Do you ever wish you were Welsh? 13:50 - Jan 16 with 2115 viewsIllinoisblue

So you could sing along with this awesomeness. Magnificent.



We need to get Mr Sheeran to write us an anthem. Easy, repetitive, stirring. Get on it, Ed.

In a word, no.

I do respect the passion of the Welsh though, especially when it comes to sport. A proud nation, also a stunning part of the world in areas I must say.

Same here. I had to work in Cardiff for a while some years ago and I really liked the place. The people are mostly ok. Mind you, when I was ankling around snowdonia, they’d only speak English when they wanted the bill paying. Oh well.

A lot of Wales is stunning. Not Newport though. Even the locals think that’s a a bit desperate. Can’t have been to Blackpool - now that’s a real hole.

Nope.

I can imagine if you asked if Cardiff fans wished they were English you'd get a bit of a reaction there...!

Yeah, definitely has its more shabby areas lets say.

The natural landscape is stunning, parts of the coastline and valleys and what not. It's generally the stuff built on it that doesn't do it justice. I've got friends in SW Wales and have spent a bit of time on the West coast as well. Would like to see more of it but it's a bit of an ar5e to get to from the East of England.

And for Scots (like me), there's Donald Where's Your Troosers?

Seriously though, I am not sure if it was written for the team as opposed to the place where the team is based, but the Proclaimers are supporters, and Sunshine on Leith has been adopted by Hibs supporters.

A spine-tingling version at the Scottish Cup Final exists on You Tube, and as the OP says, we need Ed to write something equally stirring.

He’s obviously a Welsh Town fan. Singing to Leeds, Southampton and Chris Sutton.

My maternal grandfather was Welsh so I have a soft spot for many Welsh things.

We don't need Ed to write us an anthem. We have Edward Ebeneezer and regular compulsory singing of that would solve our apparent atmosphere 'problem'.

Good point re Edward. The “Ipswich Ipswich come on The Town” shouty bit is perfect for a terrace anthem.

Yep, would definitely cause a more stirring response from fans and players.

In fact I'm putting our national teams failure down to our lack of a rousing anthem
