Disappointed

[Kit Kat Chunky]

As sung in the Wickerman. Which is a bit like the club at the moment..

Who would play Lord Christopher Lee-Summerisle?

And a suitable replacement for Britt Ekland as well 

[Offside]

Most football songs are shit. Pretty much every set of fans sing variants of the same 4-5 songs for their club.

What separates fans is the unique things they do. Blues have KRO, Stoke fans sing Delilah, we sing TLMS and we Boing. These are the things that separate us from every other group of fans.

I'm old enough to remember when many a football fan sang "You'll never walk alone" and our version included "Walk on...Walk on...With Hope, Kaye and Clarke. I did my apprenticeship in the BRE! I'm convinced that TLMS with changed words was a song about John Wile but can't quite remember - some how we've adopted P23 as our anthem and it's cringeworthy and it's embarassing. We would never have sung that back in the day - Sammy would have never led us us in that dirge. 

the quiot worters bye - please

I’ve been going up since 1979 and it has always been sung so I don’t know what your on about

He's merely Pontificating, or as we pronounce it in the Black Country, "talking bollocks".   

Excuse me for pontificating rats knackers. I do not believe that TLMS was sung at the Albion probably till the early 80s and as I said I think it was something to do with John while. I’ve had a season ticket for 44 years and I was going down the Albion at least 15 years before that although not that regularly. If it was sung it may have been occasionally but never in the form that it is now. I imagine it excludes those of different faiths and none and I think it’s embarrassing. Am I not entitled to that opinion?

Coincidentally I was pontificating on yesterday's outrage caused on this thread by  those of us who find TLMS cringeworthy.  It was bordering on funny.  

This is a forum for opinion.  We are all entitled to one on any topic whatsoever.  If you were a fat unfuckable meeley mouthed lard arse like Poly Toynbee in the Guardian, you'd get paid £200,000 per year for spouting left wing bollocks better known as "an opinion piece" 

Similarly Boris Johnson will without doubt return as an "opinion piece" columnist in the Telegraph to insult muslim women and spout lies, and be paid even more for it.  

My opinion is that I started going to the Hawthorns circa 1957 and never heard TLMS until the last few years, and it makes me cringe. 

Other opinions are welcome but don't take it too seriously. 

Re the mention on an earlier post regarding "Sammy" I can still see him perched on top of a crowd barrier at Wembley doing his thing.  Great stuff.  Whatever happened to him?

Nah. TLMS was definitely sung in the early 70s. Like I say, I think it started at Everton on a sunday in what was then a unique Sunday fixture. I remember it well from the Don Howe days.

When I miss her I pull out a fiver and stare at it.

Just think, when her reign started that was a damn good week's wage!

While?

Who the fuck's John While?

And a suitable replacement for Britt Ekland as well 

Or rather a replacement for the replacement. The full figure wasn't her's, was it?

Correct.

The landlord's daughter's bare bottom was not Britt's.

Absolutely, you're entitled to any opinion you want, I get it you, think it's embarrasing, you've made that blatently obvious, by repeating the same post twice in about 4 hours, you appear to have one other poster who thinks the same, everyone else seems to think TLMS is fine. 
However, personally I wouldn't class the singing of TLMS, anywhere near as embarrasing, as not being able to spell the name of probably our most iconic captain ever.
I know some posters have struggled in the past spelling the names of Olsson, & Albrechtsen, but tbh I've never before seen anyone who couldn't spell WILE.
