"Treat those two imposters just the same"



"A victory always helps your belief, but you have to manage it. If you lose, you are not going to cut your throat and if you are winning, you are not going to take it for granted you are going to do that every week."

What Kenny Dalglish said after Liverpool's recent victory over Arsenal, their first away win against the Gunners since February 2000, reminds me of these lines from Rudyard Kipling's immortal poem "If":

"If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!"
