It’s not an article, it’s a video. Plus, the lad says that they created it based on a song they heard around Europe.
All for digs and piss taking, but creating stuff is weird. The point is that the BBC pander to them, not that anyone suggests they made that song up.
The point is that they persistently attempt to take ownership...q.v. the Liver Bird saga and others. The Intellectual Property Office (which is the body in charge of trademarks and the rights to) must heave when they get another FSG/RS Letterhead regarding another application. Jesus tonight, they even applied to trademark this "Allez" garbage I believe, as well as, bizarrely, "Six Times". I wouldn't be surprised if they claim ownership of their dirge anthem....and say that the Kop sang it before Rodgers and Hammerstein actually wrote the lyrics and composed the music.
