Just read on Ceefax that Scouse band The Farm have been chosen to re-record their classic hit 'All Together Now' as the England squad`s official Euro 2004 song. That song was a Top 5 hit in 1990, & reached the Top 30 in 1995 when re-recorded with the Everton FC squad.

Personally, I think this is a bloody great choice for the England theme. 'All Together Now' is one of my all-time favourite singles, & deserves to be updated/heard again by a new generation of music & football fans.

No doubt therell be at least one person at NOOL wholl object to the Farm being given the task, but to you I say: Come On! It beats having that shower of bennys Blazin Squad record an anthem for our national team. Supposedly the Bullshit Squad were the original choice of the FA, so I think weve all had a lucky escape there, thanks to the FA`s change of heart.

The Farm RULE!!!

It was amusing to read that when they recorded the song with Everton most of the band members were regular visitors of the Spion Kop.:nuts:

Blazin Squad got asked first? :eek: Are you serious? I'd rather have The Farm do it than that bunch of losers!

:nonono: Heard it on R1 this morning.

What a waste of a fucking great song!

It darkens me memory of seeing em live at Elland Road 91. Mind you, they were fucking awful LIVE. Brilliant on vinyl though.

In fairness, I guess the Farm are at least Old Skool football fans, so deserve some credit for that.

Kevin Sampson's book where he follows Liverpool around for one season is absolute quality, very funny piece with him getting rugby tackled by security trying to get on the pitch when Mcmanamanamanaman scored THAT goal against Celtic..

Don't sound so upset that Bullshit Squad aren't recording the theme. They're a bunch of adolescent gobshites who don't deserve to record the theme to Scotland's annual Transvestitism Contest, let alone the official tune for Englands European Championship campaign :rolleyes:

Everyone who's anyone knows scousers invented everything worth inventing. Sampson and Hooton did The End, which begat other stuff.

Cockney yes but still a Liverpool fan. Spoony from the dreem team has remixed it rather than covered it, I think.

If you ever piss on my chips, I'll take a big, wild, stinking shit on your mothers home-made rhubarb crumble. :idea: Then I'd wipe my arse on all your tea-towels.

I believe The Farm are still involved somehow in the project (it is their song, after all), even though the main force behind it is Radio 1's DJ Spoony (what a cretinous name)

The XFM Euro 2004 CD should be a lot better than that Farm yard shite. Featured on the CD are two songs that won through to a radio knock out competition. The A side is a song called 'Born In England' an Oasis like anthem bound to please the fans as much as WIM. :clap:

Hey, jockstrap: 1995 called, & they want their Britpop back. There's always one neanderthal nitwit who puts a dampner on proceedings, & your today's chosen pissant.

Who the hell wants an Oasis-soundalike for Englands Euro 2004 anthem? No one with any functioning brain-cells has liked Oasis for the last 8 or 9 years now, & the last thing anyone wants is a bunch of guitar-wielding, shoe-staring bores put out a nasty song backed by a commercial radio station posing as an "alternative indie station"

How you can put this bunch of losers in the same class as NewOrder, or even the Farm & DJ Spoony is beyond me. You utter, utter reptile.

Reissue Reissue. Thank god New Order didn`t reissue WIM and call it EIM , reissues are a waste of time and energy, how unoriginal and uninspiring.

Er, no. New Order just reissued it two years ago and kept the same ber-luddy name!
