If... SWP had scored against WBA Hill had scored against Bolton Cisse had stayed on against Wolves Barton had stayed on against Norwich We'd be talking about how great next season was going to be... If... The most annoying word in the English language...
I never knew whether my great aunt had bollox. She did have a deep voice and a hairy upper lip (it was like being kissed on the cheek by a brillo pad) so I was always suspicious...
Never met your auntie but back to the topic of "If" - seems to me that there was an interesting movie by that name - Lindsay Anderson, maybe?
Should've done this to Cameron and his Eton chums... [video=youtube;GJ1LG08ssaM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJ1LG08ssaM&feature=related[/video]
If them Goons hadn't sold up we'd be selling top dollar match tickets and blue and white kipper ties to tourists by now; and looking forward to playing in the Champions League... or was that Championsheep?!!
All the instances in the OP are good examples of game changers that probably cost us dearly. I was thinking earlier, after someone mentioned Agyemang in another thread, about the smaller, almost unnoticed things that can make or break a season. How different would our season have been had Agyemang converted that rebound off the woodwork against Wigan last August? It really was a six-pointer.
