we need a clever one for watson as well.

I never even knew it was supposed to sound like monks. We should at least do the clap clap thing once in a while because it's easy for the crowd to join in. "Cool" only goes so far when your goal is to get the rest of the crowd joining in.

Variety is, of course, the spice of life so props to people for thinking up unique contributions.

Back to the subject:

I personally think the Pope cheer is a bad choice. Even from within the Loyalists section, it's impossible to tell what is being said! You can't join in on something that sounds like "Ahhhh ay ohhhhhhhhhhhhh ahhhhh mmmmmmmmm." It doesn't have spread-ability. I miss the good old "Eh-dee Poh-ope!"

Oh well. Distinctive is good or something. 😛

It was discussed here:

and handed out on a little sheet of paper at the WCQ too.

Fuegote, a good jamie watson chant is in the works. More info to come!

The sad fact about soccer chants is that most people not participating in them can't tell what they are regardless of the words.

I'll claim "Not freakish enough to read every single post" as an excuse. :P

When I think of "sparky" I always think of the song, "It only takes a spark to get a fire going..." That would be a good one to adjust.

Don't feel too bad. I miss a lot of them, too.

I click on "New Posts" and get a whole list. Then, about half way through the list, my computer forgets them all and says "No Results". :upset: I don't always find the ones I missed.
