rudemedic Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 It sounds like our fans sing, "Up the football here we go". But I'm questioning if that's my hearing, as what I've always sung was "Up the football league we go." The other doesn't seem to make sense. Or has the air of Roger Nouveau about it. Any one else know of any lyrics they've 'misheard'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jorvik_latic Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) Not misheard but wrong words - ‘We all play in blue and tangerine’. No ‘we all’ don’t. ‘Oldham play in blue and tangerine’.

That sounds like a group of posh boys in the sponsors lounge, quaffing champagne. . We score. . Oh bloody marvellous, up the football! (Grabs his drink) Here we go!

ghostofcecere Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 It’s always been “up the football league”! And Oldham play in blue and tangerine, “we all” makes no sense whatsoever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Og Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Since when were song lyrics supposed to make sense? Have a crack at A Whiter Shade of Pale., even the bloke who wrote it admits he has no idea what it's about. The industrial intake of LSD may have been a factor though.

Simpo Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 As a young boy, I thought "Joe Royle's bluenwhitearmy!" was "Joe Royle's boys are it!" for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League one forever Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 When singing Keep the blue flag flying high I still to this day don’t know one bit properly. So i sing- We’ll keep the blue flag flying high, flying high up in the sky, WE’ll FACE THE FALL WHEREVER WE GO. (Wtf does that even mean???) We’ll keep the blue flag flying high. Every time I know it’s wrong. I hate myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplythemostimportantkick Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 The words don’t really matter as long as we keep on making plenty of noise. I don’t imagine the opposition fans sitting there saying “ but we don’t play in blue or tangerine, this lot don’t make any sense Bryan “ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddot_m Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 As an 8 year old I thought “Joe Royle’s blue and white army” was “Joan, Joan and Tony”. Still can’t quite get it out of my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsPete Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 7 hours ago, jorvik_latic said: Not misheard but wrong words - ‘We all play in blue and tangerine’. No ‘we all’ don’t. ‘Oldham play in blue and tangerine’. In the 60s, when Latics did play in those colours, the song was “Our team plays in blue and tangerine”. Sung on Barlow coaches, in the Chaddy End, and on away terraces. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
