It came just ahead of the more traditional call to rival supporters: “You’re not singing anymore.”
The third, backed by eight in ten, was about ex-Brighton and West Ham striker Bobby Zamora and sung to the tune of Dean Martin’s That’s Amore.
It goes: “When the ball hits the goal, it’s not Shearer or Cole — that’s Zamora.”
Taunts to players perceived to be overweight of “Who ate all the pies?” and to beleaguered managers of “You’re getting sacked in the morning” made up the top five.
Researchers for betting site BettingTips4You.com asked 2,650 Premier League fans for their favourite songs and chants of all time.
“Your teeth are offside” sung to former Liverpool striker Luis Suarez was voted the sixth most popular.
The Liverpool fans’ chant to former striker and Republic of Ireland international Robbie Keane — “He’s fast, he’s red, he talks like Father Ted” — came tenth.
