Fantastic chant caught the last twenty minutes as I couldn't make the game tonight as I was on a twelve hour shift can't wait for Boxing Day that's why I still love watching Cardiff City anyone put the full words on the board

'Last Christmas I gave you my heart but the very next day you give it away. Next year to save you from tears i am giving it to Sol Bamba......Bamba'

Sounded awesome down the CCS tonight and Bamba acknowledged and appreciated the chant at the end of the game. :old: :bluescarf:

Amazing song and in my opinion we should sing it all year round now, instead of making it a victim of the post Christmas period.

Kids bloody loved it in the family end - my two gave their mam a rousing chorus of it when we got home.

She was in stitches.

The girl child loved her first real footie match, much to the lads chagrin she cannot wait for the Preston game - made all the more special as it'll be mam's first real footie match thanks to the CCFC santa and his gift of free tickets. :bluescarf: :ayatollah: :bluebird: :D

Despite that being a 7.45 ko, all 4 of us will be there, even though it means picking the missus up from work and barrelling down to CCS in time for ko.

You never know... it might mean me and the lad can get a half season ticket!?! Although with his U7 matches now being later on a saturday, it'll be tight to get down, but we'll see what we can do!

there were about 10 singers in block 104 canton stand at the top right next to me that started that . they started a few songs i haven't heard before but the last xmas one seemed to spread like wild fire in the stands . another song that springs to mind was about omar bogle but didn't catch on

george michael has got alot to answer for :laughing6:

I’m at the back of 103/104 (under the scoreboard) and as much as we’d love to take the credit, our Sol Bamba song has never reached the dizzy heights of the Last Christmas Sol Bamba song. I believe it was started from the middle of the Canton. We did attempt the Omar Bogle song (Blur) but no one joined in. We also sang a variety of songs.

We were massively down on numbers, but me and my mate were waving our scarfs around above our heads most of the night.

Come and join us next time, the more the merrier. :thumbup:

That chant was abseloutely amazing, hopefully we sing that song again. This is why id prefer if we did not having a drum as you get spontaneous chants like that and not the same old rubbish being chanted every week. It allows fans to come up with something new and creative, but honestly well done whoever started that chant.

I also thought the drum kept it going, quietening down when it was in full force and going slightly louder during the quieter periods, not that there were many in the song.

They say it was Pontus Jansen, but none of us would have heard it and it was awesome last night.

Stoke weren't the first to sing Delilah and we sang 'Bubbles' before West Ham allegedly a long long time ago. But it doesn't matter, it's not a competition, just a bit of fun.

We loved it, the players loved it, the manager loved it and Sol loved it
