The Bernardo Silva Chant Has Been Ruined

[Thomas Hearns]

The bobby charlton line has taken over.

 

[Stevieatlasblue]

The “Bobby Charlton...” line could be clearly heard on the tele tonight.

Disappointing!

Not good and in bad taste.

 

[BillCarlisle]

I wouldn't expect that Bernardo would be at all happy having his song changed to THAT line about Bobby Charlton Those who sing it seriously need to take a hard look at themselves. It's indecent & embarrassing.
Get it changed, and for Sunday.

All around me they were singing it yesterday

I was in a City pub in London and people sung it. It’s taken off now so I don’t think there is any going back.

I not sure why I'm so annoyed but I really am. It’s disgusting to make ‘jokes’ about paedophilia against an old man. A man who played for Utd (what a crime) but by any objective standard is one of England’s greatest ever players.

Spoiled a great song and one we could have sung for years to come. I don’t want to go hyperbole and I’m not often ashamed of our fan base but by this song I am.

 

[Man_City_Loyal]

When i first heard it, I laughed more in shock.

Now its just getting silly.

 

[Robanompivenov]

We're better than this infantile last line of what is a great chant.

 

[Silva's Magic Boot]

Absolutely ruined it, has zero connection to Bernardo. Utter morons

The song needs changing I agree!! But fuck Bobby charlton:)

I was at the game, seemed 50 50 round me singing the wrong version and going on the piss.

I suppose being at the swamp some wanted to make digs so it hyped it up.

I really do hope that's the end of it now and we carry on this great song for a wonderful player with the "on the piss" version. It isn't clever at all to involve the club in such bad taste because that's what it will come to and do we really want to tarnish the club we love with a bad name ? We are trying to stamp out the crap that comes out at football stadiums, chanting like this is every way, its time to drop it now.
