Besides, Man City already use that same dry Beatles tune, singing City instead of Geordies, as do Brentford and Millwall, and none of these are clubs that Id really like to have any association with whatsoever. "There were spice stalls and monkey showsAnd owld wives selling cidersAnd a chap on a ha'penny roundabootSaying, "Noo me lads for riders?". On this occasion, it will probably be let go and Newcastle fans will be happy to see Almiron loving the celebrations. The loan for Jennifer was set up on May 25, 2022 and approved today. Congratulations Yvonne Hernandez-Tellez and US MORTGAGE LENDERS LLC! Rafa Benitez put on record that keeping the majority of these players in the PL ranked as one of his greatest achievements in his long and distinguished career..

Even more recently, on the continent, Ajax have adopted Bob Marleys 3 Little Birds as an anthem. Alan Shearer is the greatest player in Newcastle United history, so it's only right that the Geordies had a chant to sing for each of the 206 goals he scored in black and white.
Weighed down by pigeonholes and perceptions from his youth, the feeling quickly became mutual for Saint-Maximin. Both are decent songs and will always make the listener think of NUFC. A song played by buskers standing in the rain under Greys monument, and on the car stereos of cabbies ferrying drinkers home from a night on the tiles. Newcastle United cannot replicate what Liverpool have with that particular song, but thats not to say that we cant still find a way of expressing solidarity with each other, with the the team, and with the city, by finding something that encapsulates who we are and what supporting Newcastle means. The Geordie Boot Boys!For we are mental! Another example of a fantastic football anthem is Sunshine on Leith, sung by the fans of Hibernians. The players are waiting in the tunnel. Youll Never Walk Alone is the epitome of a great footballing anthem. Have something to tell us about this article? I dont rate the vast majority of what passes for a #NUFC squad right now. I dont think the parents in the crowd would be happy to let their kids sing Some of the shit in the 2nd verse of Geordie In Wonderland!! That connection mattered, especially with one of the few bright sparks they had in the darker times. Something that will always remind us of this period, when we not only were we finally released from 14 years of life under Mike Ashleys thumb, but also when possibility, hope and belief became a part of being a Newcastle fan once again. As he came off the pitch, Kieran Trippier clearly loved it as well, as he pointed at Almiron with a smile as he approached the tunnel. All rights reserved. But when you envision this beautiful image, what do you hear?
What is Newcastle Uniteds anthem? A number of his songs very nearly fit the bill, and could potentially be slightly adapted to work as Newcastle United anthems. On Thursday night, if hed checked his social media, hed have received a raft of unfair criticism and accusations following a rather flat defeat.
The Toon Army obviously love Newcastle United, but that doesn't stop them from giving a quick reminder at every home game. COLOSSUS and COLOSSUSBETS are registered trademarks of Colossus (IOM) Limited. An anthem is a song for which the words dont need to be changed.
Fare Thee Well Northumberland Mark Knopfler. Excellent articlebut Youll Never Walk Alone wasnt written by a Liverpudlian band.
My main concern about having a musician write something new is that it will be in a specific style, probably self indulgent and with only a brief chorus which can be picked up in the stands. However,as mentioned above, neither quite fits the bill when it comes to properly capturing what it means to follow this magnificent football club. However, from the gathered Scouse support, someone starts singing a very familiar tune, one bound up in the history of Liverpool, the lyrics to which are written on their shirts and on the gates to Anfield. This is what its all about for Newcastle United fans. For the first time in a long time, such a scene doesnt seem beyond the realms of possibility. A song that one day, the fans might possibly even serenade to an open top-bus heading down the Barrack Road.
Guimaraes was in fine form once again for the Toon and delivered when it mattered, heading in a late winner to all but ensure Newcastle will be playing Premier League football next season. Its important, too, to note that a club anthem does not have to be a good song. The same crucial ingredients are there; a simple tune, words that everyone knows, and a hook in the chorus where the tannoy music cuts out, and everyone in the stadium belts out: Its a shockingly bad song, but it works. For we are mad!For we're the loyalistfootballsupporters!The world has ever had! Saint-Maximin has made clear his awareness of the souring feeling towards him by posting on Instagram about how quickly people forget, but has made it his mission to prove everybody wrong. It is their anthem, and the words and the message behind the song could not be clearer, and could not be more inspiring. Congratulations Kimberly Gardner and US MORTGAGE LENDERS LLC! They just want players to put in good performances, work hard, and then enjoy being at the club.

