[Albion] We dont chant Chris Hughton's name enough

[Petee]

Although 'Chrissy Hughton' is a bit shite.

As Corgi suggests something bespoke, that rhymes, and has Chris' actual name would probably be sung considerably more.

I don't get why it is sung as 'Chrissie'

His name has same amount of syllables as Gus Poyet but we didn't sing 'Gussie Poyet'......

 

[Monkey Man]

"Chris Hughton", for whatever reason, isn't a name that lends itself to that many decent chants, so "one Chrissy Hughton" seems to be the one we're stuck with.

Regardless of that, I do think Garth Crooks is a weird old pundit, often unsure of the point he wants to make, rather like those of us reading or watching.

 

[A1X]

Garth Crooks can't hear anything over his own internal monologue saying "I know, I can't believe I'm getting away with making a living out of this either".

 

[Stat Brother]

This is rather an odd thing to get on Crook's back about, esp bearing in mind the amount of other ammunition there is littered around him.

Chris Hughton might just be the most universally loved long term manager, in the Premier League, certainly top 5 with Pep, Potch, Rafa and Smug, and yet you wouldn't really know it listening to the chants.

I don't remember singing Gus Poyet's blue and white army. It was we're f....... brilliant for the Withdean Championship season.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

If in doubt ALWAYS use the NATO phonetic alphabet. It always scans perfectly: "Charlie Hotel's blue and white army"

It was more Amex era. Remember singing it for about 20 mins straight at Bristol city away

I used to think it was really funny walking past police and saying Charlie Uniform November Tango is a funny voice and making walkie talkie noises

Kids hey

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Garth really seems to be going on a journey with Brighton and Hove Albion this season doesn't he?!

 

[Miami Seagull]

'Chris Hughton' sung to the tune previously reserved for Steve Foster (m' lord) would work just fine..

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

He walked into the club
Like he was walking on a yacht
We were heading for League 1
But he didn't give a jot
He had one eye on the table
And he began to scheme and plot
And all the teams dreamed you'd be their manager
Dreamed you'd be the manager and

You're not vain
You don't think that this chant is about you
You're not vain
I bet you think this chants about Bruno
Don't you
Don't you

 

[Buzzer]

Even Chuck Norris is afraid to call out Chris Hughton's name.

 

[Hamilton]

What position does this Chris Hughton play? Seems invisible to me.

[HalfaSeatOn]

Said the same in the 'Are Hughton’s tactics too negative'. Thought some love needed to be shown as nearly 75% agreed.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Early leaver for his free half time bevvy otherwise he would have heard the 5 minutes of chanting. It's a long walk from the bench to the exit and CH punched 4 stewards, swore at a copper, pushed a wheelchair on to the pitch and kicked a little kid who asked for his jacket, all the time clapping the away fans who were singing his name.

It is hard to hear anything with his continuous talking.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

I am sure Garth Crooks was born and brought up by the Victoria Ground in Stoke in one of the rows of terraced streets off London Road, just over the byepass from the neew ground. Although wikipedia page puts paid to this saying he was born in Bucknall to the north. I have seen him interviewed before saying how someone would say 'Stanley Matthews is in the high street' and they would run up to see him with their football, which made me think it was nearer the old ground.

Anyhow if he still lived there, all he would have heard (especially leading up to half time) was Chris Hughton's BLUE AND WHITE ARMY, over and over again. It was fanatstic as the players walked off.

They must be good mates (same age and both in the same team that won the 81,82 FA CUP and 84 European Cup) I just hope his comments are not based on chats with Chris, who secretly bemoans our lack of support for him.

 

[sussex_guy2k2]

It must be very difficult to hear if you only go to one game per season and your name is Garth Crooks. But maybe somebody should tell him that "Chrissy Hughton's blue and white army" contains the name of Chrissy Hughton and is sung at every(?) Brighton and Hove Albion match.

Not in the North Stand it isn’t. In fact I don’t remember the last home game it was sung at. And the main reason I say this is because I made this point to the group I go with during the last home game I went to (I was away for WHU).

 

[maffew]

He will need to change his name if he wants a half decent chant, nothing fits

Perhaps we could just mumble out a few words, shout Chris Hughton really fast, while "ALBION" is being sung over it.
