Axiom that states that anything that can go wrong will go wrong (3'1,3) (4,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sods law

(Other definitions for sods law that I've seen before include "'The principle that says that anything that can go wrong will go wrong (4,3)'" , "That which suggests that, if something can go wrong, it will!" , "Why one can't win" , "Rule that if anything can go wrong it will" , "This is bound to happen" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
