..is anyone else as embarassed as i am about this chant? no wonder that the national media perceive us as 'witless' and 'uneducated'. the chant SHOULD be "we won it TWICE"..
..i hope that this will be corrected in time for our next televised game otherwise further shame will befall our club because of grammatical innacuracies..

Jokes are no longer allowed. I have found this out to my cost.
Apparently Ilford Dave is a by-product of a larger sociological problem and his weight issues reflect a growing concern we should all have regarding the readiness of our nation to deal with the problems facing us in the 21st Century.
And not a fat ginger bastard.

A) It is sung as such, initially at least, in replying to the kop's 'we won it 5 times'. We won it twice doesn't have the same affect when what we are doing is comically comparing our achievements to that of the most successful English club of all time.
B) Whats wrong with blocks 20-23

Hear Hear, I would also point out that on many occassions, the match day officials have a defined lineage, confirmed by govermental certification. I do wish Stoke City supporters would familiarise themselves with the parental status of an official prior to launching into what is often an unpleasant and offensive chant regarding their parentage.

I do wish Stoke City supporters would familiarise themselves with the parental status of an official prior to launching into what is often an unpleasant and offensive chant regarding their parentage. To be fair, I was heavily involved in a project investigating the masturbatory habits of one Christiano Ronaldo over the 2 weeks preceding the Manchester United vs Stoke City game. Much analysis and scientific study took place before an official confirmation to all travelling fans was made, declaring that he was indeed a wanker. Much chanting ensued, but only once the results of the study had been verified and made official.

scfc75,
I too found myself involved with this project, and although i didn't investgate the question first hand, the evidence as to the masturbatory habits of the player concerned is overwhelming, and was more than happy to trust your research on this matter in this instance.
I am currently working on comparing and contrasting the West Bromwich Albion football shirt with a Tesco plastic bag, in order for humorous ditties relating to the two can also be considered factually accurate. My report should be available in March.

Erm, as a block 23er I would like to point out that Block 23 is not one of the non-singing Boothen blocks, it is us, Block 24 and the corner lads that get most of the songs going around the ground. Blocks 22 and 21 mind...

Although I haven't taken up the cases regarding C.Ronaldo and his masturbatory habits or West Bromwich Albions shirts and there likeness to Tesco carrier bags I have decided to explore the family tree of a one, Phillip Brown, and am currently waiting for a reply of his suspected father, an oopa-loompa

OMG, I'd never realised the syntactical anomolies Just think if we sang: We've won it twicewe could get an extra word in and say the autoglass trophy we've won it just twiceMind you if push comes to shove I think we haven't actually won it twice. I think we won the Autoglass once and the AutoShields once. But I'm probably wrong

The words I sing are we've won it two times and that is grammatically correct imo.
How much free time do some people have to worry about stuff like that?
