We have got to get a better song for the man.
Surely it has to be along the lines of "Let it Be" I can imagine the ground belting this out
"When i find myself in times of trouble, Unai comes to me, speaking words of wisdom - Emery.....and so on"
Agreed.

I think that it scans better with "Unai Emery comes to me"

There's a man who comes to me

Is better.

Too connected to Liverpool for me - anything by The Beatles that is.  Not that I have a better suggestion.

Nah the Scouse redemption post Gerrard / those ‘times of trouble’ works perfectly. It’s the song we just have to make happen, we’ve done this to death and fine tuned this already surely, we just need to share it and get it going?

It’s a somg that’s spiritual that hits deeper levels, he needs a big song.

Either that, no AND, swords of a thousand men.

Fully agree with you, PT. I can't get on board with Reuben's point as he's too connected to Man Citeh for me.

So so tempted to start a new thread for this, maybe there should be as once this takes off I’m sure it’ll become an iconic villa and, well European chant.

So hacking a few threads together

We have got to get a better song for the man.

Surely it has to be along the lines of "Let it Be" I can imagine the ground belting this out

"When i find myself in times of trouble, Unai comes to me, speaking words of wisdom - Emery.....and so on"

There's a man who comes to me

Is better.




I really hope the one that was on a flag recently is captured by the fans and belted out to the tune of Let it Be

"Speaking words of wisdom, Emery - Emery,Emery, Emery, Emery..speaking words of wisdom Emery"
Agreed, first new chant I've heard that I'd genuinely like to see taken up.
I'm with you on this as well.

I really hope the one that was on a flag recently is captured by the fans and belted out to the tune of Let it Be

"Speaking words of wisdom, Emery - Emery,Emery, Emery, Emery..speaking words of wisdom Emery"
Was sang with gusto by Villa fans in cafe old sailor in Amsterdam on Friday afternoon


When we found ourselves in times of trouble, going down with Stevie G
He came with words of wisdom, Emery
And from that hour of darkness he is now creating history
Speaking words of wisdom, Emery
Emery, Emery, Emery, oh Emery
Speaking words of wisdom, Emery

That's very good.


And so nobody feels left out

I have been waiting a while to hear "Let it be" for Emery

Once it takes off it would be awesome

Wonder if the crowd will sing the Emery version of Let It Be tonight. 

Hope this catches on.... A full Villa Park on song, this would be spine tingling.

What are the words to this one?

My ode to Emery. Emotional.

When we found ourselves in times of trouble,
Nasar Sawiris came to see
Sacking with such wisdom, Stevie G

And in our hour of darkness, he is landing Unai Emery
Coaching genius wisdom, Emery
Emery, Emery, Emery, Emery
Always so demanding, Emery!

And when our broken-hearted fans living in this world could see
Unai has a system, Emery
For we saw at Villa how he started, beating Man U scoring 3
Made it into a fortress, Emery !

Emery, Emery, Emery, Emery
He came with the answers. Emery!

Emery, Emery, Emery, Emery
Coaches with words of wisdom, Emery

Emery, Emery, Emery, Emery
Europe is his kingdom. Emery

And when we see the team playing, there is thrill, delight, we shine. Can't disagree!
Happy that players follow Emery!

I wake up like we were crowned v Munich, Unai bringing hope to me.
Coaching Genius Wisdom, Emery

Emery, Emery, Emery, Emery
Europe is his kingdom. Emery

Emery, Emery, Emery, Emery.
He has all the answers, Emery!

Emery, Emery, Emery, Emery
Coaches with such wisdom, Emery!

My suggestion right now

Going on the principle of minimum change, and failing to find previous efforts

Quote
original

When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

When I find myself in times of trouble, there’s a man who comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, Emery
And in my hour of darkness he is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, Emery
Emery, Emery, Emery, Emery,
Whisper words of wisdom, Emery,

Change Whisper for singing and we are good?

Ok apologies, last of the let it be dump, found a note on my phone from last December, likely cobbled from others contributions:

So I hope my final effort




When I find myself in times of trouble, there’s a man who comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, Emery
And in my hour of darkness he is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, Emery
Emery, Emery, Emery, Emery,
He’ll always be a Villan, Emery

Optional Verse 2


I was brokenhearted but Naseef Sawiris said to me.
There will be an answer, Emery
He came and woke the sleeping giant, and now the whole world can see
Villa have the answer, Emery
Emery, Emery, Emery, Emery,
He’ll always be a Villan, Emery

He's our Fergie.
He's just the best - everyone can see now what a brilliant manager he is.

After reading the last couple of pages, I hope not!

I sometimes sing them under my breath when I don't think anyone's looking.
