Over

Surprised and puzzled (but somewhat gratified) that the Arse didn't bother to turn up for yesterday's game. Let's hope they decide to do something serious at Stamford Bridge - they're well capable of it. It ain't over until it's over.

Though it looks all over for what's left of John Terry's reputation. It's odd how the notion of character is often applied to those who clearly don't have it.

And, on a more domestic note, it's all over for Tim Winton's Dirt Music. Except for what will live on in memory - which is plenty.
