Why would anyone want us to sing the scousers song? Please don't tell me to try and wind up united,that's as small time as the likes of Stoke singing 'you're just a shit Man Utd'.

Surprised people are wanting us to ditch Blue Moon, not like we have a wealth of singers and songs, should be trying to encourage singing rather than moaning about a song which is seen as our anthem.

The fact we have an anthem is cheesy enough. The fact it's a crap song is even worse.

I used to like it, then didn't mind it, now I'm fucking bored of it. I think it's all the gimmicks that the club keep throwing out that's done it for me. It's as if the Moon is a more important aspect of the club than Manchester. It's actually weird!

If it was just left as a fans' chant and nowt more it'd be fine. Get the Manchester skyline printed on the kits instead, just don't make the fucking Moon the central theme of the club and it'd be fine. We're the Citizens of Manchester not some club pining to build a stadium on the fucking Moon like the club portray.

Blue Suede Shoes? It could work:
Well it's one for the goalie,
Two for right back
Three for Pellegrini and he's getting the sack
But don't you, step on Pep's Blue Suede Shoes
You can't do anything but don't step on Pep's Blue Suede Shoes

I like it. You have a talent :)

Anyone in the Madrid stadium listening to the 'Three Tenors' style rendition of 'Alla Madrid' last night just before the players entered the pitch thought it left our song Blue Moon standing? We need to create a similar atmosphere at the Etihad. Do we need to come up with a same kind of pre-match atmosphere building? We've joined the cream of Europe now with getting to the Semi-final. Surely someone at City has the ability to build up something!

You are dreaming. It won't happen here, not in the next ten years. You will have to wait for a new generation of fans to come up
 
Hell no we shouldn't! I love the song

Personally I just hope we would A) sing more verses of the song as the song is actually really nice. and B) play that kind of version at the stadium you could easily sing along witg
 
Blue Moon is crap?
Sure the club's recent remix is pure dog turd. But Blue Moon itself? really?
Give you heads a collective Wobble.

So, just summing up the forum at the moment:

Joe Hart has been fantastic in Europe but his distribution is shit, so get rid.

Caballero isn't up to it. So get rid.

Zaba has been fantastic, but he's now past it, so get rid.

VK is fantastic but he is so injury prone he is now a liability, so get rid.

Sagna, Kolarov, Otamendi, Mangala and Demichelis are all too old or not up to Pep's standard or both, so get rid.

Fernandinho is not up to playing CDM in a Pep team. He may do a job at centre back, otherwise get rid.

Fernando Delph and Navas are not up to Pep's standard, so get rid.

Yaya is a legend but can't be arsed any more and is too old, plus Pep doesn't like him. So get rid.

Silva is a legend but is now too old and injury prone and won't do what Pep wants, so get rid.

Sterling was a waste of money, and hasn't lived up to his potential, nor will he in a Pep squad. So get rid.

Bony is just useless. So get rid.

Sergio is a legend, but is too injury prone and has lost his explosive pace which apparently was his only attribute. So get rid.

Finally, Blue Moon is cheese so get rid.

Kevin De Bruyne and nacho look like they will be playing on their own in a very quiet stadium next year...

Brilliant summary
 
Seriously think we should consider having our own version of the boys in blue!! Oldham don't even use it anymore apparently fink it would suit us to a tee!!

Remember Wonderwall in the nineties? Was far better than bluemoon.

Some folk act like we've been singing bluemoon for 50 years. It only became attached to us under Kendall.

Would much rather see something from Oasis picked up in the stands. Something more defiant and less whimpery than bluemoon tbh.

Definitely something from the smiths or oasis.
As mentioned before Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now would be a good fit, maybe The Masterplan by oasis would be good as well
 
3/4 Iines is enough for the average fan I'm afraid especially where alcohol is involved.
Uwe's grandad, Tevez song, even My Father get mumbled inparts.

There's little reason to change Bluemoon when the whole stadium belts it out it's awesome. The problem is more the number singing which makes it sound iffy sometimes.

Other teams fans sing 'We've only got one song' just like WWYWYWS it bothers them as its something in our history we have that they'd like.

Balls to the club 'moon' cheese like 99% of the cheese it's not aimed at me, but if the song changed make no mistake the cheese would follow tenfold.
 
Bluemoon is a depressing dirge with half the people giving half arsed attempts at being understood. Mostly it becomes ineligible with half cut, half souped up morons throwing their inane drivel at it, turning it into a cocophony of white noise.

The song in the stadium is pretty decent though and should be kept. Arf!! :)

Sent from my high horse using sarcasm.

Brilliant post.

These are the players that have won a trophy and got us further in Europe's elite competition than any other time in our history!!

Thank God these clowns in our support have zero decision making authority. On this basis Pellegrini has worked miracles.

That's not to say that the squad can't be improved by the way of course it can, but we have the basis of a title winning squad.

Yes, I am dreaming. Dreaming of becoming a club as great as Real Madrid. Why can't it happen here in the next ten years? If we have to wait for the next generation of fans to come up will we ever become the bigger than we are now.!!!!!
 
Bluemoon is a good anthem - it is defiant in it's message and for those of us who were there when it started "standing alone without a dream in my heart" was exactly how we felt in those dark days.
What I will say, is that it fizzles out too quickly because there is really only one verse. If we could come up with another verse then it would be much better.
