the marseillaise to be played before all pl games

[Nigels Tackle]

really?!

even more ridiculous is that we're having a minutes silence at our work xmas party next thursday (yes, an party in november!)

[Mase]

It's a bit much now in my opinion. It feels like it's being forced. A minutes silence before the match would be enough.

a bandwagon jumping pr exercise at it's fucking worst

A joke IMO. If the French players themselves can't be arsed with the song before games why the fuck do the powers that be think the fans attending Premier League games want to listen/sing along to it?

[london blue 2]

Armbands would have been fine. Black ones, not blow up orange ones.

Yes.

I know the number of French players in the PL is second only to the number of English according to the BBC, but how is this going to help them or the people in France? Are we going to play the anthem of a country every time it suffers an attack? We don't play God Save the Queen when bad stuff happens at matches here.

all about maximising sponsor exposure the 100s of channels that will be covering it. i think it's fucking disgusting.

How long before the dippers or the media mention Hillsborough,as they have suffered their own pain, as if the two are in any way related?

Hopefully he will at full time!

Miserable twats! I'm all for slagging the French as well as the PL but this is only 8 days ago on kick off and the first game back/opportunity to show respect, and anger.

Have your say, by all means, you could even do the CL style Booing if you feel it's a bit 'nuch'.

[LookMumImOnMCF.net]

Probs blame Sky, or the BBC, or The FA. Either way it's City's fault right lads. Lads?

[KinkyKinkladze]

I think it's obviously forced and totally unnecessary, a minute's silence for league football would've been perfect on its own. The international did a beautiful job by itself.

However, it's happening so I can go with it one more time.

[The Maine Man]

Who knows the words then? Going to be a quiet national anthem even with a kareoke version. At least the dippers will be able to empathise, the self righteous, self murdering twats.

[sheblue]

Mixed feelings about it, think that a minutes silence or applause would be more appropriate, but its not really a big deal.

Respecting others and what has happened in the last 7 days, those lives and the families will be fucked for ever, get a grip boys this is City.

it's not city though is it? it's the premier league. if you honestly think that there is no commercial motive behind this then you need to give your head a wobble.

The club has always lead the way in being decent human beings. I thinks with the French speaking players in our team and the dippers it works. Anyway its Friday fuck off.

Its a big solidarity stand against the fucking wankers that are doing this, its showing that what they are doing is bringing us together. If someone cant stand there for couple of minutes and listen to a bit of music as a stand against the vile actions of ISIS, then its a bit much. Yes broadcasters are milking it, but thats not what the point of this is.

I cant sing it as I dont know the words, but I will hum along, its a catchy tune.

The words are easy, repeat after me: bonbon, bon...bonbon, bon ( in a French accent )
