A song for Gwladys

Comments (8)

Merry Christmas, Blues!

I'm getting a bit a bored of blues slating and been abusive to one another in articles regarding Destination Kirkby... Can we have a bit more from blues who have a sense of humour, or who like me, favour a good banter about tactics? I love coming back to the city for that very reason, the good hearted crack.

I'm one for making up songs to sing in the Gwladys, I've got one on the go now, all contributions welcome to help me finish it off ? and go easy on the abuse. (I'm not bloody Elton John!)

It goes to the tune of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen; I'll be singing at the Boro (if you can call it singing!!):

Now come ye blues of Everton, let us get on our way.
For Felliani our saviour is playing on Boxing Day.
He's 6 foot 4 and going to score, a hat-trick we do say.
Here's hoping for 7 points over Xmas (I'll be happy with that) ? the wife's getting fed up of my mood swings due to EFC... COYB!

Dios mio Les - I’m packing to go the other way right now, but can offer a festive greeting -

’He’s 6 foot 4 and going to score, a hat-trick we do say
With his head or his feet, head or his feet, head or his feet,
And Howard’s gonna keep a clean sheet.’

Mucha suerte.

Les,

Hasn't anybody told you that we are getting relegated this year, we are in the most serious financial difficulties, have a terrible manager, a terrible board, poor squad, no money, no plan B and no right for optimism?

That aside though, I?ll gladly join you for a bevvy and sing anything you have! No doubt we will be called ?blind? etc. etc. but I agree 100% with you. In the face of adversity, it makes me want to support my team even more. After all, this when they need us most.

2nd Verse:
In Sale, In Manchester,
Big Phil Jageilka was born,
And one day he would be a blue,
with thy blessed jersey worn,
and hope his medial ligaments,
will never become torn:
O come on Jags, snap his legs,
snap his legs,
Don't let him fool you with nutmegs.

Not bad, Les, but I?ll be in the Park End singing Blue Christmas by Elvis: "We?ll have a blue blue christmas"

We?ll have a blue blue christmas a?with you
We??re all so blue and thinking of you
The backline will keep a sheet that?s so clean, just wait and see
And goals from Arteta and Cahill, 2 or 3
We?ll have a blue christmas that?s certain
when those blue blue boys start scorin?
You?ll be laughing alright
at that sad bunch of redshite
but we?ll have a blue christmas a?with you

How’s about this.

Everton Everton Everton

Happy Christmas, Everton

Leave the fancy songs to those fashionable types over the park. Or are they on the park yet? ;-)

The football is important, not the amount of songs they know.

Humbug, or Everton Mint. You decide...

We used to sing a song to God Rest ye Merry Gentlemaen, so it?s a fail from me for being unoriginal!!!

But how about reviving more of our old Chritmas hits? Jingle Bells, Come all ye faithful, We wish you a merry Christmas, On the first day of Christmas, God rest ye merry kopite men, Hark now hear the Toffees sing, Bobby Latchford walks on Water...

Anymore Everton Now this is Xmas Hits out there? Any versions of Away in a Manger for example?

Jingle Bells got sung about 8 times in a row after the final wistle at Man City, let's just hope it will get going against Chelsea as well!
