"Je réussirai!" Le mot du joueur, du grand capitaine, mot fataliste qui perd plus d'hommes qu'il n'en sauve.

Some footballers earn a fortune. 30 grand, 40 grand, 90 grand a week, some of them. And then they say stuff in interviews like "I'm not really enjoying the football at the moment." Not enjoying the football? 90 grand a week? I'd be f**king delirious with it! I wouldn't just hug somebody for scoring a goal, I'd shag 'em.
Lee Evans
Les hommes sont fort ? plaindre d'avoir ? ?tre gouvernés par un roi, qui n'est qu'homme semblable ? eux; car il faudroit des dieux pour redresser les hommes. Mais les rois ne sont pas moins ? plaindre, n'étant qu'hommes, c'est-?-dire foibles et imparfaits, d'avoir ? gouverner cette multitude innombrable d'hommes corrompus et trompeurs.
Francois Fenelon

"Either you never go to bed,
Or you've a grand digestion!Lewis Carroll
