Schweinsteiger lifts a ball over the top for
Rooney to chase, but both Stones and
Jagielka are across quickly to deny the
England international. Van Gaal's men are
leading the early charge, with Everton being
forced onto the back foot. Lukaku hasn't been
able to do anything other than chase lost
causes thus far. |
4' Herrera is felled by a cynical tackle from
Galloway, with Man United having a chance to
load the box with red shirts. Mata's free-kick
delivery is half cleared by a header from
Jagielka, with Schweinsteiger lashing the
rebound well wide. |
3' Martial is pushed out to the left flank, with
Rooney playing through the middle as it
stands. Galloway is released down the left-
hand side, before feeding Naismith into an
dangerous area, but the Scotland international
sees a shot charged down well. |
1' We are underway in the first half at
Goodison Park! The hosts are looking to
extend their current unbeaten run, with Man
United aiming to forget their horrendous
performance against Arsenal last time out.
There is a minute of silence before kick off for
ex-Toffees boss Howard Kendall. |

The warrior is noble and strong. His resolve is
firm and his commitment is total. His is to kill, to
shed blood and to be killed. His is to die for his
king and for a worthy cause. His is to protect and
lay down his life for his faith, his nation, his
people and his loved ones.
What manner of men are these whose spirit speak
of such valour and nobility? Consider the ancient
Spartans and the Roman warriors of old. Consider
the fearsome Vikings who believed that it was a
curse to die a peaceful death and that the only
way to heaven was to die violently and heroically
in fearsome battle. Consider the greatest of all
warriors that ever lived, the noble and gallant
Achilles.
Consider Alexander the Great who conquered the
world with his sword. Consider King David, the
greatest of all the kings of Israel, who was a man
of blood and war and yet whom God so loved and
who loved God more than any other.
Consider David’s “strongmen” who stood with
him through thick and thin and who fought for
and protected him to the very end. Consider their
gallant captain, the mighty Joab and the others,
Abishai, Asahel, Eleazer, the Tachomonite,
Shammah, Benaiah, Eliam, Igal and Uriah the
Hittite.
These were David’s “strongmen”: all great and
valient men of war whose courage was legendary
and whose loyalty to their God and their King was
unflinching and unquestionable.
Consider Shaka the Zulu, Beowulf the Nordic king
and William Wallace the liberator of Scotland.
Consider King Henry V of England who routed the
French at the battle of Agincourt even though he
was outnumbered by three men to one.
Consider Julius Caesar who came, who saw and
who conquered. Consider the great Heracles who
was a descendant of the mighty Hercules himself.
Consider Spartacus, who turned slaves into men.
Consider Samson, who slew a troop with the jaw
bone of an ass and yet who fell at the touch of a
woman.
Consider Gideon who slew the Midianites, Jeptha
who sacrificed his own daughter, Joshua who
brought down the walls of Jericho and Jehu, who
drove his chariot like a madman, who slew the
witch-Queen Jezebel and who fulfilled prophesy
by ensuring that the dogs ate her flesh and licked
her blood in the valley of Jezreel.
Consider those that laid down their lives for our
great and noble faith: Paul of Tarsus, the greatest
of all the apostles, who brought the glorious
gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to the Gentiles
and to the wider world.
Peter the disciple, who became the rock on whom
the Church of God was built. Abraham, Isaac,
Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Samuel, Stephen, Isaiah,
Elijah, Daniel, John and all the other disciples and
prophets of old.
For martyrs and heroes that lived and died for
God are also gallant warriors who feared not
death and who stood firm to the end in defence of
their faith.
Consider George Washington who led his troops
into battle and whose war cry was “victory or
death”. Consider the charge of the Light Brigade,
the courage of the 600, at the battle of Balaclava
in the fields of the Crimea. Consider the Ikemba,
Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, who resisted genocide
and who established Biafra. Consider Isaac Boro,
the champion of the Delta, who rejected tyranny
and who fought for his people. Consider Ken
Saro-Wiwa whose prose moved mountains and
who refused to bow to a dictator. Consider
Moshood Abiola, who defied the oppressor and
who died a martyr.
Consider Patrice Lumumba who died for his
country, John Jerry Rawlings who liberated a
generation, Thomas Sankara who stood for Africa
and Malcom X who brought dignity to his people.
Consider Robespierre, Marat and the heroes of the
French revolution who defied kings and queens
and who watered the tree of liberty with blood.
Consider Muammar Ghaddafi, who empowered his
people, Gamal Abdel Nasser, who gave hope to
the Arab, Fidel Castro, who broke the yoke of
bondage and Nelson Mandela who brought joy to
millions. Consider Toussaint L’Ouverture who
freed the slaves of Haiti and who established a
proud black nation.
Consider General Lee at the battle of Gettysburg,
Oliver Cromwell at the battle of Nasby, Horatio
Nelson at the battle of Trafalgar and King
Leonidas, with his gallant “300”, at the battle of
Thermopylae. Consider Generals Marshal, Patton,
Eisenhower, Rommel and MacArthur in the great
battles of the Second World War. Consider the
“Black Scorpion”, General Benjamin Adekunle, with
his 3rd Marine Commando at the Battle of Ore.
Consider Zhukov at the siege of Leningrad and his
courageous exploits at the battle of Moscow.
Consider Bernard Montgomery, with his fearless
“Desert Rats”, at the battle of Alamein, Charles De
Gaulle at the siege of Paris and Chang Kai-Shek
in the war against Japan. Consider Attila the Hun,
Ghengis Khan, Peter the Great, Richard the Lion-
heart, Salahudeen the Compassionate, Katsumoto
the Samurai, Hannibal of Carthage and Hector of
Troy.
Consider our gallant amazons and female
warriors of old- Boadicea of East Anglia, Joan
D’Arc of France, Elizabeth 1 of England, Amina of
Zaria, Moremi of Ife, Golda Meir of Israel, Margret
Thatcher of Great Britain, Indira Ghandi of India,
Queen Idia of Benin, Benazir Bhutto of Pakistan,
Queen Esther of the Medes and Persians,
Cleopatra of the Blue Nile and Egypt and Yaa
Asantewaa of the Ashanti Kingdom.
Consider Generals Foche and Hague at the battle
of the Somme. Consider George Armstrong Custer
at the battle of the Little Big Horn, the Duke of
Wellington at the battle of Waterloo and Napoleon
Bonaparte, in his full glory and power, at the
battle of Marengo.
Had these great men and women all not stood
their ground and had they all not played their role
in our collective history, where would the world
be today? They sacrificed their today so that we
may have our tomorrow.
They lived and died for the sake of others and
asked for only one thing in return: that their
names should live forever and that we should
never forget their noble deeds and their worthy
sacrifices.
And we must not forget, nay we dare not forget,
for as Martin Luther King once said “if a man is
not ready to die for something, then he is not
worthy of living for anything”. The warrior is
prepared to die for his cause. That is what makes
him so noble and that is why he will always have
a special place in our hearts.
May the spirit of the warrior and selfless courage
fill us all and, like the true warriors that we are
meant to be, when the angel of death comes may
the Lord give us the strength and boldness to
look at him fearlessly in the face and treat him
with the contempt and disdain that he deserves-
knowing that he has lost his sting and that, by
the power of Christ Jesus, he has been conquered
and crushed.
When the dark angel comes, as come he must for
us all, let us be men and let us die a good death,
not cringing and crying like puppies, but like true
warriors, fighting to the bitter end. For it is never
for the warrior to ask the why: it is only for the
warrior to do or die.
The warrior does not vanish into the night. The
warrior will not go down without a fight. |
