From the famous poem

If people all around you are losing their heads and you can keep yours, ... then you will be a man my son.

Come on all of your moaners/ short timers. Please take a more constructive view of things.

The season is over as far as league positions are concerned. Lets use the remaining few games to bring on the youngsters and try a few new ideas.

BT is a new manager, what did you really expect in his first year?

Lets stand up and be counted.

CTID or City till things get a bit rough?

(If people all around you are losing their heads and you can keep yours, ... then you will be a man my son.)

It is also by a lesser known man called Rudyard Kipling, who also makes very nice cakes !

Just to bore you

[iF]

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you

But make allowance for their doubting too,

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or being hated, don't give way to hating,

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,

If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breath a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;

If all men count with you, but none too much,

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!

--Rudyard Kipling
