[Sky Blue Harry H]

Great thread this, but that one seems to have been worked on for some time, Harry!

I finished in 30 seconds (sic)

Seriously - I was always the office poet whenever anyone was leaving - seriously offended an ex-colleague for her 50th referring to bingo wings, facial hair etc (sometimes you can get it wrong!!)

'We all dream of a team of Gary Breens'
Despite singing it, I have never actually had a dream where all of our players from 1 - 11 were Gary Breen. And I've had many bizarre, and lucid dreams in my life, and sometimes about the City too, but never about this G. Breen line up scenario.

I mean, a couple in defence would have been pretty useful, even a couple more as back up for when we have our usual defensive injury crisis would be handy too...but a Gary Breen on each wing, or as a false 9 would actually be pretty undesirable, and far from dreamlike.

 

[torchomatic]

I'm always amused at how thick some of our fans are. Chants that stick out:

"You're just a small town in Wales..." - To Shrewsbury fans.
"Your support is fucking shit..." - To Plymouth fans at a midweek JPT game.

City Till I Die is often ironic.

My favourite of all the music!
I sang this to my kids as a nursery rhyme.
In fact most of our chants/songs have made it into the ‘dactyl household hit parade’...’in our coventry homes’, ‘shit on the villa’ etc etc. Thats normal right?
On this point I have to say, I’m not sure our accent is exceedingly rare.

 

[PCH]

I can't stand in our Coventry homes. Always remember Liverpool singing that at HR many years ago, so not unique to us and probably nicked from them.
Also stand up if you love city. Always feel obliged even though I feel a deep dislike towards them most of the time lately

"You're just a small town in Wales..." - To Shrewsbury fans.

I'm the opposite for some reason, these make me chuckle. Little bit of harmless piss taking, like singing "You're just a small town in Scotland" to Newcastle.

Favourite thing about that chant v Shrewsbury was my Mum, who loves history, being very impressed that the Sky Blue Army knew that it used to be a part of Wales back in the 15th century... Had to explain that probably wasn't the case and it's just because it's kinda close

 

[Otis]

Yeah, that then would have only worked if he had very poor eyesight and his dad was called Ronald.

'6ft 1, dad's called Ron,
Big Jim Holton's eyes have gone,
La, la, la, la, la la, la, la.'

New twist.

'Sky Blue heaven, Dion and Devon
Stack them together and they're 5ft 7
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la'

 

[Liquid Gold]

I used to like
"minus 10
who gives a fuck
we're Coventry city and we're going up"

From the Sixfields season I think where Wilson and Clarke we're banging them in and we were shooting up the table.

 

[jimmyhillsfanclub]

Now then......as an old skool Raver & a parent of kids who love "Hey Duggee", I reckon the SBA could absolutely own this......

Just change "stick" for "Squeak" & LETS HAVE IT.......LARGE !!







Happy Friday folks !!!

Fuck! Is that what kids are in to these days? I love it.

[pusbccfc]

Depending on your relationship with your wife 'Ain't nobody like McNulty, he makes me happy, he makes me feel this way' is very realistic.

 

[jimmyhillsfanclub]

squeak squeak squeak squeak squeaky squeaky squeak squeak

Yep......it could become a terrace cult classic......

Just imagine a 4000+ strong rave at Notts county........

...build it....and they will come.....

.....squeak squeak squeak squeak squeaky squeaky squeak squeak

 

[Johhny Blue]

"We want 4" is usually true although "We want 2" might be more appropriate this year
There are conspiracy theorists that are sure Robins only plays for draws that keep trying to start a chant of "we don't want any"

 

[Johhny Blue]

True or false? "The Referee's a Wanker". Jury's out

Or minus 45 in this part of the world

This is one of the best City songs of all time, I remember us singing it for the whole of the second half away at Swindon in the cup one season. It was also sung in the concourse at Brighton in the cup.

I also like the Big Mo song, got a feeling it might be sung at tomorrow's game

 

[rob9872]

Yer moms yer dad, yer dads yer mom

Not only ridiculous and pointless, but even with the interbreeding that does go on in the Leicester suburbs, this is medically impossible.

Now your father is your brother, your sister is your mother ... mile better

I want to hear this loud and proud from you boys in the naughty corner tomorrow when we're beating Lincoln please!

Gary breen song also sang by ROI
so who sang it first?

Man Utd did about George Best. Doesn't even rhyme but we nicked it from them as Breen rhymes with Submarine.

We were singing it at Wycombe for ages

 

[italiahorse]

"Your support is Fckuing sh1t"
That's as low as it gets.

May have to mention some Rolling Stones hits later ?

 

[Johhny Blue]

On a deeper philosophical note, some songs can change from true to false and/or vice versa.
At THE GAME Tottenham fans sang
We've never lost at Wembley" (True)
We beat them (False)
We stole the Song (True)
Everton beat us (False)
Tottenham took it back (True)
Man Utd beat them (False)
We took it back (True)
Now we own it.
WE'VE NEVER LOST AT WEMBLEY

Team of Gary Breens.

Not sure I agree.

I have trouble remembering the lyrics.

Our accent is exceedingly rare IMO, It’s not like any other I know, distinct from the south and also distinct from the Midlands.

 

[Sick Boy]

It's a Midlands' accent, how's an accent like the Leicester accent any less distinctive? If anything the Birmingham accent is more distinctive than either.

 

[Terry_dactyl]

I think to the untrained ear we still sound like brummies.

 

[oscillatewildly]

Virtually all of our songs are inaccurate and some are embarrassing but it’s hardly new.

We nicked “In our Coventry homes” from the Scousers but omitted the only fkin line that’s more appropriate for Coventry than Liverpool “we meet under a statue exceedingly bare”.

But that’s nothing compared to the cringefest that was “What’s that coming over the hill, is it a Mifsud?”

I've always sung that line (therefore always finishing one line after everybody else.)

 

[wingy]

O

My City does not make me happy when skies are grey, statistically they’re far more likely to make me miserable when skies are blue.

As for realistic chants:

“You are my City, my only City
so I am stuck here
Watching this shite
We might do OK
Until Christmas
Then get sucked into
a relegation fight. “

Listen to yourself back on a tape recording and it's surprising.
I did grow up in the borderlands though.
Edit :- sorry that was in response to Terry dactyl.

I have hated listening to myself on recordings previously.
My parents, who are from Northern Ireland and Portsmouth, insist we (my siblings and I) sound like brummies. When I’ve been on holidays I’ve been identified as a brummie, my work mates - London, Portsmouth, Cardiff (I’ve moved around a bit) - have detected a “brummie” twang and have therefore taken the piss - yes, even the welsh colleagues!
While most of us right thinking people are able to discern the difference I don’t think others (from outside of cov, or as I like to call them, idiots) can...allroight!

When I as on holiday down Cornwall once I got asked where I was from I said 'Coventry' and they responded in the poshest, snobbiest, RP English with 'Oh, Coventry!!'

My guess is they have only ever been to Styvechale.

 

[Covkid1968#]

Tiptoe through the west end, get your hat nicked, get your head kicked in.....

They just don't write them like they used to......

Although I confess...I've never tiptoed at that particular end of the ground...unless you include the last game of Highfield road when I stole a sign off the mens toilets as a momento!!!
