Just Say No To Peado (chants)

Alex Ferguson is to plead with United fans not to sing the chorus of Pedophile songs at Arsene Wenger during the game against Arsenal on Monday night. He will address the songs in his programme notes having decided against an open letter to the supporters. Fergie discussed the topic some time ago saying "Manchester United and its supporters should know very well the chants that have been levelled at us over the years – ie songs about Munich [the 1958 air disaster] – and understand the sensitivity that is felt. I don't agree with it at all. There's enough to think about and admire in the game without resorting to denigrating people."

The most common chants are as follows "sit down you pedophile" which is sung when he stands in his technical area or else "with his packet of sweets and his cheeky smile, Arsene is a fucking pedophile" or the sickening "this is what it's like to be Wenger. This is what it's like to be vile. This is what it's like to be hanging out the back of a child, back of a child....."

A United spokesman addressed the situation recently stating "We have gone on the record several times about this disgusting chant. We don't condone it and have appealed to fans several times in the past but to no avail. There are many chants that opposing fans find objectionable and this is certainly one to which all decent supporters should object. We will take strong action against people who chant in that way. Season tickets will be revoked and we will remove people from the ground for it."
