With Peter Crouch recently in mind, Stoke City fans were often heard chanting "We only score from throw ins", with Rory Delap and Crouchy somewhere near the club, it is not surprising.
At Bolton who often seemed to be on the end of some tough referee calls, would give it large on "Let's pretend we've scored a goal".
While at Grimsby Town the chant "We only sing when we are fishing". With the Mariners in lowly League Two (17/24th last season), it is quite understandable that their fans need some reason to sing; it must work, their most recent pre-season match yesterday being an 0-8 win at mighty Cleethorpes.
Darlington also have dreams of better days and chant "The Football League is upside down", after a number of miserable years their supporters would continue:
We are going up with Carlisle and Hartlepool are going down.
Liverpool had a time when they sang about Sotirios Kyrgiakos, a 30 years old signing by Rafa Benitez, who gave the Scousers the opportunity to sing;
"Its a shame, We cant pronounce his name, Kyrgilaaaaa, Kyrgilaaaa,"
With Liverpool fans also chanting that they have won the European Cup "Instanbul Five Times", Wigan Athletic would respond with "We've won it two times, Auto Windscreen Shield, We've won it two times", despite the fact that the competition was previously called the "Freight Rover Van Trophy", but picking up a white van for their trouble.
Spurs had one legged Ledley King as a favourite; "Ooohh Ledley, He's only got one knee, He's better than John Terry, Oooh Ledley, ohhh Ledley"
With Swindon Town eventually destined for falling out of the Premier League in 1993-4, with 42 games and 100 goals conceded, the Everton Fans were heard to chant "Going down, going down, going down", to which the Swindon fans would reply "So are we, so are we...".
