GOSBTS, I know I'm going to be flamed/ banned or worse but here goes...

No disrespect to the WW1 soldiers, but as a modern football song?

Ever since I heard it back in the 1970's I've felt it was a drear, depressive, barely relevant football song.

I'd rather hear Fat Boy Slim's 'Praise You' booming out before they run out, or summat like that.

GOSBTS hardly fires up the players and crowd, does it?

On the subject of soldiery, I think you'll need to put your tin hat on...

Ah, it's been a while since this old chestnut of a thread topic raised it's ugly head. Fortunately it always gets the same result.

GOSBTS FOR EVER !

What's all this nonsense about it being a WW1 song? It was written in 1907 to celebrate the wedding of the composer's sister-in-law to a Captain in the Royal Sussex Regiment.

I was thinking about GOSBTS on the way home. It takes my breath away every time. Every time

Probably been drinking £2-99 red wine which has been corked.

GOSBTS is one of the highlights of a day out at the Amex for me. Certainly in recent months, someone's it has been THE highlight

Apologies. But doesn't change me view. Despite the flaming! And no I'm not Palarse, God forbid!

If it has the capacity to render HB&B unconscious, I'm all for it.

It's what sets us apart from the likes of Palace.

It's our song, end of.

 

[Hampster Gull]

[Fungus]

It fires me up.

Is it possible to cork wine that comes in a carton?

 

[Seagull]

On last week's episode of Death in Paradise a few bars of GOSBTS were played in the background by a West Indian brass band.
It's a world heritage tune.

Yeah well of course we all knew that. Why was he going up to win the cup though ?
