Well it sounds a bit ambiguous, which Carrick himself seems to have picked up on:



The point is that Scholes is his contemporary and colleague. It would be one thing if it was Paddy Crerand he was being compared to, but this is kind of like singing, 'RVP, RVP, He's almost as good as Wayne Rooney". Yes it's a compliment, but it's vaguely back-handed, it's basically saying, 'He's playing so well that you could almost mistake him for that other, better player we've got'.

Tune's also dirge-like. We should leave that stuff to the Scousers.

I actually thought he sounded a bit thick when he said "I don't know if it is supposed to be tongue in cheek".

It's obviously tongue in cheek and it's obviously a massive compliment. We're talking about comparing him to a club icon, a genuine legend of the club.


If it was Tottenham singing "Woah Woah Woah Dembele, never believe it's not Sandro" then you'd raise an eye brow. But we're talking about comparing him to the best English midfielder of the last 20 years.

:lol:

Who knew you could fit the word 'clinical' into a chant.

I could get into this...

Ashley Young is okay, he was wears an average hat
we should have bought Juan Mata, or QPR's Taarabt
He's not as good as Nani, Kags or Cleverley
'Cos Ashley Young is average... along with Tony V.

:lol: Excellent!

Rooney, Rooney, we're fairly keen on you,
You're no Clooney, but I suppose you'll do...
You've lost a yard, like Nando,
You've gained a stone, like Ando,
You like a smoke, but not the coke,
Unlike Adrian Mutu.

Nick Powell's not tough
Or skilful enough
To play in the hole.
He burns with desire
But plays like Lloyd Dyer
He's no Scholes
And scores no goals.

:lol: this is making my afternoon... though they should probably have their own thread! But,one more won't hurt right?

Tony V, Tony V, he goes by the name of Tony V
Yesterday, I saw Fergie, said to me he'd seen the black Ronnie
So I said, Tony V?
No he said,it was Luis Nani...

I really need you to shine...
For Evra's gonna start tonight
For Evra's gonna start tonight
And once upon a time VDS was around
Oh when will you start looking the part?
There's nothing you can do...
Totally eclipsed by Joe Hart.

Nearer my Cas, to thee
His name is Rio
And he's only half the man
that he had used to be
You see, his back is bad
You might say he's something like
a modern older Laurent Blanc
Oh Rio, we know
You ain't nothing like Jaap Stam

Passing you was
Never going out
Stop being so shit
Stop being so small
ConTROL it now

Also, 'Totally Eclipsed by Joe Hart' is superb.

Smalling Time
Time for you to go our and stand in for the injured Rio
Smalling Time
Jonny Evans' resting so just go out and give it a go
but I know I would rather play Phil Jones
I know I would rather play Phil Jones
I know I would rather play Phil Jones
Play Phil Jooooones.

Ka-ga-wa wa wa
Worse than Nani and Tony
Ka-ga-wa wa wa
Less Cantona, more Duxbury
On the left, on the right,
Brushed off the ball
A bit like Ji,
You seem to be a bit shite
With no Bob Lewandowski.

Are you Beckham in disguise?
More like Dennis Wise
And while you're keeping it wrong
We will be singing this song

Ka-ga-wa wa wa

I saw my mate the other day
He said to me he'd seen the white Pele
So I called him a lying cnut
Said look at that wanker we've got upfront
Wayne Rooney, Wayne Rooney
Thank the lord we signed RVP
Wayne Rooney, Wayne Rooney
I'd rather Chica, Robin or even Danny!

Oh when that Fergie
Goes Retiring
Oh when that Fergie goes retiring
Whisky sales will slump at Old Trafford
Rafa's name I'll be singing

:lol: This really deserves it's own thread...

He's no Rooney or RVP, Welbeck, Welbeck
A goal from him's a rarity, Welbeck, Welbeck
He runs around, he wins the ball
But we still need Chicha to score
Danny Welbeck, shove him on the wing
