This picture makes me very very anxious. Please tell me you didn't get ketchup on a shirt.
 
Not really a song but we played someone (Norwich?) at home a couple of years after the 93 FA cup final (the year there were NO semis and we didn't take part). A sub got off the away bench and started warming up to ....

Andy
Andy
Andy
Linighan

He laughed and his team mates scratched their heads ('Did you used to play here then?').

As a nipper my favourite 70s song was the

Alan, Alan Woodward
Alan Woodward on the wing..

The best has to be the short lived Littlejohn song

Littlejohn, Littlejohn
Flying down the wing
Littlejohn, Littlejohn
Fastest fucking thing

He's black as coal
He'll score a goal
Littlejohn, Littlejohn

(repeat chorus)

Dave Basset said
To play in red
You've got to be
lean and mean
like Brian Dean

(repeat chorus)

Robin Hood
Was no good
Couldn't make the grade
Friar Tuck
Kicked to fuck
Never be a Blade

but Basset signed one on,
WHO
Littlejohn, Littlejohn

etc


Time for a lie down
 
Nowhere near the best, but who remembers this one-hit wonder from yesteryear (to the tune of Blue Moon)?

Ian Rush
He's got a fkin big nose
He's got a fkin big nose
He's got a fkin big nose
(repeat ad infinitum)

Although in general I really like "1889", I'm uncomfortable about the line about the demise of Jack Charlton.
Out of respect, can we change that line to "The city is red" or something like that? :)

Jack Charlton is dead, and the city is red

yeah - that works.

always hated that song btw
"and the year is 1889" is the lyric that most sing and it doesn't make sense.
There's often pig fans in town, they haven't fled - Hillsborough is still there, albeit a shit hole - the song just makes no sense whatsoever. It's stupid
If the year was 1889 Jack Charlton couldn't have been dead as he hadn't been born - OK Hillsborough wasn't the home ground of the pigs until 1899 so the only grain of truth in it was that there would be no Hillsborough to sadden anybody's eyes. Now people are stating the lyrics are "every year is 1889" Doesn't anybody work on logic any more?

I actually like the continuous round of Sheffield United, repeated when one group does it followed by the other.
Although it normally coincides with no actual action going on - at least from our perspective.
I remember losing 4-0 away at Grimsby (well in Cleethorpes) last game of the season when we sung that for about 80 mins of the 90.
We'd all past caring by that stage - pigs had got promoted and we couldn't give a flying fuck
That match was also noteworthy for the fact that I got the badge off John McPhail's shirt - nearly had the whole shirt but in the scrum it got wrenched from my grasp and the badge was all I could salvage.
Put it in a square, brushed aluminium frame (round window) so it frames it perfectly - Ken Junior inherited it as soon as he could say "Blades"
The match was also said to be the game where Reg Brearley decided to invest in the club - because of us lot at Grimsby.

Anyway - Shoreham Boys is another good one - although I have to admit that, whilst I have partaken of several ales in many reaches of England's football league, I have never just turned up and began shagging any of the local women.
I'm far too refined for that.

Are we the only club in the land that gets the tune right for "We're by far the greatest team, the world has ever seen"? (sung to the tune of The Wild Rover).

I think possibly so.

What was the one that got a million repeats at Orient this season...
"Don't take me home...." Or summat like that...
My mates who came to the match with me loved it and wondered what the words were...
Click to expand...

Don't take me home
Please don't take me home
I just don't want to go to work
I want to stay here
Drink loads of beer
Please don't, please don't take me home

Basically it's a tedious whinge about not wanting to go home and go to work tomorrow. It's sung by Newcastle fans.

As far as I can tell it has no reference to or connection with United whatsoever (or with Newcastle for that matter).

Very odd choice of song to sing ad nauseam at Orient.

I thought taking the piss out of the group of lads on the balcony of the block of flats in the corner of the ground was far more entertaining...

Showing your age there. The lyrics are:

"Tony Agana, Brian Deane, bibbity bobbity boo.
Put em together and what have you got?
Top of division 2"

We started singing it in division 3. The last line then was "back in division 2".

When we got promoted, it got changed to "still in division 2" - which was about as far as our ambitions stretched at the beginning of that season.

With a good start to the season, clearly a little editing was required, and the version you quote (albeit with Deane and Agana the other way around....) was born.

It doesn't need to make sense. The beauty of it is that it's opaque, with many different possible interpretations. Like a good film, it never quite reveals itself. It leaves the listener to use their imagination, and draw their own conclusions. It can be...whatever you want it to be.

For me, it's a vision of a far off and almost mythical age. The year is 1889. The Blades are born. There is no Hillsborough. Jack Charlton is...well, he's not alive yet. and if he's not alive then he's dead. The pig fans have fled because obviously we've seen them off (again) because we're well 'ard.

Is it a perfect fit? No.
Does it leave questions unanswered? Of course.

And so it should. That is its beauty.

Now, like Shoreham Boys we are here we could resurrect this (Much better) retro song from the sixties. Here goes

We've travelled far and wide
London to merseyside
But there is only one place we want to be
And that is Shoreham Street
Where it is magnifique
And where the Wednesdayites
Lay dead at our feet

Not heard that one before. What's the tune to it? Is it the tune to a song?

Nope still not buying it.
You and your ethereal arty farty drivel can smoke whatever trip weed that helps it make sense.

Every other song has some semblance of logic to it bar that one.
It's shite.

Now, when you hear lyrics like "on Shoreham Street, where it's magnifique" that's genius
 
All we need is clough ;)

Forever and ever is mine

100%...Billy Ray Cyrus..oh please!..boring tedious, but sadly a catchy tune.."You're just a sh@t One Direction" was better by far...

Great song, and one which is particular to United. Newcastle had a version, and Wednesday too (their's including the line "on the Hillsborough Kop, where it is magnifique" - I think they missed the point somewhere along the line) but it feels like a United song.

Most of the songs these days are just the same songs everyone else sings, with a United reference stuck in there (and sometimes we don't even bother with that). Shame.

Nice one Eskimo,it used to be one of my favourites aswell that one.
I remember it as...
We are the Shoreham Boys
We make a lot of noise
We travel far and wide
We've been to Merseyside
But there's one place,that we wanna be
That's the Shoreham Street
Where it's magnifique
And all the Wednesdayites lay dead at our feet.
Naa,naa,nana,nana,nana,nana,nana...
 
My favourite was the one sung to the the
me from the old Kirk Douglas film 'The Vikings' and was sung with 2 halves of tne Kop responding to each other
United (United)
The Greatest Football Team In All The World
(In all the world)
(In all the world)

I bought the DVD so I could sing along with it

One of my faves from a few years ago, sung at Watford on the last day of the season, when the pigs had been relegated to the then old Div 2
(and we'd reached the playoffs) was .......
Oh W..................y what yer gonna do
You're going down to Division two
You can take your trumpet, take your drum
Cos you're gonna play with the Barnsley scum
