Jeezus just bloody sing the Knockaert Marseillaise song! Whenever it doesn't matter. Just sing it! To those that find it too complicated or confusing, it's to the Man U fans tune of Ooh aah Ooh aah Ooh aah Cantona. It's a much much better song than the we've got Knockaert crap.
Find it surprising that there is so little faith that the Marseillaise can take off, it's not hard and it sounds great. The club and family thing is, yes, a bit cringy but the tune is good. Probably needs to grow out of an away game with a smaller crowd that can teach the majority at a home game.

Yeah, that line is a bit wanky, just leave it at 'Brings the victory' or ' The Albion's Messi'
An-thony, An-thony!
An-thony, An-thony!
Knockaert, Knockaert,
Tears Teams Apart,
He's the Albion's Messi!
Personally I like the idea of nous t'aimons because its pretty much the least likely thing ever sung at a football match.

Yeah, it's the least likely to get sung at the Amex too, a lot of fans pick up the song at the game. Needs to be simple. I really hope it gets going, it's much more powerful than the we've got Knockaert song and is more unique.
Given we can't even get GOSBTS right, with the words on screen, I tend to agree with you
"For such a truly exceptional person" . Sick bag please ! If he was a shit player no one would care, sorry his dad died but let's gets some perspective. Move on.

Probably want to re-phrase that. I'm sure it's not what you meant.

Thanks for all the comments. Back to the point. Firstly, the song was written and had been posted on NSC long before news broke about Knockaert’s father. It’s a tribute to the player and his ability.
Secondly, why bother with a new song for AK? Simple.
Yes, he's already got a song. And lots of people sing it. But it’s rubbish. Why? Try these: –
Enough said? As for “We’ve got Knockaert, Just don’t think you understand??" Understand what? WTF?
We are Brighton. We’re supposed to be better than this. And a fantastic player like Knockaert certainly deserves something far better than yet another dreary, rip-off of a song about Paddy McCourt? Paddy McCourt? Do me a favour!
Hence an attempt at a new song. One that’s different. One that pays tribute to the player, his nationality and his total brilliance – and his deserved place amongst true Albion legends.
You don’t have to like the Knockaert Marseillaise. But please don’t tell me that singing the appalling Achy Breaky Heart is in any way better. It’s just another unoriginal, me-too copy of other people’s rubbish. Anthony Knockaert deserves far better than that.
Rant over.

“We’ve got McCourt, Paddy McCourt…” (Celtic, and, ironically, us)
“We’re Ipswich Town….”
“Don’t sell Knockaert”…… (Leicester City)

It's dull every time someone dies whether it's a fan or a family member that people feel the need to go way beyond what's needed. The players/management etc went to the funeral/players celebrated with Knocky's shirt at Bristol and fans sang his name. isn't that enough?
It really does get to much these days. Move on and get behind the team against Villa.

I mean, you've literally not read the first line of his post which you quoted.
Give me lines
Totally agree. The players held his shirt aloft and some went to the funeral of a man they probably hadn't met, what more sycophantic things can people think up to do for our best player (I'm not in any way suggesting people are being sycophantic so he'll feel obligated to stay at the club if we don't get promoted !).

He's only trying to create a new song. He's clearly said it was done prior to AK's family events.
Bloody hell

If people want to sing it, let them sing it. If people don't, they can keep quiet. That's all there is to it, for me.
I don't get why people have to judge their fellow fans based on what they do at a football match

He said it would be "a nice touch" and "a tribute to his family". Read what he said !

I completely agree with you, the current song is crap. To get the Knockaert Marseillaise going would be immense. It's not difficult, it's catchy and as long as we can sort the last line out, it will work well. Personally I like ' brings us victory'.
