I don't get why it is sung as 'Chrissie'
His name has same amount of syllables as Gus Poyet but we didn't sing 'Gussie Poyet'......

Your support is not that great
"Chris Hughton", for whatever reason, isn't a name that lends itself to that many decent chants, so "one Chrissy Hughton" seems to be the one we're stuck with.
Regardless of that, I do think Garth Crooks is a weird old pundit, often unsure of the point he wants to make, rather like those of us reading or watching.

Garth Crooks can't hear anything over his own internal monologue saying "I know, I can't believe I'm getting away with making a living out of this either".
This is rather an odd thing to get on Crook's back about, esp bearing in mind the amount of other ammunition there is littered around him.
Chris Hughton might just be the most universally loved long term manager, in the Premier League, certainly top 5 with Pep, Potch, Rafa and Smug, and yet you wouldn't really know it listening to the chants.

I don't remember singing Gus Poyet's blue and white army. It was we're f....... brilliant for the Withdean Championship season.

If in doubt ALWAYS use the NATO phonetic alphabet. It always scans perfectly: "Charlie Hotel's blue and white army"
It was more Amex era. Remember singing it for about 20 mins straight at Bristol city away

I used to think it was really funny walking past police and saying Charlie Uniform November Tango is a funny voice and making walkie talkie noises

'Chris Hughton' sung to the tune previously reserved for Steve Foster (m' lord) would work just fine..

He walked into the club
Like he was walking on a yacht
We were heading for League 1
But he didn't give a jot
He had one eye on the table
And he began to scheme and plot
And all the teams dreamed you'd be their manager
Dreamed you'd be the manager and
You're not vain
You don't think that this chant is about you
You're not vain
I bet you think this chants about Bruno
Don't you
Don't you

Don't you

Said the same in the 'Are Hughton’s tactics too negative'. Thought some love needed to be shown as nearly 75% agreed.

I am sure Garth Crooks was born and brought up by the Victoria Ground in Stoke in one of the rows of terraced streets off London Road, just over the byepass from the neew ground. Although wikipedia page puts paid to this saying he was born in Bucknall to the north. I have seen him interviewed before saying how someone would say 'Stanley Matthews is in the high street' and they would run up to see him with their football, which made me think it was nearer the old ground.
Anyhow if he still lived there, all he would have heard (especially leading up to half time) was Chris Hughton's BLUE AND WHITE ARMY, over and over again. It was fanatstic as the players walked off.
They must be good mates (same age and both in the same team that won the 81,82 FA CUP and 84 European Cup) I just hope his comments are not based on chats with Chris, who secretly bemoans our lack of support for him.

Not in the North Stand it isn’t. In fact I don’t remember the last home game it was sung at. And the main reason I say this is because I made this point to the group I go with during the last home game I went to (I was away for WHU).

He will need to change his name if he wants a half decent chant, nothing fits
Perhaps we could just mumble out a few words, shout Chris Hughton really fast, while "ALBION" is being sung over it.
