"You're just a small town in...." is THE worst song we (well, you) sing.

eg "Small town in Tottenham" sung at Arsenal.

That's TOTAL cringe.

Not as bad as 'small town in Villa...' :ffsparr:

The Socceroo song is a hybrid.

I despair that our esteemed songwriters are only able to come up with cover versions.

Surely the worst some was(is?) that rip-off of the one that mob up the road sing with all the cocking "Wooaaahhhs" in it?

That Bright-On song sung to the tune of 'Bright eyes' was the worst song we've ever sung by a country mile.

Just needs the last line fixing. Maty clearly doesn't give a shit about Palace, let alone hate them

He is always stood up when the North sing "Stand up if you hate palace"

In fairness, this is the one thing I would change and replace Palace with whatever team we are playing at the time... Or it doesn't track, maybe the name of their highest goalscorer.

In fact the more you analyse it in the cold light of day, just about ALL our songs are just that little bit shit. Apart from the tried and trusted Al-Bion! Al-Bion! At least it gets the whole crowd going. Even those few awake in the East Stand.

I think the esteemed Fatty Taxman may have had a part to play in that.

Personally I'd add the "we support our local team" one in there. Especially when the entire 24 hours before the game on social media the club has been bigging up Gully being in the US drumming up support.

Yes, but at least people realised Bright Eye and the Palace rip-off were utter pants.

The "small town" thing is STILL sung.
Even after all these years of cringe the thickos still sing it.

Simple works... Complex falls flat. It has to be a tune most recognise and the more familiar/natural the words the quicker it takes off.

Plus, I only learned at Wembley that not everyone was aware of the "newer" version of Murray Wonderland that gets belted out of the North. Apparently other parts of the ground weren't aware we called him a c**t but now he's upfront.

Said before, will say again, we ought to have a whole section of NSC dedicated to songs and agreed lyrics.

You've never had the total joy that is The Cardinal slurring it in to your earhole on a train home. Or maybe you have.

Yep, and the VERY worst example of this was "You're just a small town near Delhi" sung at Luton. I mean really? REALLY?
