If you had the chance? Such as:
'Now remember, if things look bad and it looks like you're not gonna make it, then you gotta look real mean. I mean plumb mad dog mean 'cos if you lose your head and you give up then you neither live nor win. That's just the way it is!': 'Josie Wales'

"If any of you are in doubt, give him the ball. If he's not available, do what your normally do, just kick the bloody thing in the air, ok? Now we're up against Rochdale Nottingham Forest, a team of no-hopers, so let's go for it ok! Our season starts now!..."
"Oh. Ok, hands up who has no mortgage? ..... Oh I see, a lot of you...."
Show them some footage of the return to the Valley, the play-off final, the glory days of the title winning side, some of the great games of the Prem era. If they can't respond to that and think "I'd quite like a bit of that glory and a bit of that appreciation by the fans" then we really are lost lambs.
Footage of Leaburn scoring the hat-trick at Ipswich might well do it as you suggest nigel!
We could be getting closer to I Saw Burton Score t-shirts... or I Saw Dickson At All
This match will come down to who wants it most and that is us
NOW GET OUT THERE!

"Games been called off so weve all pocketed thousands this week for sweet f.a. E're so this is what that Danish lad has been gloating about for the past year"
"When this game is over I want you to be so knackered that you can't go clubbing tonight."
I thought you were a better psychologist than that, Len! That's going to make them give up trying before they even get out there...
''If you win this afternoon, you've got a free pass to stay out all night and I don't care if you're not home for Sunday breakfast or whose bed you wake up in.... " now from what I know of the modern-day footballer, that's far more likely to motivate the lazy lot of 'em !
don't be frightened to shoot - anywhere from 30 yards out. If their keeper doesn't make a half adozen saves this half none of you are getting paid. If you are a striker and you don't shoot, you wont be playing the 2nd half.
wingers - get to the byeline and get a cross over, If it hits the first defender you'll be docked 10% of your wages - run at them and get into the box with the ball - every time you do you get a 10% bonus.
defenders - when in doubt , boot it upfield.
You could be right Nigel!
The Churchillian rallying call probably is outmoded these days!
If we are losing at half time not only will i change the posters all of you will be changed you bunch of glory boy bstds
