GLAD ALL OVER?
Like Selhurst Park, Football Daily’s local boozer is a fairly ramshackle, rough-and-ready establishment located in a small corner of south-west London that is an excellent place to go when the football’s on. During the FA Cup final, it was full of football fans whose allegiances lie with a wide variety of different teams across various divisions, none of whom happened to be Crystal Palace or Manchester City. You wouldn’t have thought it at the final whistle, mind, when for the first time in living memory this particular pub’s entire clientele was completely united in its celebration of the outcome of a football match shown live on the pub TV screens. With irritation or indifference conspicuous by its absence, each and every person present was genuinely thrilled that Palace had won and denied Pep Guardiola’s state-owned side the opportunity to salvage something from the wreckage of their season.
