Unai Emery Song – a Blast From the Recent Past
Once upon a time Aston Villa supporters were desperate. They believed in an owner because he tweeted emojis, and in a manager, who had never completed a second season with any team. Still, it didn’t stop them optimistically making a song about them.
Doctor Tony Went to Rome…
“Doctor Tony went to Rome in a Ford Mondeo…
Brought us back a manager – Robert Di Matteo!”
The song or the fraudsters (did Tony Xia actually have a enough money to buy a Ford Mondeo, never mind a football club?) did little to help Villa in their quest to get promoted out of the Championship at the first time of asking. Instead, they finished languishing 13th in the Championship table, laying the foundations for an embarrassing three-season period in the second-tier and a close brush with administration, after struggles to paid a £4.2m tax bill to HMRC.
Dark days indeed, but credit where it’s due, it was a catchy tune.
Ultimately, it was a waste of a song, but once bitten, twice shy, so Villa supporters have been obviously cautious in revamping it for new managers since.
Christian Purslow Went to Spain…
That is, until Unai Emery rode into town. Since the Spaniard took charge at Villa on November 1st, they have the third best record in the Premier League and only Arsenal can better their results on the road.
Cue the song being dusted down and reimagined. The CEO/Owner has been upgraded. The car has been upgraded (and the owners can actually afford it). But most importantly, the manager has been massively upgraded.
While it probably doesn’t have the comedic edge, or fits as good, lyrically, there’s no doubt this one will last a lot longer than its predecessor.
“Christian Purslow went to Spain, in a Lamborghini…
Brought us back a manager – Super Unai Emery!”
