[Albion] Songs from yesterday's match

[timbha]

Please no “we support our local team” this season. Now that is ultra tin pot

 

[Machiavelli]

Can we get a good original, easy to sing FH song going please? And I asked elsewhere but what's the first proper line of the JPvH song please?

Wooo woooo wooo
He's better than Cannavaro
And there's nobody better
Than Jan Paul Van Hecke
He's the best looking Dutchman I know

 

[trueblue]

Brighton and Hove is a unitary authority, so in local government terms is not in either east or West Sussex……. A bit pedantic, I feel!

In geographical terms still East Sussex though?

Follow, follow, follow
He's better than Cannavaro
There's nobody better
Than Jan Paul van Hecke
The best f***ing Dutchman I know

Yes - I guess so, or just in Sussex -neither east or west…… which is why I said it was a bit pedantic

 

[Albion my Albion]

Three observations
1/ "It's all gone quiet over there" Fate tempter especially when sung at 1-0 o.k. so it worked out well in the end but still a bit tinpot and done to death, not for me jeff
2/ "You've seen the albion now etc etc" hate it when sung to us, and even more when we sing it. Surely we are better than that.
3/ "BHA oh we love you, we're the sussex boys in the white and blue" great normally except yesterday we were not, they were the team in those colours!

The third point is so simply fixed with a simple tweak when we play in a changed strip e.g. for yesterday -
Brighton and hove albion
we love you so
we're the sussex boys
in black and yellow

we could even add a comedic and tongue in cheek second verse
and under each arm
a strip of white
it's a little bid odd
and doesn't look right

although maybe that is a step too far!
and before anyone says i am entirely negative i absolutely loved the ole passing chant that went on for so long that even our own fans were tiring of it! superb!

you are entirely negative but then so is one post on a battery.

"We support YOUR local team" is still funny though.

Fabs is our Texan German manager
With the luck of a Turkish janitor
There will never be a more better challenger
to the Champions League banner damager.

We got chatting to an Everton supporting couple on the train on the way home who turned out to be near neighbours. That’s by the by but they commented on how much they enjoyed listening to ‘the choir’ in the away end. I did point out that we won 3-0 and could be as quiet as the next team when roles are reversed.

How is Pickford really shite for Everton and yet he's great for England?

Hope he got a good ovation yesterday by Albion fans. Did all he could to win us the Euros.

Odd comment. The reason he plays for England is that he’s not shit at all for Everton.

Err no, definitely not a standing ovation ! He did acknowledge the away end after one particularly loud ‘you’re shit aghhhhh…’
His distribution was as woeful as ever hence the jeering.

He's been their fans' player of the season for the last two years (might be three) actually.

Appreciate it's a low bar in that squad, but still.

And, East and West Sussex are different from the historic county of Sussex, which we hail from and there is no division nor boundary, just the 5 rapes.

OK. He was fantastic at the end of last season for Everton but so often his positioning can be a fault. I don't know how he can keep going mentally with relegation dog fights every season. Whenever he pulls on the England shirt he's Mister reliable and surprised a bigger club haven't come in for him - especially huge Spanish or Italian sides.

Everton who finished nearly bottom of the EPL, and not many options nearer the top because they're all FOREIGN !!

There must be a Scorpions song you singers could work on ?

First world middle class irritability.

(I feel your pain. We don't 'all' follow the Albion. Nor do we literally 'follow' the Albion. You can get two years for that.)
