Well if we get back to the top division you can change them again! :lolol: In the meantime, weren't you the one (post #17) saying the words should be 'relevant'?
Exactly. It was a one-off change (I sang it on Cup Final day at Wembley as well) but it has made absolutely no sense since 1983. Therefore my point stands.
We did of course try and modernise the words once before, or rather Norman Wisdom did. All that survives of that attempt is the "Oh we're going up AND WE'LL win the Cup" couplet. (Still hear the odd moron with no understanding of English singing "going up TO win the Cup, but I digress).
It IS...
