Blackpool Away!

Decent day out, but I prefer away days without a drum and borderline homophobic chanting.

I thought the ref had given the free kick/pen, but it was a shocking touch just before that giving the goalie an even chance.

The pathetic Arsenal fans would have been better not turning up.

What's this about Arsenal fans? I wasn't there yesterday
 
Got to disagree about Mattys performance yesterday,despite being out numbered in the middle of the park in the first half,he constantly tried to influence the game in terms of attack and defending.
Out of all the central midfielders (both sides),who created more chances ?
Very hard to get near good players when they have an extra man,but he worked hard to get dragged around whilst retaining shape,which in turn limited their chances.
One thing about the lad,playing well or not,he doesn't go hiding!!!
 
Lowered the tone somewhat, but when you've got that many fans on the pop before the match it's probably predictable. Not sure why it's sung: A tired old insult that's neither funny nor insulting really. Just a bit embarrassing for those daft enough to sing it.

On the positive side, loads of great upbeat singing and drumming and general all round good behaviour as per usual.

Lord, I'm not even familiar with the song, can you give a brief synopsis?

I've heard songs sung elsewhere, not by accy fans, saying certain players peel bananas with there feet. Does that just relate to eating fruit?

Thankfully that one died out a while ago.

Don't think that's the same at all to be fair, that one us blatantly racist - most song/chant lyrics are just a bit of banter & usually received in that spirit.

Personally, the Jim Harvey one makes me cringe much more than the turkey song - too near the knuckle for me

I agree but it's all a matter of perspective. Years ago that would have been fine to some but not now.

It's the same with that song as it is blatantly homophobic, we just haven't accepted it yet as such because homophobia hasn't reached the same focus.

If it's that innocent and banter, would you sing it at Andy Woodward if he was playing and if not why not?

I've sang far worse many years ago in a different time that I wouldn't anymore as times change and so does what's acceptable.

I agree about the Jim Harvey one, that is bad!
 
Sorry if I'm a bit thick but who's Andy Woodward?

As far back as I can remember the turkey song hasn't been sung to someone who's known to bat for the other side so to speak, but usually to someone who's pee'ed off our fans, e.g. Paul Cook, Paul Ince, etc., etc., . . . . . . . . Oh, & Tony Roberts who used to love it & played to his audience :)
