Manchester City are to rework Blondie's 'Union City Blues' into a new club song, intended for use when the team take to the pitch.

City boss Stuart Pearce (pictured) apparently asked personally for permission to use the song. After it was granted, he asked Manchester-based band The Sounds Alliance to record a new version.

DiScuss: Danny Mills, that was a fluke. You could try it a million more times and miss every one.

As long as we keep 'Boys In Blue' at the end, I'm happy :)

he's been threatening it for a while, but usually thwacks it a couple of miles over the bar. nice to see him playing pretty well for a change...Mills for England. Cough.

I can't believe I'm reading a thread about Man City on DiS. Get in.

Due to being so obviously inept when he is on the ball (good in the tackle though) I reckon Millsy should shoot at every given opportunity now.

What's the point, nobody ever goes?

They never go, they never go-o-o
What a waste of council tax city fans never go.

Will they ever hear it over the persistant booing of the lazer blue army?

Yeah, we only got the highest attendance in the league last weekend at the most ridiculous kick-off time ever.

Don't you think its a bit lazy to peddle cliches like that? You'd a bit annoyed if I suggested that all your fans come from Singapore wouldn't you?

I think that rags are in a bit of a glass house at the moment when it comes to booing your own team. I've never done it myself but to be fair we've had an awful lot to be annoyed about in recent years. Whereas you lot boo a formation. Classic.
