Whitey Grandad

There are alternate possibilities but they aren't the reality until it happens. The clue is in the 'sometimes', but the tide will come in again tomorrow, I can guarantee that.

Not sending off Gerrard was worse.

There are no alternate realities, just this one. Sometimes an event is inevitable no matter how hard you try to avoid it.

That was never a penalty, just a coming together. They keep showing replays from the wrong angle.

There's a divinity that shapes our ends, Rough-hew them how we will,-- Hamlet.

That doesn't prove anything. He wasn't, so he was, so I am. Anyway, my grandad's were too old for either war. These are all conjectures. There is only one past, so there is only one future for that past. Up to now, at least.

Could be worse

We don't know that and we can't prove it either way. Maybe everything turns out the same way every time?

That's because it's a load of billhooks.

In France it's only news if they don't dip their wicks.

Butterflies don't have an effect on anything. Anyway, it's all pre-ordained.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, or something.

Aren't the numbers fixed at the start of the third round, or something?

Is 'Hooiveld' dutch for 'wooden leg'?

That's what upsets me. I'm not comfortable supporting a club that doesn't go into every game wanting to win it.

Not his alone. He toed the ball away with the wrong foot instead of clearing it. All three of them had a part to play. It was a defensive shambles.

Whatever the reason it's clear that the management at the club don't give two hoots about The Cup.

Yesterday wasn't brilliant.

I presume you didn't watch the whole game? The whole attitude was an insult to the game.

Me too, I didn't sleep well at all.

λεξικόν ?

If true then somebody up top has got their sums wrong.

Loyalty and support work both ways. The management should show some respect to the travelling fans too.

Yes, very poor. There were three at fault: Maya's feeble attempt at a pass forward. Jos's feeble flicking the ball away with the wrong foot (his left actually, is his other one wooden?) Victor's feeble attempt at an interception instead of closing down.

Yes, prize money for winning the four rounds from yesterday to the final is worth £3.24m plus the TV money. Winning the final alone is £1.8m with £900k for the losers.
