There are lyrics, that much is true, and there’s also a verse-chorus structure. The nicest thing I can say is Millwall surely never anticipated having to write a song for a cup final, so if anything this is Sunderland’s fault for losing to them in the semi-finals.

Recently, we have seen the slow demise of the traditional FA Cup final song, in a move which has paralleled the decline of outlets like Top of the Pops on which to perform the music in question.Although they had finished outside the automatic promotion places in 1914–15, Arsenal were re-elected to the First Division after it expanded in 1919. [62] According to Bernard Joy, Arsenal secured eighteen votes to Tottenham Hotspur's eight. [6] However it has been alleged that Arsenal's promotion, on historical grounds rather than merit, was thanks to underhand actions by Norris, who was chairman of the club at the time; see History of Arsenal F.C. (1886–1966) for further details. These allegations range from political machinations to outright bribery; no firm proof of any wrongdoing has ever been found. Double top Gunners".

This feels like a duet between Slade and the guy who sang the Pokémon theme. If that doesn’t sound like something you want to hear, congratulations – your brain is still functioning. This sounds like the theme song for a new flavour of crisps, or the montage music from a film starring one of the lesser-known Disney Channel stars. What it’s doing anywhere near a football club is anyone’s guess, but in a way I’m glad it exists. Keep watching for the rap. Now that’s more like it, an ostensibly positive and original ditty, which is lent a miserable, depressive air by the dour delivery. That’s what Scottish football should be all about.

A club located in the southern counties of England. Initially these were amateur clubs, as professionalism in football was not as readily accepted in the south as in the north. In the 1893–94 season, Arsenal (under its former name Woolwich Arsenal) turned professional and became the first southern club admitted to the northern-oriented Football League. The following year saw the creation of the Southern Football League, which was composed of amateur and professional teams. By the 1920–21 season, the top division of the Southern Football League was absorbed by the Football League, to create its third division. [2] [3] Just wanted to make you aware this exists, really. I have a lot of questions, probably too many for this article, but the main one concerns whether Tommy Wiseau consciously stole Djorkaeff’s look for The Room. The relationship between music and football has evolved over the years, but it’s fair to say the twin pursuits have always shared some common ground. Sung to the tune of ‘Rule Britannia’ the refrain is a simple and digestible one, explaining its enduring popularity. “Good old Arsenal / we’re proud to say that name / while we sing this song we’ll win the game” has a pleasantly quaint feel to it. Much like Constable Morgan and the Metropolitan Police Band that regularly played on the Highbury pitch at half time, it feels quite ‘Arsenal’ somehow. Its simplicity and relatability have given it a timeless quality. The most instantly recognisable of all Arsenal ditties. Memorably, this song was written by football pundit Jimmy Hill, who felt that the Gunners needed an anthem to rival Liverpool’s ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone.’ The song went to number 16 in the UK charts, but has been inculcated into the terrace lexicon of match going Gooners ever since.The less said about ‘Liverpool Anthem’ the better. Let’s just consider this 1983 effort a dry run for what was to come. This has all the cadence of a legitimate song, and would probably appear as such if you didn’t speak English. Unfortunately, the lyrics and scansion are an absolute mess, even more than usual for late-era Manics. Considering their ability to blend strong choruses with spoken-word samples, this is a missed opportunity.
