I know this has been mentioned before, but this thought frequents my mind almost every match. Supposing that it remains the Britannia after the merger (which by the way wont happen for at least another year - inside info ), it is the perfect song to be sung by a full stadium. Sung slowly and properly, it could be another string in our bow.

Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves! City never, never, never shall be slain.
When City first, at heaven's command, Arose from out the Victoria main, This was the charter of the land, And Guardian Angels sang this strain:
(Chorus)
The teams not so blest as thee Must, in their turn, to tyrants fall, While thou shalt flourish great and free: The dread and envy of them all.
(Chorus)
Still more majestic shalt thou rise, More powerful with each cry of Stoke, As the loud blast that tears the skies Serves but to root thy native bloke.
(Chorus)
Thee haughty tyrants ne'er shall tame; All their attempts to bend thee down Will but arouse thy generous flame, But work their woe and thy renown.
(Chorus)
To thee belongs the rural reign; Stoke City shall with commerce shine; All thine shall be the subject main, And every cup it enters, thine.
(Chorus)
The Muses, still with freedom found, Shall to thy happy pubs repair. Blest Brit! with matchless beauty crowned, And manly hearts to guard the fair.
(Chorus) Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves! City never, never, never shall be slain.
I like the chorus but it might be a bit long!

speaking of dickheads is Ilford still missing ??? I think he may actually have been the main one against it... In that arrogant, impolite and aggressive way he just shrugs everyone else's thoughts off...

I always thought the words similar to the following would go
Rule Britannia! The world is red and white And we 'ate Mancs because they are a Load of shite!
For Mancs substitute, Spurs, blues or similar, whoever we happen to be playing. If all else fails say Vale!

A lot longer than I realised. Maybe just the chorus which has been amended nicely by otley!
