I don't think I've ever heard a song sung on the terraces that is a complete, fan written original. All the songs come from popular culture, like football itself. In this light it must be imposible for anyone to claim they 'invented' or even introduced a terrace chant. In Arsenal's 1970 double winning season Bob Wilson, their goalkeeper (Very boring man) suggested he'd written a song for the fans to sing at Wembley. called 'Good 'ol Arsenal', it was in fact a reworded 'Rule Brittania'. Just like the
man, boring and unoriginal. And he was so smuggly contend and self-congratulating. A bit like Arsenal fans in fact!

And still, 3 pages in, the point is not to claim the song and not one person has claimed a song - I know the majority of songs we sing are sung by others, ive heard the Mrs Robinson tune from a few teams.

I heard the weed singing 'The Palace ran away' last night. So predictable!!!


I was running away because I didn't wanna be bummed


Now who's giving a "very mature and intellegant response ?"

They have, sing it about Vincent Company - in fact belgium even nicked it off them and were singing it in their world cup qualifiers.

Many fans have Infact... heard it in the bundesliga every other week for the past few seasons.

We cant claim the tune to that one im afraid... simon and garfunkel probably have copyright on that.


It's not the point I'm making at all. I fully appreciate they may have had it as a song they used for 20+ years, but us going down there has clearly inspired them to get it properly going at games, I never heard then sing it on motd until after we went there this season so we clearly have made an impact, which is brilliant to see.

That's all


Sorry but thats just nonsense, they way they sing there songs has nothing to do with us.

And as someone else has pointed out all this "arent we the best fans" self promotion is getting a bit boring now.

By all means lets sing and get behind team as we do well... but lets not become arrogant and over the top about it. Let's have a bit more class than that please.

Why would anyone be annoyed that we are loud and proud of it lol?

Nonsense is a bit harsh - its based on peoples opinions, kind of the concept of a message board - if you don't like people praising our support and being proud of it then don't do it, I'm sure its not gonna effect you too badly if other Palace fans to decide to talk about how food our support is.

Know one has become arrogant - if your the best team in the league and its clear for everyone to see, you would talk about how you are the best team in the world and its clear for everyone to see.

Same goes for if you are the best fans in the league and its clear for everyone to see - which in my opinion is more important than anything else.

In more than one occasion last season we were a 12th man and praising and acknowledging it does not make you arrogant or "not classy" lol thats just stupid.

I know its off topic but having spoke to people at Selhurst on a Saturday but this season especially, more and more people have become whiny on the site and always want to disagree with everything people say just for the sake of it.

That, I think, is more boring than someone who says we have the best fans in the league.


What I think is annoying people is the amount that everyone keeps going on about our fans. Yes without doubt we are one of the best around but its almost like there are a load of people going to games that havent been before/for years..............

So your way to back your argument of people praising our fans being boring is by starting the whole "I'm a better palace fan then you" s***.

Talk about contradiction


Dont think I ever mentioned anything about better fans than other people anywhere on the holmesdale let alone this thread? Just stated that there are more people going to games this year so more people are going on about it so is getting annoying to some people. Perfectly reasoned point I thought with no contradiction and without anything to do with whether fans are better than others.

Sorry misred the order of wording on your above post. Ignore the part about my argument

I agree with you. It is getting boring. We are in Geordie territory with all the "best fans in the world" nonsense.

What I dislke is the self contragratulations from people. In the ground for most part of the game, its is the AWM and the HF that are non stop singing. Large parts of the ground are still in silence. People jump on the best fans badwagon just because they joined in with 1 or 2 songs.

 

I'm tough. I'm ambitious. I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, I'm OK with that.

I actually think this is a fair point - I don't think everyone has to sing or be up all match because some people would prefer to sit down and just enjoy the match but what gets to me is people who pay for seats in the loudest parts of the ground to stand there and moan that people are being too loud

But it isn't in response to something I am giving my opinion on or to back up any of my points - its a joke and therefore completely irrelevant.

Once again your intelligence has failed you.

And by the way its "intelligent"
