OFF TOPIC

Saw this on soccernet and thought I would share. Brilliant stuff!



There once was a team - so hard to defeat
Such a talented team - and boy could they cheat

They made football seem like it was played up in heaven
But 11 v 10 - not eleven - eleven

It would seem so unfair - perhaps an offence
Perhaps its just luck - or coincidence

So a tactic was launched and Pepe stood proud
Whats this - stop our barca - no way - not allowed

Surely you know that they all wear skirts
PS - did we mention that Messi sells shirts.

We dont want some tactics... we want tippi tap
Why would we care if the spectacle's Cr@p

We dont like the coach - so lets do it again..
Listen here Ref - 11 v 10

I'm still not convinced and worried as hell
Just make it certain - Ramos as well

As for the kids who get up at dawn
stuff all of them - lets make em all Yawn

If you need some advice - on our corrupt policy
Then follow my lead ..........

Signed - Michelle Platini

Lovin United - Superb.


What song is it as cannot get volume at work? I assume by the title "fight fight fight for United" it is From the banks of the River Irwell?

@anderson08

This is what we sang:

From the banks of the Irwell
to Sicily
And we will fight, fight, fight
for Man United FC

Also, go to YouTube and key in 'From the banks of the Irwell'.

In the doorway of the shop are the lads who started it off, and it just spread like wildfire. It must have lasted for about half-an-hour - and was sung non-stop on our coach to the Veltins Arena

Matt. Morning mate. As I say I cannot hear it. What is this one? Why have the words been shortened? What's wrong with the original? Superb song. As much as folk love “we do what we want“ I don't think its apt at home. Yes on away games we do what we want but sounds a bit contrived at home. Can't stand. Can't do this. Shafted by fa. Hardly doing what we want.

Magic stuff! Gets the hair rising on the back of the neck, and it's now like a tape-loop in my head. It's been around for years, can't recall when I first heard it. Anyone know where/ when it started and where it comes from?

Really catchy and I like the wording of it, as much as I like the original its nice to sing something that doesnt have city/liverpool in it.


Palace have a song to this tune "we are the pride of south london" however even though they will claim we've stolen it from them, this tune is sung by ultras all across Europe. The concept of the song is nothing like palaces version.

Everyone steals our songs/tunes of songs, so they can fuck off.

yeah palace are gettin really shiity about it on the youtube page and to be fair we shouldn't be singing someone elses song.
BUT our lyrics are completely different to theirs anyway...

This is a different song but I reckon better and more original to england. Only ever heard it in the pubs tho, never at games

wow. you guys are so lucky, not only do you guys get to go watch United but being a part of thousands of fellow Reds before going to watch them play and then celebrating afterwards must be the most amazing feeling :( and thanks Scott, won't be able to get that out of my head.

@Jellybean

We are just one of those teams,
That you see now and then;
We often score six,
But we seldom score ten,
We beat 'em at home,
And we beat 'em away,
We kill any b*stards,
That get in our way....
We are the pride of all Europe,
The cock of the North,
We hate the Scousers,
The Cockneys of course (and Leeds!);
We are United,
Without any doubt,
We are the Manchester boys, nah, nah, nah.....
OOOOOOO
