The Manchester United thread 2006/2007 - featuring BBB leaving early

[Ratinho]

I really like Mavuba. Juni's right, although I definitely see him as more Ukelele than Essien.

[SLO_Fila]

Remember the World Cup 2002 babe?

I'd like to call her "human that should not be allowed to exist". I have hots for her especially because i suffer from the asian fever.

Hot Korean

Well, lately i found out that thanks to J.S. Park her tastes in football have taken a dramatic turn for the best. So her two qualities are:

1. Uber hot

2. Uber hot in a United shirt

Hot Korean with a Taste!

manchester united earrings?? how wonderfully tacky!

[pago]

and im sure i have read a quote about fergie not making any more signings apart from larsson. it was in the mail on sunday and again in the mirror today i think.

yet charlton is saying he thinks there will be more signings?

[ACou2000]

Parky so great

[ACou2000]

I think there will be.

Don't think she's his gf or anything but i saw pictures of her (promo pictures of course) holding scarves with J.S. Park so i put the "blame" on him

and Fergie said that they are looking into more transfers pago.

[Nick OGS20]

Fergie and Gill have both been very (deliberately) vague on the subject of january signings not called Larsson - "money's there if needed", "we're not sitting on our backsides" etc but also lots of "happy with the squad". not sure how much we can really read into Sir Bobby's comments, i think the glazers could tell him that the sky is lime green and grass is red and the poor old sod might believe them.

would much rather have Hargreaves than Mavuba btw, even if it means waiting until next summer.

[alilaw]

Bobby Charlton made me believe we'd make more signings in the summer. I'll never believe the lying scumbag again.

[BBB]

I firmly believe my extra £5 is to sign Huntelaar so that's fine by me

from the unofficial fc forum:

hark now hear,

united sing,

santa is a red,

opened my presents on christmas day

and there was glazer's head

[Coldberg]

To the tune of?

[Nick OGS20]

i hope for your sake you're joking jonny

[ACou2000]

[Coldberg]

I wish I was. I have some kind of mental block when reading chants meaning I cannot put them to a tune of any kind

The same kind of block you get with regard to heading towards the job centre. None of us are perfect

[BBB]

jesus christ

it's like wakey is back

[Nick OGS20]

wahey \O/

worked it out yet? the first word is the same as the actual song, if that helps

[alilaw]

Because I don't go to games anymore I had to try and work out the 'We won it two times' chant was from the words being written down at first. In my head I basically crowbarred it in to 'you are my sunshine'. I think it works just as well. Ish :/

[Coldberg]

Only song I know with 'hark' as the first word is 'hark the herald angels sing'.

However the chant doesn't seem to fit that song.

[Nick OGS20]

are you drunk dude?

[Coldberg]

The first two lines fit but the rest doesn't.

Or do I have the wrong song?

You could just put me out of my misery?

[ACou2000]

hahah

[BBB]

this is funny to watch

[Coldberg]

Jules doesn't know either so bully him.

At least we aren't ugly

[ACou2000]

alright pipe down mr I dont know really famous songs

[alilaw]

It isn't 'Hark the Herald Angels Sing', it's 'Mary's Little Boy Child'.

[Nick OGS20]

at least jules has had the sense to keep quiet

it is 'hark now hear the angels sing' ofc. you have to be a bit creative with the syllables in the later lines but it works.

[Coldberg]

Does the song not go 'Hark the herald angels sing, glory to the new born king' ?

If it does then how the **** does it fit in with that chant?

If it doesn't then I obviously have forgotten that particular (& may I add crap) song.

[Coldberg]

I also get the feeling some people here are laughing along without actually knowing themselves.

See?

The chorus in that.

[BBB]

nah it's late and I've already annoyed my housemate with Saturday antics.

[Coldberg]

Martin blatantly didn't know it then. Nick's brain also rotting away due to lack of work of any kind.

We can safely assume it's a crap chant & won't be getting sung.

Yeah. I meant more the lyrics than the tune. Plus we only sing the City one twice a season.

Christ it's hard enough for people to get the simple chants correct.

[Saha]

so how does that 'and man will live for evermore' fit in with the apocalypse-y stuff?

[James07?]

This is the trouble we get into when we stray away from repeated 'muuuuurrrdddeeerrrreeerrrrssssssss' and songs about Gerrard isn't it?

[benkeat]

the song about gerrard is the funniest thing i have ever heard.

hearing your lot sing that when you're not even playing us puts the biggest smile ever on my face knowing that reasonable fans like james will be standing there cringing at BBB next to him screaming it with complete venom and anger.

[BBB]

I don't sing transfer request, I sing pat-ern-ity test.

I really hate how we sing about yous though, theres plenty of posts from me to back that up

[benkeat]

ah well, i love it so long may it continue

[BBB]

and im a fecking reasonable fan you cheeky bas
