Song for Manuela - YBIG / Foot.ie challenge

**Stuttgart88** · 12/11/2011, 8:58 PM

Prompted by TommyC's post on the Estonia match thread, I think we need a Manuela song for Tuesday.

Here's my effort for starters (the old Vieira song tune):

Manuela, woh oh
Manuela woh oh oh oh
She's Trap's interpreter
And we're in love with her.

OK, someone else's turn now...

Sang to the rhythm of Eddy Grant's - Gimme hope Joanna http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNNfAuMq-M0

"Oh! Gimme hope Manuela!
Hope Manuela!
Gimme hope Manuela!
That Trap signs before the wolves come" (sang very quickly to keep in rhythm)

I'm useless at these things but I'd love to see the look on her face on tuesday if a chant began in her honor. Maybe she'll break out the Ireland jersey again for the occasion.

A "we

Manuela" banner would be very funny.

For Manuela, you need only look to Deano for inspiration...

When Il Trap’s stuck for words, but he wants to be heard –
Ask Manuela
When his cat says miaow, but it can’t be let out -
Ask Manuela
Robbie scores, ting-a-ling-get-in! ting-a-ling-get-in!
A hat-trick for Manuela
Duff will play tippy-tippy ball, tippy-tippy ball
‘Cos it pleases Manuela

Of course a simple "ooh ah, Manuela" would also work.

That's inspired with it's simplicity.

Brilliant!

edit: is there a way I can have that as an avatar?

**pineapple stu** · 17/11/2011, 12:14 AM

You'd have to take out membership; should be one of the options across the top. You can have whatever avatar you want them.

'Come on Manuela...' Eh, not good...

**Stuttgart88** · 11/12/2011, 9:51 AM

38, lives in Dublin and a tomboy!

**Cuyahoga** · 11/12/2011, 10:16 AM

Sung to the tune of ' Winter Wonderland'

'There's only one Manuela
Can I be your Fella
Talking Italian
I'll Be your Stallion
in a Trapatoni Wonderland '

That's all well and good, but is she single?!

Here is her twitter account:

The official term is "following"

along with half of the YBIG members

**tommy_c12000** · 11/12/2011, 12:32 PM

She's a Liverpool fan and all. She's like the perfect woman . . . . . .

**tricky_colour** · 11/12/2011, 3:33 PM

Bit too open to misinterpretation I think!

Mandela might misinterpreter it when translating it for Trap!!

**punkrocket** · 12/12/2011, 2:35 PM

All right then, in keeping with the Italian theme, and in the best Rudeboy tradition,
To the tune of That's amore

When her moon hits your eye
With her wee slice of pie
That's Manuela
And her eyes sparkle and shine
But you've had too much wine
Oh Manuela
