I didn't think there would be a sequel to the Football Calypso, but there is. The previously posted calypso song mentioned various "big" teams at the time, including Huddersfield. This next calypso is from the same era but this time sings about one team. That of the Busby Babes over at Old Traffo... Read More..>>
Strachan
I'm cross posting a couple of themes here - Continuing with the Scotia one, but introducing a new theme too. This theme will be tunes written with the subject solely concerning association football players. - Starting with the wee man below: This isn't about his current position, it is a tune that reflects on his time in a yellow strip. The s
Bobby Gould Did Go
Sadly I have next to nothing when it comes to songs related to the Wales team (Welsh team ?) Possibly because they don't have much to sing about, which is a pity because I would have liked to have seen Ian Rush or Mark Hughes or Ryan Giggs and Craig Bellamy play in at least one major final. (In the case of Bellamy there's still Euro 2012...?) Aaro
Weezer Loves Soccer
They actually did it. At one point it looked like they were going home, but somehow they pulled it off. Oh and the USA are in Confederations Cup Final too. Thanks to 3rd Degree for discovering the fo
A Song For England: Round 2

Blind Granny's Taxi Nightmare These chaps have previous with an England World Cup song having previously released a previous version (have I said previous enough ?) of this tune four years ago. The
Singing For England
So you've read that there will be no official England World Cup song. So you think you can fill that void ? So then tell us about it. I know I'm going to regret this, but it's as inevitable as [inse
Bobby Moore Really Was Innocent
This is the first post of a few that will remember the legend that was Sir Bobby Moore. I know he wasn't knighted when he was alive, but that was the fault of the powers that be who only realised their mistake after his passing and made up for it by giving a gong to Geoff Hurst. So why not award him a knighthood posthumously eh ? Today though i
Dennis the Menace
I don't know what I could write, what other words could be contributed to describe the best deep lying centre forwards that the Premier League has even seen. The two songs here are done by some Arsenal supporting musical acts about his time at Highbury, but I want give a mention to one of the ...Read More
A Life Less Ordinary
I read an article in passing the other week but I've not had the opportunity to post something in relation to it until now. Since this is tribute to the departed this week it is appropriate to do this now. This entry will be a sort of introduction/link to the next subject. Everyone I'm sure is familiar with what happened with Justin ...Read More
The Greatest Footballer You Never Saw
Not being original with the title of the post, using the same one as the book, but it is an excellent description of today's subject and it can't be bettered. This is the first in a mini-series looki
Cold Electric Blue, Those Diamond Lights
Ah that seminal appearance... That's what I should have called this place. Football and Music...dull as ditch water. What was I thinking. A few of the Friendlies linked to the right there had some imagination when entitling theirs, so where was mine ? Nowhere. I know it does what it says on the tin but if I called it "Diamond Lights", peopl
Stranger Than Fiction
This one starts out as strange and then gets a whole lot weird... Here's a chant that Palace fans would have heard a few years back:"He's fat, he's round, he's taking Crystal Palace down..."The Swede with a turning circle of the Titanic came to our attention when he s
Before I go on I want to give a big shout out to Cherry Red Records. They are a record label who have survived all these years and not been bought out by the corporates, they are the record label who enabled the Dead Kennedy's to nearly make the top 30 of the charts with Too Drunk to Fcuk. Also unl... Read More..>>
Edit: I actually meant to type weekend table round up. Oh never mind. The random selection week on the Predicts turned out to be a curse on some of the teams and some of the predictors. Ipswich let 3 in the last three minutes at West Brom which finished 4-nil to Mowbray's mob. The gubbing of h... Read More..>>
Well that seems to be it for his blog. No updates since August 16th which means no new material for me to rip the piss out of. So now I have to trawl the web. See what you've resorted me to Derek ?! Come on chap, get one of your lackies to ghost write something new for us. In the meantime some non-... Read More..>>
A sequel to the Tartan Specials and their new lyrics over familiar tunes method: With only a few hours to go before another crucial England qualifier... and this really is the crucial match against a tougher opposition. As with Saturday it is a win they need, no losses and no draws. A win. To ... Read More..>>
At Leicester City it seems that a 4-1 gubbing of Watford is enough to get you sacked and at the moment their impatient trigger finger Chairman/Owner Mandaric is looking for new blood, with cheer up Peter Reid being one of those in the frame. One of their famous fans asked another famous fan and e... Read More..>>
