Hairlesshero Posted 22 February, 2017 Share Posted 22 February, 2017 Some may be a tad optimistic if they think our fans these days are capable of anything unique and more than a couple of lines long. The "magic" song is a possibility using a bit of artistic licence "They're magic, you know, Tadic and OUR Manolo" or "They're magic, YOU'LL SEE, Tadic and Gabb-ya-dini" I agree re short and simple so I like the magic song, especially if they continue to work as well together as v Sunderland. My suggestion: (to the tune of The Conga, so very upbeat and party time for whenever he scores or goes close) Do do dooo! Manolo Gabbiadini! Do do dooo! You know he's going to score! Do do dooo! Manolo Gabbiadini! He scores one then looks for more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only add the 3rd and 4th lines when he already has 1 goal in the game and either goes close or scores a second (or 3rd etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydenhampton Posted 22 February, 2017 Share Posted 22 February, 2017 Nice, and I bought it (nice fag packet style box on the cassette single!), but given that about 90% of teenagers had no idea about the song even at the time, it's a bit of an ask to think someone could get enough people interested 27 years later. Having said that, it's really simple and easy to learn... though it'll end up not sounding anything like the original. How about the old Pop Will Eat Itself song for Italia 90 - Cicciolina "Gabbiadini, Gabbiadini, Manolo Gabbiadini, Gabbiadini, Gabbiadini for I-talia, I-TALIA" Oh yes this would be remarkable! Great idea! Sadly not everyone went to Hammy & Teefs nights back in the day..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was quality finding out about this song at half time in the concourse then more and more people joining in though out the the whole break, I consequently missed our second goal after going for a late slash. Does need a second verse but we started just going "ooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh" for ages in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintwbu Posted 27 February, 2017 Share Posted 27 February, 2017 Swear everyone was singing Europe instead of Naples though Yeah they were, but I guess as we are actually in Europe ourselves it kind of doesn't work! (not that I, or most people would be bothered) But if we are being accurate the Naples is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Saint Posted 28 February, 2017 Share Posted 28 February, 2017 Think the horse might have bolted on this going on the fans after his "third" went in. Fold your scarf in half and wave it round and round above your head singing his name. We were under the shelf on the lower tier, and stepped out for a better view: what a sight all around!!!

John Cool Posted 5 March, 2017 Share Posted 5 March, 2017 I'll be honest, for an old post-punk fan like me I'm going to struggle chanting a Barry Manilow song :-) Surely something by The Fall can be shoe-horned in ? (I realise I was championing a Dean Martin tune earlier on in the thread) How about a bit of rock? (but not the overused Seven Nation Army) Wanna tell you story About player I know When it comes to scorin' He steals the show Some say he's got no right foot And others say he's slow But he'll give it all he's got Weighin' in with nineteen goals He's a whole lotta Mano A whole lotta Mano Whole lotta Gabbi Whole lotta Gabbi Whole lotta Gabbi And he's a whole lotta Mano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Bates Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Roberto De Fanti, Gabbiadini's agent: "Manolo was not finding space, he was managed by Silvio Pagliari. I experienced the negotiation as an intermediary on the Southampton side. He wasn’t finding the space he wanted at Napoli and we thought the Premier League was the right place,” The English club had been following him for several years, they had seen the possibility of getting Gabbiadini and they called me to ask if I could help them in the negotiations. A negotiation that was masterfully conducted by the whole of Napoli, by Cristiano Giuntoli and then also by Silvio Pagliari, Gabbiadini’s agent. The negotiation was closed on the last day of the market but it was quite fluid.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