Its the Champions League semi-final at St James Park, and the stadium is packed to the rafters. Suddenly, having previously accepted that his potential was destined to be fulfilled elsewhere during the Ashley years, there is a debate over his place at Newcastle as they go on to better things. That and Local Hero is perfect. Scotlands recent upturn in form (and return to an actual international finals tournament) has been accompanied, bizarrely, by the 1977 disco classic Yes Sir, I Can Boogie which completely breaks the mould for an appropriate anthem but still works so well.
With Saint-Maximin in the team, there was reason to watch; for Steve Bruce, the final manager of the Ashley era, who some would say was most representative of its many negative traits, he was a shield and a protector. Surely there could be no better time to adopt a new song, to mark this moment in history.
As an alternative, Wildhearts singer/ guitarist Ginger solo song Caer Urfa might possibly be a better fit? Looking at existing club anthems, very few are club specific, Blowing Bubbles, ZCars , YNWA, so many anthems are adapted. Saint-Maximin has used his love affair with supporters as fuel; that lack of existential scrutiny helped bring out the best in him; signed by a regime which actively encouraged players to leave for a good price, he has stayed for the fans, vocalising what they deserve. Not a Geordie song or anything to do with the region, but would work well as a football anthem for a club starved of success for a very long time. Issues with defending or working hard were nothing new, but they never cared because so long as they were entertained. Ameobi is one of Newcastle's longest-tenured players right now, and as a result, fans have become quite attached to the Nigerian. The discussion surrounding match day music and club anthems does seem to be one that everyone has an opinion on. JoyDivision Otherwise Going Home (Theme from Local Hero) holds my vote. For so long, he was the game plan; the aim was to stay in the game, feed Saint-Maximin and watch on in hope. #NUFC pic.twitter.com/ud0vpMmTVF. The Tyne-Wear derby is one of the most hotly contested derbies in football, so it's no surprise that both Liam O'Brien and Andy O'Brien's goals in respective games against Sunderland are still remembered fondly today.
Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud said it gives him goosebumps when he hears Gooners use his name in the song, but after hearing a few different versions, talkSPORT is asking whose is the best. The closest thing Ive found to an ideal Newcastle United anthem, ready for the terraces. Other clubs may have their own versions of the song, but this will always be the original. Team should come out to nothing but gutteral roars from the crowd, just like they used to before manufactured atmospheres took over football stadiums. Bruce gave him the freedom to play as he pleased, often speaking about the concessions he would make in order to get a tune out of Saint-Maximin in spite of his complexity. However, those who provide the flags to the home end might not be overly impressed with a certain Miguel Almiron, who took it upon himself to take one #around the pitchand then down the tunnel! Cheers. What had been clung to as the only source of positivity gradually felt tolerated; for all the flashes of brilliance were roared on like before, each flaw in the French wingers game has been magnified and inflated until they have become major issues within themselves. The gap between Newcastle Uniteds two Premier League encounters with Everton was just over five weeks, but for Allan Saint-Maximin, they were worlds apart. Great piece this. E-I-E-I-E-I-OUp the Premier League we go,When we get to Europe,This is what we'll sing,We are Geordies, super Geordies,Pardew is our King. I particularly like Hearts, Hearts, Glorious Hearts at Tynecastle.

He thrived on the responsibility, and the reception from a fanbase with a track record for taking Gallic flair to their hearts without judgement. You hear it and you immediately think of that team. GRV Media Ltd, 18 Mulberry Avenue, Widnes. But with a new era comes new expectation and a different emphasis.
