that there was also the rugby to take in the day before.
It beats housework, that's for sure! ;-)
