After the chart on-slaught of Football themed England supporting songs repeated and faded into the ether, it must be a difficult time for the novelty music fan/musician. More so for the English Football Fan who witnessed us getting knocked out of the World Cup at the quater final stages…….again! Who is to blame: The manager? The players? The Argentinian ref? Ronaldo? (cheeky winking t**t) Rooney? Perhaps it was the lack of a good tune (see Embrace below) to carry the lads to victory. The Anfield Rap was always my favorite football song and Eanie Meanie by Jim Noir is a really sweet ode to football as a whole.

Embrace – Hard done by? (no!!!)

While one Owen was sent home knackered (poor Newcastle! I hope the media start to focus on our plight ,now that England’s campaign is over), another Owen was the subject of songs, Hargreaves finally proved his worth with an excellent midfield display. Fans allegedly sang his name during extra time even though he had previously been the subject of some nasty charts from the “boo boys”. He was man of the match apart from Riccardo the Portugese goalie, who, for all our want to blame our own players (all shots on targets, none skyed out of the stadium, unusual),was outstanding during the penalty shoot out.

When you’ve dried the tears, perhaps you could cheer yourself up with these NUFC football chants (there is some great spelling mistakes in there too – “poco if you love the toon” pogo maybe? or polka perhaps?)). Perhaps we can get a better football song for Euro 2008 and therefore a better result. Might need better players and a better manager and perhaps an English ref……nevermind.
