(11) Rocco Vata

If/when he scores his first league goal the 'Sharif' should be changed to the opposition GK's name.

 

It's really not difficult though! All the best chants are up tempo, simple tune, simple lyrics.

Best one by far of the Pozzo era was the Quique Sanchez Flores one that we nicked off Atletico. This one is crap for the same reason the "Deeney's a legend forevermore" one was - too long, too monotone, doesn't fit the original song.

 

'We've got Super Nigel Pearson, he knows exactly what we need, Cathcart at the back, Deeney in attack, this'll keep us in the Premier League!' is the worst for me, not because the words didn't fit the song, and it made sense semantically, unfortunately Cathcart and Deeney were just way past it by that stage!

 

The “exactly what we need” lyric makes me want to cringe as well!

 

What are the odds on Vata having never even heard of The Cranberries?

 

the who ?

 

Is there a way we can fit his name into Seven Nation Army?

 

No chance he’s heard of The Who.

 

He will have to if he's made a regular substitute, but hopefully he'll prove to be a bargain, the best we've ever had. If he and another couple of attacking players manage to join together, then the atmosphere could make the team coach a real magic bus, with everyone getting in tune, making this season an amazing journey. Maybe even the promoted academy players will come good; I can't explain, but I think the kids are alright. I hope we won't get fooled again and find that the song is over, although my wife keeps saying you better you better you bet.
I'm the seeker for enough points, anyway, anyhow, anywhere so I can be a real happy jack. Maybe it's my generation, but I'm not sure we can give eyesight to the blind.

 

"Come on baby, do the Rocomotion."

 

Some people have much too much time on their hands.

 

I was planning on having a relaxing afternoon watching the cricket, but Wood & Stokes have totally stymied that. I'll just have to go back to the light entertainment of Halsall's 'Barbarian Migrations and the Roman West (376-568)' I suppose.
Do you think it's alright? Who cares, I'm not listening to you. Who are you?

 

Looked good tonight, so hopefully he is going to be a decent asset for us.

 

If TC thinks he's the best my question would be why isn't he starting?

 

Because he's not one of Tom's Boyz. Has his favourites, our Tom.

 

And also because nowhere in the article does TC actually say that he is the best.

 

It's certainly looking that way.

 

He was the best finisher yesterday.

 

This kid, not Chaks or Baah, is the one to watch.

Well scouted!

Not sure I think he has the higher ceiling of him and Baah, but he's starting to look a good prospect and is an enjoyable player to watch.

 

It’s not just the goal. It’s the amount of running he does off the ball for the team

 

He’s got a bit more composure than Baah and has some end product which puts him ahead of Chak.

He’s a huge talent, a great signing and will go for big money in the future.

 

He’s now equalled Chak’s goal tally for us.

 

A very low bar considering how wasteful he is in front of goal.
