Are people still getting the lyrics wrong? I remember at Cardiff a number of dumb asses were singing 'I pray' rather than up front? As for swearing being a linguistic art form. Not any longer, I being of a certain age remember when you could be standing at a bus stop with mates next to a couple of old dears and shock them with some bad language. Now its so commonplace that its more likely to be the old dears effing and jeffing.Swearing has lost its shockability. The english language is in great need of a new word to replace the much overused fuck. "Palacios" works for me but it is, maybe, a bit too long!

You are cool with your 13 year old using the C bomb? What he says at school is his business (but if caught and got a dressing down thats fair enough), but he doesnt use that language in front of me, his mum, in the house or at football! I also try my very hardest not to in front of him - the odd slip happens (especially at Stoke), we are only human, but its not an ongoing tirade as some people seem incapable of speaking without swearing
My dad would have battered me - I still felt awkward swearing in front of him (even 'low level' swearing - and it was still a no no at home) after I was 18!
Perhaps thats just me :-)
In the rank of swearing effing/bastarding has become less of a taboo, but for large parts of society the C word is still not acceptable, and from a kid its horiffic! The lads who play football for me (u13s) slip up occassionally and I bollock them, its not something I want to hear from their mouths. Am sure that will get worse in the next 2-3 years though!

It's just a sound to be fair. If you think about why the word might be offensive, it's mostly because it's simply a harsh sounding word. Of course, I'm always careful not to use that sort of language round people who might be offended, or people who feel uncomfortable with it, but I personally don't see a huge issue with 'language'. Just like shouting 'toast' at a game. Except it's not toast.

"Toast" would be a great word to shout at someone They would be well confused
I use the words Twat and Fanny quite a lot as derogatory terms, Twat in particular is one of my favourites, I have no idea why thats not frowned upon but the C bomb is when they mean the same thing Must be the harshness of it as you say!

It is so much better when we can sing these songs in front of our children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, mothers grandmothers etc oh yes, and in front of any Police Cuntstables. As is the same for some of the pointless and needles extra bad language on here. Our dictionary is vast, we should make use of it. Oh and yes, I DO KNOW THAT - C YOU NEXT TUESDAY - is included in some

I remember taking my son to see Stoke, he was 9, he was singing " Wayne Rooney, your a wanker" I was watching him he sang it 4 or 5 times, when he saw me watching he changed it to " la la la la la la la la, I turned away laughingl my tits off........ I know it's wrong, but it was funny..
I told him off after the game, saying it was wrong and he shouldn't swear, to which is reply was " I thought it was ok cos you called the red a c@@t.....!!!!!!!
I slapped him put my arm around him and walked home.

I reckon we should extend it. The "Sing Hosanna" would fit perfectly with "Odemwingie".
Still it's impressive enough that we've managed to get a chant going with more than two words I suppose, when you consider that 'Abdoulaye my Lord' was too complicated to be sung correctly.

I thought it was just me who thought this song was a step too far, so it's good to know I'm not on my own.
What's more I doubt that explicit language would be much appreciated by Peter himself, particularly as he is a father of young children. I can't remember him ever smiling at the current song, yet I do distinctly recall him grinning from ear to ear when we sung the old "Doo Doo Doo, Peter Odemwingie" tune.
One final thought, and I suspect I am in the minority here, but I don't much like to see us turning on former players either. I actually have some good memories of Kenwyne. He had his flaws, but as has been pointed out many times before, if he'd been perfect, he wouldn't have been at Stoke.

I don't have a 13 year old thank god, however as my owd man did with me, if i do have a son, he'll be welcome to sing any song with any words he likes at the football... if i caught him using it out of the ground for anything less than a leg brake, i'd clip him round the ear hole yes but i've grown up to be a respectful, educated member of society even after saying all sorts on the Boothen. Now down the pub with my mates i'll use that same language but i know when i should and shouldn't thanks to my owd mans way of teaching. Stephen Fry say's it best.... It's not about shocking people either, though if they choose to be... so be it.
