Thought this was worth its own thread. Aliwibble wrote the words, I reckon this one's a goer.

"Oh we'll drink a drink a drink
to Robbie the Pink, the Pink, the Pink.
The keeper of the Charlton goal.
Because he'll save all
your shots and your corners
And he'll eat your forwards whole.

    Players weight can be delicate subject - not too sure what he or management will make of it to be honest. Basically its calling him fat!
  • I spoke to Robbie at the player of the year and he mentioned that it was nicer last season as people had gone from calling him a fat barXXd to just a barXXd and that he was looking forward to a few years time when they simply refer to him as an averagely good goalkeeper.

    So I would avoid any home fan songs which refer to weight or eating.

    I like the start though.

    Totally agree - lose the 'eating' reference.
  • Still think No.1 in Bexleyheath from Brentford(?) last year is the best song we have for him, he seemed to be amused by it as well

    Great song and references to "eating forwards" are complimentary in my view in that they suggest he dominates his area.

    If the reference was to pies then you might have a point re weight issues etc but, in my opinion this works just fine as it is.

    Sorry - Rob gets enough stick from away fans about the weight issue, so any reference about eating should be dropped. 'Eating your forwards whole' has nothing to do with dominating his area - lets be straight!

    He's fat
    He's round
    He dresses like a clown

    We're not known for much to be fair, except for being quite poor fans. Certainly not good composers.

    Spooky as Hubby started to sing the Lily the Pink song for Robbie.

    Its a goer if someone could come up with half decent lyrics.

    No food references whatsoever so "ev'ry body's 'appy? you bet yer life they are" (an extract from another song for those of a certain age)

    And it refers to a drinking problem. Not good.

    Red Army has possible socialist undertones which could be offensive to non-Labour voters.....