Looking at a more modern and mainstream possibility, Sam Fenders appearance at the takeover celebrations, and subsequent unforgettable morning after outing on the BBC Breakfast sofa have made him an immediate legend of the city. Similarly randomly, Newcastles 1999 FA cup run was unofficially soundtracked by the New Radicals You Get What You Give, which was at the time a regular fixture on BBC Radio Newcastle, and could be heard elsewhere on a daily basis across the length and breadth of the city. Hours 8AM 6PM Mon FriLicensed in FL, GA, AL, TX, SC, NC. Ideally Id like that to be Local Hero, but to be honest anything other than Hey Jude would make me happy. Blitzkrieg Bop, O Fortuna, Going Home (or Local Hero as its commonly known) different versions of The Blaydon Races, and more recently Hey Jude have all been given outings, but each of these has had its critics among the Geordie match-goers.
How about just getting a decent version of the Blaydon races as the present one is pitiful? Its played before every game and although it may seem an unusual choice, with no obvious direct connection between the song, the artist, the club and the city, it has become so synonymous that Ajax have this season released a special edition Bob Marley 3 Little Birds kit. On a far flung shore, with a depleted side, under a relatively new manager, they trail 3-0 in the Champions League final to European giants AC Milan. Of course, this will be taken in good jest by Newcastle fans. Unforgettable moment. The loan was set up and approved on May 19, 2022. Our House Madness. Nevertheless it has been adopted for one reason or another by a certain set of fans, and has become synonymous with that club. Allan Saint-Maximin should be judged fairly, not by hearsay, assumption and hastily-concluded thoughts. It usually has a simple tune and doesnt necessarily refer to football, or sport at all. Football chants are not exclusive to one club and a number have staked claims for the Beatles song, Hey Jude. Liverpool FC are in a mess.
However its impossible to ignore the fact that a new chapter in the long rambling story of Newcastle United has now begun, and one way or another the club is about to embark on a memorable journey. Myself and everyone at True Faith would love to hear your suggestions for a new club anthem, please stick them in the comments below. Personally, I think the time is ripe, and if the right song comes along it could be absolutely magical.

Hell no doubt give the flag back to its owners in the end but the Toon Army will love to see him being so involved in the celebrations. Right now though Im more interested in how we keep the tension from the stands from affecting the players in the last 15 minutes, preferably by roaring and screaming at every block, tackle or hoof into row Z. Weve done it in the past, and just like YNWA could rouse Liverpool to fight, we need to find a voice to drive the team to see a game out.
Something more poetic, invigorating and poignant than Na na na na na na Geordies. Local Hero is an anthem.
A beautiful ballad but lacks the ability to inspire or excite. But one of the big discussion points on Twitter in recent weeks among fans has been certain supporters taking flags home after games without permission. 10 x GLOSSY PAPERBACK SUBSCRIPTION/ISSUES OF TRUE FAITH FANZINE 30, A heady mix of Newcastle United, retro & history, football experiences from around the globe and also in our own NE non-league backyard#NUFC, True Faith: Newcastle United Fanzine and Podcast (@tfNUFC) January 17, 2022. Picture the scene. (Id take it any day ahead of any of the above). How often do people have an excuse to get together in such numbers and sing about pride in each other and their city? Already a bit of a takeover anthem thanks to the Wor Flags display in the game v Spurs, but too long, wordy and slow to really catch on. Given their lack of control over the situation, fans were right there too, willing and praying for him to produce some magic. And so, egged on by baseless and unhelpful speculation about his mindset, mentality, attitude and actions, there is a sense of resentment growing towards Saint-Maximin. Some even suggest that it was that same belief, spilling out onto the pitch and to the players, inspired through song, that was the main factor in their team going on to turn the game around, and delivering one of the most famous comebacks in European footballing history. Other anthems likewise seem to mark specific memorable moments in a teams history. A song that can be sung at bars around town, and at the back of coaches on long away days. The atmosphere is electric.
