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

[Eeyore]

'You're supposed to be at home'

More of a literal observation than a goading ditty.

There was an old joke about an earwig with shirt number "0" that nobody under thirty would get these days.

"Does your track and trace call centre operative know you're here?"

 

[Baldseagull]

"In your *Northern* slums" still applies in a few places but not half as widely as it did.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Funnily, after all these years, I still have hopes we may one day sign that flair Spanish winger, Juan Tanamera. The song would be epic.

North Stand song:

One Juan Tanamera, there's only one Juan Tanamera

Would they provide the full revolutionary lyrics, though?

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.....

“You’re gonna get your ****ing head kicked in”

 

[Yes Chef]

Stevie Coppell's illegitimate,
He ain't got no birth certificate....

etc

Maybe for the best that one has faded away

 

[Goldstone1976]

‘We’re shit, and we know we are’.

We’re just not any more.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Great thread

As well as the Notts County line I also recall an alternative - To Hell with Bournemouth too - early 70s I suspect

Also
Knock Knock
Who’s There?
Isa
etc

Referee Referee
Your Old Lady Is A Horse - or something similar

Ooh It’s A Corner, Ooh It’s A Corner etc - a fave of mine obviously

 

[Taybha]

Even when i sang this i had no idea what it meant .


When the red red robin goes bob bob bobbin along

 

[peterward]

Was gonna say "shit ground no fans"

But that still very much works at Selhurst.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Is that all you take away?

"Nice one, Cyril" He's too dead to hear it.

 

[MTSeagulls]

Get your tits out for the lads.

"We all follow the Albion
Over land and sea
But only after a 14-day quarantine of course..."

At Hampden When supporting Scotland in late 80s we had a wee diddty along the line “Dennis Thatcher your wife’s a c***”, repeat, repeat

"Does your track and trace call centre operative know you're here?"

Ahem. *Test and trace*

I just miss stamping my feet when we get a corner. Doesn’t have the same effect as the old Withdean South Stand.
