But nobody knows it. I go to every home game and a handful of aways and I can’t say I’ve ever been aware of it. We need to use more tried n tested generic songs ie “there’s only one Phil Foden” that everyone can join in with.There's already a Foden song?
Guardiola do you know what he's worth,
Phil Foden is the best on earth,
He comes from Stockport and he plays in sky blue,
He loves City and he hates Man U
With respect, there’s only one Phil Foden is a bit shit for a generational talent.But nobody knows it. I go to every home game and a handful of aways and I can’t say I’ve ever been aware of it.

The debate on here recently regarding the unfit for purpose Zinchenko song laid bare the problems. People were suggesting sort of online tutorials where you could “learn” the song on YouTube ffs. As an alternative one guy suggested singing “Zin - Chen - Ko” to the tune of “Here We Go” - simple yet stunningly effective because everybody knows the words.
Agreed but artistic merit isn’t the aim here. The only point of singing a song about a player is to let that player know how much he’s appreciated. 50k people singing a dull stale old song that booms around the stadium cos everyone knows it is immeasurably better for morale and atmosphere than a few hundred lads singing a song that nobody else picks up on because they don’t know itWith respect, there’s only one Phil Foden is a bit shit for a generational talent.

Cheers. It's enjoyable seeing Liverpool and MU fans still - a decade on from "Agueerrooo" - failing so badly to deal with City being such serious contenders.I think most match-going fans would recognise that Newcastle (like City) have had good attendances for most of their history. The only dip was in the 80s when crowds collapsed everywhere for well documented reasons (hooliganism, Heysel disgrace, economic collapse, etc etc). I was at St James Park for Paul Gascoigne's debut v QPR when the crowd was about 20,000 but in that era attendances were lower at every club. Best of luck for next season. I would love Newcastle to disrupt the cartel clubs even more.
