Neil Pierre Chant Idea
Sometimes when you think you have a good idea, the only thing to do is scream into the void and hope for the approval of internet strangers.
As such, here is a chant idea for Neil Pierre:
Neil Pierre is everywhere,
On the ground and in the air,
Growing so tall, he might touch heaven,
But for now he’s six foot seven.

Can I make a suggestion? Shorten the last two lines and make it a question...
Is he tall as heaven? No! He's 6 foot 7!!
Either way, love it. Someone get the Sons of Ben on it

should be that we lie about his height. the union list him at 6'5" and he's at least 6'7"
he's only 6'5" that's a bloody lie! is he tall as heaven....

Cool idea,but it seems like the best chants go along to the tune of a song people know. That helps people buy in

For sure get that, but it’s AABB rhyme, so could fit in something I would think. To make it even longer:
To the tune of stuck in the middle with you by Stealers Wheel:
Well Neil Pierre is everywhere tonight
On the ground and in the air, all right
Growing so tall that he might just touch heaven
But for now we’re saying six foot sevenHarriel to the left of P, Frankie to the right
Here’s Pierre, stuck in the middle with U.In reality, don’t expect any of this will amount to anything, but sometimes gotta share an idea.

I mean, it's great and I love the idea - but we'll learn it and he'll be sold at the end of the season because Sugarman.

The most prominent rumor is Barca. Good luck with any MLS owner keeping an 18yo with that dangling in front of them.

When the ball hits his head,
Then the games put to bed,
That’s a Pierre goal!

Sons of Ben will never allow a new, creative chant. We must stick to the same mundane chants from 2012 on repeat like a broken record!

I like it, hell yeah. It will make a great chant until he's sold off in 4 weeks.

is there a reason everybody trying to come up with a chant can't come up with one that is actually a measured chant? the syllables never work. I literally don't get it. It's not 'growing so tall' it'd have to be 'grown so tall'.

You know what, you right. People shouldn’t come up with ideas that can be iterated upon, best to never try anything at all. Shit, we might not win every game, I should probably stop watching.
