Return of the mack

This weekend sees the long awaited rerun of the finest F A Cup final ever. (1976 Saints 1 Man Utd 0)

While in the intervening period the two clubs fortunes have gone in opposite directions, the magic of the Cup means that we, at least, start the game thinking "you never know"!!! As an added treat my mate Dave (aka "the great Gonz") will be joining me to watch the game and those who know him will testify, that means it won't be a quiet afternoon. 

The real bonus is, however, that this weekend is full of TV reruns of Bobby Stokes winner and interviews with Lawrie McMenemy (Bobby sadly no longer being with us). Lawrie still talks very fondly and amusingly on that day, although his comments about the running of the club at present were a lot less fond!!

I'm sure by 6pm on Sunday the Saints 2009 FA Cup run will be well and truly over....but it just could be that the romance of the Cup lives on.
