Cover Caption This Week's Cover: Cup final day makes prophets of us all, and bores of our friends. There is obscure talk of lucky dressing rooms, wandering wingers and off-side traps, and in most homes the victors are chosen by an annoyingly confident innocent who likes the colour of their shirts. It's football's state occasion. Sportsmen from polo players to poachers fight to be among the lucky 100,000 who fill Wembley Stadium, and for the rest – or eleven million of them, anyway – there's television, the supreme reporter. Cover artist Nash is not a soccer fan; his sympathies are with the dog who want's to go for a walk, and the little girl who would rather play dolls.
