chronic Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Just my opinion but I really don't like this song. I know EFC are one of the oldest and most revered clubs in the premiership and this is reflected in the lyrics, but to me it just seems a bit twee - I can't help thinking of George Formby whenever I hear it :-( It's a shame we don't have an anthem that identifies us as a club like "You'll never walk alone" does for Liverpool. That being said, Z Cars still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up whenever I hear it! I'd be interested to know what you all think.

thebluenose Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 but not forgetting we also have were forever Everton spirit of the blues. may not be identifiable as YNWA but who gives a fig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Go along with "twee" for the recorded version, though not much more so than Gerry and the Pacemakers doing the red dirge, but singing it at Goodison is another matter...love it. (Apparently one of the bits from the "Carlberg pub team" campaign which they may use if England stay in the World Cup is the team singing "It's a grand old team" in the pub) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 The recording of a grand old team is a bit cheesey but i cant see how anyone can say they dont like it when 40,000 people are singin their hearts out to it!!! I f*ckin larrrve it YNWA alone is one song that makes me cringe to be honest, always picture some RS tosser standing there with all there badges that they bought the night before so they look like 'supporters'....C*NTS Z-cars makes the hairs on the back of me neck stand up though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Z-cars for me, is the sound of Goodison, I get goosepimples when I hear it, just because there are no words that doesn't make it any less evocative. Got it set as my ringtone, and it was recognised in Darlington town centre by a Darlo Blue. ATB Mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
