It really wasn't. Liverpool fans first started singing it in 1963 when Gerry and the Pacemakers released it. Celtic fans have never been known for their love of Rogers and Hammerstein musicals, but (along with everyone else) picked up on it later.

:lolol: And he'd better bloody sing the National Anthem! It will help of course that the royal family are also German. (And our patron saint is probably Turkish, but let's not get into all that).

Yes 'second tier', and I don't know how you can possibly say otherwise. Thirty, forty, fifty, sixty years of hurt with nothing to show for it (and we didn't win anything before 1966 either). Tournament after tournament. Decade after decade. As far as international football is concerned we're not...

Indeed. I do feel @Han Solo (and others, but he's been the most vocal) have a point. This isn't club football, and in the ideal world everyone connected with a national side should be of that nation. But where do you draw the line? As you've pointed out in the modern game the off-field staff...

As we've officially given up and are into yet ANOTHER rebuilding phase there is a part of me that wants to see Nick Chubb traded. Not because I want him to go, far from it, but he more than any other Browns player deserves success. At best it's going to take a year or two before we can be...

Just found out we've traded Amari Cooper to the Bills! So that's it, we've officially given up on this season and are stockpiling picks for next year.

I must admit when Southgate left I wanted Carsley. Not because I was a particular fan but because we'd tried everything else: the successful club manager, the unsuccessful club manager, the assistant and the storied foreigner. What else was left? We may as well try the 'insider', the guy who...

Hmm. Could be a comedy show? Mrs Broon's Boys?

You are quoting a post that's eleven years old! (I'm not even sure he posts on here any more).

Is this the right place for me to complain (again) about Coco Pops? I loved them when I was young and when my kids were little, and one of the things I was looking forward to most with grandchildren was having a cheeky bowl every now and again. However a few years ago I bought some for my...

Exactly. Let's be honest - that team from 1980(?) weren't very good even by the, much lower, standards of the day. 13th represented a huge achievement for us then. Now we'd be slightly disappointed. I know as an old bugger I'm supposed to say how much better things were in 'my day'; perhaps...

I thought there were some incredibly crass comments on this thread, more worthy of an old-school 'NSP speaks ill of the dead' thread, them I realised that for some reason Salmond's 'RIP' thread had been added/merged onto his court case one! Jeez. Anyway, yes, politically speaking he was a...

I voted 'fence'. When our 8 year old Fiesta finally gives up the ghost we may get an EV, it depends on where we are in our lives and how the technology as evolved. Currently the biggest argument against for me is that they're too big and/or too expensive. That will hopefully change. I won't be...

Not sure if this is out of place on an RIP thread, but I do feel the level of donations in his name is a bit on the low side. If you click on the link and check they are currently only at about £260, surely we can do better than that...

Not sure about Ian Beale but the actor who plays him, Adam Woodyatt, is a Liverpool fan.

Unfortunately I can't remember their name, but when my I scrapped my old Mondeo I had no trouble in finding a firm to come and take it away. (I'm in Brighton, I think they were in Portslade). I got £250 for it, which was only £50 less then We Buy Any Car had quoted me a few months earlier!

We watched the first episode and thought it was good, but yes, we are David Mitchell fans! I think if each week it is just a 'Jonathan Creek' style stand-alone episode where he simply solves puzzles it will get a bit samey, just a bit of a quirky police procedural, but there does seem to be an...

I remember when he was Dave in Mile Oak!

Yeah. About ten years ago, when I was in my fifties and still commuting to London, I was on a tube. It was crowded, but not 'sardine packed' and I was standing between the seats. Sitting down in front of me was this gorgeous young woman. I was staring at my feet, but I did raise my gaze once and...

No, and that's quite a weird leap. I'm married with two children, one grandchild, one elderly mother and one elderly father-in-law who all need looking after to greater or lesser degrees - even the grown-up kids . Plus I'm still working full time. I do not want a day of enforced contemplative...
