The argument isn't about should you be able to sing it if you want to or the meaning of the word and its context. We all know this.
God knows I've sang alot worse about peoples teeth hair heads and so on when we really could sing what we wanted and their was no medja scrutiny and I knew no better.
We are in a different place now and, like it or not, all the munchkin singers will do is give the press a stick to beat City with....as if they need anything else.
That's what this is about now. Bowing to outside pressure doesn't come naturally to us, but on this one I think we all have to for the good of the club and the club ambassadors have already asked. Yes it sucks that football is being homogenised but this is hardly new and probably we escaped the effects of it for a long time during our journey into the depths and back so all this scrutiny is something we just have to get used to.
What City fans would have done in the past would have been to sing something else instead which takes the piss out of the whole episode in a humorous way and which still insults our neighbours in a way that irritates them immensely.
Hopefully we have not lost that spirit.
