Not false, just a bastardised version of George Handel's Zadok the Priest

Truly bastardised, the music was written by Handel for George II’s coronation and has been used at every coronation since, 10 in total. The lyrics were adapted from the Book of Kings in the bible. It is a British patriotic anthem. How would the Germans, Italians, French or Spanish like it if they stole one of their songs?

The CL words were written by an Englishman, Tony Britten and it was recorded by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and sung by the Academy of St Martin in The Fields.
He reckons it’s not a total rip-off of Handel, (yer what?) I don’t know where the fecker lives, but, treason was a capital offence in the UK when he ‘altered’ it in 1992 (life imprisonment since 1998).

Never ever liked it, never ever will. It’s treason.

God Save The Queen! [emoji6]

That banner just sums up UEFA to a tea. UEFA has now nothing to do with football any more. It is now just about pampering to the clubs like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Manchester UTD, and them thugs at the end of the M62. What ever they want UEFA does. I just hope that this just ends up in court, and we bankrupt the full UEFA board.
 
I can't help but think that football has become a corrupt farce. (Maybe it always was, but in a less obvious way?) The PL and UEFA want the Rags and Scousepool (and their ilk in other countries) to be top dogs because that brings in the most dosh. In their eyes City (and indeed almost all teams) exist purely so these top dogs have someone to play against. We are not supposed/allowed to supplant them. (It's OK if we beat them occasionally, and even win the odd tin cup, but we mustn't get above ourselves.)

If that is the reality, is it worth bothering? The game ends up just like that wrestling shit that used to be on TV. A pathetic, staged event that is not really a competition at all. It's just like the Scottish league writ large. Why waste your time and money on such a charade?

Did you not suss that out whilst united won it every fucking year ? I had that argument with my dad and my brother (rags) every year. They weren't winning it because Ferguson was a managerial genius or the club is in any way special, they won it because it was arranged that way, cynically and deliberately money begetting money.
