Manchester City win the FA Cup

After thirty five years, the team that Alison has supported all her life has won a trophy. There have been many ups and downs during that time. We have seen them relegated to the third tier of English football, joined the away supporters behind the goal at Oxford United's old ground, and been regularly humbled by lower league opposition in various cup competitions. But that is all at an end. Qualification for the Champions League and winning the FA Cup all in the same week. Extraordinary.
On Friday, Alison was thrilled when she came back from swimming to see balloons in City blue outside the front door. The internet is just brilliant when you need to buy something so specific. And there are a few left for next time.
