Hey, saying Tuesday follows Monday is a million pound industry. That's what TV pundits are all about, not to mention match commentators. I'm trying to get me self pieze of da pie so don't spoil my bright future.

Ah, but you can make your money two ways.
Whether you say that Tuesday follows Monday, or that Monday comes (some time) after Tuesday, you'll be right either way!
