Have you seen the muppett show

[Mr Bridger]

Almost the perfect NSC post. Criticise an attempt to get atmosphere, use of the terms embarrassing and tinpot. Just needed a cringe in there and you would have completed the set.

What he said

 

[Mr Bridger]

I believe Cardiff City received a complaint from Bristol City a some years back when they played the muppet theme tune as Bristol City ran out before kick off, back in the days when you did not always have both teams running out together.

That would be funny.

Or the Benny Hill theme.

 

[Seasidesage]

Don't like a song? Don't sing it, simple really. That song has been going at least back to the 70's and people have every right to sing it.

I don't but then I don't sing anything else. I do however really ****ing hate Palace...

 

[Nibble]

Is this durge possibly the worst and most embarrassing chant that comes from us? I had the misfortune to be a couple of rows in front of the ahem muppett who kept trying to get this going at Bolton luckily this time it failed to catch on. It just makes us look tin pot that certain cretins resort to this non discript crap when they should be getting behind the lads. Is not be surprised based on some performances that our players don't think its aimed at at them. Awful just awful.

No, I'm sorry, you're going to have to type that again in English and with some punctuation.

I like it. It's been around for 30 years.

About 39 tbh

 

[Thunder Bolt]

All it says to me is we have an inferiority complex where Palace are concerned. Do they come up with numerous chants about us when playing at away grouns all over the country ( I don't know but i doubt it) It's simlar to Bolton playing at teh Amex singing it about manchetser United a team that have been generally better and more succesful than themselves and drawing attention to the fact.

Yes, they do. I have a friend who lives in Manchester, who went with his Man City mate, to watch that game. Palace fans spent the whole match singing songs about Brighton.

Don't be daft. We'd need bedwetters and lickers to get a full house.

Don't really see the need to pick on this particular gormless song/chant over other Albion chants/songs currently in use;

- 'By FAR the greatest team the world has ever seen' (I mean, REALLY?!)

- 'Going up to win the cup for Sussex by the Sea' (Hard pushed to win even the Sussex Cup nowadays. Sake!)

Still, far better to sing something totally twattish than just sit there in silence tho eh?

Agreed. CMS 'chasing down defenders and SCORING GOALS FOR FUN'

What, like "We scored three, they scored one, Brighton take it up the bum", say?

How about "chasing like a chicken, whose head has f%*king gone"?

 

[nwgull]

Yes, they do. I have a friend who lives in Manchester, who went with his Man City mate, to watch that game. Palace fans spent the whole match singing songs about Brighton.

Doesn't surprise me. Whenever we're playing on telly, or they don't have a fixture, the #bhafc tag on twitter is full of palace, particularly if we're losing. They still give a large shit about us - which is good to know.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

I like it. It's been around for 30 years.

Closer to 40 , although the original version did include the lines "We all come from Brighton Town , so get ya ****ing knickers down !" which is not politically correct for today

 

[melias shoes]

F*ck me someone else moaning about a song, why don't we just all sit there in silence so not to upset anyone

They won't be happy until it we are

sorry mate - but thats just bollocks.

theres a couple of songs in which brighton get a mention and they are sung maybe once at any given game.

I don't think you will hear too many loud renditions of that chant (hopefully).
Most Palace fans find it pretty moronic and embarrassing.

 

[Captain Sensible]

I love it, palace are muppets. The chant explains that. What I don't get is why some muppet would start a thread complaining about it? Idiot!

 

[Bombadier Botty]

No, I'm sorry, you're going to have to type that again in English and with some punctuation.

'And' is a tricky one - some people (not my English teacher other half I hasten to add) would say that you should have a comma before the 'and' in the above sentence. 'Or' is another tricky one because technically it's taking the place of a comma, but sometimes it can go with a comma. Lastly, we capitalise English, as in the school subject, but should we capitalise maths or art or history? If someone could clarify the above points I can get my YA novel manuscript tidied up post haste and emailed off to Curtis Brown literary agents. Ta.
