Playing Queen's "We are the Champions"

[levets]

I don’t really like all the generic celebration songs that we as a fanbase have no affinity with. What made Sunday’s celebration medley quite bizarre was the playing of a plethora of songs with the word “three” in the lyrics. This criterion then morphed into any songs featuring “free” in the title.

I wish the PA system was turned off at full time and happy fans were left to sing their own songs.

The worst was ‘Three times a Lady’… a song about losing a love. WTF was that played for?

It hasn’t been played at the swamp for ten bloody years!

what- decent football from the home team?

I'm not a fan either but it's a really recognisable song for anyone whether you're an FOC, not from these shores or an 8 year old kid so I get why it's played.

I can't stand the Hey Jude thing though.

There are plenty of song by Manchester bands that could be played so they should probably stick to those.

Hey Jude…
Sung on the Kippax terraces since the late 60s. It’s a staple City chant.

Yes, I'm aware.

Things however move on and tribalism amongst supporters from different areas of the country is probably a far bigger thing than it was in the 60's.

Music is a big part of local identity and the Beatles isn't a great choice in that regard.

I'd much rather hear more from Oasis, Doves, New Order but that's just my opinion.

I do also love a few of the staple City chants like The Marcels Blue Moon or The Boys in Blue. But Hey Jude can do one.

Don’t know about this one but Simply the Best is the one that I can’t stand even before them rag twats grabbed it

I bet you feel a bit of a twat this morning.
Slagging the girl off, and then she cashes in her chips on you.
You'll never get to say "I'm sorry" to her now.
Some mistakes we never stop paying for!

An option is to leave early.
Just sayin.....

As bad as it is no way Queen's best moment, I'd rather hear that than Sweet Bloody Caroline.

Not sure only singing songs based on Manchester bands songs is a great idea, it would mean scrapping just about every song we have. Plus most Manchester bands are pretty shit. :) light touch paper and stand back.

Hermans Hermitts, The Hollies how dare you ;-)

Nope, to be honest I am a bit of a twat most mornings according to my colleagues.

Was it her time of the month?
