The Art of the Chant
Nicky Campbell has some fun in the Guardian with the football chants he has encountered:
A friend told me about a Fulham v West Ham game at Loftus Road. They spotted a fat Fulham fan and, of course, all the predictable stuff was thrown his way. They suggested a part of his anatomy may well have been relatively unfamiliar to him, and imputed to him an over-fondness for pastry. He showed them a digit and the Hammers fans noticed no one was sitting in any of the seats near him. Then it happened. “Have you eaten all your mates?” The fat bloke applauded out of sheer respect.
