Makem Obsession: new evidence

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread

You know the Mancs rip off Blaydon Races and sing "Matt Busby's Aces"? Well, they were so doing last night and the clueless, obsessed muppets started singing "You'll never walk alone" cos they thought they were singing "Blaydon Races". They really need to sit down, have a cup of water and get a grip.

It wasn't that long ago that we sang YNWA too.....even in the 80's we sang it. I won't ever sing it...unless I substitute "walk" for "sign" and "walk alone" for "get a job" :-)

It was them being such muppets that I was referring to.

Why would the muppets since you'll never walk along as a retort? to the mancs singing blaydon races? I really don't understand what you're saying here at all.....I must be missing something (like a brain!)....

Yeah I know Douggie...I got yer drift. Just thought I'd enlighten ya about YNWA.....can't remember at what point we stopped doing it ourselves.

Gav, the Makems thought the Mancs (of all people) were singing Blaydon Races and got so wound up about this that they thought they'd get their own back by singing a Liverpool song.

Hmm sounds strange....I mean the mackems (spit) do their own bastardised version of our song so they'd surely realise that the mancs were just doing that?

How very very odd...
