We have had quite a few horrible ones about the Munich Air Disaster over the years but I think the "dig up Matt Busby" one makes me cringe the most. I was appalled when I heard a few of our younger fans singing it in the concourse at West Brom last season and looking quite proud about it too.

It's quite unbelievable that any person would utter this sick rubbish, especially when it's about a distinguished ex-City player !

Let's be honest. Some (but by no means all) of our younger fans would not know the club's history to that extent, and the lack of hatred between the fans that existed before the GPC arrived at Old Toilet. Yes, there was rivalry, with blues "hating" reds, and vice versa, but nothing like it is today.

By some strange coincidence, this is borne out in Gary James' excellent book "Manchester, the City Years". I am currently up to the 1973/74 season, a time I remember well.

From memory, didn't Joe Mercer and Matt Busby live next door to each other, or do I need some more medication?

Think your memories playing up a bit with regards to the hatred thing especially in the 70's and 80's. For the record both Mercer and Busby lived in Chorlton. Mercer on St Werburghs Road and Busby on Kings Road, about quarter of a mile apart.

That's not my experience. There was aggro a-plenty, especially (but not exclusively) in the Kippax on a derby day.

All football songs are shite and are unlikely to win an Grammy or Brit award or will please the entire fan base imho.
 
Re: What is the most horrible, most embarrassing football so

Not sure about embarrassing, but for sheer horrible-ness, that slow drawn out version of ''When the Spurs go marching in'' is pretty high up the list. Having nabbed a seat in 212 on saturday, I had the misfortune to hear it and watch it being sung at close quarters. ''Jesus H Christ'', as Quint said in Jaws.
 
Re: What is the most horrible, most embarrassing football so

The worst song is sung to you lot "where were you when you were shit", coz you daft buggers are as nuts as us....and you were and always will be there.
 
Re: What is the most horrible, most embarrassing football so

The scum chants aside.. for me the most embarrassing football song is Chelsea, just saying "Chelsea.... chelsea.... chelsea.... chelsea...". Over and over. It's just awful.

'You'll never beat the Irish'
Embarrassing shite probably created by plastic rags and dippers on a spare weekend away from their armchairs

Re: What is the most horrible, most embarrassing football so

Any about the rags that gets sung when we're not playing them.

We lost last week

Billion in the bank

and worst of all '.....harder then Japp Stam' - ffs why big that twat up in a City song?


Most annoying away fans song is the toon armys 'empty seats' song that they belt out when we've got about 30 in the whole place!

And 'where wereyou when you were shit' song is very, very boring now.

Did shout ' watching David White bang four past you' at Villa a couple of weeks ago, but I don't think they heard me.

Told you my memory was suspect. I'll have to up the dosage to 2 glasses of Calvados per night. Pity I can't get it on prescription.

As for the hatred thing, in the 60s and 70s, sure there was trouble a'plenty on the Kippax on derby day, but I knew many rag fans who were quite affable outside the derby matches, and was a big mate of one of their hard cases in Ashton. His mates all knew I was a blue, and I was never troubled. Obviously, I can only talk about my situation, but that's how it was then. As for the 80s, I was married with kids, so lived a sheltered life, and the decade passed me by. In those (bygone) days, you never got gangs of thugs attacking women and kids - it just wasn't done.

The Joe Hart one doing the rounds at the moment takes some beating for me. Woeful.
 
Re: What is the most horrible, most embarrassing football so

The rags, Don't go out tonight unless your red and white. When it sounds like they are saying "yasiiiiid there's trouble on the way". I had to speak to one of them to find out it was "I see there's trouble on the way"

Yep the worst song I've ever heard us sing. For me, chelsea havent got one good song. If they had a couple of decent songs to compliment 'chelsea, chelsea, chelsea' then fair enough but they're all just as wank as that awful excuse of a song.

Mauled by the Tigers is that bad it's funny. I'm not sure if they attend on making other supporters laugh, but with me living just across the river in grimsby I know theyre not the brightest bunch of supporters in the land. Looks like a bunch kids in infants school during lunch time.

I used to quite like the one man went to mow....etc... song, sung loads in the 80's. Have they stopped it now?
