Comments on: Strange chants: part nine http://nffcblog.com/2006/12/05/strange-chants-part-nine/ The mindless ramblings of a Forest fan half imbued with a probably misguided sense of optimism..

The same song is sung at Boro, but with the next to last line ever so slightly different:

“And it’s Mid-dles-burra..
Middlesbrough FC!
The greatest team in football,
The world has ever seen!”

Stranger still their chant at Lee Trundle “Youve never seen a burger”! :-)

Forest ever Forest
All our hopes are with you
True supporters forever
‘Til our days are through
Through the season’s before us
Down through history
We will follow the Forest
Onto victory
We hate Derby County
We hate Derby too
We hate Derby County
Oh Derby we hate you!


But the version I hear now, alas, has mutated to:

We hate Derby County
We hate Leicester too
We hate Sheffield United
But Forest we love you.

I think that I have heard different versions over the years, but the one I most recently heard finished with ‘we hate Sheffield United’ – or was I mistaken? ANYBODY KNOW? (I hate Wolves far more than Sheffield United by the way – but that’s probably just a personal feeling).
