chuky_r_law Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 what is it with the english fans? why do they always sing god save the queen over and over again? i'm sure most of them wouldn't even piss on her if she was on fire. and its not as if they're short of a few chants. explain!!!

Mac Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 I have always felt Jerusalem is the song for us to have as a National anthem. ATB Mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 I like some of the Latin American ones...Big orchestral jobs where the words never seem to suit the tune. Or they drag on for an hour & suddenly it burst's in to a volley of non matching words & shouting ( Im figuring thats when the tin pot regimes in charge of many of these latin American nations start pointing the rifles) via the proud citizens singing. I loves the scene Where all the players & fan's in stadium singing look like there str8 out of a Sergio Leone Spahgetti western. ( That would be Terence Hill & Bud Spencer flicks for the younger)........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 British national anthem is a depressing dirge in my opinion. Also a bit much to ask the Scots to sing a song which includes the verse... Lord grant that Marshal Wade May by thy mighty aid Victory bring. May he sedition hush, And like a torrent rush, Rebellious Scots to crush. God save the Queen! England should, without a doubt, have a new anthem God save the queen should be dumped for all time. Have a competition to write a new one...my money would be on Billy Bragg to come up with something...or Take That . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 What pisses me off about the national anthem is that it was written by an American and i dont like the queen very much and wouldnt want 'God' to save her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunny the Blue Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Dont get me wrong ive got nothing against the quen but i just think our national anthem shud be about the country itself rather than about the "backbone" of the country.