Perhaps the reason You Get What You Give never became a permanent fixture at St James Park was the lack of sing-along-ability, or maybe its just because the way in which that cup run ended is best forgotten. Thats a one-day approval! Mike Ashleys pond was a paradox, simultaneously existing as a self-effacing and a tumultuous institution; there was very little joy, flair or hope involved. Given the nazi connections of O Fortuna, would be very happy never to hear it again. There is a rich history of music and musicians from across the north-east, and songs dating back decades have been written remindingus, and the world beyond, of the solid foundations upon which the city was built. Apart from a frustrating high note in the chorus, which basically rule it out as a possibility. More rumbling and momentous than passionate and hopeful, its a blues song so the tune is relatively simple. This chant may be simple, but it's effective and often gets multiple stands joining in to take the separate parts. Almirn walking off with one of the flags! It is a showing of strength from a mass group of people, and Youll Never Walk Alone epitomises that so well that other teams including Celtic and Borussia Dortmund have also adopted it. Newcastle United have some of the best fans in the Premier League, and as a result, they have some of the best fan chants, too. Fans sang Hey Jude and flags were being waved by the bucket load as Guimaraes and co celebrated in front of the home faithful. Considering Newcastle's qualification for the Europa League under Alan Pardew last season, this song is pretty apt. In your case, it was a same-day approval. The game is as good as done, and it looks set to be one of the most chastening and humiliating nights in their history. Another of the UKs most famous football anthems is West Hams Im Forever Blowing Bubbles a quite ridiculous nursery rhyme of a song, the adoption of which only seems more bizarre when you discover that its association with the Hammers stems from a player almost a century ago who was nicknamed Bubbles. While nobody is immune to criticism and he has never been perfect, the situation he finds himself in is unfair and undeserved. Under Eddie Howe, the players certainly seem to be doing that right now. The loan for Erick was set up on May 24, 2022 and approved today. Everyone in the world already knows that Geordies are the the most loyal, most passionate and loudest fans around, so imagine how it would sound if we were all singing from the same hymn sheet.
Individualism, which many people would say best describes Saint-Maximin, suddenly became secondary. Probably the local lads most famous single, the drums and guitar build a fantastic momentum that could be beautiful pre-match, but its nigh on impossible to sing along to en masse, and the lyrics are very ill-fitting. Ooh ah!) or slag off an opponent (Sunderlands a shithole, I want to go home), an anthem is something entirely different.
A crucial part of a club anthem is having the fans sing along, or better, sing unaccompanied. Congratulations Malina Rojas and US MORTGAGE LENDERS LLC!
St. James' Park is always rocking with a number of songs the Geordies like to sing, and even at away games you can hear the Toon Army singing their hearts out. Including favourites such as "Blaydon Races" and "Howay the Lads," I'm going to take you through Newcastle's top 10 fan chants. We love Newcastle, we doWe love Newcastle, we doWe love Newcastle, we doOh, Newcastle we love you. Whether or not we do need a new anthem, and what that song should be, is up for debate. Its about hopes, dreams and friendship (although you can interpret any song however you perceive it). It has a simple tune and can easily be sung by fans alone, unaccompanied. It was all they had, but they loved him for it. Istanbul.

Nice one over the tannoy as fans fill the stadium but cant imagine it being sung by thousands. Cracking read though.. Join the TF digital media team season 22/23. Blaydon Races is without doubt the go-to chant for the Toon Army.
Since October, when the club went through its big change as they floundered winless in the Premier League, the message has been one of collective work ethic, striving to improve and go far as one; Eddie Howe, the man who replaced Bruce as manager, has used that as his mantra. A lot can happen in a day. The stage is set.
The Great Leap Forward Summer 22 Keep, peddle or the jurys out? Not only was it written by a Liverpudlian band, but it is also an anthem for the city itself, becoming a powerful and moving beacon of solidarity among those who continue to fight for justice for those lives tragically lost at the Hillsborough disaster. It has a hook a line that everyone knows and even if youre unclear on the rest of the lyrics, you almost cant help but sing along to the hook: Walk on, walk on Perhaps most poignantly, the song has historical connections to Liverpool beyond football.

Nevertheless, head to YouTube and watch the video of it being sung as the final whistle goes at the last ever game at the old Boleyn Ground, a 3-2 victory over Man Utd. It ticks every box. As anyone from Bamburgh to Barnard Castle will tell you, what is a club in any case? This again is a song with a simple tune, with a direct association to the region, and with a fantastic hook leading into a chorus that everyone knows: While Im worth my room on this earth, I will be with you. Oh, when the MagsGo marching InOh, when the Mags go marching inI want to be in that numberOh, when the Mags go marching in.
