All right boys, listen. I told this man, I told this man, Saturday afternoon when you went out second half, what did I say?
Player: They don't want it enough.
They don't want it enough. They don't want it enough. They're going to lose. I know you lot better than you think I fucking know you. I've called it. Called it that time on the group and I called it half time to him. What do you mean? I said watch. I get gut feelings about you lot. Right now, I think I've only got 70% in this room. I don't feel I got 100%. He's the only one- Look at his eyes. They look like I got 100%.
So we ain’t leaving this room. I don't care if it’s ten to eight. I’m not letting you go out now. Not ready. Because I let you go out Saturday, and I knew you fucking weren't ready. I fucking knew it. Don't know why I've got this fucking, whatever this is, this energy or whatever he's got. You weren't ready. I can feel you going up to 72-73. But trust me, right now, out there what I see, I don't see people that want it enough. I don't see people in today personal enough. I think people in here, might think they're going to do okay, or they're going to give their best. But you know what? You might think it.
We're leaving here, knowing it. We're leaving here today knowing, knowing for a fact we're not losing one single battle in our war today for 90 minutes. Okay? We're not losing one battle out of the 2 hundred we have with our opposite number. Not one! Cause one's too fucking many! And two, second place is first loser. Right? You don't lose one individual battle with your war. Cause it’s a fucking war today! Its a fucking war! And everybody's [inaudible 00:01:26] on Saturday.
I fucking knew it. We're going to get in here, we're going to sing the song. I'll put some words in the middle, we're going to sing that song properly. Then I'm going to do the thing where you shout greatest. Because that worked on the Saturday before. Right? So you suck in deep, now, you get in this fucking circle, and you sing this for your fucking lives.
Player: C'mon boys.
Sing it for your fucking lives.
Player: Lets fucking get out of here.
Sing it for your lives, boys! Get in here! C'mon! [inaudible 00:01:47] Get up! C'mon! This is our day! We don't get no opportunity like today! We don't get no opportunity. C'mon! Here we go! Sing it properly! All you boys, this is what you get in the fucking game! Mean it! Shut your eyes and mean it!
Team: I am a mountain. I am a tall tree. Oh I am a swift wind, Sweepin' the country. I am a river, down in the valley, Oh I am a vision. I can see clearly. If anybody asks you who I am, just stand up tall look them in the face and say, I'm that star up in the sky. I'm that mountain peak up high and I made it.
Shut your eyes!
Team: I'm the worlds greatest.
Shut you eyes!
Team: I'm that little bit of hope, when my back's against the wall. I can feel it. I'm the worlds greatest.
Shut your eyes and think about today. Think about what you're going to do in that pitch. Make that vow with yourself, shut your eyes and sing!
Team: I am a giant. I am an eagle. Oh, I am a lion, down in the jungle. I am a marching band. I am the people. Oh, I am a helping hand. I am a hero. If anybody asks you who I am.
Team: Just stand up tall! Look them in the face and say! I'm that star up in the sky. I'm that mountain peak up high. Hey I made it. Hmm. I'm the worlds greatest. Hmm, I'm that little bit of hope, when my back's against the wall. I can feel it. I'm the word's greatest.
