Scapegoat Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Listening to the change of Ei Ei Ei-o on Saturday got the hairs on my neck standing up - and reminded me that as I far as I am aware people often sing this incorrectly by chanting "Up the Football 'ere we go" rather than I always remember it "up the football league we go". Wondered if would be useful to have a post about some of the songs being sung at the moment (particularly the new ones) to ensure they are all understood correctly? I'll get it started... "Lee Johnson's blue and white army" (and repeat) ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume the italics bit is the bit you feel goes wrong? Think I have heard (and maybe even sung) "He could have stayed at Man U, but they are f*****g :censored:e". Good correction.
