Would Hoolahan be better if he was taller ?

Recommended Posts

That''s what a number of the pundits are saying. For a start he would cover a far greater distance so he would be better on that stat alone. Headers. He would win more and so probably score more from corners and set pieces. But his wages would then be higher. Not that we pay players by the yard, but that a better player would want more money. Spain have done really well with a lot of shorties. Perhaps we need more. Who knows.

I wish I was little bit taller

I wish I was a baller

I wish I had a girl who looked good

I would call her

I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat

And a six four Impala

I wish I was like six-foot-nine

So I can get with Leoshi

''Cause she don''t know me but yo she''s really fine

You know, I see her all the time

Everywhere I go and even in my dreams

I can scheme a way to make her mine

''Cause I know she''s livin'' phat

Her boyfriend''s tall and he plays ball

So how am I gonna compete with that?

''Cause when it comes to playing basketball

I''m always last to be picked

And in some cases never picked at all

So I just lean up on the wall

Or sit up in the bleachers with the rest of the girls

Who came to watch their men ball

Dag y''all! I never understood, black

Why the jocks get the fly girls

And me I get the hood rats

I tell ''em scat, skittle, scabobble

Got hit with a bottle

And I been in the hospital

For talkin'' that mess

I confess it''s a shame when you livin'' in a city

That''s the size of a box and nobody knows yo'' name

Glad I came to my senses

Like quick-quick got sick-sick to my stomach

Overcommeth by thoughts of me and her together, right?

So when I asked her out she said I wasn''t her type

I wish I was little bit taller

I wish I was a baller

I wish I had a girl who looked good

I would call her

I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat

And a six four Impala

I wish I was little bit taller

I wish I was a baller

I wish I had a girl who looked good

I would call her

I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat

And a six four Impala

I wish, I had a brand-new car

So far, I got this hatchback

And everywhere I go, yo I gets laughed at

And when I''m in my car, I''m laid back

I got an 8-track and a spare tire in the backseat

But that''s flat

And do you really wanna know what''s really whack?

See I can''t even get a date

So, what do you think of that?

I heard that prom night is a bomb night

With the hood rats you can hold tight

But really tho'' I''m a Figaro

When I''m in my car, I can''t even get a hello

Well so many people wanna cruise Crenshaw on Sunday

Well then I''ma have to get in my car and go

You know, I take the 110 until the 105

Get off at Crenshaw tell my homies look alive

''Cause it''s hard to survive when you''re livin''

In a concrete jungle and

These girls keep passin'' me by

She looks fly, she looks fly

Makes me say my, my, my

I wish I was little bit taller

I wish I was a baller

I wish I had a girl who looked good

I would call her

I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat

And a six four Impala

I wish, I was little bit taller

I wish, I was a baller

I wish, I had a girl who looked good

I would call her

I wish, I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat

And a six four Impala

I wish I was a little bit taller

(Wish I was a little taller)

I wish I was a baller

(Wish I was a baller)

I wish I was a little bit taller y''all

(Wish I was a little taller)

I wish I was a baller

(Wish I was a baller)

I wish I was a little bit taller y''all

(wish I was a bit taller)

I wish I was a baller

(Wish I was a baller)

I wish I was a little bit taller

(Wish I was a little taller)

I wish I was a baller (yeah)

Hey, I wish I had my way

''Cause every day would be a Friday

You could even speed on the highway

I would play ghetto games

Name my kids ghetto names

Little Mookie, big Al, Lorraine

Yo, you know that''s on the real

So if you''re down on your luck

Then you should notice how I feel

''Cause if you don''t want me around

See I go simple, I go easy

I go Greyhound

Hey, you , what''s that sound?

Everybody look what''s going down

Ahh, yes, ain''t that fresh?

Everybody wants to get down like dat

I wish I was little bit taller

I wish I was a baller

I wish I had a girl who looked good

I would call her

I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat

And a six four Impala

I wish I was a little bit taller

I wish I was a baller

I wish I was a little bit taller y''all

I wish I was a baller

I wish I was a baller

I wish I was a baller

I wish, I wish, I wish

Must be quiet in Cork tonight !

Wes would win more headers if he was taller, would probably get charged full fare on the bus, would not mixed up with mascots pre match, would have to pay more for his clothes, but i doubt he would be a better player, his low centre of gravity, eye for a pass and speed of thought are what makes him the player he is, IMO.

Copy and paste is a wonderful thing Lesso (thats an irish thing), that song just sprung to mind when i read the thread title. i wish i could work out how to post a direct link on this forum rather than just the URL as its a brilliant song.

Who cares how big he is , he''s evergreen (and yellow).

Evergreen Corky, and as Irish as the pigs of Doherty, as me old grandad used to say.

"The Scots for the thistle, the English for the Rose and Paddy for the Shamrock and the land that it grows"

My favourite Irish song, now adopted / adapted by Liverpool as well as Celtic fans, just for you Corky.........

By a lonely prison wall

I heard a young girl calling

Micheal they are taking you away

For you stole Trevelyn''s corn

So the young might see the morn.

Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay.

Low lie the Fields of Athenry

Where once we watched the small free birds fly.

Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing

It''s so lonely ''round the Fields of Athenry.

By a lonely prison wall

I heard a young man calling

Nothing matters Mary when you''re free,

Against the Famine and the Crown

I rebelled they ran me down

Now you must raise our child with dignity.

Low lie the Fields of Athenry

Where once we watched the small free birds fly.

Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing

It''s so lonely ''round the Fields of Athenry.

By a lonely harbor wall

She watched the last star falling

As that prison ship sailed out against the sky

Sure she''ll wait and hope and pray

For her love in Botany Bay

It''s so lonely ''round the Fields of Athenry.

Low lie the Fields of Athenry

Where once we watched the small free birds fly.

Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing

It''s so lonely ''round the Fields of Athenry.

He probably would of been coached as a very different player possibly in a different position with very different attributes if he was born a bit taller so its not really comparible. If he was 6ft 2 he probably wouldn''t be a number 10 with the turning circle of a flea.
