Ooooh, does anybody know what position Wigan & Man City's Cup Final records reached in the Hit Parade this year?
I can't believe it! Did you miss seeing Top of the Pops on Thursday?

I was one of the unlucky ones whose first Cup final they remember was 1979 - a lot to live up to!!
Only other decent ones were Utd- Palace 90 (both semi's were great too - obviously not Palace winning for you lot) - and 2000 - Arse - Liverpool? also Liverpool v West Ham
Worst - 1996 Man U v Liverpool. Boring as hell and then Utd won.
I did
I can't see City's effort making the Top Ten, what with Cliff Richard's new record being out and the Quo releasing their long awaited double A side, but it would be nice to think Wigan's excellent Wi-Gonna Go All The Way (This Year) might challenge Nik Kershaw and USA For Africa for the coveted #1 spot.
I had to think quite hard to remember who was actually in the final. Kids today, don't know their born - Cup Final day was when the whole nation stopped almost, wall to wall coverage all day, 15:00 kick off, last game of the season (unless their had been serious disruption to fixtures due to bad weather).
I reckon those people would be just about on the escalator towards WHSmiths nowHere's Churchill Square at 3pm on FA Cup Final day on 21st May 1983:
Wigan are playing well. Hope they do it.
We all know with absolute certainty that Man City are going to win - probably by 2 or 3 goals, maybe more.
What's the point in watching?
