The Demotion of the song Grand Old Team

[AsiaAsia82]

I like Grand Old Team but it gauls me a bit that we have to mention the RS.
Can’t we do anything without them being mentioned?

 

[Toffeepot]

What's wrong with that?

singing we don't care what they say, says the exact opposite
and History is all well and good if we had any semblance of a present
Getting regularly beaten by teams with 'less history' means we could probably put a zip in it til we sort our shiz out

 

[Hadders]

I'll never go 'Woo'

What do you suggest we play while we're rubbish?

Spirit of the blues, though we aren't shining brightly, is at least upbeat
and far less embarrasing
Also is an original Everton song

GOT always seems fine after a win, rare as it is, but the RS line makes me cringe tbh
'I don't care, I swear'
'We do have history, I swear'

We should play Blue Monday by New Order. Its has the right level of depression for where we are right now

Manc song.
How about:
Things could be marvellous... soon
Oh, so this is the squad and this is the board.
These are the wages we can't afford.
Bill won't cut the cord.
Now, you'll never be sure if this is the time
We get relegated: the end of the line
Points deducted and fined
We used to be good but now we've forgotten.
Moshiri blew millions but we're still bottom
Bramley Moor Dock will not be completed on time
And you know I'm right

I’ve never been that big a fan of it to be honest. It’s not an original Everton song which always rankles with me.

It is. It's an original song to this city that was adapted from school songs. St Anthony's and other school teams had it as their anthem in the 1940s and 1950s. It was in this book:

 

[Furey1878]

If it will address the issue of our suspect fullbacks, then yes!

 

[ElGato]

I like them all to be fair

If I had to choose one to take with me, would be Forever Everton. Sounds like a Ska tune. Bangs

If I had to choose one to sing at a home game, would be GOT. Mad that no-one actually finished it though, wimps

If I had to choose one to sing at an away game, would be Spirit of the Blues. The wooo proper annoys people, which I think is hilarious

Are we really sat round the retirement home fireplace and discussing which songs we like and don't like? "None of this new stuff", "when they sing wooo they sound gay"? Must be the international break

 

[ElGato]

The irony of Spirit of the Blues as well.

"We don't know the meaning of losing"

As one of my mates pointed out, perhaps if we did we wouldn't do it so often

 

[Groucho]

No mate that’s anything by Leonard Cohen
