jim_bergerac Posted 13 May, 2013 Posted 13 May, 2013 Been to a few games now and hearing the song about Maurice Small Pocket, but I have no idea what is actually being sung apart from the ending Pochettino, Pochettino... Help me out please.
DuncanRG Posted 13 May, 2013 Posted 13 May, 2013 This is how it feels to be Pompey This is how it feels to be small You sign Whittingham, we sign Pochettino, Pochettino, Pochettino
jim_bergerac Posted 13 May, 2013 Author Posted 13 May, 2013 Many thanks for that. Settled my curiosity
The Mac Attack Posted 13 May, 2013 Posted 13 May, 2013 This is how it feels to be Pompey This is how it feels to be small You sign Whittingham, we sign Pochettino, Pochettino, Pochettino I don't get it!?
Saint Garrett Posted 13 May, 2013 Posted 13 May, 2013 I didn't get it the first time I heard it....What does it mean....'this is how it feels to be pompey'....are we now skint and have no players ?
kpturner Posted 13 May, 2013 Posted 13 May, 2013 I didn't get it the first time I heard it....What does it mean....'this is how it feels to be pompey'....are we now skint and have no players ? The first two lines are describing the second two facts. It is quite simple.
Saint Garrett Posted 13 May, 2013 Posted 13 May, 2013 Surely it should be...thats what it feels to be pompey, thats what it feels to be small..
Bearsy Posted 13 May, 2013 Posted 13 May, 2013 I'm with you g, literally it seems to mean Ponch is same as whitters. It's a song of solidarity
kpturner Posted 13 May, 2013 Posted 13 May, 2013 Surely it should be...thats what it feels to be pompey, thats what it feels to be small.. Well maybe so, but I guess it is trying to be true(ish) to the original words. Anyway, accurate or not, it's a 100 times less cringeworthy than that Cortese chant
The Mac Attack Posted 13 May, 2013 Posted 13 May, 2013 I didn't get it the first time I heard it....What does it mean....'this is how it feels to be pompey'....are we now skint and have no players ? I can understand the point that its trying to make but in terms of what the words say its completely contradictory. Maybe it's just some big ironic mess that I'm supposed to get, but I don't........and no I don't suffer from autism
Saint Garrett Posted 13 May, 2013 Posted 13 May, 2013 I quite like the song, just not sure it makes complete sense thats all!
Sour Mash Posted 13 May, 2013 Posted 13 May, 2013 Shouldn't the first line be 'Tell us what it's like to be Pompey....'?
UpweySaint Posted 13 May, 2013 Posted 13 May, 2013 Well where its been blagged from the mancs im not sure we can be too critical of the words, at least we've came up with two of our own lines as opposed to other clubs just chucking their name into owts. Either way, makes sense or not, I like it and im glad we've got a chant for MP.

I like the tune but the words need tweaking.

I think the point comes in the second line. Besides when was the last time anybody actually marched anywhere on a football pitch ..? Crikey some people take themselves far too seriously
UpweySaint Posted 13 May, 2013 Posted 13 May, 2013 What's the man Utd version? I believe it is ... This is how it feels to be City, This is how it feels to be small, This is how it feels when your team wins nothing at all ...
Downthe36 Posted 13 May, 2013 Posted 13 May, 2013 What's the man Utd version? City sing This is how it feels to be City, this is how it feels to be small, you sign Phil Jones, we sign Kun Aguero, Kun Aguero Kun Aguero.
pingwing Posted 13 May, 2013 Posted 13 May, 2013 Gutted this took off when "he fought luke shaw and, luke shaw won" failed miserably.
kpturner Posted 13 May, 2013 Posted 13 May, 2013 Gutted this took off when "he fought luke shaw and, luke shaw won" failed miserably. Don't give up - it's better . Certainly better than "Luuuuuuuuuuuuke" like we are on some golf course somewhere.
pingwing Posted 13 May, 2013 Posted 13 May, 2013 I will never give up on the dream with this sort of encouragement
Saint Garrett Posted 13 May, 2013 Posted 13 May, 2013 Yeah that is a bit sh!t, didn't realise it was so close to their version. Oh well.
