    So here’s to Lawrence, Byrne St John, Haroo! Haroo!
    Milne and Yeats and Stevenson Haroo! Haroo!
    Hunt and Thompson - what a man!
    Lawler Smith and Callaghan,
    and we’ll all get blind drunk when Liverpool win the Cup!


    The point about the widespread aping of the Torres chant stands, however. United sang it a while back about O'****ingShea (given his ****eness it rarely got an enthusiastic outing) and also about the abject failure Forlan. They have since wheeled out their half-arsed Forlan version as a response to the Torres song, which I find truly cringeworthy. It is about a failed striker of theirs who has long since moved on (yes we (and United) sing about past players but this is largely reserved for legends - not failures like Forlan).

    We revived the song to glorious effect for Torres - fantastic lyrics about a truly fantastic player. We've got the bounce, too. It has gone down a storm with neutral supporters (Oldham, City and other supporters I know have said to me what a great chant it is). A BT ad campaign also cunningly used the tune after the chant really gathered momentum.

    Now Sunderland have *******ised it for Cisse, and the Bitters have their laughable version ('who needs Torres when we've got Yakubu' ). I think this is why I and others get pissed off.

    Also the 'Liiiiiiverpool, Liiiiiverpool' chant has been copied all over the country. Yes, we lifted that one from somewhere in Europe (can't remember where) but that's what LFC supporters often do - introduce tunes used in other countries. To the best of my knowledge we were the first in this country to use that and it has now become a stock tune in almost every ground in Britain.
    Totally agree with you Shags. My point on the Nando song is, the tune is ancient and has been used for plenty of footy chants/songs as is the case with many others. The originality of a tune is but one of many factors that decides how good the song is - something you can see in the fact that the Nando song is so ****ing good whilst the lazy and shameless imitations are utter toilet.

    Sad obsessed ****s.
    Can't disagree, what I mean is they used to sing it en masse, home and away, week in week out. It seemed to be their most sung song until about 18 months ago when they came up with that turdfest Ronaldo song.

      dirty cunts.....
      Man Uniteds version of "We Won it 5 Times" is pathetic! First of all they're braving about only winning it 3 times.

      Secondly, they're singing about Hillsbrough and Heysel trough "Without killing our own fans".

      The worst thing is that they're singing the "Steve Gerrard" song even when they're not playing us. I remember Ronaldo scoring on a penalty against Spurs last seasons or the season before that and the whole stadium screamed out the name of Steven Gerrard.

      Hands up for the Mancs, right?

        I think the cisse one is something like:

        He wasn't good enough for the reds
        Cisse cisse
        They even had to get bellamy instead
        Cisse cisse
        He hits his wife
        He likes tattoos
        Even if he scores
        Sunderland will still probably lose
        It's djibril cisse
        Sunderland number 9

                  I've heard the Cisse one and it's almost completely different to the Torres one. Even so I don't see what the fuss is.

                  Every tune around will get copied if it sounds good. The Campione one is a copy of the PAOK one.

                  Who really gives a toss either way?
                  Forwards.......

                    did we rip off the best midfield in the world song then?

                      This is the real chant:

                      He likes his flashy underwear, Cisse! Cisse!
                      He's got designer facial hair, Cisse! Cisse!
                      He's scores a goal with half a chance,
                      We're never sending him back to France,
                      Djibril Cisse Sunderland's number nine!

                              How about this - to the Katie Perry "I Kissed a Girl" chorus...

                              He won the League - and we liked it
