For my first (and well overdue) chant in a million, I've decided to start with the basics. Anyone who has had the pleasure of watching a game at Goodison will no doubt have heard this echoing around its four rickety stands:It's a grand old team to play for,It's a grand old team to support,And if, you know, your history,It's enough to make your heart go wooooooaaaahhh,We don't care what the red shite say,What the fuck do we care?Because we always know,That there's gonna be show,When the Everton boys are there!E-ver-ton!!! E-ver-ton!!! E-ver-ton!!!What I love most about it is how it starts out all nice, with a gentle nod to our illustrious history before ripping into the Gobshites (or any team thats facing us in red for that matter), in a vulgar diatribe. The two essential ingredients of any good football chant I'm sure you'll agree.
