[Alcatraz]

So many messages.....such support is a measure of the man. You can do this Mateo...we are with you !

Lets all sing "Mateo silva, ola ola,"

Despite what Bill Shankly said there are many things more important than football. All the best to David, Mateo and family, my best wishes go with you.

If true, my admiration of the man (as well as the player) has just gone up another notch or three.

Lets all sing "Mateo silva, ola ola,"

when Dave's back we could just start a constant chant of "Mateo! Mateo" like Barca do for Messi.

The guy will go down as a legend for us, maybe the finest player I have ever seen wear our shirt.

With the family issues he has nobody would complain about him missing games to be with his family but the love his has for the club and fans is there for all to see.

He went back to Valencia yesterday / this morning and came back this afternoon

Hope that means Mateo is on the mend and getting stronger

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

"Mateo! Mateo! Mateo!"

 

[Charlie Chuck]

"Mateo! Mateo! Mateo!"

Easy chant, and shows our gratitude. Let's belt it out around the stadium tomorrow.

Just me but I think football may be his only escape from what's going on. I say don't sing, let him just play his game.
