A relief when after 21 hours Blogger was accessible again; even more of a relief there were no problems today.

It’s an exciting day; it is the Football Association Cup Final between Stoke v Manchester City.

Richie and I want Stoke to win, not the millionaires club Manchester City, the other big game is Manchester United v Blackburn Rovers.

Really want Blackburn to win, but think not, Alec Ferguson, the Manchester United manager will want to win.

This will be the 19^th time his team have been top of the Premier League, winning today will make that a reality.

We watched the game between Stoke v Manchester City, sadly Stoke seem to have got stage fright as they hardly played at all.

Manchester City won 1-0; it was not the game we hoped for, a typical FA Cup Final, not much happening.

Manchester is a happy city tonight as Manchester United also won by getting a penalty.

Manchester City fans are happy tonight; this is their first FA Cup trophy since 1969, 42 years ago.

After the football we watched Dr Who which was very good, a great series, tonight it was exciting and a touch worrying, a perfect episode.

Now it’s the Eurovision Song Contest, the yearly kitsch pop competition, somehow almost compulsory, Azerbaijan have won, unbelievable, its been a pleasant day.
