Messi, Oh Leonard Messi,
He scored the twentieth goal at Old Trafford,
Messi, oh Lenny Messi,
He is the montego of Hyde Road.
So that's ok?
I just don't think saying he's a maestro of somewhere he hasn't played rings true - especially when it doesn't significantly alter the song saying Maestro of Man City, or Maestro of the city. Had it rhymed with the second line fair enough but it doesn't.
Just my opinion and I thought we were allowed to express that as long as it doesn't breach the CoC. Surely our very own Lennon and McCartney don't expect us to only post positive comments on their work?
Each to their own. It's not for me but I'm sure there will be plenty who'll join in and enjoy it and I'm genuinely pleased for them as it isn't an offensive song and it won't affect my enjoyment of a game. Ones that really do bug me are the anti-united songs when we aren't playing them - why people are thinking of them when we're playing Everton or QPR I don't know.
So well done for trying to improve our catalogue of songs and particularly for not adapting the 'We'll do what we want' tune.
If you can do one to this I'd be most impressed. ;-)
