Yate Saint Posted 20 November, 2011 Share Posted 20 November, 2011 I could maybe understand it if the original statue was still there and the word 'had' was changed for 'has'. Considering how long the new statue has been up its a poor show from the poopey songwriters. I think our 'Steeeeeeeeeve' chant is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted 20 November, 2011 Share Posted 20 November, 2011 I still think the Saints Web thread when that statue was unveiled is one of the funniest in the history of the interwebs. Such a shame it's gone forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a shame it's gone forever. "ooh!! Nice statue!" "It looks OK to me" "Hold on, isn't that statue a piece of crap?" "Oh! yeah! It IS a piece of crap" "Statue OUT!" That thread, you mean?

Lighthouse Posted 20 November, 2011 Share Posted 20 November, 2011 I'm sure we can come up with a song about the statue buying/managing/supporting/playing for Pompey if we try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted 20 November, 2011 Share Posted 20 November, 2011 Nice of them to again seek to immortalise, in song, something or someone connected with their vastly superior neighbours. Has there ever been anyone worthy of a statue in their history ? 'Arry, Gin Smith, Mandaric, Peter Storrey ? In truth there probably was in Jimmy Dickenson but they were too dimwitted to commission it. Did I not read somewhere the original artist - certainly not a sculptor - was from down their way ?

dune Posted 20 November, 2011 Share Posted 20 November, 2011 Hardly topical though. It's the sort of song i'd expect someone on TSW to think of and everyone else to chortle at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy_D Posted 20 November, 2011 Share Posted 20 November, 2011 I'm sure we can come up with a song about the statue buying/managing/supporting/playing for Pompey if we try. Something along the lines of "that's your next manager" in reply to them singing that song?

slickmick Posted 20 November, 2011 Share Posted 20 November, 2011 PRETTY good for the skates, though I can't see them remembering it. They will more likely sing: 4 v 1 in your own back yard so i've been told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy_D Posted 20 November, 2011 Share Posted 20 November, 2011 It's all a bit moot, as they won't be singing much of anything after we go 2 or 3 ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micky Posted 20 November, 2011 Share Posted 20 November, 2011 It would appear that TCWTB ruined it for some of them though, not particularly popular with a lot on there: "That sounds like a great song and we would have loved to join in. But sadly we were stuck 20 or so rows in front of JPFCW & the drummers. What a bunch of mouth breathing, atmosphere killers they really are. How does anyone in the Fratton End put up with them? The real downside of the alcohol ban was that they stayed in the stand at half time pretending to be "jazz drummers". W**kers!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
