Here's one from the Admiral's song book, for all you harking back to those heady October nights in Manchester not-so-very-long-ago ....

(With the utmost respect to the Beach Boys, the Barmy Army etc.)

Tune : Sloop John B (trad.arr)

We all came over from Leeds
The South Stand Army and me
Around Manchester town we did roam
Four quid for a pint, forty quid for a seat
But with Sinfield as captain, we'll take the cup home

So hoist up the Rhinos sail
See how the mainsail sails
Call for the captain ashore
Take the cup home
We'll take the cup home
We'll take the cup home
With Sinfield as captain
We'll take our cup home

Cunningham's a broken man
Without Sculthorpe he has no plan
He tries to carry the team all on his own
He's losing his hair
But we don't care
'Cos with Sinfield as captain will take our cup home

So hoist up the Rhinos sail
See how the mainsail sails
Call for the captain ashore
Take the cup home
We'll take the cup home
We'll take the cup home
With Sinfield as captain
We'll take our cup home

Now Danny’s a caring guy
Helps kids in his spare time
But now he's gonna tear the Scousers apart
They can't stop his runs
And so Loiners have won
And with Sinfield as captain, he’ll take our cup home

So hoist up the Rhinos sail
See how the mainsail sails
Call for the captain ashore
Take the cup home
We'll take the cup home
We'll take the cup home
With Sinfield as captain
We'll take our cup home

Admiral,

Can I just congratulate you on this song...

Sheer genius!

This HAS to be sung on Friday !!!

More a repost really.

Mid 1980's (may have been v Fev)

Wakey 10 points down to fellow strugglers and they began singing "going down, going down" quick as a flash we returned with "so are we, so are we" made me laugh at the time - we did go down as it happens

"Video Jailed The Rugby League Star"

One from the 80s there aimed at a certain Bradford / Wigan player, which was suddenly forgotten when he signed for Leeds ...

Liked that.

Seems I still do.

Anyone remember the words to this ?

I know it started with an low "Oohhhhhh" rising in volume and then in to "Andy Gregory packed his bags and said goodbye to the Widnes ... Off he went with a trumperty-trump, sulk ! sulk ! sulk !" (It was sung around the time of Gregory's big money move from Widnes to Wigan)

Then there was a bit about "Kevin Dick was calling far, far away ..." (Dick was the Leeds scrum half at the time and one of the few players with the measure of Gregory at scrum-half)

Having said that, I also recall a verse where "Ray French was calling, far, far away ..."

Anyone who can put the full song on here, much appreciated ....

He came via Warrington

Now lets get back on topic with funny chants

Re: Fans funniest ever chants : Tue Jan 31, 2012 9:12 pm  

Not a chant but a comment to one few years back at a Wigan v Warrington game.

The chant "The referees a w**k*r"
A Wigan speccie behind me shouted "I wish his father had been"

This season "Anthony Gelling, he sh!ts where he wants"

Re: Fans funniest ever chants : Wed Feb 01, 2012 9:20 am  

What a shame we can't have any witty chants now due to the band and the drum!

"One (Insert Name Here), there's only one (insert name here)"

May already have been posted, but I can remember the Pies singing

Henderson Gill goes round the outside
Round the outside
Round the outside
Henderson Gill goes round the outside
And Hanley goes through the window
