Are We Alex McLeish's Claret & Blue Army Now?

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

So we beat Bristol Rovers but was it exciting? We were playing a third division team (in old money) you would not have thought we were a Premiership side on that performance. If Rovers had played for 90 mins like they did in the final 7 mins we could have had more problems.

Another point regarding McLEISH  - Past managers have always had the fans "sing their name" including all of the past recent managers but how come no one dares sing for McLEISH? You all know my feelings by now on AM but I am currently looking at it from a different angle (for a few mins anyway) if people don't have the same opinion as me then why no singing for the manager? Is it because more people fel the same?

I don't remember many DOL songs nor come to think of it Houllier ones either. Come on Darren, you've got to do better than that.

To be fair even DOL's Claret & Blue Army was a chant.  The point of the Original Post was that after the win over Chelsea were we now ready to sing "Mcleish's Claret & Blue Army".

I remember the following song...

"Theres only one king Billy that's McNeil..."

Or did I dream that one?

[Pete3206]

I seem to remember "We don't want you any more!" for McNeil at Selhurst Park, when we played Charlton Athletic. Christ that was grim. Other than that it was 'Billy, Billy give us a wave" at Villa Park.

No, I remember that one, too.

fuck me, even that monkey's scrotum David O'Leary had a chant. Either we were just stupid back then or people are being really unfair about McLeish.

To be fair for the second half of his second season, we were excellent under O'Leary.  I can't see a similar improvement happening under McLeish.

Wasn't it his first season when we looked decent for a few months?

I remember a rendition of "big fat ron's claret n blue army" that went on during the whole of half time during an away game at the Baseball Ground

I just can't get motivated to shout for McL yet

Pah! Just for halftime

Everton Away 89/90 - whole of half time and all the second half
Liverpool FA Cup away 91/92 - whole of half time and quite a bit of the second half

There are tales of 2 blokes doing this for the whole game including half time at some long forgotten away game in the early 90's but i wasn't there so it may just be an "old wives tale".

Half-time and through much of the second half. Derby 1990. it was Joszef Venglos' then.

If I am not mistaken (and please correct me if I am wrong) I doubt it as I am never wrong but the fans did attempt to sing Houllier's name a few times last season it was just that he didn't actually understand what we were singing (McCallister had to nudge him ) If I'm not mistaken. I'm sure the RT Hon Sir will correct me or maybe admit I was actually correct in saying that the fans DID sing for Houllier........

Surely you must have heard a few songs? My point being (once again) that AM has not had one song chanted yet and never will.
