"He's got no skills and walks like Heather Mills"
..... is the chant that has been ringing out on the terraces about Eduardo.
Now this is a girl who is not averse to extracting the urine if you know what I mean. In fact I have been told I am bad for it. By my lover for one.
And I love some of the funny chants fans make up sometimes.
But somehow it seems to become slightly more distasteful when chants are personalised.
I mean how would you feel if you were Andy Hunt?
To the tune of 'When The Saints Go Marching In'...
'Oh Andy Hunt, is good up front,
Oh Andy Hunt is good up front,
He's got a name that rhymes with fanny,
Oh Andy Hunt is good up front'.
He can't help his name after all. (Well actually he could if he was a friend of my son who changed one of his friend's names to "Daddy Fantastic" as his birthday present and now he can't get a job)
Or Sammy Lee when they sang;
'He's fat, he's round,
His arse drags on the ground,
Sammy Lee, Sammy Lee.'
I mean its hardly his fault he was horizontally challenged. (Even if he was a bit of a pie eater).
And as for the suggestion Wayne Rooney can't score goals.......
"He can only score in a brothel
Score in a brothel"
......... well it's just nonsense.
Anyway back to the Eduardo chant. I can see a glimpse of humour way off in the distance but it just doesn't feel funny.
What do you think?

Two of the best I heard were from our lot at an away Blackburn match, directed at Dwight Yorke. He was warming up on the touchline which meant running at us and running away.
"Where's your Jordan now?"
and
"There's only one Peter André!"
The best part? Where he stopped, grinned, gave us all a wave and ran off again. Which earned him a bigger cheer than most of our lot warranted that day.
At one match last year the Reading supporters felt that the referee was not up to scratch. Inevitably the chant "You're worse than Graham Poll" reverberated around the North stand. The following week Graham Poll himself was in charge of the match. After a few his decisions went against Reading we started chanting "You're worse than Graham Poll". It was quite surreal.
mosher: A footballer with a sense of spirit an humour. Whatever next!
paul coombes: You seem to be both a Reading fan and a Foxes fan. My lover and I would like to adopt you.
Great story by the way
I see what you mean about the Eduardo chant. You think you might want to smile but can't quite bring yourself to. Mind you, all those sentimental Get Well Soon clips on YouTube were, unintentionally, hilarious.
