you'll never walk alone...

[Lethargic]

Unwa at Anfield tends to be pretty poor these days except for special occasions and not a patch on the 60s - 80s let them finish their drivel them show them how is done with GOSBTS let them stand in awe not us!

 

[Mellotron]

Unbelievable. Maybe we should go in Liverpool shirts as well, with Suarez on the back? Genuinely embarrassing.

Are we a non-league side on a fun day trip up with the big boys? No, we are just outside the playoffs to the Prem, we have a squad full of quality players, and we just beat Newcastle.

They are more likely to laugh at us the way we gallop through GOSBTS.

 

[Marc1901]

I'll just stand and listen, no points of joining in or even booing.

 

[Yoda]

I think we should just stand and respectfully let them sing their thing (not join in, FFS), like a rugby team accepting the haka. Then as soon as they finish, belt out GOSBTS as a response.

But using the proper words to the verse, not Der, der, der, der's.

 

[Max Paper]

nobody can seriously want to join in ? ? ?

Sadly we are more likely to be promoted to the premiership than have the Albion fans sing the actual odds to GOSBTS.

It's a song from a Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, I really don't think anyone should take it too seriously

 

[Smythe]

Why don't we also all join in with Glad All Over, Bubbles, No-one Likes Us, When the Saints Go Marching In, Pompey Chimes etc...

Not sure why people are even suggesting we should be quiet during it. It is just another team's song, not a minutes silence or anything like that.

Geez. How to come across as a small time club out for a big day in one easy step...

Correct answer

 

[TheJasperCo]

This isn't a bloody tea-party. What's the harm in singing over them?

That said, I've gone for singing WITH them - adds to the atmosphere that way.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

I see where you're coming from but if we'd won up there a couple of weeks ago I'd have been singing it RIGHT in their faces and I'd have hoped others would have joined in.

No singing YNWA from me, other Premier League teams sure as hell don't do it, and it'd make me feel like a fan of a small Noddy team on a Big Cup Day Out. Like Havant & Waterlooville or something. Screw that, this is a winnable game for us, and I'm going up there hoping we beat them, not to shake hands with Scousers and tell them how amazing their club is. It's not like Liverpool have exactly covered themselves in glory lately anyway.

I wouldn't sing Glory Glory Tottenham Hotspur, or I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles, or Blue Is The Colour, so there is absolutely no chance of me joining in with that cliched old crap at Anfield. I have no issue with them doing it, it's what they do, but it would make us look utterly small-time if we all sang along. IMHO, like.

If you do choose to join in- don't forget your big foam glad hands, or half & half scarves, will you? If nothing else, they'll be useful for wiping the tears from your eyes as you reach the last few lines.

Amen to that.

 

[Triggaaar]

I don't get why we'd sing the oppositions song.

How exactly?

 

[Mr C Gull]

Contrary to popular belief on here, my experience of YNWA at Anfield was not impressive at all and consisted of them piping the music through loud speakers and limited singing by the fans (obviously not drawing any comparisons to GOSBTS at the Amex!)- this was some Europa league game a few years ago but it was probably on a par in terms of attractiveness for the bindippers.

They might belt it out for Utd, Everton or someone they have common ground with like Celtic, but for a fifth round FA cup tie against a lower league club i don't think it will be particularly loud and something that 6,000 Albion in full voice could conceivably counteract.

 

[Billy the Fish]

Anfield is nothing special either, their main stand is no bigger than our West stand, and the area is a total shithole. The atmosphere is average as well, no matter how many times the pundits bang on about it being special, it is just a myth created for the benefit of armchair supporters

 

[TheJasperCo]

How exactly?

Well, two teams singing different songs as loud as they can just creates a load of incoherent noise. Two teams belting out one song at the top of their lungs, that's a better way of improving the atmosphere.

I take it you disagree?

You are correct, I disagree. Sweet Jesus

 

[Commander]

For a guy who is happy to walk about wearing a Star Wars tracksuit top and a headband, you're getting surprisingly precious about what other people might think.

He does that IRONICALLY

 

[TheJasperCo]

You are correct, I disagree. Sweet Jesus

Phew, that's a relief. Just as well I'm not going then isn't it?

 

[Billy the Fish]

You are correct, I disagree. Sweet Jesus

Astonishing isn't it