kpturner Posted 13 May, 2013 Posted 13 May, 2013 While we are on the subject, what is that chant the Chelsea fans sung over and over at St Mary's (both games)?
kpturner Posted 13 May, 2013 Posted 13 May, 2013 While we are on the subject, what is that chant the Chelsea fans sung over and over at St Mary's (both games)? Maybe "We don't care about Rafa He don't care about us All we care about Is Chelsea FC"
Saint Garrett Posted 13 May, 2013 Posted 13 May, 2013 There was something like, we're having a party when rafa ****s off..
UpweySaint Posted 13 May, 2013 Posted 13 May, 2013 I can only remember them singing champions of europe and chelllsea chellllllsea ... two great songs, one of which they wont even be able to sing next year.
kpturner Posted 13 May, 2013 Posted 13 May, 2013 There was something like, we're having a party when rafa ****s off.. The one I am thinking of was definitely "we don't care about...." Didn't sound like "Rafa" but I guess it must have been.
Lord Duckhunter Posted 14 May, 2013 Posted 14 May, 2013 You can't beat WTFILN for the skates. Sums it up totally, take a song of there's, and give it a twist. It works because its so close to the mark. I don't mind this new one, its ok , but id hate WTF to die out.
dubai_phil Posted 14 May, 2013 Posted 14 May, 2013 Don't give up - it's better . Certainly better than "Luuuuuuuuuuuuke" like we are on some golf course somewhere. Did someone mention golf? For us foreigners who can't hear it so well on TV what is the actual TUNE for those words? Can one of you hum it (or you tube it for us) Of just find Eric on the pitch Sunday with our flag and teach him. Cheers
Tokyo-Saint Posted 14 May, 2013 Posted 14 May, 2013 Get in the hole phil. This song would be a lot better if it was they've 'got' wittingham we've 'got'.... Or swap for the opo manager, like on sunday "you've got Pulis, we've got ponchittino."
SaintJackoInHurworth Posted 14 May, 2013 Posted 14 May, 2013 This is how it feels to be Pompey This is how it feels to be small You sign Whittingham, we sign Pochettino, Pochettino, Pochettino From what I could hear on Saturday at Sunderland, there seem to be several different versions of this song going round all with very slightly different words. Here are a couple of others: That's what it's like to be Pompey That's what it's like to be poor You sign Whittingham, we sign Pochettino, Pochettino, Pochettino OR Guess that's what it's like to be Pompey Guess that's what it's like to be poor You sign Whittingham, we sign Pochettino, Pochettino, Pochettino OR Guess what it's like to be Pompey Guess what it's like to be poor You sign Whittingham, we sign Pochettino, Pochettino, Pochettino Of those, I personally prefer the one in bold even though it's quite hard to get the words in! That having been said, I would prefer one that didn't focus on Pompey at all - why worry about some tin pot club in League 2? I would like some more positive words about Saints: This is what it's like to be Saints now, Moving up the Premier League Signing lots of players with our manager Pochettino, Pochettino, Pochettino!
Tokyo-Saint Posted 14 May, 2013 Posted 14 May, 2013 My first game of the season on Sunday. Our songs are awful and we have some proper mong fans. For the first time in 6 years, I won't be voting for Javi. This is my nomination for supporter of the year 2013 right here.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 14 May, 2013 Posted 14 May, 2013 I heard "this is how it feels to be Pompey" at Spurs and at Sunderland. There was a group on the train back from Spurs who sung "this is how it feels to be Pompey" incessantly and after about 10 minutes it began to get on my nerves. I wouldn't mind it so much if it was "wonder how it feels" or "tell us how it feels" or something. Watching Saints play decent football in the Premier League is nothing like what it feels to be Pompey! I know the Inspiral Carpets said "this is how it feels" but thats a song about depression and suicide and stuff, I'm sure we can alter the words slightly? We shouldn't have to copy Man Utd either...
