FA Cup

This afternoon, Cardiff plays host to the FA Cup final for, I think, the fifth year in a row, and probably the last. The new Wembley is scheduled to be finished by next May.

I have mixed feelings over this. On the one hand, having the big games here has been a lot of fun, and good for the city. But on the other, I won't miss having the city centre turned into a no-go area for the locals on match day. After all, when the city is home to only about 300,000 souls, having another 70,000 descend on us in one weekend is kind of a big thing.

Today's game involves Man U and Arsenal - so, just for Sej - Come On Arsenal!
