Source of inspiration?

[The Esk]

Imagine for a moment you get a call from Bobby and he asks you to suggest a source of inspiration to be used in the dressing room prior to the game today.

What would it be? It can be anything, music, film, memory from the past, an inspiring individual, a quote or a piece of poetry, a former player or manager perhaps.

What would you choose?

 

[Moomin]

Make them watch the semi final at Elland Road against Spurs.

Pictures of our fans at Anfield on Wednesday

 

[Muggins]

I would get that old man (the one in PremierLeague video last season) in to the dresser.

Show them a picture of the new manager and tell them they`re playing for their futures at the club.

I'd tell him to lash himself into on coming traffic

You play for Everton Football Club - if you don't know what that means then you can koff.

If you do, then get out there, face those fans and show them that you do.

 

[lancs blue]

Make them watch the semi final at Elland Road against Spurs.

Unfortunately niase aint no amokachi

 

[Fearthainn]

Show them photoshopped pictures of them in a Real Madrid shirt.

Or a pile of cash.

Not much else seems to motivate them.

Let's seek some external sources of inspiration rather than the obvious.

I've always used Henry V's speech on the morning of the Battle of Agincourt if I am facing a particularly challenging day or occasion and need some inspiration.

"That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse;
We would not die in that man's company
That fears his fellowship to die with us....

But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day."

Always, always stirs the blood, can walk through a brick wall on reading that speech.

I'd choose Jose Mourinho.
