If he'd have scored than everything that happened afterwards in the game would have been different and nobody knows how it would have panned out.You could ask 'what if' about any incident in any game and spend the rest of your time creating fantasy matches in your head, which is all this is.
I often wonder what would've happened if we'd have bought Teddy Sheringham instead of Tony Cascarino.
Biggest one for me is April 10th 1993."What if...................?"
Good old Telly, taking time out from admiring Birmingham's blossom to murder this song by Bread.

The lads probably had nightmares over it, and he shouldn't, because in the end we won.

The lads probably had nightmares over it, and he shouldn't, because in the end we won.I doubt very much that he's had nightmares over it. It isn't the first bad miss he's made and it won't be the last.The same could be said for every striker, ever, in the history of football.You could make a hypothetical scenario about every single kick in a game. Change one thing and entire game changes afterwards.If he'd scored would the ball have had to be cleared off the line by Bent? The second half would be influenced by the first half, which would be different.Would West Ham have attacked more and scored, would a player have made a bad challenge and got sent off, would we have scored more. The possibilities are infinite and ultimately pointless.
