Amazon red cards 'offensive' Man Utd chant CD Offensive chants on a Manchester United CD aimed at Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger have prompted online e-tailer Amazon.co.uk to withdraw it from sale. The London club complained that the lyrics of a song on the Manchester United Chants CD were defamatory, prompting Amazon.co.uk to pull its sale, the BBC reports. The Beeb omits to …
Unofrtunately my bestest buddies, the chant actually went more like
"Sit down you ..."
I was part of the group of fans that highlighted the story to the sport.co.uk website who were then picked up on by the beeb et al.
Either way, like you say a) why is that even included as a manure chant CD and b) so long as it's been dropped.
There are always one or two things, which a perfectly normal, rational person would, if put in a position of absolute power, throw their conscience away and carry out a good ol'fashioned smashing of human rights for. Along with the wilful fouling of public toilets, which under my rule would quickly land you in the scorpion pit, I would have to say that football hooliganism, or just taking the game at all seriously would be grounds for chemical castration. No testosterone, no problem.

I'm a sad Yank, and barely follow football (the real kind, not the American garbage)...and I can't for the life of me, figure out what the rest of the verse is!
Could someone from the other side of the pond enlighten me?
No coat to pick up; I never took it off. But nevertheless, it's the one with "dumb bloke" on the back.
The actual chant that caused all the rumpus on Saturday went like this (censored obviously for libel reasons !!!)....
"With his bag of sweets, & his boyish smile, Arsene Wenger is a "Person like Gary Glitter that rhymes with Feed O File"...".
Shouty Shouty Shouty because thats what we did :o)
Like so many chants (except the ones about Lids) there is no basis to it at all - and I think there is some grudging respect for Wenger in the red part of Manchester, at least for the style of football the Arse play - and I'll admit to being a little taken aback myself when I heard it the first time:

@ El Reg do we get a three stripes and a three sails icon for our football moments?
I first heard this one from a Scots bloke who'd been to Paris for the Scotland / Brazil match in the World Cup.
He said they were signing it in the bar afterwards with Ronaldo as the target (it scans then too). Since it starts: "There's only one Ronaldo. One Ronaldo." and then goes for the punch and since the assembled Brazilians spoke no English, every time they sang it they got a round of free drinks!
