If you're going to the England game try and get the chorus going in the stands

Well at least they were honest without being nasty, they did pay them a compliment. They probably would have done a better job

Sure, i don't think there was any malice involved, as far as i know they get on. Maybe their pub rock would have suited a football song better.

i don't think they would've come up with a better chorus which is the most important part. The verses are a bit clunky

You obviously not listened to them for years as they haven't done anything like 'pub rock' for a long time!

Who the hell is that guy who said it anyway? He must be to the Stereophonics what Wayne Murray is to the Manics.

Bit of a fan? Fair enough. They're not for me. Local boy in the pic is still one of my favourite tracks of any band though so there's that...

I've only heard the song once when they very obligingly performed on The One Show just as I was tuning in for Eastenders. My sporting interest starts and stops at Wimbledon & the swimming at the Olympics. I love the band I do but James is infamous for not always being decipherable....problematic with an anthem....I remember the c'mon Wales line so they've probly cracked it.

Saw just now on the Manics twitter a few short video clips of this song but it had footage from the Swansea gig added to the video... was this gig filmed for a possible DVD / Blu Ray release does anyone know? I hope so!!!!

This is the worst Manics single in their entire career.

Trite, nonsensical lyrics. And a half decent backing ruined by old sports reports that are utterly meaningless to near enough every non Welsh person.

EVERYTHING MUST GOAL!
