'Build a bonfire' is an old school kids song. Its had many adaptions (including ours).

Bit late to the song, aren’t they? It’s not like this rot hasn’t been happening since Fergie left..

Although if you google its origins you could be forgiven for thinking it was Manchester United's own song!

 

[redoubtable seagull]

Was that today and during the match? The ground is empty.
The plastics and tourists giving Man Utd a miss these days?

I detect a hint of cockerney in that link

Quite. It's probably been sung on football terraces for 60 odd years.

It used to be sung about burning teachers and prefects. Perhaps they should sing it about Liverpool. They're certainly getting schooled by them at present.

I can definitely see at least one person

 

[Me and my Monkey]

Didn’t they win 4-0 today? Christ, what are they whingeing about? Pathetic.

It may well be, but football wise most fans of my age agree it’s a Brighton song.

Having a whinge because you're not in the top 4 of the PL isn't quite the same gripe as having your clubs constitution changed and subsequentlY flogged off by a pair of crooked shysters leaving a whole club homeless and on the brink of collapse. Although if that happened to Manure I probably would have a private chuckle.

What’s the pint of the thread?! Man U have sang that for years and years - used to be scousers and city...?! Still think we started it as a football song though.

AFAIK, Man Utd fans haven't sung anti-owner songs for YEARS. (And they were doing it during an impressive win. Fair play for that.)

Edit: The media picked up on it too. https://metro.co.uk/2020/01/11/manc...ZxCCVo48WzATQJ3FP0n4-4D8201kCw90z7NR3-RVzmZTw

 

[Munkfish]

Wait until they realise there are more versus!

Hire a hitman hire a hitman shoot belloti in the head
Shoot bill archer in the stomach and they’ll both be ****ing dead

Ah not so sure but they’ve sang BaB for years. They had all the green and gold thing some years ago - often have spoken out about owners. Know Woodward isn’t popular but that’s the first time I’ve heard them sing anti him songs.

 

[METALMICKY]

It always makes me smile when some of our fans chant this old classic. Many seen to have forgotten that Mr Belloti was burned very badly back in 2015!

A decade ago.

Any news on the land deals thief Archer himself?

Cheers. I was trying to remember who went in the middle.
