    It saved my sanity many times over the years - and I'm glad to say that the Premiership will be back Saturday week. (Spurs will be playing Sunday v Liverpool)

    The Championship starts this Saturday for any sad bastards out there!  grin12

    So here's a video to celebrate this fact.

    Please do add your own good/crappy football song - or football video if you like.  Afro

    Muslims Angered by Verse in German Soccer Club Song

    The verse "Muhammad Was a Prophet Who Knows Nothing About Football" in the official song of German soccer club Schalke 04 has sparked more than 100 complaints from Muslims. The club says it's looking into the matter.

    German Bundesliga soccer club Schalke 04 has received more than 100 complaints from Muslims about its club song which contains the verse: "Muhammad was a Prophet who knows nothing about football."

    The song with the title "White and Blue, How I Love You" has been around for decades but only recently came to the attention of Turkish media which said it insults the Prophet.

    Muslims are now demanding that the offending line be struck from the song, which is chanted by Schalke's fans before every match.

    The management of the club, based in the western town of Gelsenkirchen in the industrial Ruhr region, is concerned about the complaints and says it is consulting an expert on Islam.

    It's unclear why the song contains the reference to Muhammad given that the rest of the lyrics focus on the beauty of the team colors white and blue and on the fact that Schalke will never die.

    "The song is age old. Both sides should sit down and discuss this, we're all sensible people," Schalke's former manager Rudi Assauer told the mass circulationBild newspaper.

    Shalke has established itself as one of the dominant clubs in the German football in recent years, capturing the German Cup two years in a row in 2001 and 2002. It earned second place in the Bundesliga in 2001, 2005 and 2007, allowing the team to compete in the Champions League.


    http://www.spiegel.de/international/zeitgeist/0,1518,640393,00.html

    Here this is the complete strophe

    Mohammed war ein Prophet
    Der vom Fu?ballspielen nichts versteht
    Doch aus all der sch?nen Farbenpracht
    Hat er sich das Blau und Wei?e ausgedacht

    which translates as

    Muhammad was a prophet
    Who didn't know anything about football
    But of all the wonderful colours
    He picked blue and white

    Now I don't see any connection between Mo and the colours blue/white. I thought, green was the colour of Islam...

    That's a damn Kuffar lie!

    Mo was a cracking center-forward and a great header of the ball.

    Aristotle was pretty nifty too - this when Germany played Greece:

    Fun fact:

    I wondered about the connection between Mo and the colours blue/white. So, here is the answer: There is none. The song of the football club was plagiarized inspired by a 18th century poem by a huntsman about the colour "green". Green is the traditional colour associated with huntsmen in Germany and it is also associated with Mo, whose favourite colour it was.

    Here is the relevant excerpt from the original 1797 poem:

    Quote
    Mahomed ist mein Patron
    Echte Sch?nheit kannt' er schon
    Er, dem aus der Farbenschaar
    Nur die gr?ne heilig war.

    Leben soll er, Herr Prophet,
    Der auf Farben sich versteht!
    M?chte fast mich selbst - doch nein,
    Liebte ja weder Jagd noch Wein.

    H?tt' ich nur ein K?nigreich
    Wahrlich, seinen Huris gleich,
    M?ssten M?dchen, jung und sch?n,
    alle gr?n gekleidet gehn.


    My unpoetic translation:

    Quote
    Mohammed is my patron
    He knew real beauty
    For him of all the colours
    Only Green was holy

    Long live you, Mr. Prophet,
    Who knows so much about colours.
    I would nearly think about [converting] - but no,
    Problem is, he didn't like hunting and wine.

    If I had my own kingdom,
    therein girls, young and beautiful, would have
    to dress all in green
    just like his houris.

    The game should only be 1 minute long, that way no-one has to endure the extra 89 minutes & dull discussions afterwards.

    Or a woman in a burka, playing football, whilst eating a hotdog which has just been barbecued in the middle of the pitch.
