You'll never take the east end
i didnt know whether to post this in football or off topic, so feel free to move it.
i'm sure you've all seen snippets on social media. New club song. I think its quite wonderful.

So they have a right to be pissed off if it mischaracterises who they are.
But a bigger fear is this seems to have club backing as the bloke was at a club sponsored event at the Boleyn playing this and a video of it was widely shared. There’s a suspicion that it will start being played at the club and pushed in a corporate style rebranding of the club in the way Arsenal did with that dirge they commissioned to be played at games.
If that happens then that will only alienate the fan base further. Made up new songs is fine for clubs with not much soul or identity like Arsenal but not for West Ham.

Not really my thing but absolute respect to the guy for creating, doing what he loves and putting it out there knowing that the world is full of cunts who just want to knock you for having the audacity to create something that might not be your cup of tea.

Re: You'll never take the east end
Nope, not for me, its utterly cringeworthy. Unfortunately its just a reflection on modern society (which is shit) where the sole aim, in this case anyway, isn't to promote West Ham but for cuntbook, twatter and instatcunt views.
This song can fuck off, its bad enough being at the toilet bowl let alone having a song like this utter shit 'representing' us

A reflection of today's fan-base...soft and wanky. Give me the Cockney Rejects any day.

Only Trevor Brooking, silly old cսnt - what was he thinking.
I hope it gets a few plays over there tonight.
All together now
Going out on a limb despite all the banter I rate this tune and the sentiment! The culture will never die….vould get Olivia Dean to do a cover….⚒

Re: You'll never take the east end
It's a bit cold play/nu Arsenal and the whoo whoo bit at the end is a bit cringe.
Geezers got a good voice mind
Should have done the bad manners tatty song.
