    I'm not talking about your standard &quot;we are going up&quot;, or &quot;EiEiEiO&quot; etc. I've heard a few tonight at Bristol City. Palace fans singing &quot;Hark now hear the Palace sing&quot;, even going on about some rival running away on boxing day. Can't quite work out which one, but are they just nicking a song and swapping the rival from our neighbours in Sheffield? Pretty coincidental if they had a famous row with a rival on a boxing day worth singing the same song about.</p>

    But the one that really gets me is City's &quot;We'll never die, we'll never die, we'll keep the red flag flying high&quot;. Do they actually realise they're singing a song about the fatalities from the Munich air disaster. My guess is not, the words just happen to pretain to a side playing in red which is obviously enough for them.</p>

    I never associated that song with Man Utd

    Its a socialist song. Associated with labour here till 86 when they replaced the red flag with a red rose as their symbol and stopped singing the song

    You were8 in 1986 but still know the background?</p>

    As if you knew that before reading that Wiki page. Pfft</p>

    Anyway my initial point was valid- might not be the originalversion of the song but Utd do sing a version about Munich, and Bristol used the same words last night</p>
