1934 Cup Winners Homecoming

I think that's the one but have no sound on my pc.

When it pans across the women can you hear them singing the song discussed in the Old Songs thread? "They say City Couldn't play" or something?

To the tune of 'what a rotten song'... 'What a rotten war'

They said City couldn't play, City couldn't play, City couldn't play,
They said City couldn't play, City couldn't play foot ball...

Brilliant posts. I'll be sure to share these with the non believers across town.

That's a great film. I've seen the other stuff on the 34 homecoming but I'd not seen this one before. That's the earliest footage of City fans singing as far as I'm aware.

Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

They said City couldn't play, City couldn't play, City couldn't play,
They said City couldn't play, City couldn't play at all...

Doesn't it say "They say, City couldn't play, City couldn't play football"?

That's my memory of it (not from being there but from the footage!)

I reckon the next line would have been "Now we've won the FA cup, and Man United won fuck all"!

I think it was "Who said City couldn't play..."

Great finds, I liked "biggest crowd ever seen in Manchester".
