    IF

    Crystal Palace beat Stoke, Bournemouth beat Swansea, West Brom beat Tottenham, Everton beat Southampton, Swansea and Southampton draw, West Brom beat Crystal Palace, Man City beat Southampton, and Stoke beat Swansea, we get to play Wolves next season.

    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 on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
    And lose, and start again at your beginnings
    And never breathe 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!

    If only we had sacked Pardew earlier or better still never appointed him at all. Saying that, i feel cheated by some of our players and want them gone.

    Yes. 4 games earlier when it was obvious he wasn't the man for the job (in truth he never was) may have made all the difference. Oh well, it's not that bad in the Championship!

    Perhaps you read it on a box or something while you were eating his 'Exceedingly good cakes'.....

    It was on Facebook. Irishbaggie who used to post on here and came over for games occasionally posted it.
