“Follow you everywhere” chant

[Ric]

Seriously. It’s just a song. Young lads go to football and want a laugh and a sing song. We have enough people moaning that we have no atmosphere and then when we do sing for 20 minutes it’s still not good enough.

Football is a release for many especially at the moment. If fans want to have a sing then crack on. I enjoyed it and went all in yesterday. I’m 41, not into fleetwood Mac and certainly not into drugs but I had a good time and I enjoyed the singing.

Well said. Sounded like a great away end on Saturday, well done to those that went and kept it going.

Best football chants are funny and noisy. Ticks both boxes for me. Definitely those who moan about snowflakes who don’t like the references to drugs as well. Pearl clutching.

Here’s another Classic


Time time time,

See whats become of KdB,

As he looks around, for the possibilities,

Pep is so hard to please….

Don’t look around , Erlings found…

And the goals are a hazy shade of City.

What a terrific chant; is that to hazy shade of winter by Simon and Garfunkel and covered by the Bangles?

Brilliant, made me smile after a shit weekend.

For old farts like me:

Can you hear me calling, out your name.
We’re man city and we’re on the piss again
Somethings happening, happening to me
Spent all my money on beer and city

I`ll follow you everywhere

I’d rather have those lyrics than the drugs and City, thanks, I’ll teach these to my family

Especially given that the top end of the Kippax near the away fans often smelled like Bob Marley’s ashtray in the 80s/90s

Oh I don't know.
Have the Ivor Novello committee been on?

Ah, but did Ivor Novello track back?

 

[iwasthere1968]

Haha that's pretty good for an ai.
I mean it's more of a song than a chant but it's not bad.


Anyone know why we go
Aahhwooooooooo
Rather than
Oohhhaaaaaaah
Like the original?

We don't live in the West Country and drive tractors

I can’t understand the miserable twats on this thread about such a good unique city song tbh , the people on here need to get a grip , i suppose singing “super city “ or “stand up for the champions” is there idea of a good sing song ? And for the odd few saying drugs shouldn’t be mentioned in a song , have they forgot “we are city , we’re barmy we’re off our fucking heads?” That was a Kippax standing regular song from the early 90’s? That was “drug” oriented. Anyone who stood on the Kippax as a late teenager/ early twenty something knew what it was all about through the manchester scene at the time. We’ve got some right miserable twats amongst our support , proper proper woke shit , getting upset about a wahooooo part of the song.It’s fucking brilliant , maybe take up chess or go and watch rugby if you don’t like it . Keep it up blues , especially the younger generation who think that “super city from Maine Road” is a load of shite. And I’m 54 , seen and heard all city songs.

Maybe stand up if you love city is your thing , it’s the type of shite that’s sung at primary school assembly.

Skin up at half time when everyone went for a piss

 

[RiversideBlue]

Most of the oldies complaining about drug references from our younger fans probably sang along happily to "town full of munichs", etc in their younger days. Stop fucking moaning.

[threespires]

Maybe the FOCs could sing 'on viagra and City' ?

 

[flb]

Perhaps we should turn the whole ground apart from the south stand into a none swearing , non rude word , non drinking type football monastery? They could all have prayer books , wear a habit maybe , and just drink lemonade ? Swearing and semi offensive chants have always been in every English ground for decades. If these woke , easily offended herberts don’t like it I’d suggest football isn’t for them? Maybe wear earplugs , just in case little Johnny or Tabatha hear words that gives them nightmares, woke gone mad. “ can I lick the bowl dad ? No you can flush it like everyone else”.

fucking dreadful ahhhwooooooo, fucking hell

And probably still listen to the Mondays and all the other other bands who sing about drugs
Tbf I think it was only one puritan moaning

 

[Zabbasbeard]

Absolutely loved it, and no, I'm not into drugs. Made me laugh.

 

[LongsightM13]

His vlog was actually decent and pretty fair for an opposition fan tbf

No idea when or why it changed. I’m adamant that it was originally ‘oh ayyyyyy’ that was sung and it wasn’t as high pitched.

But this has been one of my favourite City chants for years so I’m really glad it’s finally getting going in the stands. Only taken about eight years, mind.

I’d definitely start the normal pitched ‘oh ayyy’ or even ‘Ciiityyy’ the ‘awooo’ sounds terrible.

 

[Lavinda Past]

I'm not a bloody puritan!

I just don’t see why City related football songs all seem to need references to drink and drugs nowadays. It's about football.

BTW... I think the Mondays were shite
