MURPHY'S LAW
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Murphy's law is an adage in Western culture that broadly states "if anything can go wrong, it will." It is also cited as: "If there's more than one possible outcome of a job or task, and one of those outcomes will result in disaster or an undesirable consequence, then somebody will do it that way"; "Anything that can go wrong, will," the similar "Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong"; or, "Whatever can go wrong will go wrong, and at the worst possible time, in the worst possible way". The saying is sometimes referred to as Sod's law or Finagle's law.

THREE in...three to go. Everton's transfer activity has finally started producing deals, although it's clear the manager's sights have been duly lowered.

AT SOME point between becoming Finch Farm's own version of nay-sayer Nostradamus, and tw*tting the phone down on foreign agents so hard that it smashes, David Moyes found time to put out a winning side this weekend.

DID you ever see that film? Christian Bale - what an actor...
I'd have a lot more positive things to say about Bale's back catalogue than I could ever find about Everton today.

THE MESSAGE boards are throbbing with discontent, Moyes is keeping his mouth shut as he scours the market, and our chairman's protestations seem hollower by the day.
It remains worrying and gloomy times for blues at the moment.

MY mate Phil had parents with a slightly peculiar sense of humour.
Never prolific with the Christmas presents, he would usually get the latest Everton top to unwrap under the tree each year.

NOBODY does world-weary, 18-carat, feet-dragging misery quite like Evertonians.
Let's face it, we're more than partial to frequent bouts of self-flagellation, doubt and pessimism.
