It hasn't stopped YOUR lot from singing it.Do Rangers fans not see the irony of them promoting a song with the line "you'll never be blue" in it?

Great shout from [MENTION=33924]Nixonator[/MENTION], YNWA truly is a frightful mawkish dirge. As soon as I hear those dreary opening notes dribbling out of the tannoy I feel like self-harming.

Do Stoke fans still sing Delilah?

Never in the history of football fans 'interpreting' song, has a piece of music been destroyed so completely as the Welsh national and Cardiff fans do to Men Of Harlech. Oh, and Harlech is about 3 hours from Cardiff, how does that work?

Shame Palace don't adopt the same policy then we would rarely hear theirs.

The problem with Men of Harlech is that there are so many versions of the words that it is impossible to gather thousands of people together and get them to sing the same anthem. The version I was taught at school in Wales begins with the line "Hark I hear the foe advancing ..." - nothing like the song that features in Zulu. The best that anyone can hope for is a decent hum. And that effort at West Ham isn't.
Must admit i like Men of Harlech, Ive seen a YouTube video of Swansea fans singing it going down an escalator in a London tube station. Ive got no Welsh connections but I think that anthem sounds great.

Eh? Since when have Palace described themselves as the blues or bluenoses?

Do Wigan come out to "I'm a Believer" or is just something that all 23 of them sing throughout a game?

What about this pile of sh!te
Oh, no. That's twice I've seen that in two days. It's painful.
I know it as the Natonal anthem of the ancient Briton as sung on hiking trip's at uni
I love the going up to win the cup when I started going thats all that was sung back in the early 90 s so there is no way im ever going to change its only since the last few season stand or fall has been sung out by the jcl yes its the original song but I ve been going for over 20 years constantly and never heard anyone sing it apart from the last few seasons each to there own though
I agree that back in the 80's when I started going it was always der der der.... etc and "going up to win the cup". However it sounds so much better now with the proper words, and the "Stand or Fall"lyric, is a fantastic line with real meaning. It's noticeable that at the last couple of away games the 2nd verse has also been sung. It's a unique song for The Albion and sounds great when sung at the right speed.

Indeed. My mum was taught a version that went like this (I can only remember the beginning):
"Men of Harlech! In the Hollow,
Do you hear like rushing billow
Wave on wave that surging follow
Battle's distant sound?
Tis the tramp of Saxon foemen,
Saxon spearmen, Saxon bowmen,
Be they knights or hinds or yeomen,
They shall bite the ground!"
Very anti-English! (The 'Zulu' version was written specifically for the film)

Day or Night, I'm green and white
We are Yeovil Town, Oo Arr
The opening verse is genius:
I was born on a Yeovil Saturday
It was pissing down with rain
My Mum said "What a big head"
"I ain't doing that again"
