Anyone got any to share?

When I'd first heard the Issiah Jones song I couldn't really make out what the words were at all, and thought it was "he sounds like Morrissey", instead of "makes the Boro sing".

Also, thought "All Leeds aren't we" was "Oh Leeds army", and "if you hate Leeds United have a go" was "if you ain't Leeds United time to go".

Ever considered a hearing aid mate?
 
You are my Boro has changed over the years. A guy that was researching football chants once pointed out to me a shift between "you'll never notice how much I love you." And "you'll never know just how much I love you.... "
 
My then ten year old nephew and his pal when attending their first match at Ayresome Park believed the crowd were singing that the referee was a "wagon". We were like "yeah that's what they're singing...
 
It always amused me at AP when the crowd sang “Beef chowmein, chips and riiiyce”
I’m surprised we don’t hear a new version of “Chicken parmo, chips and saahlad”.
 
I used to hear a chant at away games that I was genuinely convinced went "Jermaine Easter, Jermaine Easter". I once posted on here to ask what it was, but only got joke replies.

I'm still not entirely convinced, but I think it might've been "We all hate Leeds scum".

'We're the finest team in football'


Grinds my gears.

Not sure of your exact gripe with it here, but given your username, could that not be a regional thing?

Boro fans definitely sing different lyrics to more southerly clubs.
Football Clichés podcast made me aware of it, because they're all from the south or Midlands and used "we're by far the greatest team" etc.

I think our version is fairly unique, from what I can see.

You never notice how much I love you - instead of you never know dear how much I love you.

Not so much misheard as muffled..

Diane Youdale (Jet) strutting her stuff on the green bit during our final season at Ayresome Park. I heard "get your..............." bellow out from the Holgate, before my old man's hands shielded my ears. 😇
