I'm gonna go ahead and suggest it possibly was not intended to be geographically accurate on inception.

Quite probably true, but that brings us to the question of what it WAS intended to be?

An ironic pisstake of their size/position in relation to their rivals probably.

I went to Istanbul, never saw Norman Gall.

Swimming in Black Rock pool, Norman wasn't there.

Sitting on the Isle of Wight ferry, where was he?

Popped into Tescos, no sign of him

I live surrounded by northern folk. Most of whom are quite clean, and were generally born to parents who were married at the time.

If the ball really did hit the net like a f--king rocket, that would presume a speed of 17,600mph which would almost certainly break the net. Even Bobby Zamora's most vicious strikes never managed this, notching an estimated 100 mph on impact.

In the long history of football, many many players have shot and scored. A miniscule fraction of these were called Peter Ward.

Never felt more like singing the blues.....surely you sing the blues when your woman has left you or the dog has died, not on a joyous occasion like when we win and palace lose......makes no sense to me that one.

It makes sense for teams who are known as "the blues", such as Chelsea, whom I suspect we borrowed it from.

Those floating balls of air continously being ejected must mean a serious health problem - better see a doctor Hammers fans.

I suspect that when we win promotion I will pass out from too many beers before day break and be unable to be still singing about the lack of a hat on our keeper.

I've walked alone many times - I'd find it a bit freaky to be permanently surrounded by people.

And, for the benefit of Plymouth fans, Brighton is NOT up north

i once saw a woman wheeling her wheel barrow through streets broad and narrow chanting Brighton but don't think it was Molly.

And when we started singing this, Brighton was not even a 'fair city' - only a town. This would have led to a difficulty in scanning, and the rhyming would have taken us in a totally different direction.
Also nowadays there is no town to have a knees-up in.

We know who the man from Argentina is.
He does not score a goal a game.
We did not stop mentioning Murray.
However, most of us do adore him.

I'm fairly sure Palace players have never disguised themselves in another team's kit and played a game against us.

On the other hand, pointing at the seagulls that fly around the Amex mid-match and chanting 'Seagull, seagull' is factually correct and possibly even informative to some people

I think that at least one fan supporting the opposing club did not in fact smell. But possibly only one.

I never really did smell farts rising from the away end at the Goldstone and they didn't smell like f*****g hell. Now the loos behind the North stand..thats a different matter.

Mr Rougvie was quite an aggressive chap on the pitch but I'm not entirely sure he actually is evil.

Mr Crumplin was a competent lower league footballer but probably doesn't have a Mensa level IQ or massive knowledge of Association Football.

Tonight I witnessed John Barnes say the words "Jonny Crumplin football genius"

Bubbles was Michael Jackson's pet monkey, so perhaps only he could legitimately claim the words of the song were accurate, although 'forever' is probably exaggerating a bit - he would have needed time to fit in various sessions of plastic surgery and stuff.
