Ikechi Anya

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24071145

Racially abused during the match apparently..

 

Really enjoyed the bbc commentary:

"... they didnt know who he was a few weeks ago, now hes a new hero!"

 

Shows what a great character and proffesional he is to just play through it, brilliantly at that.

 

F**king disgrace that, they don't deserve him.

 

Following his stunning full international debut, how about a chant for him? (Also posted in chants thread in 1881) To tune of "my garden shed"

Oh Ikichi (oh Ikechi)'s a sweaty now (a sweaty now),
Oh ikechi's a sweaty now,
He even deep fries his Mars bars,
Ikechi's a sweaty now!?

OK, maybe not!

 

I doubt it was the Scots giving the abuse.

 

I was the good old Eastern Europeans abusing him not the Scottish fans! O0O

 

You're right that the McScroongers don't deserve him, but I think you'll find it was the Macedonia fans giving him stick.

 

Fair enough, but have seen a lot of comments saying how 'Anya isn't Scottish', half their bloody team are probably in the squad through a grandfather!

 

They should try telling that to him and his mum!

 

Anya is different gear. By far our best player at the moment and can turn the game on it's head. How Deeney didn't score off his delivery today I will never know. The boy was a rough diamond and we've really polished him up.

 

Totally agree about Anya. He has to start if he is fit, he gives the opposition a major headache and they are so afraid of him. He needs to improve his delivery though because with his pace defenders are going to back off from him and he is going to get more space for a good cross and at the moment its still quite poor. If he can really harness and develop that he would be even more dangerous and be another level up. He has got something very special and is a demonstration as to what you can do if you don't give in and keep working at it.

have to laugh at some of the comments in the original thread. can't help me think that we have a habit of writing off players too early on. lets not let the same happen with fabbrini and co.

 

Ikechi was getting unfair stick up until late last season. I remember the slagging he got from some in the Blackburn home post game thread.

I wonder if the same posters have ''seen him have a good game for us yet''?

 

Do you think that was unjustified? I'm not one of those who criticised him (at least, I don't think I am), but I'm sure Ikechi would be the first to admit that he's now at a much higher level than he was when he joined us - which is why he's now one of the first names on the team sheet instead of one of the last to squeeze on the bench.

Rather than complain at those who may have been negative about him, how about some positivity about him becoming a better player?

 

Isn't she Romanian?

 

I'm not gonna lie, I was one of the negative ones. Always thought his hard work running all the way up the pitch at blistering pace only to dilly dally and lose the advantage you gain from running that fast was a shame. Now his decision making has improved he's a lot more effective, exciting and a genuine joy to watch. Easily our most consistent performer so far.

 

The fact is, when he first turned up, Anya was ineffective. He was always running down blind alleys, he couldn't cross or beat a man, and he genuinely did look like a sprinter in football boots. Cassetti and Pudil were far and away the best wide defenders we had.

However, unlike other players that have had the "useless" treatment I seem to recall that actually, we could all see that if he improved a couple parts of his game we would have a great player on our hands, rather than the slating which seems to have been suggested in this thread.

This has happened and it's just another player that Zola has turned into a really good footballer.

 

Ikechi Anya song

There's only one Ikechi Anya
And he eats bleedin' lasagne
Sprinting along ( meep! meep! )
Woosh and he's gone ( meep! meep! )
Sprinting in an Anya wonderland


Be gentle with me

 

anya,
anya, anya,
anya, anya,
anya,
ikechi anya

doyley,
doyley, doyley,
doyley, doyley,
doyley,
lloydy doyley

repeat as above

this is what someone overheard a Watford fan suggesting the other day. no originality at all, made me cringe.

 

my thoughts:

he's small, he's quick
he's the size of deeneys ****
anyaaaaaa
anyaaaaaa

 

I-ketch-chi-chi-chi
Plays for W-F-C
On the left
On the right
Ikechi is dynamite

To the tune of Agadoo, if that wasn't obvious. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POv-3yIPSWc

 

Look at Anya
He'll cross a ball for you
And all things he'll do
He'll be all yellow

 

I thought the chant was the one where he runs down the wings for me?

 

That chant is still yet to be sung PROPERLY by a large group of fans

 

If we're honest. It's pretty ****. To the tune of ****ing Heartbeat. What an embarrassment.

I prefer the jock one, but I can't remember it.

 

ANYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA will always love youuuuu.

 

Give me an AaaaA, AaaaA, AaaaA, AaaaA, AaaaA, AaaaA.........................................

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANYA!

 

You know what, I'm not surprised by this. We are after all Watford fans...

It's not the most creative one but we should give it a go if it hasn't been properly done yet.

The one you're thinking of though is:

There's only one Ikechi Anya,
He eats chips wi' his lasagne,
Fae Castlemilk, he's smooth as silk
Walking in Ikechi's wonderland

 

One way or another he's gonna lose ya, he's goin past ya, Ikechi, Kechi, Kechi, Kechi
Anya's - gonna do ya - like a kipper - Ikechi, Ikechi.

He's gonna give you the slip coz he's effin quick, or another
he's gonna lose ya, he's goin past ya, he'll trick ya - he'll trick ya

He's gonna - make you his b!tch
You follow but he's just too quick
You're just his b!tch

One way or another he's gonna lose ya, he's goin past ya, Ikechi, Kechi, Kechi, Kechi
Anya's - gonna do ya - like a kipper - Ikechi, Ikechi.

 

Imagine this after a few pints.

...he' goin past ya, Ikeshykeshyeshhhy etchy Anna

 

I actually quite like this part.
