Wes Tender Posted 17 July, 2009 Share Posted 17 July, 2009 I don't know whether it has been mentioned on any of the many threads about our new manager, but according to the announcement on the OS, tomorrow is Alan Pardew's birthday. An auspicious day for him, but also for us, as it is the dawn of a new era for the club with a new owner and a new manager and not only the first match when they will both be at the stadium at the stadium, but a match also against serious classy opposition. As the stadium is going to be substantially close to a capacity attendance, what better opportunity to welcome Alan than with a rousing chorus of "Happy Birthday"?

Wes Tender Posted 17 July, 2009 Author Share Posted 17 July, 2009 It really doesn't matter that much whether we sing Alan, Alan Pardew, Pardie, or any other variation. Provided that we get a lot of people singing it, he'll know that we are singing it for him, as will Markus realise that it's for Alan too. It will be a great way of welcoming Alan to the club and it will also reinforce the impression of a good family club with great fans that was a contributing factor to Markus buying us.

Wiltshire Saint Posted 18 July, 2009 Share Posted 18 July, 2009 But where do we draw the line? Do we sing Happy Birthday to all the players as well? What if we forget someones birthday? That really good destroy a young players confidence. Besides if it a players birthday, they'll be expecting the song and won't really be focussed on the game. It could lead to an error and a goal conceded. Just because he is our manager, doesn't mean we should sing happy birthday. Do we chant "Happy Christmas" to him in December? What about "Have good easter?". There are other people with birthdays. Why don't they get a song? There are soldiers fighting to proect us who are having birthdays? What if we showed our appreciation by singing songs for them? Besides which, it's only a handful of people on here that will know it's his birthday and be singing and the rest of the fans wll be stood there thinking "they must be SWF posters.....the tw*ts are off again" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a new player is signed, let's not dare chant their name in case the other players think that we didn't do it quite as loudly for them. Let's not chant anything for our new owner especially, as we wouldn't want him to know that we appreciate him taking us over. In fact, let's not go to the match at all, as it's only a friendly with us having a crap team. Pardew's birthday was mentioned on the OS. Now, of course, nobody reads that, do they? So you're quite right, everybody will think that it has only been mentioned on here. If you don't reckon that there is anything out of the ordinary in having a new manager attend the stadium to see his new team and the owner for the first match here on his birthday, then fine. Don't chant. Nobody is forcing you. We wouldn't want any chanting disturbing the quietness or your sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying that Alan Pardew's birthday is more important than the birthdays of the soldiers fighting for our freedom? If it weren't for those soldiers you wouldn't be going to a football game, be it in silence or singing birthday songs. I am not suggesting that we don't sing songs and sit there in silences. Maybe we could come up with a compromise? Hpw about the birthdays of all of the players on the OS, pinned to the walls in SMS and displayed where we can all see them. Then we can sing Happy Birthday to all players and no one will get upset at having been missed oput. It's a little unfortunate for those that have birthdays in the close season, but we could maybe have a big catch up session on the first game of the new season (unless of course that was the actul date of a players birthday because then he would feel like we had denegrated his special day by singing to other people who had their birthday weeks ago). If we sang Happy Birthday to every player (and maybe backroom staff) then I think it would be a good idea. Poll please mods? a) We should sing Happy Birthday to AP only b) We should sing to all players, including a catch up session for those who had birthdays in close season c) Sing Happy Birthday to all players but with no catch up session d) Sing happy birthday to AP, players and backroom staff e) Sing Happy Birthday to our troops who are saving us from the bad dangers and that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
