Nice to hear a chant that's fairly original for a change. Interested to see what it sounds like at 100mph when the cricket field stand gets hold of it though :lol:
Great chant. Been going back over and over in my head since yesterday.

Not sure we can claim any originality though, Palace have been doing it for ‘Super Pat Vieira’ for a long while now.

Loved it at Watford, we really boomed it out of the away end and for about 20 mins after the final whistle!!

Must say with my two lads (10 and 8) roaring it all the way home on the 4 hour drive it got a little repetitive :D

Great chant!

Henry Winter in The Times quotes the Jackson chant:

“We’ve got super Michael Jackson;
he knows exactly what we need;
Tarky at the back, Weghorst in attack;
Burnley’s staying in the Premier League”

However, this little piece is headed:

Mee’s calm head so important to Burnley

"When all were celebrating Josh Brownhill’s late winner for Burnley at Watford, Mee stayed typically calm, knowing there was four minutes plus stoppage time to go. As Brownhill sprinted to celebrate with the fans, Mee gathered the caretaker manager, Michael Jackson, and coach, Paul Jenkins, for a talk, focused on seeing out the win. Jackson rightly gets praise for the ten points from 12 since Sean Dyche’s exit, and even has a fans’ chant, but Mee’s influence is immense."
