lildave3 Posted 1 June 2007 Posted 1 June 2007 for sporting events please! It's such a dirge, like a bloody funeral song, no wonder we play such crap football after that introduction, miserable looking players matching a miserable song. Well I for one am proud to be English, and that means having the national anthem.
davieG Posted 1 June 2007 Author Posted 1 June 2007 Well for a start it's not English it's the British Anthem and I never said don't have an anthem just not that one. Finally it's about Religion and Royalty not England. And it's fooking dire!

davieG Posted 1 June 2007 Author Posted 1 June 2007 What would you prefer then, Land of Hope and Glory? That'll do but even She'll be coming round the mountain would be more acceptable.
Mort Posted 1 June 2007 Posted 1 June 2007 Would prefer if we sang "Jerusalem" it's a proper english national song... unlike "god save the queen", either way though i think we should be singing "a" national anthem before sporting events (though there are better candidates than GSTQ IMHO).

Swing Low Sweet Chariot?

Yes I didn't mean no anthem as you say not GSTQ.
Sly Posted 1 June 2007 Posted 1 June 2007 I agree, lets sing something a bit more cheerful. Like "Itsey, bitsy, teeny, weeny, yellow poker, dot bikini"
davieG Posted 1 June 2007 Author Posted 1 June 2007 I agree, lets sing something a bit more cheerful. Like "Itsey, bitsy, teeny, weeny, yellow poker, dot bikini" That sounds a bit Brazilian.
Sly Posted 1 June 2007 Posted 1 June 2007 That sounds a bit Brazilian. Maybe we'd play Brazilian football then.
Alexikokopops Posted 1 June 2007 Posted 1 June 2007 Wheres you patriotism? Are you seriously suggesting that people can't be proud of England if they don't like a song? A song that's the National Anthem of England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, New Zealand, Australia? And the royal song of Norway? You're an idiot.
Nationwider Posted 1 June 2007 Posted 1 June 2007 I just don't see the point in singing the national anthem full stop. It's just a load of bollocks to me. I appreciate I'm in the minority on this though.

Change it to She'll (the Queen that is) be coming round the mountain then when it's been ridiculed to death we can do away with one all together, just in time for Charles/William.

It's just a load of bollocks to me.I appreciate I'm in the minority on this though. I couldn't care either way. t'is a bit funny though, that our sporting teams sing the national anthem that's the national anthem for several other (competing) nations.

Sorry, dG. I'm grumpy tonight as the TV has been hijacked for non-sporting purposes. I heard a rumour Charles wanted the anthem changing to "Ding-Dong The Witch Is Dead" after Ma'am passes on.

Simi Posted 1 June 2007 Posted 1 June 2007 When the National Anthem's were played today I thought how unusual ours is. You had Brazil bouncing and dancing around to theirs, which lasted a long while. And then there was ours, which doesn't last anywhere near the time Brazils does and is quite boring.
Daggers Posted 1 June 2007 Posted 1 June 2007 Bin it - and replace it with something that sums up England, English football and everything... The theme music from Benny Hill.
Raj Posted 2 June 2007 Posted 2 June 2007 Bin it - and replace it with something that sums up England, English football and everything...The theme music from Benny Hill. Or the theme to Eastenders!!!!
Daggers Posted 2 June 2007 Posted 2 June 2007 If we're having maudlin then lets just have Coronation Street
