Old songs

As a FOC I remember the first song I heard on the Kippax.

The blues are here to stay - that's what the people say
We are the best football team the world has ever seen
We're from the Kippax Street - and we admire defeat, but when it comes to the boys who play in blue and white
tra la la la la la la la la la la la la.
I think we also sung it when at Wembley in 69
I was right behind the goals when Nelly scored.
Best day of my life then.
Want a repeat beating Leicester in the final and also revenge on
those perennial losers Tosseringham.

Edited for accuracy.
 
One season at Anfield, their first home game of the season after winning the double the previous season (I think the press may have gone on about it a bit!?)
Liverpool paraded the FA Cup and League trophy in the centre circle.
The City fans on seeing this burst into a chorus of 'What the fucking hell is that'. (Could have referred to either or both trophies really)
Although it was true that in 1986 we weren't used to seeing such things it was still good, ironic, self depreciating sense of humour from the City fans there. Funnily enough ,there would have been many times down the years Liverpool fans could have sung the very same song...very much doubt that they would have let their pride and sense if self entitlement do it though.
 
Come to think of it, our other 'mates' who play in red could have sang that song about the (then) 1st Division trophy at that time....as indeed , come to think of it, they could now about the Premier League trophy!!!

I was watching the Posh v Mackems game over the weekend and one of the players had a shot that ended up hitting the roof of the stand.

We used to sing 'Subbuteo' at away games whenever that happened. Found myself singing it the other day. Wife thought I had lost it.

Niall Quinn’s disco pants are the best.

We could change this to the Bluetooth conspiracy song:

Gundogan is teacher’s pet,
He’s first on the team sheet I’ll bet,
We haven’t found a reason yet,
But gundogan is teacher’s pet

Bet you feel a right twat now
 
This one just popped into my head, from the 60's....

We hate Bill Shankley and we hate St John
But worse of all we hate big Ron
And we'll fight the koppites one by one
And throw them in the Sky Blue Mersey.


I suspect it could have originally been an Everton song.
 
From 1934, watch the video which Gary James has put on the site, amazing, 1,000,000 home coming. First recording of City fans singing.

Who said City couldn't play,
City couldn't play,
City couldn't play,
Who said city Couldn't play
City couldn't play football.

Probably our most original and historic song.
 
Country road take them home
To the places they belong
back to essex kent and surrey
country road take em home.
