All we ask.....

[Pinchy]

I have a hypothetical for you Pinchy: (and I ask this without having a dog in the 'bladey-blade' fight)

In your eyes is winning the league with a Blade in charge and a Blade captaining us any more preferable than winning the league without?

I could surround this with all sorts of contingencies, conditions, ifs and buts. Perhaps I could convey how much/little it matters to me in this way:

Yes I would rather win the league with the said Blades than without them. However I would sooner win the the league with a team of space aliens than come second with a team of Blades...
