The songs we sang...

"Four nil down, we're having a laugh"
and to be fair the sky blue army did have a laugh at the absurdity of conceding 4 goals in 22 minutes from some of the worst defending we have seen since the last time. Here are some of the chants from the game...

"0ne nil and you still don't sing .....two nil and you still don't sing
three nil and you still don't sing .... four nil and you still don't sing"

We're gonna win 4-3, ..we're gonna win 5-4, ...we're gonna win 6-4
we're gonna win 7-4 ... we're gonna win 8-4

"118, 118, 1 1 1 1 8 - he's got not hair but we don't care, 1 1 1 1 8"

This poor steward got it in the neck - "we've got your number" and the 118 A-team theme. To be fair his boss got "whose the wanker in the suit" and was told to give 118 a payrise by the sba.

"Petey is a paedo, Petey is a paedo, la lar lar la"

So Pete the Pilgrim became the butt of the paedo song because he was throwing sweets into the crowd. It reaaly is like a Monkey Dust sketch hearing 13 year olds chanting "paedo paedo".

"Who's the gay boy in the pink"

The homphobic classic was out in force aimed at the frankly cherry-blossomed fleece wearer. It's good to note that the crowd could count to four though one guy seems to be giving a five finger shuffle in response. The equally charming "does you boyfriend know you are here" and "do you take it up the arse" soon followed. At least fans don't throw quiches at players they think are gay so we might one day get rid of this Beavis and Butthead sniggering about homosexuality.

"He's got the best tan in the league"

"He's got a sun-bed in his house "

"His looks like Mowgli from the jungle book"

Although there were a few bursts of "coleman sort it out" for the most part the crowd were supportive of the boss, reasoning that it was one of those days and grateful that the rest of the season has been much more positive. The much more coherent second half display saved him from catcalls at the end and the players amazingly were clapped which as all of us at the Charlton away game last season will recall is not always a given.

"Shoes off if you love city"

"Get your shoes off for the lads"

Perhaps inspired by Iraqi journalists, the sba began waving their footwear in the air like they just don't care, as a means of supporting the team... I really have no idea why.

"We're gonna shoot in a minute"

This was rather a popular refrain given the utterly ineffective performance of our strikers in the first half and was deployed at all set pieces.

"ner ner ner ner ner ner ner ner ner Scott Dann"

The Batman song we heard first at Palace last week returned with a vengeance and with Batgirl there to hear the homage to Adam West. What a great way to spend a hen weekend.... the hens were also asked to display their charms for the gentlemen in the audience but sensibly declined.
