[Archived] De Pedro Signs

[roversmum]

In the interests of research (or so he says) Mr Roversmum has been busy watching his tapes of the Spanish matches circa World Cup 2002.

The lad is certainly most impressive. Mr Cole and young Jon should be able to make much of his superb crosses.

Roll on the new season.......

[greggyk]

what about the Di Canio song.

We've got de Pedro,

You've got fu(kallio!!

[tashor]

There was a man, a Spanish man

Who won our love through his brilliance

All Ewood cared, that went unsaid

We all relied on his resilience

And Javier's the only wing in town

And every man that he beats looks a clown

And watching him it's easy to pretend

We'll never loose again

And keeping to himself he plays the game

Without our love it wouldn't be the same

While play goes on around him everywhere

We're watching Javier

Another game, a loosing game

So sad to say that his leg's broken

And through the match, the Ewood night

Our eyes are closed, cruel fate has spoken

And Javier was the only wing in town

And every man that he beat looked a clown

And watching him it was easy to pretend

We'd never loose again

And keeping to himself he watches the game

Without our love it'll never be the same

While play goes on around him everywhere

Poor injured Javier

Our little hope, went up in smoke

Just how it went, goes without saying

Javieeeeeeer

And without him it's easy to pretend

We'll never score again

Ohhh

And weeping to ourselves we watch the game

Despite our love it always ends the same

While play goes on around us everywhere

We're missing Javier...

Javier!! Javier!!

It's either from Cosi fan Tutte or Madam Butterfly, anyway, the chant had already been appropriated for Di Canio.

"Franciso de Pedro! Franciso de Pedro!"

then higher:

"Franciso de Pedro! Franciso de Pedro!"

If that's the same as the "Sit Down Pinocchio" that everyone sings to Phil Thompson of Liverpool then it's "La Donne e Mobile" from Verdi's Rigoletto.

Cheeky Sidders told us that a while back.

And if it isn't, then what the heck.

The people in charge of the Blackburn Rovers have been enchanted with the hiring of the ex- realist, after, according to they assure through his page Web, they saw frustrated his draftee "the last season". The president of the Blackburn, John Williams, affirmed yesterday in the English city that "as soon as we heard that Of Pedro he was available, Graeme Souness - the trainer placed his list of priorities". "Of Pedro he is a player of proven level and our fans must be very contentments of which Vista our blue and white t-shirt", indicated the deluded president of the English square. On the other hand the technician, Graeme Souness, emphasized that "Javier de Pedro is a left-handed person with great international experience that will contribute goals with its game. He has an incredible ability with the left leg and two seasons ago he was the best assistant of Spanish Liga

Like the bit about John Williams, the deluded president and Graeme Sounes, the technician

Has anybody came across anything that Javier's said about his move? I cant find anything!

[Blueboy Downunder]

i am interested to hear what javier actually thinks about this move?? he turned down 7 clubs from his homeland to come and play for rovers in the premiership....well me thinks he might be getting more tahn what he was being offered back home. anyway, hopefully he can be a sensation for us on the left side. technically, most of the europeans are very very good and i hope that this will be the case as well as hoping that he has desire.

[ABBEY]

he heard about the blue nile special kebabs!!

As long as i know De Pedro said many times in the last years that he wanted to try a new experience playing abroad, and the league he liked the most was the English one, so maybe he's losing money for coming here, but this is his desire. Is the same that happened with Guardiola when he left Barça to play in Italy.

I think De Pedro hasn't said about the trade yet. Probably we'll have to wait until the official press conference (you know, when the player takes the shirt with the coach and speaks to the journalists). Do you know when will the press conference and official introducing take place? I want to see pics of de Pedro in the blue and white (excepting the Real Sociedad's shirt, of course ).

[unleaded]

Abbey whats the THE BLUE NILE kebabs like?

Abbey whats the THE BLUE NILE kebabs like?

They're kebabs that are made out of meat, rather than hospital waste.
