What if - we could attack relentlessly, regardless of the score?
What if - we realised that the 'vulnerable times' in a game, are only brought on through negative thinking?
What if - we understood that the period straight after we've scored, is not a vulnerable period, but it's actually the best time to score another goal?
What if - we could play competitive football for three hours at a time?
What if - we were being chased by an evil monster; would we stop running after 90 minutes?
What if - we were Royal Marines; would we still get tired after 90 minutes?
What if - we realised that our fans believe that the 'Royal Blues', are the Royal Marines of football?

What if - we realised that frustration brings fatigue, but enjoyment brings relaxation?
What if - our level of ambition held no boundaries?

What if - we concluded that if we're going to achieve greatness, we must begin today?
What if - we could improve ourselves and our team, in every possible way?
What if - we realised that the time is now, and we must seize the day?!
What if - our mind set accepted that, as we are Everton, nothing but the best is good enough? (Nil Satis Nisi Optimum)
