    I was just reminiscing about that afternoon at Bramall Lane when he had the pleasure of hammering the final nail in Sheffield United's championship coffin and it got me thinking how good it was hearing the Barnsley fans singing the relegation version of their 'Greasy Chip Butty' song at them with such gusto! Anyway, now we are back in the same division as our friends in S6 I thought it might be good to have a new version of their song celebrating some of the good things about being from Barnsley. It probably wouldn't take off at Oakwell but it would be nice to out-sing them with a version of their own song at Bramall Lane again.

    So.... Here's my first stab at a self-deprecating Barnsley version. Feel free to propose any line changes you think would sound better.

    You fill up my senses
    Like shoutin' 'Scabs' at the Forest
    Like striking with Scargill
    Like a shift darn the pit
    Like Laikin' wi mi ferret
    Like my trusty old flat cap
    Oh Barns-er-ley FC
    Come thrill me again

    You fill up my senses
    Like an Evening with Dickie
    Like a neet art at Pharoes
    Like shouting 'Arr much?!'
    Like moaning at Parky
    When he watches us at Wembley
    Oh Barns-er-lee FC
    Come thrill me again

    You fill up my senses
    Like a walk wi mi whippet
    Like a poem by McMillan
    Like flying ar Kes
    Like laughin' at the dee-dahs
    Like a feight wi the Pikies
    Oh Barns-er-lee FC
    Come thrill me again

    It took our fans long enough to learn the Blunts version, stick this out there and everyone should get the hang of it in time for the 2017/18 season.

    Yeah I agree... It just seemed appropriate given that the second line of the original song ends with the word 'forest'

    Sheffield United fans are an embarrassment to the human race.

    We should never ape their songs, apart from when we're taking the wee-wee out of them as at the Relegation Party.

    No thanks - the last thing we should be doing is nicking a tune from them

    Embarrassing is the right word. It's no wonder people take pi$$ out of Barnsley fans is it when we come up with this $hite...
