Comments on: Strange chants: part eleven http://nffcblog.com/2007/04/13/strange-chants-part-eleven/ The mindless ramblings of a Forest fan half imbued with a probably misguided sense of optimism..

The one chant that I really wanted to get a recording of was a few years ago - when Paul Evans joined us. Having the same name as him, I wanted a recording of Forest fans singing his name - it would have made a great ringtone for my phone if nothing else. I remember distantly hearing other parts of the ground (I don't go in A Block) singing a version of the Patrick Vierra song with his name, but I didn't have a recorder of any kind with me (you don't usually take one to matches, do you?). By the time I got a phone that had sound capture, PE had slipped out of the first team picture. I wrote a bit more about this on my own blog here: http://nevertrustahippy.blogspot.com/2005/11/blackmailing-your-child.html I’ve just seen this, belatedly.

Sorry about the oversight. Caught up with my back-reading after I'd sent the comment. Looks like I may have been singing the wrong words as well. Enough of that and back to more important things. I want you to hang in with the pessimism. It's definitely our best chance of automatic. You and your personal habits are second only to me in deciding the immediate destiny of our club. It became clear when I read you had been arsed to make the trip to Brentford and we won. You see, after a very long trip North for the Carlisle debacle, I decided it was all my fault, that I was a bad influence. So I forewent the East Anglian minimigration for the Rotherham game. No change in fortune. Yesterday, totally pissed off at half time, went out in the garden - and hit on it. Brilliant (?) comeback. So the answer is you stay away, I'll totally ignore em for three weeks and - see you at Wembley. Keep up the excellent coverage. It really is great for exiles. Yeh! Sorry about the oversight.

Although I've always thought t'was "by far the greatest" - which seems even more absurd than "the finest" :) Aye, I find that one strange too - indeed, it has already featured in this series!. Although I’ve always thought t’was “by far the greatest” - which seems even more absurd than “the finest” :)

Haven't been able to bring myself to sing that line for a number of seasons! Stragest of all, we still sing,- from time to time: ”And we’re the finest football team the world has seen”.
