City songs that make no sense

[mancityvstoke]

For more than 30 years we used to sing: "Joe Mercer came, and played the game, we went to Rotherham"

The song always finished: "and when we win the League this year, we'll sing this song to you"

Funny, because we've finished 8 of the last 13 seasons as PL Champions and I've never once heard it.

The old songs have all but died out for awoooooooooo and complicated songs I can't keep up with.

You're going home by fucking ambulance was so much simpler.

Sing something simple ...you simple twats.

I really don't understand the ah woooo bit in I'll follow you everywhere. The actual song uses oh IIIIII and it sounds miles better I don't know how that ever became the version we sing.

Agreed. It's a bit girly for me. A simple change would make it a great chant.

 

[ooh vonky vonky]

Alan Ball was most definitely not a football genius.

Singing about Munich when City legend Frank Swift died in the disaster, and his family are still local Blues.

Heard utd singing the classic on the banks of the river mersey, on Sunday at spurs, while we sing city's going down with a billion in the bank!

Regrettably, I did when I was in my teens and early 20s like a ****.

However, my Father did some work at the house of the granddaughter of Frank Swift, who lives in Manchester. He told me they had a big picture of him in their hallway and he spent time taking to them about Frank.

Made me think, I could be mouthing off like a wanker with a Munich chant and a member of that family could be in the same pub as me.

Never sung anything to do with it since. Plus tragedy chanting* is stupid.


(*might I add that ‘Always The Victims’ is not a tragedy chant!)

Lived in Chorlton after moving from behind Maine Rd and went to same barber as Matt Busby and he always had time for a chat and was a true gent

Also sat next to Albert Scanlons grandson at the Etihad and he used to tell me how bad Albert was treated by the Rags but also the trauma he lived through losing so many of his mates

Above all a Rag is a Rag but death I can’t and won’t celebrate

 

[TShed]

Pardoe and summerbee didn’t go to Mexico

 

[TShed]

Did Denis Tueart walk on water

 

[TShed]

Did every ref who reffed our games at Maine Road not have a father

 

[Betterdeedthan red]

Beckham has never pounded anything, least of all The Stick.

Definitely not anyone who's a female anyway

 

[Barcon]

I would not let Vincent Kompany shag my wife nor do I wish I was Belgian.

 

[ooh vonky vonky]

Unfortunately I don’t recall seeing anyone actually defecating on Lou Macari

 

[TinFoilHat]

Bobby Charlton didn't have a cheeky smile.

I still detest the fact that the club made huge sums of money by marketing it, while those who suffered in it were exploited and treated like shit.

That should never be forgotten.

I fucking loathe that club.

Not a song, ah well, never mind.

Johnny Wark is perhaps not just a Scottish twat. He may be other things as well.

Controversial, fuck Bluemoon off, it’s dull and past its sell by date.

*not this wonderful site.

It’s all the iconography around it that I hate.

The song Blue Moon has nothing to do with the Moon or the colour blue. In astronomy, a Blue Moon also has nowt to do with the colour blue.

The song Blue Moon is about being lonely and then finding love. An astronomical Blue Moon is when you get a second full Moon in a calendar month.

Yet City push a blue Moon as a gimmick for the club. It’s on banners on the pitch, it’s on the big screens, it’s on merchandise, there’s even been Moon print on two of our kits, we’ve got aliens as mascots (what the fuck have aliens got to do with City or Manchester?).

I don’t like it me, the Moon has got fuck all to do with Manchester City Football Club. We are from Manchester on the island of Great Britain on planet Earth.

Fuck the Moon shit off, it annoys me greatly!

And, even though I don’t mind the song, it’s still good to sing when we’re winning late in games; it was Crewe Alexandra’s before we sang it.

Or Frank O’Farrell
