Just so I can keep up to date with what's acceptable and not embarassing, why is a tribute song to our beloved late chairman crap?

Guest MattP Posted 8 August 2019 Posted 8 August 2019 The opening poster had it spot on, a fan base that idolised Sven and Holloway but was often vocally critical of Pearson and MON. We must have more than our fair share of morons. Now we've got a fanbase whose expectations are totally out of control for the coming season and I can see that turning ridiculous - we'll be sat in seventh or something and they'll be calling for Rodgers head for not challenging for top four when are barely making a net spend in the transfer window.

Most clubs now sing a version of "...had a dream" and did before our version appeared. Therefore it's not unique, and leads to situations like Wolves away last season where a song that ought to genuinely mean something to us is being outsung by 30k Yam Yams singing their own version about a Portuguese man signing players at 30 times the volume. 2. The lyrics are shit in the second half of the song. "We play from the back, the counter attack". It means fvck all. Just because something rhymes doesn't mean it's good. 3. After the initial gusto, it's now sung very half-heartedly most of the time. A fitting tribute? Absolutely not.

As an obvious lyricist and chant connoiseur , I truly look forward to your suggestions on acceptable, less embarrasing songs in the new chant thread.

Who gives a shit if other clubs sing the same tune? The desire to be unique often results in miserable, half arsed chants sung to tunes nobody knows.

Hardly makes for a decent tribute if any time you sing it the oppo start belting out their version louder though does it?

Wait for Sunday when Wolves fans start singing it, they'll be drowned out instantly.

Because the words are shit, it sounds dreadful, and he very possibly deserved an original as opposed to a generic badly adapted hackneyed version of the inevitable Sloop John B which let's also remember has been used from everything from Nuno's Portuguese renaissance to Jason Puncheon going for a shit. Merely my opinion though.

Merely my opinion though. Kevin Russel may have had issues with his baldness though? I'm pretty sure Iwan didn't wear a Welshmans hat or live in a council flat next to Joachim, nor did a certain Spaniard buy a property on the Saffron Lane. Wes certainly doesn't hate Forest and our beloved football club, despite how much we love them, aren't the greatest the world has ever seen. I could go on and on but I'm sure you get the point, imo some pf the prissy ultra long 'modern' songs are far too complicated and unsupported to catch on. I feel simplicity and humour are key with good football chants but ala my reply to Vol I really look forward to seeing your lyrical, trendy and unique compositions.

CosbehFox Posted 8 August 2019 Posted 8 August 2019 Can’t wait to hear reports of scrubbers going around the away end at the end of the Chelsea game collecting up those caps no one wants

And pointedly, I also noticed that when Andy King, bless him, get's the ball he doesn't necessarily score a goal; that Andrej Kramarić was anything but a "wizard on the pitch" and that Leonardo Ulloa didn't actually cost a ****ing fortune in relative terms. Arguably, Cambiasso wasn't actually magic - or Carrick come to that - just a bloody good experienced football player in the twilight of his career who was a complete blessing to us and transpired to be a very astute free acquisition that year. Of course football chants are crass and kitsch but also catchy, particularly when they are original. If you are content with a crap generic knock off/derivation of Nuno's dream as an afterthought - with shitter lyrics as an obligatory terrace tribute to our diseased chairman every Saturday, then who am I to question you? As I said to Finnegan on another thread, who touched on some excellent points about football snobbery, it's only a chant; but I'd maintain Vichai warranted bespoke and better. That's all.

Some of the comments I read is just embarrassing and it now looks like they're trying to start a rivalry off with man utd. Why can't our fans just thank a player when they move and move on? Bear a thought for Arsenal fans. AFTV – as it's now "rebranded" – has 1 million followers on youtube. Most of whom, I'd guess, are only there for light entertainment and to laugh at the absolute state of them all.

You amplified my point wonderfully and yes they are crass and often that's the appeal, I actually like the banter /taunting chants aimed at opposition players and fans, like say Rooneys 'fat granny shagger' I love the fact you want better for Vichai even though you called him diseased Get your creative juices flowing and pen that masterpiece for Vichai and I will belt it out in honour of our beloved late chairman.
