The Friday List of Little or No Consequence #101

Chants in a million
10 Songs From The Terraces We Find Rather Amusing

1. Sung to the tune of '10 Green Bottles':

# There were 10 Alsatians walking down the street,
10 Alsatians walking down the street,
And if Ji-Sung Park fancied one to eat
There'd be 9 Alsatians walking down the street... #

2. Sung by Liverpool fans to the tune of 'The Quartermaster's Store':

# "He's big, he's Red, his feet stick out of bed,
Peter Crouch, Peter Crouch..." #

3. ...or there's the alternative version:

# "He's bald, he's scouse, he'll rob your f***ing house,
Steve McMahon, Steve McMahon..." #

4. Sung to the tune of 'The Addams Family' about Norwich fans:

# "Your sister is your mother,
Your uncle is your brother,
You all f*** one another,
The Norwich family..." #

5. Sung to the tune of 'We'll Meet Again' by Sunderland fans at Aston Villa:

# "We'll win again,
Don't know where,
Don't know when...
But I know we'll win again
Some sunny day..." #

6. Sung by Celtic fans to the tune of 'Guantanamera' about Andy Goram who'd been diagnosed with schizophrenia:

# "Two Andy Gorams, there's only two Andy Gorams..." #

7. ...or there's the alternative version, sung by Birmingham fans to the few Sunderland fans that had shown up to watch:

# "Come in a taxi,
You must have come in a taxi,
Come in a taxi,
You must have come in a taxi..." #

8. Sung by Liverpool fans to the tune of 'Blame It On The Boogie':

# "Don't blame it on the Biscan,
Don't blame it on the Hamann,
Don't blame it on the Finnan,
Blame it on Traore...
He just can't,
He just can't,
He just can't control his feet..." #

9. Once sung about former Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman to the tune of 'Go West':

# "Nayim, from the half-way line,
Nayim, from the half-way line,
Nayim, from the half-way line..." #

10. Sung to the tune of 'Blue Moon' by West Brom fans after their club bought a Swiss defender:

# Bernt Haas, I've gone and Bernt my Haas, I've gone and Bernt my Haas..."

While watching the opening game of the World Cup last Friday, my partner Mel and I decided that Germany were having far too easy a time of it against Costa Rica, and that the game needed something extra by way of excitement.

So to that end, we invented a game of our own which I invite you all to join in on. It's called World Cup Songbook. It's very easy to play - all you have to do is think of a song title that uses the name of a player involved in this year's World Cup.

For example, in the opening game you could have had 'Frings Can Only Get Better' or that old Carpenter's hit 'Klose To You'...

There's plenty more where that came from, but don't let me hog the idea - why not come up with some of your own?!? :-)
