Should we do the Haka before kick-off?

VeevaVee · 26th April 2012, 03:27

I'd prefer the hokey cokey

77 · 26th April 2012, 03:28

Haka - no, don't be silly

Tackety boots - definitely. The Blooos would shit their laser blue shorts

Moultz · 26th April 2012, 04:12

someone needs to go out and deck someone and risk the yellow. Nothing fucking mad but something enough to show this is our fucking title you blue nose fucks

SharkyMcShark · 26th April 2012, 05:22

Imagine Paul Scholes doing that

mo0 · 26th April 2012, 06:20

until this happens

gives you chills

Marcus · 26th April 2012, 07:19

I know he missed a penalty and cost Real a place in the final. But personally I would find it a bit extreme.

devilish · 26th April 2012, 07:57

Im sure the prospect of having the likes of Evra, the twins, De Gea, Park and Chicarito doing the Haka would surely instill fear in the City side. Alternatively we can do a redcafe group. Brwned, Chief, Twigs, Gambit, Pogue, Cnut and Rowem will be lead by me (of course). That would be frightening sight.

padzilla · 26th April 2012, 09:28

Alternatively we could perform to the level expected of us and put them in their place?

SilentWitness · 26th April 2012, 20:05

Already been done....

Bill.s.preston · 26th April 2012, 20:17

What about some Morris dancing, followed by burning a Tevez shaped wicker man?

Crustanoid · 26th April 2012, 20:23

I reckon Rio, Rooney, Nani, Evra and De Gea should perform a full rendition of YMCA in the centre circle facing the City team and staring them out whilst doing so

Raven Blade · 27th April 2012, 00:52

How about we do this instead? We already have Nani to be the lead dancer.

Relevated · 27th April 2012, 00:59

I hope we show real emotion and aggression.

For Monday the City players are not intimidated. This match is a chance they never thought they'd get, it's an huge opportunity for them. We need to let them know that the true opportunity is only to escape from the match with their health, not points.

Biologically, this leads us down the path of coordinating a Haka-routine to display just before kick off. Obviously the Haka itself is only relevant for the Māori people, so we'd need our own version. I don't think doing it to United Road would be suitable and we probably wouldn't be able to persuade the Etihad to play it in the background, so the only real option we have is the players chanting. But what?

Imagine all our players lining up around the centre circle and screaming and punching themselves. It would be incredible and would give us the mental edge in such a finely balanced match. Nobody wants to start tackling upon players who have just performed a Haka, something I've witnessed with my own senses.

The key is execution, so please express any ideas. Rooney and Valencia are my candidates to lead the routine.

The Macca?

We bring Steve McManaman into the centre circle and the starting 11 proceed to kick him in the balls, repeatedly, all while wearing novelty Eric Cartman slippers* over their boots. They then do a slightly modified version of the Macarena, which for testing purposes we'll christen "The Macca-pain-a", and finish it off with a Travolta-esque sweeping disco point as they stare down City's squad and win the match before the coin toss.

Yes, I like to smoke drugs...what of it?

Maajid · 27th April 2012, 01:31

I'd go fucking bananas if I were ever part of a Haka.

Sir Matt · 27th April 2012, 01:38

In the very least, the fire alarms at their hotel should go off multiple times between 2am and 6am.

peterstorey · 27th April 2012, 02:00

You could always do the wanka, which is pretty much what you did last time you played City.

got three goals out of it, too.

Varun_Utd · 27th April 2012, 05:23

Yes, do the haka first. then bring out the fuel and flames and throw fire out of our mouths followed by jumping through fire loops and finish by fighting tigers to death.

Light them, train 3 of them to form a loop and jump through them. That ought to scare City.

I imagine something similar to the ghey bloke in Glee, dancing to "All the single ladies" whilst lining up for a field goal.

Uh, not that I, um, watch Glee. My missus told me...

I've got a source in Cardiff, apparently the squad were practising the Haka in between golf and spa treatments.
