I'm going to start off by saying this is controversial. In the early years we vowed as Support Groups never to bring back this chant again.

However, after reading a couple of posts on the "Toast" thread; after talking to a few other supporters who have been here since Day 1; and after hearing from folks the effect of that chant had on them. I want to put this out there...

Just like we only do "The Bounce" once we are in the clear... To bring back this stadium wide chant around the 89th minute


"All we are saying..... is give us the cup"


Yes, I'm ready to take the heat, but I believe at the right time and moment this could be magical, and I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I didn't throw this out there... to see what folks think.

I'm all for as many tributes to our past as possible. This game is ten years in the making, not just one.

I absolutely LOVE seeing this article with an ad at the bottom for Conference Champions tshirts http://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2012/05/22/tfcs-koevermans-stands-worst-team-world-claim

My son and I were in RFK Stadium in DC for that game. We were interviewed by some Dutch journalist at half time, who found our small pocket of a couple of dozen (maybe) TFC supporters.

Only 14% against? Around here?

That's a resounding endorsement. I think 14% didn't like Dichio!

Why not?? It hearkens right back to the beginning when we were chanting ...
"All we are saying .... is get us a goal!!" :)

And the occasional chorus of "always look on the bright side of life".

Flush, I echo many who suggest to be cautious with this one. I think the margin has to be high, I would consider a 2 or 3 goal lead with extra added time. Timing is everything. BUT it would be so worth it!

You got it folks... in Flush you can trust - I will shoot down anyone going rogue with the chant prematurely

Oh memories....I'm to scared to sing it tho unless we up by a minimum 2 or 3 goals in the 89th minute. I can't even vote , just has to happen in the moment.

I'm not really a fan of the idea. Not because I don't particular like the history of it, but because it's a chant taking place at a time during the game when everyone will be wanting to do one of our more regular songs.

And on that note, here's a question: Why the heck didn't we sing the Sloop TFC song during the Conference Final? And is the Stonecutters Song just not happening? I remember that being a thing people wanted to introduce.

It's not that I don't like All We Are Saying (though admittedly I'm not all that fond of it), but I think there are a number of better songs to sing during the match - especially toward the 90th minute.

I'm not RPB, or even part of an SG (anymore), so far be it form me to have any authority, but a suggestion....

I remember in the 1st couple of years we had something to the tune of "For he's a jolly good fellow" like, "Ooooh You're never gonna believe us, your're never gonna believe us, you're never gonna belieeveeeeee uuuuussss......we're gonna win the game. We're gonna win the game, we're gonna win the game, oh you're never gonna.....etc."

In the context of it all, that may be more apt.......TFC the on-field laughing stock of MLS for years, may now win the cup....except replace "we're gonna win the game" with "we're gonna win the Cup.".....

"All we are saying" was good/funny/sad in the day, but it lost a bit over time imo....

You know what Flush, I love the sentiment but I dont like the idea of resurrecting this historic song which was born from futility. Im soccer superstitious and i think its unlucky.

Do you know what I think would be more ironic and just as viral as that song was if we are indeed 3-0 up?

"simply having a wonderful christmas time"

ironic cause its mcartney (upbeat) instead of Lennon (not)

just sayin. do whatever man :) love ya
