Chants of the season

By Chris Charles

As Rangers took on Zenit St Petersburg in the Uefa Cup final, shouts of "We're gonna deep-fry your vodka!" echoed around the City of Manchester stadium.

This was the latest adaptation of a chant begun by Scotland fans in Italy with pizzas, amended to croissants in France and incorporating tapas when Aberdeen travelled to face Atletico Madrid.

But the Scots don't have a monopoly on witty ditties. We have picked out our favourite chants of the season - plus a few crazy stadium announcements - sent in by you, dear readers.

Great Post Mr T.

Some real thinkers out there on the terraces eh?

Do they pass the words round or have meetings? or is it just one bloke who thinks of them all? I have always wondered about that.

At Reading we don't sing songs, just the usual stuff with no thought to it at all. pretty boring.

We got caught out badly when we played Fulham at home by chanting

"Going Down , going down ,going down, at the Fulaham fans

Who replied with "So are we, so are we so are we" :o

I did find that amusing

I could not see the funny side of Reading fans calling Robbie Keane a "Fat Kevin Doyle" if that were even true I would be happy to take "Fatso" in some sort of player plus cash plus the rest of our team deal....we could build on that :D
