Its the pronounciation of paella and Estrella that does me.
I’m absolutely convinced that when I went to the Rotherham game the last line was sung as ‘his football is magic’? Then when I went to my next match, Norwich A, it had changed to the Chelsea reference.
Didn't say it was offensive, of course it isn't offensive. Just saying Marti is all class and intelligence and worshipping him with a song that has him the equivalent of eating Roast Beef and downing lagers means (in my opinion) it isn't a great chant.
Thing is: I wouldn't have a problem with German fans singing about Harry Kane eating roast beef and downing lagers,* I'd take it as affectionate and therefore a sort of compliment to the UK. Everyone has some sort of cliche about their identity, I'd take that one over being slave traders or imperialists or the one about the Irish being thick.
* I do have a problem with the lager thing, it's ale for Christ's sake, lager when properly brewed is a German or Czech drink and very good too, mass produced lager from Carling etc is about as traditionally British as McDonalds.
It's shockingly bad. Puerile and embarrassing. Was mildly tolerable at first when it was getting mumbled and mangled by a couple of dozen exuberant fans - couldn't really hear the words and obviously it's a timeless evergreen tune so no worries really. But, as it's taken hold and the true brainless horror of it has become apparent I've been stunned. Presume it has earworm properties akin to a song like Agadoo (and similar mindless random lyricism). Still, each to their own but it clearly will NEVER cascade around the stands as it's obvious too many people feel bilious about it. I'm not a killjoy, I'd happily get behind something jaunty like "Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole. Marti! Martiiieee!
I thought it was utter garbage but now I see it was copied from Chelsea fans I despise it even more. Surely our fans are capable of creating something less basic and puerile?
I think we're missing a trick here. I mean Marti and party rhymes perfectly...
One for the lady supporters..
I'm a Marti girl, in a Marti world We played on plastic, it's fantastic You can play with Chair, cos he’ll be everywhere Imagination, goals are his creation
Come on, Marti, let's go party (ah ah ah yeah) Come on, Marti, let's go party (ooh oh, ooh oh) Come on, Marti, let's go party (ah ah ah yeah) Come on, Marti, let's go party (ooh oh, ooh oh)
It's all relative isn't it? When I was a yoot, I used to sing Magic Hat with way more exuberance than it merited, especially the descant ("he scores all faaackin night"). I once kept the "Ohhhhhhhh" intro going and building up for nearly 5 minutes which drew some annoyed glances. Fair one that, as it was 10am. On a Sunday. At a Chelsea fan's funeral.

Some of you really need to knock one out to take the anger out of your lives, Jesus Christ.
Think you are overstating it there, sir. The OP said it was a great epitome of terrace humour. Some of us disagree and think it is ordinary at best. Don't think there is any anger about it.

What a wonderful opportunity to bring Estrella to the clubs beer taps and be done with that luke warm piss they’ve been serving up for far too long.
The jokers who work behind the ramp at Loftus Road couldn’t spell Estrella never mind pour it
And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles
