But "Spanish" is the infinitely more beautiful word; a word fit for the man's play. "Silva", whilst retaining the sibilance, contains a 'v' which sounds slightly coarse and perhaps Germanic - the black sheep of phonaesthetics. We wouldn't want that.
His proper nickname, the one he goes by in my mind, is Spanish Dave. Spanish being the shortened version. Interestingly enough, Spanish Dave is euphonious in itself, having the same word structure, syllables and sound as "Cellar Door", a favourite of J.R.R Tolkien.
Silva sounds not too disimilar to a precious metal and rather more pleasing to the ear than a simple nod to linguistic and cultural heritage? After all, as Pepys famously wrote in his diary:nashark said:strongbowholic said:Surely 'Silva' is infinitely easier to type?

"Silver (sic - he was a useless speller) is both wonderous and lustrous. It dazzles the the mind and glints in the eye like no other. Even better than Berkovic. Now will someone put that fucking fire out for God's sake!"

Lol. Pepys reference on a football forum - that's my kind of guy.

RandomJ said:I hate being negative after a win but I was saying this last season and I'll say it again. Lescott is not good enough for where we want to be.
He is clumsy, out jumped by shorter players and can't clear a ball even when he has two attempts at it. We need a better partner for Kompany because this clown will cost us points this season and a few goals at the other end dosen't justify his place.
That out of the way was very impressed by our attack it's just so good and I can see the shit trickling down other team's legs as they run at them.
