Zola

A song for Zola, with apologies to the Kinks.....

 

 

We signed him up when we were down low low
And our last cup win was in 95 - the Coca-Cola
C – O – L – A Cola
He signed on the line and met the fans
We asked his name and in a deep gruff voice he said Zola
Z – O – L – A Zola zo-zo-zo-zo Zola

Well the Premiership has the odd physical guy
But when he roughed them up he nearly broke their spines
Oh my Zola zo-zo-zo-zo Zola
Well we’re not dumb but we can understand
Why he’s no Joey Harper but he plays like a man
Oh my Zola zo-zo-zo-zo Zola zo-zo-zo-zo Zola

Well we drank pints of lager and danced all night
Under the Beach End floodlights
He scores 1 in 5 and some come off his knee
But we don’t care if he brings a cup to Pittodrie
Well we’re not the world’s most successful team
When we heard the news - couldn’t believe we got Zola
Zo-zo-zo-zo Zola zo-zo-zo-zo Zola
Zola zo-zo-zo-zo Zola zo-zo-zo-zo Zola

But it wasn’t Gianfranco
Who came through the door
We fell to the floor
Like Joey down on his knees
Is there no cure to the trophy barren disease?

Well that’s not the way we want it to stay
And we don’t want it to be that way for our Zola
Zo-zo-zo-zo Zola
The Huns are dead and Hearts soon too
It’s a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Zola
Zo-zo-zo-zo Zola

Well we felt this way in 94
Then Willie got sacked after a great season before
But Zola smiled and gripped us by the hand
And said dear Dons - trust me, McInnes is the man

Well we’re not the world’s most raucous fans
But if we win a cup we’ll Stand Free to a man
And so will Zola
Zo-zo-zo-zo Zola zo-zo-zo-zo Zola
Zola zo-zo-zo-zo Zola zo-zo-zo-zo Zola

That bit highlighted has potential for the stands.

 

Fucking great effort Arild.

I'm sure big Calv would rather be banging them in at Burton than struggling here. He knew this was a step-up and for some reason or the other hasn't managed to do it. Some might say that only giving him half a season is a bit unfair, though we shouldn't really be expected to carry passengers. Nothing I have seen from him so far indicates he will ever be prolific for The Dons.

Half a season does sound harsh, but I think he's had a decent run in the team, even more so than Wylde, so if McInnes thought Wylde was surplus and (by general concensus among us, myself included) he was right to bin him... well, show no mercy, I say. AFC has had enough wage thieves over the last decade and a half. He tries, I grant him that, but he's not good enough. End of.

I think it was clear even early on that he wasn't going to cut it.

 

To be fair, McInnes did persist with Zola to begin with, maybe thinking it would take him time to adjust to a better standard, but watching him lumber around trying to control the ball like it was some alien object can't have inspired the manager.

 

People kept talking about his hold-up play being good, but I never saw much evidence that he was any better at holding the ball up and bringing others into play than any other player on the park. And for a lad his size to be so ineffectual in the air is just bizarre beyond belief.

 

There was also the claim that he 'pulls defenders out of position', but surely that's true of any attacking player. The obvious thing for a defender to do is pick up anyone nearing the box, Zola is no special case.

 

From my limited viewings of him I'd describe him as a big, useless, clumsy plug.

 

Maybe he was doing some good work in the games they weren't streaming live, and I was just unlucky enough to see his bad games.

If Rooney does sign I still think we need a big striker in the squad. Zola and Magennis aren't the answer and Vernon isn't suited to being a lone striker.

Boyd would be my choice...if AFC/Milne are serious about finally giving the city a team fit to challenge I'd be looking to sign him.

Statement 1 - bang on

 

Statement 2 - I think you may actually have seen his better games.

What have you done with Redstar?

Very good chief...Boyd is not a complete hun though...I'd class him alongside Bett,McLeish and Doug Bell...being besties with McCoist and positively salivating over the cunt...see Mchun and the GWT...mark a man down as a hun who is beyond redemption I'm afraid.
