Like a night out in Sheffield

ST LUKE'S: Spent the weekend either at work or enjoying this early Spring. Yesterday we were on the Heath and at one stage it looked like we'd have to call the whole thing off but then late in the afternoon the clouds vanished and the park was again awash in sunlight.

The highlight was a trip down to the Valley on Saturday afternoon to see the mighty Sheffield United take on Charlton Athletic in a key relegation dogfight.We had away tickets which meant we got to sit with a couple of thousand braying Yorkies. The game finished 1-1 which, all things considered, was a good result that should see us dodge the drop.

Obviously a key part of English football matches is the singing and there were a number of great chants ringing out. I was quite surprised though when I discovered my team's anthem basically compares the team to a chip sandwich.

You fill up my senses
Like a gallon of Magnet
Like a packet of Woodbines
Like a good pinch of snuff
Like a night out in Sheffield
Like a greasy chip butty
Like Sheffield United
Come fill me again....
Na Na Na Naa Naa Naaaaa, ooo!
