I think it was Leicester who also sang champions of England you've never been that, yet we have twice haha
Leicester’s song it mis-heard and they love it when other clubs mis-hear it.
Their song is:
Vichai had a dream,
He bought a football team,
He came from Thailand and now he’s one of our own,
We play from the back and counter attack,
Champions of England,
You MADE us sing that ...
When teams mis-hear it, like our fans often have and sing ‘we’ve won’t it two times…’ then their response is often:
‘Just like Forest, you live in the past’

They sing that now but they definitely started out singing "You'll never sing that" at us. I went to Leicester v Blackburn in the FA Cup a couple of years ago and the Leicester fans were bizarrely singing "Jamie Vardy, he's won more than you" at the away end.

At what point does 2016 become living in the past, I wonder.

The state of the Zwolle group made it clear where there is a link up between the 2 sets of fans. Probably met in the Sports direct sales 1 year.
Seen some weird comments from some of theirs regarding how they would have won had there injured players been available (ignoring the fact none of them would get in our side) remember though they weren't there for us just the love of their side. Obviously the boycott must kick in every other home game.
The standard of the locals as we headed from and to the station was an eye opener.
I have mentioned it before about the missing / injured players. We were missing, Ramsey, Benson, Jordan Beyer, Hannibal and the illustrious Magic Mike Tresor.
Not that their injured players would have made a difference, but if we both had fully fit squads we would probably have won by a far greater margin.
It's like they think it's harsh on them to have missing players, yet we're not allowed to have any?
All of our missing players are beyond anything they had in their squad.
Beyond deluded that lot.

That isn't the song I'm referring too...
The direct champions of England you've never sung that or something similar on repeat is the one I'm talking about same as b4stards sung on Saturday

They also go on about being Champions of England - that’s reserved for the team that wins the Championship (the clue’s in the name). They bought the Premiership - that’s it.
It was actually Jack that bought the Premier League for himself, Rovers were just a vessel for him to achieve the adulation his ego craved.
Once that was achieved it was always going to be a slippery slide back down to where they belong.
They are still managing to punch above their weight so some credit must go to Eustace.

Football fans including our own are so blinkered to there own club if we have all our injured players available as well that would make us a better team, the majority would at least improve the bench a number would be starters though.

So not this one then? It’s the only one I remember them singing about it.

When Blackburn fans I know dust of their we won the title cliché, a simple everyone knows you bought it reply really does get them hot under the collar trying to explain away the simple facts about Walkers money.
