So Crewe ’strolled’ to victory  in the big match, through a goal from Nicky Maynard (below) and a final minute of extra time, retaken penalty from Luke Rodgers, to win 2-1…..phew! 

Now, whilst the football was spectacular I realised that there is one, integral part of British culture that is so often overlooked….the football chant!

Here are some of my favourites, and bear in mind that Port Vale are from Stoke…

‘You can stick your oatcakes/wedgewood/Robbie Williams up your ar*e’

‘Feeeeed the Claaayheads, let them know its Christmas time’

‘Have you met your, have you met your, have you ever met your dad’?

Although Port Vale got the most cruel jab in with:

‘Oooh Dario Gradi.  Oooh Dario Gradi.  With his packet of sweets and his sweet little smile, Dario’s a f*cking paedophile’

Not very nice!!! Its cos Crewe have a well developed youth policy…..but we had the last laugh! Come on Crewe!!!!!!

Come on the Alex!!!!!!!

 As you may have guessed I am a supporter of officially the most admired football team in the country, Crewe Alexandra.

They’ve been a bit up and down of late however………OK, down and down, with the odd up.  Recent matches have been a gutting 2-1 defeat to Manchester United in the cup where we outplayed those overpaid prawn munchers for 119 minutes until they scored a second……but we gave it our best!

 We followed that up with a 5-1 drubbing to Rotheram….so up then a massive downer!

 However the match of the century , Crewe Alex v’s Port Vale is this weekend and I’ll be there, shouting myself hoarse with the rest of them, but not bossing the midfield ( which is what they really need!)

 In honour of this big derby match I thought I’d teach you all the words to the favourite song in the stands:

‘When I was just a little boy, I asked my mother, what should I be?’

‘Should I be Vale?  Should I be Stoke?…….this is what she said to me’

‘Wash your mouth out son! And fetch your fathers gun!’

‘And shoot the Clayhead Scum’

‘Scum scum scum scum etc etc etc’   

Come on Crewe!
