Fulham v Bolton [R]

It works, but the "Rule, Britannia" melody works a bit better.

When Mathis played for the Metrostars, they had a cool variation:

CLINT MATHIS MAGIC
HE WEARS A DRINKING CAP
IF ASKED TO PLAY FOR NEW YORK
HE SAID, "I'D FANCY THAT"

BUD LIGHT'S IN HIS LEFT HAND
DORITOS IN HIS RIGHT
AND SITTING ON THE BENCH ALL GAME
HE'LL WHINE ALL FUCKING NIGHT.

The brilliance never ends.

 

Sorry Sublicon,

But I have to totally disagree, not only can I not make it scan for Rule, Britannia, I've sung variation of the song and can even offer you published evidence of an alternative version in literature:

"Shit Ground, No Fans" - Jack Bremner(Bantam Press, London) 2004.

Pg 17 England Chants:

The tune is one of the most popular used on the terrace, with only the chimes of big ben and bread of heaven providing the score to more support/abuse.

I have to add that I don't recall any chant based on Rule Britannia except for Rule Britannia. In the UK it seems that that and the national anthem are not bastardised, while Land of Hope and Glory is.

 

I made the pilgrimage to the Cottage for this match and all I can say is it was without a doubt the best live sporting event I have ever been to in my life, period. I was at Game 1 of the WS at Fenway last year btw.. This beat it hands down. Its just amazing the passion the English fans have for the game and they catch you right up in it. Thank you American Mike for the tickets in the Hammy End!! Now having been there I could not imagine sitting anywhere else in the ground.

Oh and a little funny for those that have heard the songs sung at the cottage. Well I found it spit take funny anyway.

After the Bobby Zamora chant had run its course several times my wife looked over at me and said "Are they saying "Throw Me Some Walnuts?"". For those who have heard the way its sung, which I cannot do justice to here, I hope you can see where she might have picked up on it.

 

I was on vacation in Williamsburg, VA for the week (Fri-Fri) but had my DVR all set. We drive home Friday morning, get back by 2pm and, after unloading the van, I settle in front of the TV with a soda and munchies and....ManU? Let me check that again...ManU? Aaaarrrrgggghhhh!

NOT happy with Setanta.

 

I just wanted to make note of Obsolet3's post above...if you've never been to the Cottage, or even if you have, hopefully you'll leave feeling the same way, win, lose or draw.

 

Oh...the sweet FA. The guy in the beard is loll...a friend of mine and true FFC fan.
