Thinks of Al Pacino's voice cracking with emotion whilst delivering this speech, and your spirits wont fail to be lifted :

'I DONT KNOW WHAT TO SAY REALLY....

3 MINUTES UNTIL THE BIGGEST BATTLE OF OUR PROFFESSIONAL LIVES....ALL COMES DOWN TO TODAY....

EITHER WE HEAL, AS A TEAM.....OR WE'RE GOING TO CRUMBLE

INCH BY INCH.....PLAY BY PLAY......TIL WE ARE FINISHED

WE ARE IN HELL NOW .......... GENTLEMEN......AND BELIEVE ME.....WE CAN STAY HERE, AND GET THE SHIT KICKED OUT OF US...OR....WE CAN FIGHT OUR WAY BACK.....INTO THE LIGHT...WE CAN CLIMB OUT OF HELL....ONE INCH AT A TIME

NOW I CANT DO IT FOR YOU....I AM TOO OLD. I LOOK AROUND NOW AND I SEE THESE YOUNG FACES AND I THINK......I MEAN......I MADE EVERY WRONG CHOICE A MIDDLE AGE MAN CAN MAKE.......I PISSED AWAY ALL MY MONEY, BELIEVE IT OR NOT.......I CHASED OFF EVERYONE WHO EVER LOVED ME.......AND LATELY, I CANT EVEN STAND THE FACE I SEE IN THE MIRROR

YOU KNOW WHEN YOU GET OLD IN LIFE....THINGS GET TAKEN FROM YOU...I MEAN..THATS...THATS PART OF LIFE...BUT YOU ONLY LEARN THAT WHEN YOU START LOSING STUFF....YOU FIND OUT, LIFES THIS GAME OF INCHES......SO IS FOOTBALL...BECAUSE IN EITHER GAME....LIFE OR FOOTBALL......THE MARGIN FOR ERROR IS SO SMALL...I MEAN...ONE HALF A STEP TOO LATE, OR TOO EARLY AND YOU DONT QUITE MAKE IT........ONE HALF A SECOND TOO SLOW OR TOO FAST AND YOU DONT QUITE CATCH IT........THE INCHES WE NEED ARE EVERYWHERE AROUND US. THEY ARE IN EVERY BREAK OF THE GAME.....EVERY MINUTE...EVERY SECOND

ON THIS TEAM...WE FIGHT FOR THAT INCH......ON THIS TEAM WE TEAR OURSELVES AND EVERYONE AROUND US TO PIECES...FOR THAT INCH.......WE CLAW WITH OUR FINGERNAILS....FOR THAT INCH....BECAUSE WE KNOW...WHEN WE ADD UP ALL THOSE INCHES...THATS GOING TO MAKE THE FUCKING DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WINNING AND LOSING........BETWEEN LIVING AND DYING

I WILL TELL YOU THIS, IN ANY FIGHT.,...ITS THE GUY WHO IS WILLING TO DIE WHO IS GOING TO WIN THAT INCH...AND I KNOW IF I AM GOING TO HAVE ANY LIFE ANYMORE..ITS BECAUSE I AM STILL WILLING TO FIGHT AND DIE....FOR THAT INCH......BECAUSE THATS WHAT LIVING IS.......THE SIX INCHES IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE

NOW I CANT MAKE YOU DO IT......YOU GOT TO LOOK AT THE GUY NEXT TO YOU.....LOOK INTO HIS EYES.......NOW I THINK YOUR GOING TO SEE A GUY WHO WILL GO THAT INCH FOR YOU.........A GUY THAT WILL SACRIFICE HIMSELF FOR THIS TEAM BECAUSE HE KNOWS.....THAT WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT....YOUR GOING TO DO THE SAME FOR HIM..

THATS A TEAM....GENTLEMAN...AND EITHER WE HEAL NOW....AS A TEAM......OR WE WILL DIE.....AS INDIVIDUALS

THATS FOOTBALL GUYS....THATS ALL IT IS.......

NOW.......

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO???
