Pies For Chants
Two things you need to know about Manchester United’s midweek win against West Ham: As usual for run-of-the-mill games, Old Trafford was quiet as the grave, while most fans were dressed in anti-Glazer green and gold. Which is why Kevin and John win this week’s tray of Pukka Pies for telling us that the chant from the Hammers was: “No noise/From the Norwich boys”. 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.
