Pies For Chants
Punctuation is very important to Tottenham fans. That’s why, says Charlie N, they could be heard at Fulham yesterday chanting: “Oh, Benny, Benny/Benny, Benny, Assou Hyphen Ekotto”!
He might have won over Wembley, but Stoke fans had other ideas about the deposed Enand skipper, who they greeted with chants of: "Are you my Dad, are you my Daaad? John Terry, are you my Dad?"
Now it’s your turn to win. Send the funniest chant you’ve heard at football this week to steve.anglesey@mirror.co.uk, with your name, address and choice of Pukka Pies filling – choose from all-steak, steak and kidney, chicken and mushroom, chicken balti or cheese and onion.
