Great song, I know you probably didn’t write it, but he’s not actually won “the cup” so it could do with a tweakFrom listening to it, I think it is:
Ruben dias
Number 3
He left Benfica to join city
He won the cup
He won the league
He hates united
And he loves city
It will get going, no one will join in and the usual excuses will get rolled out. Just open your mouths people!!It comes from our pissed up/coked up/beer chucking (delete as appropriate) concourse singers everyone seems to have so much hate for.
Missed my first away game of the season today, heard the Dias song gain some traction for the first time at Villa.
It's down to the home support to take up the song next week now. Hopefully another good away chant doesn't die a death at our place.
He won the league cup last season didnt he?Great song, I know you probably didn’t write it, but he’s not actually won “the cup” so it could do with a tweak

Yeh, so he’s won “a cup”.He won the league cup last season didnt he?
To win “the cup” is winning the FA Cup, always has been.
The league cup has always still been described as ‘winning the cup’.Yeh, so he’s won “a cup”.

Absolutely not - it’s been described as “winning the league cup” or “winning a cup”The league cup has always still been described as ‘winning the cup’.
But winning “the cup” has always been the FA Cup
We can go round in circles again and again here but ultimately it’s a small irrelevant point about a terrace song.Absolutely not - it’s been described as “winning the league cup” or “winning a cup”

Winning the league cup in 1976 was something I clung to for 30 odd years...It's a cup to me.Absolutely not - it’s been described as “winning the league cup” or “winning a cup”

as long as we start singing about current players.
How many times we have to hear Dzeko chant, yet he was constantly slated by many.

Oh it's definitely a cup.Winning the league cup in 1976 was something I clung to for 30 odd years...It's a cup to me.
But it's not "The Cup"
You said it yourself - "winning the league cup in 1976"
You wouldn't say "winning the cup in 1976" because "the cup" is the FA Cup.

Its a daft football song lads ffs
Just sing "He's won a cup " if you're so strung up about it.
Why so serious?
In the 80's we sang "we're by far the greatest team the world has ever seen".....we weren't
"Bring on the champions"....when we weren't.
The list is endless........

You are correct in what you say but I think you’re overly concerned with what is in this context a minor and rather irrelevant detailOh it's definitely a cup.

Does that make you a pedant or the pedant ?

it’s no wonder we don’t have much of an atmosphere for home games when Blues are splitting hairs about semantics.

I said it's a good song, won "a cup" is absolutely fine
"Won the cup" is just a bit odd, because he hasn't
To be honest mate I'm starting to question whether this invisible man actually exists or notIts a daft football song lads ffs

We’ve got 2 decent games coming up, 1 against Wolves who will bring a decent away support, and a night match against Leeds, who will fill the away end and create a lot of noise. Don’t be surprised if it kicks off with Leeds, if the trouble with United is anything to go off.
