Chant of the Match: Aston Villa v Chelsea 15/03/2014
It has to be said that it was a decent atmosphere on Saturday, and the Villa fans lived up to their ‘Scousers of the Midlands’ tag by screeching for every dubious decision going, surpassed only by their players who clearly got to Chris Foy on more than one occasion. To be fair though they made a lot of noise (after the goal went in) but is their a more unedifying sight than a once ‘big’ club with lot’s of history celebrating a home win in the Premier League (and one with the major assistance of the referee for that matter) like they had just won the Champion’s League Final?
Fitting too that the True Blue Massive came up with a couple of ditties to wind them up – both regarding the fact that the infamous Channel 4 ‘reality doc’ – ‘Benefit Street’ was filmed in Birmingham. It would be churlish not to give them both a mention, the first being: “We know where you live, we know where you live, Benefit Street, we know where you live”, followed up with the “We pay your benefits, we pay your benefits”. Presumably The Chelsea Choir couldn;t come up with a rhyme to go with “Anything for yow cup cake”, or match the nasal twang of the home support.
Our third nomination goes to an old Chelsea classic, and what’s more, one that is often belted out in defiance after a defeat to proclaim our undying support and love for the ‘Boys in Blue’. A personal favourite of mine too. Simple and meaningful: “We Love You Chelsea, We Do, We Love You Chelsea, We Do, We Love You Chelsea, We Do, Oh Chelsea We Love You!” And indeed we do even when they don’t return the sentiment!
And this is what we had to say about it on the Chelsea FanCast this week. Tune in every Monday at 19.00-21.00 GMT at sportstonightlive.com or on this website here or of course you can listen and post in the chat room at Mixlr.
