I agree about Blackburn, that was even Premier League era so they are clear.

 

Villa are amongst a clutch of clubs whom I am OK with because their fans are the most insecure about it and are therefore the most triggered by it. See also: Everton, Newcastle, Spurs, Forest. 

 

This is a wind-up at a football match, not the House of Lords.

I'm a bit of a history freak so more ocd about it than most. I even get wound up when people say a famous event was before their time when covering for their ignorance. What next? not knowing when the Battle Of Hastings was

Luckily you're safe there thanks to the sterling work of Hastings Direct Insurance.

Awful, like that "Champions of England, you'll never sing that" muck that gets trotted out against teams like Everton FFS.

 

Always found it weird how people don't pipe up with that chant when we play the likes of West Ham though.

Worst was when Leeds sang their ironic “We are the champions, champions of Europe” and the history boffs in L1 sang “champions of Europe, you weren’t even born”.

 people sang this in front of me at Elland Road last season.

Mind you, it is a stupid thing that Leeds fans do too.

I do agree that this song should only be sung to those clubs that have technically won fewer trophies than Jamie Vardy, but then I’m a pedant. Others could argue whether the issue of factual accuracy is a prerequisite of football chants. 
 

A few examples:

 

I think there would be quite a lot of evidence to refute the claim that we are “… by far the greatest team the world has ever seen”

 

It’s unlikely that Iwan Roberts actually did wear a hat and live in a council flat. 
 

And did the massed ranks of people standing on the terraces really establish, beyond all reasonable doubt, that Victoria Beckham indulged in sodomy with her then boyfriend (now her husband) David?

I feel like the same people would reply with "Brendan Rodgers has won more than you" if you criticised the Northern Irish Guardiola in the ground.

"Jamie Vardy he earns more than you" 

 

"Rebecca Vardy is a blue, is a blue, Rebecca Vardy is a blue, she hates Rooney"

In fairness the chant is “you’ll never sing that” as in you will never sing that - future tense. So it’s a purely speculative chant on the likelihood of them winning the league in future and having the opportunity at that point to sing “champions of England”.

If that's the case, no one can sing it.

We can probably speculate that Man City, Chelsea etc fans will have the chance to sing it from time to time. And that Spurs fans won’t.

Oh, this old chestnut again. If a football chant requires an online annotation like that after it's been sung then it's clearly not quite the hilarious bit of "banter" anyone singing it thinks it is.

 

So it wouldn't be weird if Man United and Liverpool fans started singing it at each other on Sunday then?

Man City are likely to win the Champions League at some point yet still get told they'll never sing it.

My comment was made tongue in cheek.  I'm not sure anyone in their right mind considers it hilarious banter - it's just a chant - and it's better than our fans just sitting there while the away fans sing which seems to be the alternative at the moment.

Hahaha...

 

Let's not sing anything until its been independently fact checked as 100% accurate. 

 

Tbh even if it is accurate, some FT gatekeeper will complain its being sang in the wrong key & 2bpm too fast.

What's a div ?

 

Edited because I've used the Google.

 

Fancy us looking like this ⬇️

 

The <div> tag defines a division or a section in an HTML document. The <div> tag is used as a container for HTML elements - which is then styled with CSS or manipulated with JavaScript. The <div> tag is easily styled by using the class or id attribute.

Yeah, that's about the right level of wit for someone who thinks that chant's decent.

I never said it was a decent chant. 

 

Prior to getting pissy with someone, maybe ask yourself if they actually made the comment ?

 

Ya know, whilst we're being factually correct.

If 20k fans want to sing a completely inaccurate song to wind up some opposition fans,  that's up to them. 

 

If they want to sing the song backwards, that's up to them.

 

If they don't want to sing anything, that's up to them. 

 

We live in democracy not a dictatorship. 

 

I'm just defending the right of the people to free speech.

No argument there. I would prefer us to be be a knowledgeable crowd rather than appearing as simple
