If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs ...
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!

How did Rudyard Kipling, a century ago, know Max Dolman would come on as substitute?

That was some serious composure at his age. He still had a good bit to do after the clearance reached him. The cross for the first goal wasn't too bad either

I thought it was the forethought to head the ball past the defender and then outpace him to carry it to score! You have a tremendous future my son, don't screw up!

Reading an article in the Guardian about PL teams in Europe (https://www.theguardian.com/football/20 ... ons-league) and was astounded to read "Wolves may be bottom of the Premier League but they are the 29th-richest club in the world by revenue"

Arsenal to win the PL, Spurs to be relegated! Discuss.
