Benwell Lad Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 b@st@rds get out of our club ! Come on lads it's a really catchy ditto, but geographically flawed and helps perpetuate the myth about our parochial ways. The words should be changed - he's from Hertfordshire or Buckinghamshire or somewhere isn't he ? He's not a cockney. "You fat Herfordshire b@st@rd" doesn't quite have the same ring to it though does it ? Maybe "southern" would work. Even the (mistaken) assumption that all Londoners are cockneys would mean the only "cockney" connections in our club are Harewood, Steven Taylor, Ranger and Hughton, and they're all doing canny jobs. Give the poor old cockneys a break. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 The rest of the country refers to Londoners as cockneys, it's wrong but absolutely widespread. I don't think we should worry about the technicalities of the chant while our club is stuck fucking around in the Championship... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Whilst its not exact, it lets fatman know he is not wanted, unless you can come up with a ditty of your own. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I totally agree, I hate that song and it makes us look like idiots. Though I recently heard our away fans singing 'Kenwyn Jones eats bananas with his feet', so nothing surprises me about how ignorant we can be. No different to other sets of fans though, obviously.

Mowen Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 First time I heard it was at West Brom, and in my inebrieted state I was using the word fucking instead of cockney. Works fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thespence Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Most football songs have artist creativity to suit though. Is there really "One Steve Watson", I have not been a victim of scouse crime well apart from watching the fraud that is J.Barton play but I still sing "You stole my stereo" & Boro fans used to sing "One job on teeside" that may be correct now but it was not at the time.

Dave Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 It's worth singing purely for the fact he's not a cockney tbh. The amusement from people being wound up by it being technically inaccurate is half the fucking point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 FWIW, I as sat up in Milburn/Leazes corner for the Plymouth match and had no trouble when I started singing "there's only one Mike Ashley" after Nolan's goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give the poor old cockneys a break. How do you know any of the people singing it were geordies? Did you ask them where they were born to check it was north of the Tyne? Rather a parochial assumption on your part don't you think? http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/2694/200pxpearlykingandqueen.jpg Derek Llambias & Mike Ashley, pleased after their team's 5-0 victory.
