Please ask them to stop because they're upsetting the sensitive souls on Bluemoon.

Needs stopping.
1) People are misguidedly thinking it's mocking the Paris attacks (it's not)
2) It's not a particularly supportive chant either
3) It's hardly a solemnly felt chant when it's sang by pissed up morons. And if they need to be tanked up because they are on a long away trip, they should go down their local and not bother turning up to support us. We don't need pissed up supporters.
4) It's classless, tasteless, and embarrassing.

I know the people who created the song and the people singing the song. They're all decent lads. They're not the type of people some on here are claiming them to be purely based on them singing one song. They don't go out looking for trouble or anything like that, they go home and away every game and simply enjoy a good piss up and like to sing songs. When you're sat on a coach pissed up for 6 hours, some ill-advised songs are often created. Usually they stay on the coach but on occasions they'll get an outing at the match and then generally tail off when they sober up and realise it's not that great. This is nothing new and there's certainly been a lot worse songs in the past. The outrage on here is way over the top, labelling blues as brain dead, pond life and scum amongst other things is more offensive than the actual song imo. Are some people really calling for banning orders because of what is basically just an insensitive song that mocks a dead ISIS member?
If people don't like it, don't sing it and it will die out, Or better still, if you really feel that strongly about it, sing over them and drown it out.
I suppose we have to have something to moan about, seeing as for the first time this season we can have no complaints on the pitch.
Well if they go home and away on the piss for 6 hours that explains it, carry on

Surely no-one thinks it's mocking the Paris attacks?

It was mentioned on the radio that City fans were chanting about the attacks. That leaves the general public assuming the worst. And if anybody tries to clarify it, it doesn't really read much better! That's the trouble with the way things get reported. 'Paris Attacks' 'Jihadi John' and football supporters - put those three phrases in the same sentence and the general public will do the rest.

So pissed they have the timeline all wrong, the Paris attacks occured after jihadjohn was bombed!!

I thought someone said earlier in the thread that the West Ham supporters started it?I know the people who created the song and the people singing the song.

My main issue with it is that it's a West Ham song with right-wing associations, and fuck all to do with Manchester City.

We are in the main a working class fan base and by that I mean we have large sections of dead heads, just because the guy next to you is a blue doesn't mean they aren't pond Life, if you want to see the best and worst of humanity go to a football match
what a load of shit. how do you even know what back ground these people who were singing it came from ? I'm working class does that make me and most other city fans dead heads. i think the chants shit btw.
