cheltenham_villa Posted Friday at 14:27 Share Posted Friday at 14:27 Hope the injury is ok. I saw his internation manager said it was fine, wouldnt be surprised to see Barkley come in but personally i think we need Onana for his presence from set pieces. United hurt us from them last year.

Please tell me has has learnt the lyrics. Haha Aren’t the lyrics just “the champions” in various languages? And Onana speaks 5 or something fluently. He’s probably just saying the words as they happen rather than having learnt anything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marka Ragnos Posted Friday at 16:15 VT Supporter Share Posted Friday at 16:15 (edited) Zadok the priest. Please tell me this has been discussed to exhaustion elsewhere on VT, and you don't need a self-righteous and error-prone American to explain that. I must not understand something huge here, right?

smokingzen Posted Friday at 17:16 Share Posted Friday at 17:16 It's been played at every coronation since it was composed in 1727... i guess Prince William will have mixed thoughts when they play it before his anointing and he'll be thinking of the Villa in the Champions League just before he is made King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They perform a 1992 composition by a guy called Tony Britten, who shamelessly nicked some of Handel’s music and adapted it to make his own anthem. The words are: Ce sont les meilleures équipes Sie sind die allerbesten Mannschaften The main event Die Meister Die Besten Les grandes équipes The champions Une grande réunion Eine große sportliche Veranstaltung The main event Ils sont les meilleurs Sie sind die Besten These are the champions Die Meister Die Besten Les grandes équipes The champions Onana knows all three languages here, and more. I read somewhere he has asked the Spanish speaking coaches and players to talk to him only in Spanish so he can learn that language to add to the 5 he is already fluent in. o 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoMkali Posted yesterday at 16:05 Share Posted yesterday at 16:05 Missed him today. Not necessarily his actual play but I thought our intensity was lowrt than even vs Ipswich as we would be unable to make a change in the middle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
