Has the person making up these new chants got a small wang or something? 

Thats 2 songs now that involve a massive one.

They’re good songs on the whole but couldn’t they quite easily have been something slightly better lyrically, the Erin Cashin one could simply be he’s got a massive head? Explaining to kids what c*#ks and wangs are is becoming tedious.

Having said that, the Mendez Laing one sounds great in the stands and contributed to a great atmosphere yesterday. 

In NML's case, it's also racial stereotyping. Now, he may not be bothered about this at all, but it does show a degree of ignorance on the part of the lads who sing it and doesn't reflect well on DCFC fans as a whole. 

Or maybe I'm just getting old ?

I did think that too. I'm sure he's aware of it, but to make something of that aspect as opposed to just saying it's not 'daughter friendly' makes him sound a bit (not the right word here) wokey?

I also think it's unpleasant as he's not a porn star, and would surely prefer a football analogy! ?

I agree it's stupid but they sing the same about Cashin too (no matter how it originated) so how is it racial stereotyping? Just unoriginal

Correct. It’s sung about a lot of players up and down the country. Not very exciting. With Cashin, especially, I’m surprised the Harry Maguire song isn’t copied where it talks about the size of his head.

It was an image promoted by white slave owners to portray black men as uncivilised and savage, as being nothing more than a piece of meat. Applying it to a white player doesn't change the history of the slur or how it still triggers some people.

Yeah, we don't need to be drawing attention from the FA and Kick it out for singing about Mendez-Laing's penis.

Whilst it's obviously not intended to be offensive, the governing bodies won't see it that way.

Do we really need that kind of attention, labelled as racist? Probably best to bin it now.

We won't though, lads will be lads, bought their ticket, will do what they want.

I heard a couple of young girls singing this at MK... it didn't seem to catch on but I thought it sounded good. To the tune of Sugar, Honey, Honey I believe:

We've got Collins

dudududududu

And Lewis Dobbin

dudududududu

He passes to Sibleyyyy

Now we're going to Wembleyyyy*

*I thought about it and if we're in and around the playoffs later this season it could work! Otherwise maybe the last line could be something along the lines of...

And Wildsmith saves the penaltiesss

(especially since we don't really have a chant for him)
