[Football] Football Songs That Don't Really Work Any More

[Guinness Boy]

Was just watching an old Pointless we recorded and there was a round on football songs. One of the answers was "Aly's Tartan Army" from 1978, which used to have every club changing it to their own words during the FA Cup. I'm not sure it would work right now though.

"We're on the march with Graham's / Potter's Army"

People called Graham don't have an army and Potter's Army sounds like a J K Rowling reject.

"We're all going to Wemberley"

No we're not. Not till lockdown's over.

"And we'll really shake them up, when we win the FA Cup"

No, we won't. No one gives a shit anymore.

There must be loads of other examples? Over to you.....

I'm still reeling from this, to be honest.

Not so much a song as a chant granted - "Who's the w**ker in the black?" The refs these days seem to have a variety of coloured shirts, yellow, purple, green etc etc

Gonna fight, fight, fight for the Albion
Till we win division threeee

West Ham fans featuring guest singer, Michael Jackson 'I'm forever blowing bubbles'

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

I always think we should have a song to that tune.

Just look at how big 'Who's that man from Argentina?' was back in the day?

"You're going home in a Sussex ambulance" is now "You're going to be on hold to NHS 111 until your mobile battery goes flat."

You'll never walk (2m social distancing) alone!

Anything insulting Palace, Steve Coppell, Scousers, Northerners, swearing etc.

It’s 2020 and just can’t do that sort of thing anymore

You don't know what you're doing..........................but VAR appears to have proven you factually correct.
