Glossing over Saints' win

A poor game but a great day out at Wembley.

A sign on the door of a closed cafe near Euston station!

OK, so Carlisle didn't win on Sunday but they and their fans did the game proud. It was a grand weekend in the Big Smoke for everyone - well, except those caught up in the nightmare of trying to get there by train. I'm with Private Eye's oft-quoted sentiment: British Rail should only be used in emergencies. This sign caught my eye on the door of a closed cafe near to Euston - very clever! There were so many happy memories of the weekend - the black humour of the fans of course shouting "We're gonna win 5-4" once Carlisle had found the back of the net. And I liked the T-shirts worn by a number of fans declaring: Wish You Were Here. And showing a picture of Ken Bates!
