Jihadi John Song

[hilts]

i wasn't around but going off stories on here and such seems like there were may more knob heads in the 70s and 80s

I started in the 70's and 80's and can confirm this wasn't the case we never discussed politics, race or the Middle East, we just punched each other til our fila trackies were blood red

Well if they go home and away on the piss for 6 hours that explains it, carry on

They'll be delighted they now have your blessing.

I thought someone said earlier in the thread that the West Ham supporters started it?

The last line "jihadi John is fucking dead, he had a bomb dropped on his head" was made up by West ham fans, the rest of it was made up by City fans at Arsenal, the West Ham bit was added to the end of the song later on.

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.

My above response probably covers that for you. The song originated separately from the west Ham song,

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.

I am also working class what is your point?

Not as bad as the Munich chants in the Upper Bullens concourse on Wednesday. I thought no-one did that any more.

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.

Oh no! Not the general public!

I won't be singing it because it's a bit of a shit song isn't it - I won't be getting offended by it either. Football fans aren't the greatest lyricists in the main tbf.

Your mates will have to give the West Ham supporters a songwriting credit when their album comes out.

Kids trying to be provocative innit.

Hope the Sheikh isn't hearing this cretinous nonsense..

You really need to expand on this...

Oh no! Not the general public!

It reflects on our club, and our supporters. Even if it's misrepresented, the damage is done.
The general public are precisely the people our sponsors want to impress, and for that matter most City fans would probably like to be thought of in a good light too.

I don't think believe for a moment that the intentions were bad, but I do think it's ill-advised and not particularly flattering to the club or our fans (as a whole). It is what it is - the product of pissed up youths and probably needs flushing away as quickly as possible.
