I cant bring myself to like this idea. For me its lacks originality but if people want to chant it and it makes em happy so be it.
What I am surprised about is I haven't really noticed anyone mention another person with regards to our style of play. The way we play its like we are just going to try and score more goals than you. That kind of philosophy has all the hallmarks of Kevin Keegan with his first stint at Newcastle.
The club needed a boost and he provided this positive vibe throughout not just the club, but the city. Now I see DA starting to do similar things with this football club.
The players all talk well of him. The fans love are starting to adore him because not just of results, but the style and the manner of games. Exactly the same with Keegan. They both want to make football fun.
Every time DA comments on a match its almost as if he wants to enjoy the football himself, as much as the paying public. Newcastle scored goals for fun and really it didn't matter if they went behind because they just went out and attacked, attacked, attacked!!
The reason why this "Scottish Mourinho" tag doesn't work for me is that one plays a solid, defensive game and when winning by the odd goal shuts up shop whilst the other is more clavier and dynamic. He wants to entertain. Which if we are honest is not in the Mourinho philosophy. You could argue they both like to think tactically about games but really the one thing that you can pin of both is their real desire to win. A hunger. Its why Adams played a strong team last night.

The similarity wasn't lost on me. I'd be happy if DA continues this "we'll score more than you" Keegan-esque approach and doesn't do what Keegan is also famous for: quitting when the going gets a little bit tough.
I think some people think far too much.
'I was born under the Demport End' - Really, what the hell was your mother thinking?
'In Dublin's fair city where the girls are so pretty' - Have you seen the girls in Dublin?
'You're going home in a Devon Ambulance' - Are you not aware of the cuts in the NHS?

I'll admit it's a bit cringey but I join in when the chant is started, it's not exactly a big deal, bit of fun.
"There's only one Derek Adams" or "Derek give us a wave" could also be sung.

I'm looking forward to us being drawn against Chelsea in FAC3
Then we can greet the opposition manager with chants of "Portuguese Adams".
