We're by far the greatest team the world have ever seen

[Legion]

“Villa have been a great club, are still a great club, and always will be a great club.” - Frederick Rinder, 1936.

Anyone who says otherwise can fuck off.

I had to have words with an Everton-supporting friend yesterday on this topic.

In the original song, we didn't sing 'team', it was just 'we're by far the greatest, the world's ever seen.'

In the original song, we didn't sing 'team', it was just 'we're by far the greatest, the world's ever seen.'

But that doesn't even rhyme!

Is the correct answer.......but only in the same way that parents can criticise their own children and no one else can.

Well said Legion.

"F.C" rhymes with "seen".
Also, it scans better. Team always felt crammed in and annoys me.

Watford fans used to sing `Watford FC...Watford FC OK'. I was so embarrassed for them.

[Rico]

Yep. We are by far the greatest......the world has ever seen!"

I used to prefer it when we sang it like that. It sounded better, and was unique. All the other teams seemed to add the word "team" to it. We were different! Lets get back to being unique!

And it's Aston Villa, Aston Villa FC
We're by far the greatest the world's ever seen.

Listen for it on the 71 LCF record / video.

I never thought about rhyming but 'team' doesn't rhyme with 'seen' either.

Behave - it's not far off!  We're talking about football fans here, not the Poet Laureate!

Quote is from a bit before my time but has held true for several decades now and will remain so for several more, I hope, before they see me out!
