Silva's scoring smile

[Lucky Toma]

I noticed something against QPR for our second and assumed it was a one-off. But I've just seen similar for our fifth against the rags.

When David is striking the ball on both occasions - before the ball has even left his boot! - he is smiling.
It might not seem much but think back to the thousands upon thousands of newspaper photographs you've seen in your lifetime of a player in the act of scoring. Every time they will be focused - even grimacing.

Check out the still from 1.35 onwards in this.
In the QPR game he was actually broadly grinning but I cant find that on Youtube. Okay so on both occasions he only had the keeper to beat but it just shows how much he loves playing and the confidence he has right now.

Keep fucking smiling then David you beautiful man you.

When De Gea starts smashing the ground in a temper, that tickles me rotten for some reason.

I wish I could find the QPR one mate. Was pissing myself when they showed the slo-mo.

Anyone know why DS kisses his wrist after he scores?

Has he got a cross tatooed on it, or maybe someone's name who is rather fond of?

Could even be "MCFC" or the Club badge!

Would love to know if any ITK's out there have the answer. Not really bothered if no'one knows - just want to see him keep on kissing his wrist, each time he slots one away!

He has a tatoo i think and it is either his gf or cousin called cynthia who he dedicates his goals to and he kisses the tat to symbolize it afaik.

After the Boothroyd goal there is a city fan clapping him when he scored, fucking ejit.

Cheers for that TCIB!

Hope to see many more wrist kisses from DS - we can leave the other wrist jobs to the Scum from Owe Trafford!

He kisses his wrist in dedication to his cousin Cynthia who died when she was 3.

The tattoo is the name Cynitha(sp?) which was the name of his cousin who passed away at a young age and he dedicates off of his goals to her. His sister has a matching one.

Thanks for the Cynthia info guys - DS is a very, very nice man (and a very, very good footballer too!)

Off to bed now - nite nite Bluemooners!
