anothersaintinsouthsea Posted 10 May, 2010 Share Posted 10 May, 2010 Does anybody know the words to the Lambert song?..... .....cos no one around me in the Itchen did. On another note if the Southend fans take the **** out of themselves by singing "that's why we're going down.." you look a bit of a tool by joining in with vitriol. IMO of course.

As usual a shocking lack of attention to detail. That version is wrong - the "proper" version is "he stands at NEARLY 6ft 3" anyway. Just as the planks singing "Over 6ft 3" and the people who think he'll "fire" us to the Premier League are all boners too. And don't get me (re-)started on the lack of pause in the second line of the Jose Fonte song either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkish Posted 10 May, 2010 Share Posted 10 May, 2010 Hence why it should be 'he stands at nearly 6 foot 3' Well this is the problem and probably why everyone seems to want to sing the songs at over 1,000 miles an hour without pausing for breath, no one knows the bloody words.

Was impressed by the southend fans again. Not only "that's why we're going down" but also "ce sera, we're going to shrewsbury" and "one team in Essex " after our "one team in Hampshire" -- and over 1000 of them from a small club, miles away. Some even stayed to watch our lap of honour in spite of being warned they might then be kept in. Good luck to them. k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Unbelievable" (as in the DVD) goals? No - but he does score a lot of them. So its quantity compared to quality; which is a complicated concept to deliver in a football song. So prob best just to stick to the fact that the old No 7 has now been replaced by our new No 7......they both wear the same shirt. Innit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The super fast singing and obsession with clapping along at extreme speeds is not how football songs are supposed to be.

I noticed at the end of the game, during the lap of honour, when there was two decent verses of OWTSGMI, there were still people trying to clap along to speed it up. They need to learn to sit on their hands or put them in their pockets. I have no problem with clapping appropriately. The normal speed OWTS (at the Dell) used to be accompanied by stamping on the upper west/east stand wooden floor boards. People need to remember it is a MARCH, the clue is in the title! Try marching to the 1000 RPM version sung now, It would be more like a Benny Hill sequence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish fingers Posted 10 May, 2010 Share Posted 10 May, 2010 If the away fans are moved up the other end then i hope all the little chavs clear off up there with them. They can carry on spending 90mins not watching the game and singing at a 100mph for every song. A good slow rendition of OWTS or the full Ricky Lambert song sounds a million times better than that stupid pompey fan on a string garbage.

The9 Posted 10 May, 2010 Share Posted 10 May, 2010 That Barnard one is truly shocking, as is the majority of what Saints fans come out with. As opposed to the Lambert song, which is correct in height, name, player's ball getting and p155-taking ability, shirt number, club affiliation and goal machine tendencies, and only a bit dubious about his potential ability to take us to the Premier League... ... the Lee Barnard song is incorrect about his stature, pugilistic tendencies, and comparable ability to a player who is two leagues above and plays a completely different position. In "short", it is "fcking hard" to see how either the player or his song is "better than Frank Lampard". Wasted opportunity that one, he could easily "hit the ball fcking hard" and "be better than..." I dunno... "Pericard"... All we are saying... is give us the truth...

No? That could well be what I heard. Not sure about the "and that's why he is my best mate". As there's not much joining in with the second verse as yet [some people can't even be bothered to sing the first one!] can I suggest "and that is why he's f00king great" instead. Me thinks that would make more sense, although fair play to whoever made up a second verse in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately its also the sort of thing that just means you end up with loads of people singing different bits at the same time, which just leads to people stopping singing altogether.
