FA Cup
City struggled past Wigan (who, unlike City, fielded a weakened team), a late Andrew Cole strike splitting the sides. The first three quarters of the game were rather dull but things livened up a bit after Jason Roberts came on for the pie-eaters and they committed a few more players forward, which opened things up for both sides.
Family Get-Together
My brother-in-law Haihong and his partner Mary came up for the new year celebrations and brought three friends along. We couldn't put them all up at home so we booked a room a the nearby Cornerstones Hotel, which was pretty good value. Leon wasn't too happy though, bursting into tears at the sight of all those strangers.
