* Arsenal win the FA Cup and that means an awful lot to this life-long fan. This has been an awful season, but the team have given us something to smile about… at last.

* I am not sure about the rushed resumption of football. I always favoured an abandoned season and reset to starting this season next season, but the money gets in the way.
