A Game of Chants

Final week of the Euro Championships and then we all go back to talking club football, transfers, possible transfers and what could happen in the new season. Sometimes we even overhear very familiar chirps like:
"This is of course LFC's year?!?!"

Another part of the English game i quite enjoy is the songs sung by the different sets of fans. A number of them are quite catchy and then there are some which are really harsh, while still being humorous.

I recently acquired a book entitled 'Who Are Ya?' by Gershon Portnoi. Quite a fantastic little hardcover with a host of different chants and songs. I'd definitely suggest you go out and buy it, because i aint giving you my copy to, well...copy.

The LFC faithful would of course look no further than 'You'll never walk alone' and possibly 'Fields of Anfield Road' while MUFC would look to 'Take Me Home, United Road' or 'When The Reds Go Marching In'...Chelsea haven't quite figured out who their fans are yet, so singing and chanting will come later.

Here are some other chants i quite enjoyed:

"He's quick, he's game

We can't pronounce his name

Russian lad, Russian lad"

Sung to a certain Russian from Everton. Can you guess who?!

"He's tall, he's red

His feet stick out the bed

Peter Crouch, Peter Crouch"

Sung during his time at Liverpool FC

"Let's talk about Cesc baby,

Let's talk about Flamini,

Let's talk about Theo Walcott, Freddie Ljungberg and Henry.

Let's talk about Cesc!"

Nice. Won't quite work now though...unless it's a testimonial

There's only one Faustino Asprilla,

When he does a cartwheel you know he's scored a thriller,

He'll shit on United, the 'Pool and the Villa,

Tino Asprilla!

Sung by the Magpies to the tune of Macarena

Lasagne, woah-oh

Lasagne, woah-oh

We laughed ourselves to tits,

When Tottenham got the shits!

Remember this?!?!

There are loads and there's literally a new song created every week.

I'll leave you with two for the road.

He's fat, he's round

He swears like Chubby Brown

Joe Kinnear, Joe Kinnear!

There were ten Alsations walking down the street,

Ten Alsations walking down the street,

but if Ju-Sung Park should fancy one to eat...

There'd be nine Alsations walking down the street!

Thanks for joining me. Lets share some of the others in the comments section.
