Is “He Went For A S—” The Greatest Soccer Chant Of Any And All Time?

by Dan Fogarty | 3:39 pm, January 22nd, 2013

I’m not qualified to answer that question, folks. I’m merely presenting it as a possibility. Am I being hyperbolic? Perhaps, a bit. But watch this video of Southampton fans serenading their ascendant midfielder –Jason Puncheon had just returned from taking a mysterious break down the tunnel– and tell me this isn’t a brilliant piece of chantwork. The spontaneity. The cadence. The lyrics! And if the smirk from Puncheon doesn’t say, “Why yes, I may have in fact been taking a s—,” then I don’t know what kind of smirk does.

Ric Bucher …And I'm OK with you saying they'll be better down the line w/out Rudy or Mayo for too much $. Just stop w/the they're-better-now ish.

Gregg Doyel Column: I like Lionel Hollins - kind man - but he's out of his league against the Spurs http://t.co/kp1L85VQ9S

Ric Bucher …roster is not as versatile as the one with them. A deeper run doesn't always = better. Sometimes it = more favorable matchups.
