Jee Roo

He’s six foot three and solid bod
Wins all the headers with just a nod
Gooners welcome with open arms
Olivier Giroud

On winter nights, he wears no snood
bashing orcs, glistening nude
Stokies will tremble at the name
Olivier Giroud

Yet for France he played nigh zero
and we learned one thing in 2012′s Euro
Nasri is an angry boy, unlike
Olivier Giroud

There’s just one more task he could do
impart some wisdom on the press crew
and teach them how to pronounce his name,
It’s…
Olivier Giroud

About Tim

Owner, editor, and daily pundit for 7amkickoff. Started writing at 7amkickoff.com on January 1, 2008 as a New Year’s resolution and have written about Arsenal and other topics nearly every day since. Published in So Paddy Got Up the Arsenal Anthology and bi-weekly contributor to Arseblog News with my By the Numbers column. First fell in love with the Arsenal in 2001 when Wiltord won the League at Old Trafford. Have made the annual trip from my physical home in the Pacific Northwest to my spiritual home in London every year since 2006 when I saw Arsenal beat Charlton 3-0. On that day I saw three miracles: Arsenal play at Highbury; Pires, Henry and Bergkamp all play; and Alex Hleb score a goal. Father to my wonderful little daughter, passionate Gooner, irascible online personality: in that order. If you must, you may follow me on twitter @7amkickoff.

    I Need A Giroud

    Where have all the Bergkamps gone
    And where are all the Gods?
    Where’s the street-wise Henry Now
    To fight the rising odds?

    Isn’t there a wright wright upon a fiery wright?
    Late at night I toss and I turn
    And I dream of what I need

    I need a Giroud, I’m holding out for a Giroud
    ‘Til the end of the night
    He’s gotta be strong
    And he’s gotta be fast
    And he’s gotta be french and not shite

    I need a Giroud, I’m holding out for a Giroud
    ‘Til the morning light
    He’s gotta be sure
    And it’s gotta be soon
    And he’s gotta be better than Park
    (better than Chamakh)

    Someone after Bentdner
    In my wildest fantasy
    Someone who can take assists
    And Score some goals for me

    Racing through the centre
    And rising with the heat
    It’s gonna take a frenchman
    To sweep me off my feet

    Chorus

    Up where the manchesters and the mug smashers meet
    Out where the frightning stoke players be
    I could swear that there’s someone not chamakh is watching after me
    Through the wind and the chill and the rain
    A newcastle summers day
    I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood

    We are all a little infatuated with O.G. right now aren’t we? I know Original Gangsta is not really Arsenal’s image but I’d love to see him strike down an Orc or two

    Finally, some poetry for Giroud. Thanks, Tim.

    Based on my compulsory French courses in Canada, I believe “Jee-Roo” is exactly how it’s pronounced. Mind you, I skipped class a lot.
