They say hindsight is 20/20, and that's certainly true. That doesn't make it worthless though, especially when the party involved has already made a few questionable decisions in the past. So then, Mr. Grant, let me ask you why you didn't start John Terry, Frank Lampard, and Nicolas Anelka yesterday in your Champions League Round of […]
