Though i must admit i much prefer original word play chants rather than the normal 'he's here, he's there' generic chants you hear at every ground.

Dunno if anyone in the UK would know this song (it was pretty big here in its day, but beware, it's maximum sappy), but this chorus was the first thing that sprang to mind: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vive_La_Villa 8,097 Report post Posted August 24 (edited) He’s tackling stats seemed odd when we signed him but it’s because he reads the game so brilliantly. He’s so calm in possession too. What a signing! Edited August 24 by Vive_La_Villa 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pez1974 466 Report post Posted August 24 Amazing signing from what I've seen so far. I know Deano was looking at him when he was at Brentford, and he seems exactly the sort of player that they would pick up for a few million, and then sell to us for £20m. Nice to cut out the middle man for a change. 5 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mings will handle the clearances and tackles, he'll get the blocks and interceptions. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KentVillan 1,468 Report post Posted August 24 Cross-posting from the chants thread, since there's no chance of this actually being a chant, but I thought it was a decent karaoke song... (to the tune of 'Angels' by R. Williams) He sits and waitsBjoooorn Engels contemplates the gameSubbuteoThe places you can goWhen you're Grealish ohhhhh'Cause Jack has been toldHis penetration lets the wings unfold So when I'm lying in my bedThor's running through my headAnd I feel sorry for JedI'm loving Engels instead And through it all he offers Mings protectionA tackle or an interceptionWhether he's right or wrong And on the second ballWherever it may take himA kick to the face won't break himIf he wins the ball, he won't forsake himHe's loving Engels instead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was a truly horrific moment for Engels that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
