A little bit of Zen (65)

A detail from the front cover of Stephen Pile's amusing history, 'The Book of Heroic Failures'
 

"It's good to be able to perceive the nobility in failure. Otherwise, we might never have anything to celebrate."

That's certainly long been the case for followers of the England football team! (Well, the men's team, at least. The women seem to have developed a disturbing habit of winning things. Will our chaps be able to take inspiration from their example? Or will it only serve to show us up even more?? Perhaps we'll find out next summer....)

It's usually how the FPL season pans out for most of us too....
