Its time to play the music
Its time to light the lights
Its time to meet the muppets
On the muppet show tonight

No we dont. I personally find it cringey that Arsenal now have one. Looks like they are trying to copy Liverpool

Both “songs” are horrendous dirges, awful, boring garbage that sound even worse somehow when a load of fat old fellas and screeching women start spitting and slurring them out all over each other.

We already have anthem, Johnny Todd, it has a maritime Liverpool connection and is the tune the vast majority of Football fans associate with us.

You’d hope anyone with a brain at the club would be looking into all aspects of crowd engagement to see what works and what doesn’t to promote atmosphere. The fact that most clubs just come up with goal music, plastic flags, flashing signs on the advertising hoardes, suggest that it’s either an area overlooked by most clubs, or it’s something organic you can’t really affect.

No is the short answer. Wish people would stop pushing There she goes aswell, nobody knows the words, you get people singing along with the first line and then it just dies out completely. I guess thats why they call it the blues has much more potential for people singing along (and at least sounds vaguely linked to what's happening).

We could tick all the boxes, play the Ukrainian national anthem while drag queens abseil down from the roof on to a pride flag coloured pitch and they’d still ignore us. The bias isn’t going away, we shouldn’t pander to the media scum

Ive read this about 20 times so far, and it gets funnier each time hahaa

Amazing Talk Sport reckoned it was the Celtic fans who first sang YNWA ala related by Alan Brazil - from the film Carousel - Gerry Marsden covered it & the Kop adopted it - ridiculous song who the hell wants to walk alone ?

The only anthem we had was We shall not be moved taken from the hit single by the Seekers back in the mid 1960s { but at that time we did well in FA Cups etc } not much use now when we exit the FA CUP early most rounds It was blasted out & the Gwladys Street chanted it in full volume 10 minutes before kick off every game ...

Talking of which I notice on most big teams 25 minutes before kick off the grounds are sparse with fans - before ticketed seats thewy were almost full 30 minutes before kick off - with rival fans on terraces - chanting their songs at each other - fans paying on the day arrived early to get their usual spec on the terraces every game .. seating has ended all that .... so IMO an anthem is not now a necessity in todays game ....

Plus our home performances at the HD stadia have been poor to say the least ....

SF against United back in 2009 - I couldn't watch the penalty shoot out with nerves; went out with a radio and when I heard that being sung I knew we'd won.

A.M., F.M. I feel so ecstatic now
It's music I've found, and I'm wired for sound

Now that's done with.

Can we have 'Golden Brown' by the stranglers, but sung really ironic like? See if they get the joke and actually play the game in a none comatose manner?

How much is that right back in the window?
The one with the overlap run.

This is the winner.
What’s more i suggest we get either (or both) Wyness / DBB back to march around the pitch in a Big Daddy style Union Jack leotard and top hat.
If that doesn’t get the crowd going I don’t know what will.

 

[Rita_Poon]

No no
No no, no no
No no, no no
No no, there's no fullbacks!

I've always thought we could do with an Everton counter-part to this feller who was at Liverpool for years....but calling ours 'Dr FFS'.
