It's really not.
This is just a global superstar who has picked up on a take of his song by some fans, and decided to join in on the fun.

If the club had engineered this, then yes, maybe that would be cringe but it's just a show of how far the Ange vibe is reaching.
Lighten up and enjoy the moment.
Robbie Williams? Global Superstar? :ROFLMAO:

He has always been cringe to me though. Like always trying to be centre of everything - even when his wife gave birth. Gives me the ick.

But whatever, might help the narrative about us and some ppl may even tune in to our games a bit more.

Got to say, although i've never been a big Robbie Williams fan i did think that was great of him to do that video - the Spurs bloke who wrote the 'Ange' lyrics must be so chuffed with that.

Btw Isn't Robbie a Port Vale fan ? He can go and cheer on Alfie Devine now !

...and as far as fan designed chants go, its one of the best.

Nothing cringey about it at all.
I'm going to sound like a miserable bastard and I honestly don't mean it that way and bear in mind i'm always happy to be the champion of grumpyness, buuuuuuuut...............I've yet to hear a really good 'Ange' song :D

It's all about the tune/song, so fitting his name into something is a tough ask and something like "poch dead' or whatever it is? Fuck that, I mean why? To fit? Nah, it needs to be simpler and without that, it doesn't sit right, it makes it a bit suss.............So I just don't think it's a good song.

Please remember, i'm not saying it shouldn't be sung or whatever downer you want to apply here, I just don't think it's a good song. I think there's a lot better to be had and i'm sure one will pop up out of the blue that'll stick.

I think a version of Waltzing Matilda (yeah corny I know) would fit his full name well. In fact I have one and I think it's a fucking good one too (I would wouldn't I?), but i'm too miserable to treat you all to it :woot:

I was cringing at the prospect of 60k spurs fans trying to belt out angels at the next game I won’t lie. It’s all good fun though.

personally think the Depeche Mode song (Can’t get enough) played at Celtic could be perfect for an Ange song. Plus it’s upbeat and would be very catchy. Some sort of derivative of the below could work.

“when I’m watching Ange's style of football, I go out of my head, I just can’t get enough I just can’t get enough

The football that you’ve given me and all the things you’ve said, I just can’t get enough, I just can’t get enough

We slip and slide as we fall in Love and I just can’t seem to get enough of you.”

(Then Pos-te-cog-lu fits perfectly into the chorus).

Yeah, agree on that.

Far too often we're guilty of over analysis on pretty much everything and i'm probably guilty of that here as well :D

It's a bit of fun.

still don't like the song though ;)

Just remember that however you might feel like cringing.....

TBF I guess that "Let me entertain you" would be a far more apt song.

What do you think of the one sung on Saturday. A simple "Ooh Ange Postecoglou" to the opening notes of Seven Nation Army?
