See the Stir are at it again...

[GrayBlade]

They might as well post the vote in the Pig's own match day program but come on, the GCB, a genuine football anthem or Der der der der der der then sing the title (that they nicked off Wolves anyway).

Don't vote lads, let them kid themselves. I bet they're banging the drum to a frenzy over on Porktalk

 

[nopigfansintown]

Let the pigs win with 100%.

 

[Barney]

More pigs read pig rag shocker.

 

[GrayBlade]

The shock headlines will be on every billboard in the city.

 

[Foxy]

Doesn't it make you so immensely proud of the city?

 

[Stretch]

A song that they share with/stole from at least, at least 2 other clubs that comprises of 4 words sung. They aren't capable of generating anything original of course yet they will vote in their droves and take it as proof of their massiveness.

What a waste of any sane person's time.

Well one half of it Foxy. It's good to see that the Stir is raising its journo standards mind.

But not on Porktalk,

They really have no shame.

 

[SteveBlade]

Didn't even know this existed, as I assume the majority of Blades didn't because the Stir is gash.

Meanwhile the Owls are voting 3 times each and clearing their browser history to vote even more in what might be the worst poll I've seen.

Tinpot.

 

[GrayBlade]

Haha they've taken it down and switched the link to the best Sheffield song poll. Must be after all the stick they had on Twitter.

Maybe somebody pointed our that 3 words didn't constitute a song?

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

Pigs genuinely have no shame.

Next week: what's the "best dance act in Sheffield"? One entry. Three million votes for it -

To be fair, even I would vote for them with that dance act on the back of their Kop.
They are known as the "Wednesday Ultras".
At one stage I thought they were going to break out with the AGADOO dance.

Good old Donny Fan Darren Burke, on the wind up again this week with that.

I am being cynical but I get the impression he is doing this on purpose just to get attention on Twitter now.

He probably knows that he won't be in a job soon.

He's a Digitial (sic) Reporter.

It's such a complete and utter non-story. There may be a legitimate comparison between two football songs (didn't GCB win some award as the best football chant, I doubt the plagiarisation of Jeff Beck's magnum opus will ever do that. However, there is no common ground between those popular chants and songs which are genuinely about Sheffield, which most of the others on the list aren't, in any case, just mentions in passing (Arctic Monkeys, The Clash)) and even an album title (Tony Christie). At least Richard Hawley's inclusion of Sheffield places stands closer scrutiny and despite his football allegiance, I've always liked his inclusion of local places in his songs, he'd win hands down for me.

Joe Cocker could have had a mention, one of his albums was called Sheffield Steel, it wasn't about Sheffield, but why would that stop it being included in a digitial (sic) poll such as this one?

He'll be loving his five minutes of lame.

A newspaper posted an online poll?

Fucking disgrace!

Ashamed to share a city with them. Have they got opposable thumbs yet?

Also are they singing the 'empty seats' song with empty seats around them?

 

[Roygbiv]

I hope hi ho silver lining wins. Cant think of anything more apt. A laughable song for a laughable paper.

 

[Rodley]

I'm furious!

Absolutely cringeworthy and something I hope we Blades never adopt.

 

[INTAKE BLADE]

They are a desperate and ugly breed, narcissistic wankers.

 

[GrayBlade]

I'm furious!

Haha, so am I; NOT! It's hard to be surprised at anything the Stir does these days whilst in its death throes.

The fact that he had to pull the original poll and merge it with another to soften it must be because he was told there where still 15 Blades that actually still bought the rag.

Let's all vote for Hi-Ho Pigsty Cladding and rig the vote. It's unique. The only football anthem in the world with just 3 words.

 

[I should coco]

The only football anthem in the world with just 3 words.

It makes it easier for them.

Most of them can eventually remember the 'Hi Ho' bit and the really clever ones chip in with the 'Sheffield Wednesday' bit.

Just a few games against Wolves in the 60s, so they did very well to hear it, let it sink in, and remember it. You can imagine the conversations on the Inter-City Pig on the way back from Molineux.

"Hi..... er what comes next?"

"Er.......Ho, I think"

"Thanks.........Hi, ho.........er what comes next?"

 

[Karaoke Blade]

And to think, if I hadn't clicked on this post I'd have been none the wiser.

 

[TonyAgana]

Voted for Pigs. Go pigs.

 

[The Crab]

I'm furious!

Me too, getting a Coffee and the fucking Sugars run out.

 

[Sheffsteel]

You're not going to believe this.

There's a Wednesday fan at work asking everyone at work to vote for their song.
He's also bragged about logging 100 votes himself simply by clearing the cookies and voting again.

Talk about saddo.
I've never known such an insecure set of fans ha ha
