    Waitress: "It's the soup of the day."

    I was once in a restaurant / bar when someone came in and asked what the soup of the Day was for tomorrow. Crazy but true.

    I'd say in altruistic terms, to win as many football matches at the highest level possible. Problem is, in modern football, business is the key factor and the balance sheet has to be serviced too.

    Doing both, is the holy grail.
