Sir David & Galaxy arrival

Def. no malice, at least on, my part. I'm not a fan of England (FORZA ITALIA!), but I have the utmost respect for Becks and his contribution to the sport. I'm going to give him as much ribbing as I can when he arrives and when he plays. When he leaves the field and the city, I plan on giving him a heroes sendoff and a standing ovation.

I would have thought that chants of �Can we play you every week� or �you should have been an All White� or �can you hear the Galaxy sing?� or �ooh David Beckham, he used to play for Man U but he�s all right now� may have been better suited.  I know this is probably better of on the chants forum, however it�s here now�..

 

Lets get the whole stadium chanting one chant, no song sheet needed, everyone already knows the words and most people will know the tune�..

 

To the tune of the English classic footy anthem of �here we go���. The words, all the words, chorus and verse�.

 

Wellington

 

or if you need help matching the words to the tune......

Yeah, leave out the 'Who are ya?'s

It will make YF look silly in front of every one else.
Keep things positive, 'Victoria' is cheeky enough!

Isn't singing "Who are ya?" at Beckham an example of irony? If so then i guess it depends if you find humour in irony.
Give him a standing o when he gets subbed.

A Simple chant all Leaguies should now ...(To the old chant of "Ellis Ellis Who The F#$k is Ellis")

How bout 'Seagull, Seagull, Seagull'

Given that Beckham made his professional debut against us (Seagulls) that would be historically pertinant....

That's the point I'm sure he'd find the humour in it too. Really hope it happens at the airport.

If Beckham doesn't get a 'who are ya?' I'm demanding my money back.

I'd love to see a picture of Becks holding up the Yellow Fever sign, or a Retro Ricki. Or both. And a pic with me, to show off to the grandkids  (Who won't be impressed because their dad played for the All Whites, or their mom played for the Football Ferns )

That'd be top quality, esp if one of the big news networks saw it too

Hi guys,

OMG it's Gourdie!

Chant for Saturday. I'm assuming that half the crowd (or less) at the Galaxy game would have gone to the Adelaide game before.

we're trying to get Winston Peters down there to check that Becks' visa is in order (don't want any last minute game cancellations due to 'irregularities')

WIN!

There's a few like that (same tune and everything) over in the chants fourm...

That's brilliant. I hear the Cove had similar chants. 60000 Beckham fans and 20000 Sydney fans...

Maybe you could use a nice shopping spree with Posh Spice Tourets, to calm you down. Pity she ain't coming though...!!

I just hope everyone gives golden balls the old who are ya!

And then give Tourets a bigger who are ya? when he punches someone.

i would love to know if Beckham is gonna walk through the airport or is he just going to exit through a back door

Welly airport is hardly Heathrow, he'll have nowhere to hide MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

true i suppose but it would be disapointing if he takes a back way out if there is one. I think the flight is Quantas

god my thread is turning into a riot!

We couldn't get

My two cents (as worthless as it is now a days)

This weekend will be the biggest in the history of NZ Football thus far. I wont be one of the many contributors to the weekend simply because I can't however reading this forum, there is definitely two anthems that comes through

1: Terry has forked out a bit to show us the 'quan' (think Jerry MacGuire). Mucho Respecto fella.

2: Everyone here regardless whether you support him or not, like his wife or not, like the clubs he has played at or not is thinking "this is going to be unreal. WE want Becks!!!"

Now when you consider the place we hold in the world, we have always been viewed as a very safe and relaxed, friendly country. Kiwis are synonymous with friendliness all across the globe. When you think of the places Beckham has seen, you can bet your bollocks to a barn dance that he hasn't seen anything as beautiful as this country, and this beautiful country on a whole generally don't give two sh*ts about football because they think thugby.

So why is it, that when he comes to Paradise (or if you are from Taranaki, Taradise) to see our unique treasured corner of the globe, we would want to greet him like English/European football gits/supporters/hooligans at the airport? Granted when he is on the pitch the 'Who are ya?" chant would be very ironic and funny as hell and I'm sure Becks would appreciate that the supporters are having a laugh and any general piss taking while the game is on, because we all know what he's done, where he has been etc.

That aside I struggle to see when he arrives at the airport, we want to perform like every other football supporter in the world and chant football chants at him when we have the opportunity to be unique like we are in NZ and show him what Kiwis are like. When you conside the ideals of NZers (friendly, passionate as hell about being Kiwis or Kiwi till I die) and what I perceive as being the Yellow Fever way (Phoenix till I die most people say??) why would we want to portray ourselves as being a negative group and bring ourselves down to the Sydney lots' level. I'm not saying give him a haka or anything but (as an example) the call of "That man deserves a DB' would be friendlier/funnier (althought lost on him) or a Retro Ricki as others have said.

He isn't here long, not long to leave a lasting impressing so the first one is definitely going to count, especially if we show him kiwiana more than the muppets in Australia did. I think that would be a more lasting memory for him and a better impression, coming to NZ for probably the only time in his life and leaving thinking "They're not bad those lot" rather than "Typical football supporters"

Rant off

i agree that acting like try-hard English supporters is pretty lame

so, retro rickis and praise of becks??

Retro Ricki, friendly ribbing, THEN praise 

(IMHO)

Why stop at holding it?

Wearing it to the half-time thing on Friday...

i'm not giving up $30 bucks to give him my shirt - i can't afford that.

Those hats are friggin awesome.

Class pal. Thats is absolute comedy gold

I have been told that he is actually staying in some nice lodge in Malborough and will be flown in and out of Wellington by helicopter

Wasn't there a rumour of him staying at the Waterfront in New Plymouth so he can see Elton?
