Images of the FA cup

This will appeal to football fans. Today was FA Cup third round day. Dreams of a cup run to Wembley. The uncertainty and romance of the cup. Well that was the start of the day. The images capture some of the essentials. Climbing up to the upper tier. Bovril (where else do you drink bovril?) to keep warm, your seat, the crowd gathering, the photographers snapping and then and then intense disappointment when your team flatters to deceive. The game is lost, the recriminations start, you are cold, hungry and wish you had stayed at home.

Still there is always next year!
