"Playing abroad doesn’t appeal to me for one dead simple reason: I love the blood and thunder of English football too much. Our league and cup competitions have an intensity and honesty that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. The physical nature of the Premiership suits my style. Tackle and be tackled. Get up and get on with it, mate. Don’t roll around pretending you’re hurt. This is England. Piss off to Spain or Italy, where they niggle, dive and pull shirts. I can’t stand that." - Steven Gerrard, Gerrard: My Autobiography

Just something i stumbled upon on tumblr (hah!). I think we can interpret it in various ways. Soccer-wise or not, basically if you fall, get up.
