Bertie Bee said

[cricketfieldclarets]

**** all to Bill Shankly.

Just saying.

[Wile E Coyote]

just in case there is the remotest chance you are not kidding, it was of course Bertie Mee.

[Bordeauxclaret]

Ha

[cricketfieldclarets]

Bloke next to me. As loud as he can today.

BERTIE BEE SAID TO BILL SHANKLY HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE LONGSIDE BURNLEY?

Fully grown man.

I dont think ive been that angry at a match since Watford in the quarter final!

[Bin Ont Turf]

It's time that you and the 'Ultras' came up with words to replace the original ones.

Perhaps it should be Bertie Bee, as it's a well outdated song.

Maybe he couldn't be arsed singing it all, so cut things down. X Factor do it all the time.

I quite like the idea of the following to the tune of Prince Charming, by Adam and The Ants :-

Michael Keane!
Michael Keane!
Stephen Ward, Ben Mee and Matty Lowton!!

40 next week, showing my age with the choice of tune, most kids will never have heard it!

[Wile E Coyote]

Also, Bertie Mee was an educated and knowledgable football man.
I rather doubt he would have suddenly launched into song mid conversation with Bill Shankley about the merits of the Northbank Highbury.
If by some miracle he did, it would be a staggering fact if the similarly astute William Shankley dismissed Mr Mee's arrogance, and interjected with an appraisal of the Longside terracing in Lancashire.

HAHA! Brilliant. Just a shame by time we get it going Keane will have left.

I suppose we can replace Michael Keane with Tarkowski in more than one sense?

[Cheshireclaret]

Yep, it can become a mainstay by the end of the West Ham game and then edited by the time we play *insert team* in August 2017.

At least someone joined me in liking it - I was grabbing my coat!

Just laughed out loud I'd pay to see that exchange.

[Redbeard]

Sorry, Coyote, but I rather doubt that the original lyrics were ever intended to be taken as factual.

Or indeed that 'Shankly' was meant to be sung with an 'e' in it.

[Dark Cloud]

In actual fact Shankly would have almost certainly just replied "Course I have! You can't f***ing miss it!!!".

[ClaretTony]

In the cricket field stand it is on the wall with Bertie Bee - when asked about it, Lee Hoos said it was correct. He didn't know about Bertie Mee.

Why does none of that surprise me!?

[IanMcL]

Had not realised that our Mr Bee was that old. If true he has certainly mixed in good company!

Messrs Mee and Shankley must have felt privileged too!

Its possible in my opinion as a medical man,that the gentleman had a very heavy cold and a blocked nasal passage.
