Getting excited ?

[goodluckgull]

This thread is for all of you starting to get excited about the new season ( thanks Andy for making the suggestion ) What are you looking forward to ? Do you have some good new songs ? I really hope for a good cup run and some "giant killing".

We're all going on a conference holiday
No more league for a year or two
Fun and laughter on a conference holiday
No more league for me and you
for a year or two

We're going where Bowman will play brightly
We're going where Youngy is cool
We've been here once before
Now we're back here for some more

Everybody loves a conference holiday
Doing things they always wanted to
So we're going on a conference holiday
To make our dreams come true
for me and you

So Andy is still here? On the positive note we are hopefully in the conference for one year not two

Let's all have a disco,
Bowman, Yeoman, Briscoe,
Ajalala, Ajalala.

Matt.

Good try for the first song. Especialy with such a well know and easy tune to follow. but Matt. Don't give up your day job mate lol

[Kernowgull]

No doubt we'll get the same old few dull unimaginitive songs we always get about players, but heres two I came up with.

To the tune of Alright by Supergrass

We like Luke Young, we're fairly sure, that when he's, got the ball, the Torquays, gonna score

He's Luke Young, he runs free, he's a Gull, not a Green, pass or shoot, he likes, he's alllll- riiigghht!

To the tune of Oh la la la by The Fugees

Ajalala, its the way that rock when he runs down the wing, Ajalalalalala la la la la la

[kevgull]

I am looking forward to seeing Luke Young this coming season, as for the other new signings, I will keep my powder dry.

I love the "Disco" song by Matt. You get it instantly, which is perfect for a football fans' song.

[Gloomy Gull]

Chris will trust the defenders to do the defending and the midfielders to do the midfielding. I'm not at all concerned about not being a big, horrible side. At our level (both conference and L2), you only need to be good at one thing. There's no need for total football. Unless we sack every player on our books (with the possible exception of Pearce) and replace them all with guys who are well over six foot and thirteen stone, we aren't going to be a physical side. What CH is going for is a footballing side. It's ok to be non-physical if the opposition can't get near the ball. That's what we're going for this season, football, passing, getting it wide and crossing with pace. Keeping possession, attacking with pace and defending with discipline, rather than last year's mad-scramble-then-watch-as-the-opponent-scores-unopposed approach. It won't matter that teams turn up with players signed from the local basketball team, because the ball will be in our possession and on the floor for a lot of the game and we'll simply pass it around while they flounder about the pitch in a daze. Yes, we'll lose the aerial battle in the midfield, but we're prepared for that be having a group of players who are going to get us at least a couple of goals every game and a defence that is well drilled to deal with the likely threat that we will face. Ricey/Seabright will be playing it out from the back and we'll be looking to negate the opposition's strengths, as well as play to our own (which is something we didn't do well enough last season, which is why teams frequently scored against us with their only bloody chance. They stuck with plan A and it worked eventually).

Harding's a big lad, as is Briscoe and Richards will happily chuck himself today about. Ajala (until January, when he leaves for the Championship) is also an excellent tackler). We're not necessarily entirely without physicality, it's just that it's not going to be our go-to plan.

Matt.

Now THAT will get me excited - I may have to change the user name to Gleeful Gull !!! =D

Brilliant

I love Matt's one, definitely needs to reach the terraces, that one!

[Lloyder5]

I agree simple genius. Most songs that come up from time to time on here seem contrived. This one just reflects the chance configuration of Bowman, Yeoman and Briscoe beautifully. .. and then Ajalala goldust.

To blame it on the boogie:

Don't blame it on the Bowman,
Don't blame it on the Yeoman,
Don't blame it on the Benyon,
Blame it on Karl Hawley.
He just can't, he just can't, he just can't control his feet!

absolute gold.

I'm sorry Matt, but this one kicks your song's arse!
