someone remind me, will i get battered if i ask what the 'yam yam' song is? <img src="graemlins/nervous.gif" border="0" alt="[Nervous]" />

sorry, i read down the page and found out it was to do with em opening your arms like plabes stuff, ignore the above comment :o
 
they show their true colours then - they deny it means anything to do with 58 and then post pictures of planes and the song to piss off Red Devil poster. hypocrites.
smalltime, smallminded, and going down. one more reason to cheer on Agent Bruce down the road.
 
I read all their posts and, quite frankly, I don't know why you lot are getting so uptight. I've seen a lot worse on here. The worst thing they said was that we're arrogant and from what I read here we are.
 
If it's not about Munich, what is it supposed to be about?

I don't see any big deal with it either, apart from the 2wat who posted all the planes.

Don't have an axe to grind with Brommy fans, they can't stand Villa, that can't be bad. And they did give us Remi and Robbo.... oh, and Big Ron :rolleyes:

Read it and didn't understand it. Is it that the Brum fans used 'yam yam' as some sort of (racist?) insult to the Baggies so now they sing it to the tune of the Dambusters?

People that come from the Black Country are called 'Yams' due to their accent. Rather than saying a statement like:

Your team's betters than ours

they say

Yams teams's better than ours

Birmingham fans clearly started taking the piss out of the way Black Country folk speak. Hence the Yambusters, rather than Dambusters. I think we're all guilty of getting the wrong end of the stick at OT. Black Country folk are genuinly friendly and the majority of posts are concerned that what hopefully should be a good game of football will turn nasty.

OK understand now but it isn't strange that fans at OT think people doing airplane impressions are referring to Munich. The guy who posted all the planes in that thread must have known how offensive it was. I haven't met a Baggie who wasn't a fine fellow but they need to be sensitive about Munich. Duncan Edwards was one of their own.

Hopefully there'll be no trouble but it only takes one or two stupid pissheads to kick it all off.

By the way, I like their forum set up, why cant we have pictures beside our status?? ;)
 
I think there's going to be trouble for the following reasons

1) Albion want revenge for being attacked after the last time we played them.

2) Walsall v Wolves is on the same day. Beware of Brum New Street it's going to be nasty.

3) They are going to sing that song
