Struggling With His Name ? Meet Mo Po Or Is It MoPo !

Struggling With His Name ? Meet Mo Po Or Is It MoPo !
Tuesday, 22nd Jan 2013 13:17

Its fair to say that Saints supporters are struggling to pronounce the name of the new Saints manager, well its simple !#

Mauricio Pochettino isnt an easy name to type let alone pronounce and over the last few days Saints supporters have been struggling to work out how to say our new managers name without sounding like a tourist in downtown Malaga.

The answer is quite simple we dont have to pronounce it, we can appreviate it and with the current trend for power nicknames we can make it sound super cool and trendy, therefore just as Susan Boyle is now SuBo, Mauricio Pochettino can now be referred to as MoPo or maybe Mo Po, I havent quite decided what one i like best yet !

This simple abbrevation will save countless hours being wasted by Saiints supporters both in general every day conversation as well as ranting on internet message boards, the only disapointed parties will be those pedants who delight in pointing out spelling mistakes.

But on a serious note MoPo does have that ring to it, all the top celebrities these days (Im sure there are a few more than Susan Boyle)have an abreviation of their name as a nickname, so its an honour for Mauricio to be daubed with this one.

owenthesaints added 14:10 - Jan 22 Hi NicIlIo Not sure SuBo will ever be super cool and trendy, but whatever turns you on. It would seem we've not only got 'Jesus' onboard, the new manager is the 5th TelleTubbie â€“ Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa, Po and MoPo?

If its true that people are in fact struggling to pronounce his name its probably because he's new and they havnt got used to it yet.
There are lots of foreign players in our leagues that also have 4 syllable surnames which now roll off the tongue such as Zabaleta Ballotelli, Adebayor and many more.
Suggesting that we abbreviate his name to Mo Po is pretty silly, I am assuming that this was a tongue in cheek post aimed at raising a smile or two. nuff said.

Knees-up Mother Brown #24 by wessex_exile

After another weekend break to spend a very enjoyable afternoon with Spireite Craig watching the U’s get a well-deserved point at runaway leader Mansfield Town, followed by promotion back to the EFL for Chesterfield, the matchday Saturdays left before the end of the season are running out. So, given I’m away again next Saturday again to join 9,000+ for the visit of Planet Hollywood, I’m going to slip in a Good Friday special ahead of what will undoubtedly be two extremely important fixtures in deciding the fate of Colchester United. On Monday the family are arriving for their traditional Easter Egg Hunt (and obligatory roast dinner), so here goes for the visit of t’other Exiles to the JobServe. Come on Col U!

Following a disappointing result at Holker Street, exacerbated by yet more poor refereeing to deny us a clear penalty in the first half and award a non-existent free-kick to give the Bluebirds a first half lead (albeit the free-kick was an absolute blinder), and the inevitable postponement of the Donny game on Tuesday, the U’s now find themselves in the relegation zone. It is what it is, and with seven of our remaining 11 games at home, our destiny is still very much in our own hands – but everyone has to do their job, both on and off the (repurposed) pitch.

Thanks to a combination of postponements and a trip to Sutton following the U’s, it has been three weeks since the last blog, as the U’s prepare to face a very tricky opponent in Barrow AFC. Since they were voted out of the football league in 1972 (arguably thanks to Ronnie Radford’s screamer against Newcastle in the Edgar Street mud), the Bluebirds spent 48 years in the non-league wilderness before their return following the Covid-19 curtailment to the 2019/20 season. Some are surprised at how well they’re doing this season, but probably shouldn’t be – under new manager Pete Wild they finished a very respectable 9th last season and are clearly aiming to improve on that this time around. Mind you, we’ve got our own new management team in place too, and whilst wins are proving elusive right now, we’re certainly making ourselves a team hard to beat.

Bill Shankly once said that form is temporary, class is permanent. He was of course correct, but let’s hope never more so than today’s visit to Wetherby Road to take on the form side of League 2, Harrogate Town. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say the Sulfurites have defied the expectations of most pundits, many tipping them to be in another relegation scrap this season. But, long-standing manager (and former player) Simon Weaver has turned things around, and they currently sit just two places and two points outside the play-offs. Weaver was rightly awarded the Sky Bet League 2 Manager of the Month for January – hope he looks after it, because it’ll be Danny’s soon.

February, and the U’s enter the most pivotal month of the season. Six games in just four weeks, with four of them against sides also in the bottom six. By March we should be either well clear of danger, or even deeper in the sh*t. With Danny Cowley’s U’s still unbeaten, and looking stronger game on game, I’m sure it’ll be the former, but first we have to do our bit to consign Steve ‘Sour Grapes’ Cotterill’s FGR back to non-league. After our shambolic 5-0 defeat at New Lawn, nothing would give me greater pleasure, even if it meant losing one of my closest awaydays in the process. What’s the excuse going to be today Steve – shocking pitch, faking head injuries, Mexican banditry or some other bit of sour-grapery bullsh*t?
