Another of life's little mysteries solved

According to popular legend, "[w]hen David Beckham started dating Posh Spice opposing fans chanted: 'Does she take it up the arse?'".

Quite why he was singled out for this was a mystery to me, and I'm not aware he ever responded one way or another, but Posh Spice has now finally given us an answer.

Actually, they've got that wrong. They used to chant 'Do you take her up the Arse...nal'

Ya see, footie chants are always funny.

My favourite recent football chant I've heard of is one Everton fans sing about their Tourettes suffering goalkeeper Tim Howard:

" Tim Timminy, Tim Timminy, Tim Tim Cheroo,
We've got Tim Howard and he says 'Fuck You' "

Having clicked through I can confidently state that the problem with the WWW is that it gives you access to for more information than you really ever want to know about.

@Lola,
I agree, it's the Bob Seger, 'wish I didn't know now, what I didn't know then...'

M, I suspect it may be the infamous Ali G/Beckhams interview that started the chant in that direction? As it were.

In World Cup news, following Nigeria's exit from the World Cup, the Nigerian goalkeeper has personally offered to reimburse the expenses of all the fans who travelled to watch the team play at the World Cup. Refunds will be processed as soon as he receives personal and banking details, including pin numbers and mother's maiden name...

Ross, one of my fave's was the liverpool / Peter Crouch one:

'He's big, He's Red, His feet stick out the bed, Peter Crouch, Peter Crouch..'

which is nearly as good as our away one..

'We piss on your fish, yes we do, yes we do..'

Posh's arse still raising these issues. Perhaps MW site can narrow it down a bit.My hope is we can put a date to this Beckham arse antic.

I was at Old Trafford Man U end for the visit of West Ham many years a go. As I recall it: John Hartson blasts one past Peter Schmeichel. Making the Dane look like a wet schoolgirl. West Ham on top for ten minutes and the other Hammers striker gets a surprise one on one.I cannot remember his name but he is the one that Harry used if he had an esoteric bet on in the far east.Eg, Ball to be kicked out for a throw from kick off, Ball bursts,lights goes out etc. Anyway, this time the Dane does his giant trick and the West Ham striker loses his bottle.Cocks it up.
Whole ground senses that was their last chance and West Ham are not going to be able to defend a 1-0.
West Ham fans sense this most clearly. Hence the rip roaring 'posh spice takes it up the arse, posh Spice...'
Beckham does his 'You fat bastard' impression to West Ham fans in return.
What I liked was that after about ten minutes, in a broad Lancashire accent the Man U fans started to sing:
Posh Spice is a lovely lass, posh spice is a lovely lass...

Final score ManU 2 West Ham 1

Hopefully this will start the dates rolling for those with some stats, and we can identify from which year Posh was first anally penertated, according to the West Ham fans.

Just what I wanted to know before dinner.

What does she mean she's like a gay man? She shags anyone? She likes to wear tight white T/shirts and black jeans? She is fond of Amyl nitrite?
She is a 'friend' of Chris Huhne?

It's stopped working...

Mark Wadsworth said...

Ta for input, but Chuckles is rewriting history here - SBC asked the question long after the chant had become famous - he did not inspire it.

"What does she mean she's like a gay man?" She means she'll come round and criticise your curtains.

I'm a bit late, but I recall a particularly good chant by Arsenal supporters about Emmanuel Petit.

Monsieur Petit was a member of the victorious French team in the 1998 World Cup Final.

With a rare touch of education, they chanted "He's big, he's blond, he won the Coup Du Monde".
