Lets finish above Spurs

Fair comment, must admit I don't know when jrod was due back but there is still another 3 months of the transfer window to go isn't there.

 

Thanks, good read.

 

Yes, but I'll be amazed if he plays before October, maybe even later.

 

For Spurs . (Jokes)

 

I didn't realise there was more than one

 

I'm going to guess, as you probably realise I have very little interest in football outside of Saints and where Saints players play, so if I come with the name Defoe, would I be close..? We're not talking about Redknapp are we..?

 

You do realise you guys didn't make the "oh when the Saints" chant, don't you?


Ah well, good luck with finishing above us next season, guys

 

Mostly Redknapp but also Defoe, Crouch, Kaboul, Kranjcar, aka Redknapp the vulture coming to feast of the corpse of Portsmouth and getting players on the cheap

Such was my wrath that I intentionally relegated Tottenham on Football Manager 2009 I think it was.

 

1. You do realise that it has the word "Saints" in it, don't you?

2. You do realise that we are called the "Saints", don't you?

3. You do realise that you're NOT called the "Saints", don't you?

 

PS - And please, please, tell me that it was the Spurs fans who "made" it. That will make my day.

 

Sorry vicious, could you just tell me again what it is called? I didn't quite catch the name of it

 

No, no, no. Don't reply yet, please. Give me a few hours to work out how I edit Wikipedia. You can the google the song and I'll have changed it to read, "originally composed as, 'oh when the Spuds' until some South coast bullies changed it to a meaningless, 'oh when the saints'"

Piece from Mail about MP.

 

Well that finished off suggesting that we might be well shot of him.

 

I didn't say we made the chant, I just said you guys didn't

Also, fans all over the country use the same tunes for chants and change a couple of words. Do you seriously think every chant you have is original?

 

I'm a Wikipedia contributor/editor. What do you want done..?

 

So I guess it's okay for Spurs fans to start singing "You'll Never Walk Alone", or "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles"? It's our anthem, and having you lot blemish it is cringey. Just stick to your "Glory, Glory" song. I never used to hear your fans sing it during the early nineties, and I went to WHL three times and saw all of your games at The Dell, so don't tell me you've been singing it for years.

 

Nah you're alright mush, it's a free country. You sing what you want.

Just try not to get nicked for inciting hatred.

 

That was Virgil Stamps and Luther Presley in the 19th Century. The question isn't originality, it's authenticity. The song is a gospel song. It is appropriate for a team founded as church team and with the nickname Saints. It's not really appropriate for a bunch of North London Yobbos.

 

United and Leeds nicked the "glory, glory" one anyway and we don't bitch and moan about it. YNWA is different because it identifies directly with the memory of Liverpool football fans that died so it would be weird if other fans started signing it without the context. "Oh when the..." gets sung at grounds all around the country, even if you feel you identify with it more(like Glory, Glory).

True. The charges got dropped against the fans who got nicked but that's all still a mess as the MET still threaten us with arrest and warnings even though they know it wouldn't stand up in court.

What's authentic about the way you guys sing it? Glory, glory is taken from a Christian song too but no one seems to have a problem with us North London Yobbos() using it. Football chants come from all sorts of different places, trying to appropriate one that's so widely used is just daft, especially when your only claim to ownership is that your team's nickname is coincidently in one of the lyrics.
