And even if you don't like it, it is still a thousand zillion times better than any "You Jack Barsteward" or anti English stuff (especially when we have had so many English players playing for us over the years ffs) chanted and sung by our more moronic chavvie element
Bob Marley eh ! Well I never. Who would have believed it ? My point is about context. I never said I didn't like it as a song. Is it going to inspire the City to greater things when sung ? It is not the sort of song that can be sung with gusto and when it is sung it seems to me it doesn't come over as something that is going to get the blood running of the City players. When it is sung during a game when we are 2 down ( as against Man C.) it always seems to me we are saying that we have given up and never mind as we will be back to support you next time.

However, I do agree with you about the anti-Swansea/English stuff. I never thought that knowing what goes on in the Swansea Slums was ever going to get the likes of Kenwyne Jones to pull his finger out and is even more irrelevant when there are no Swansea fans present to goad.
