Q & A: Supporters singing for their supper
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Q. Are there any European football equivalents to Oldham Athletic's new terrace song "Meat Pie, Sausage Roll" and, if so, what food is featured? I ask this because a French colleague once told me about an early 1980s Paris St-Germain chant featuring "Croissants et Boissants"?
A. For a short while, a small section of the crowd at Millwall away games during the early 1990s sang "cheese and biscuits, cheese and biscuits, soooooooup, soooooooup!" I heard it first during a FA Cup tie at Norwich. FC St Pauli fans in Hamburg sing - in translation - "Kebab, Tzatziki and a salad, Kebab, Tzatziki and a salad..." Lord knows why. I suppose the most famous must be the celery song of Chelsea fans, "Celery... celery, if she won't come, I'll tickle her bum, With a stick of celery! Celery..."
