And Chelsea has celery.  I prefer octopuses, but maybe that’s because I’m a hockey fan, but both teams have a history of throwing somethign onto the field/ice of play… if that makes sense.. I don’t know.  So, whatever, point is that Chelsea fans are getting in trouble for throwing the veggie onto the pitch, and what’s funny is that what took the Cincinnati Bengals a plethora of arrests to do, took a few upset refs in Chelsea, who set up an anonymous phone line for fans who notice others throwing celery.  “Oh, you killed a guy with a spoon, super.  No I’m not in for anything like that… I threw celery.”

Though apparently a growing problem with it landing on the pitch, Chelsea fans have been throwing celery among themselves, and singing an unprintable song about the vegetable, for more than two decades.

I love that wording, “unprintable song”.  I challenge that term, “unprintable song”.  Unprintable?  No.  In need of some minor editing? Yes.

Celery, Celery,

If she don’t ***,

I’ll tickle her bum,

With a lump of celery

That may even be the tame version, I found it on some English dude’s page, and since he is English he must be a credible source.  This is what I love about English sports fans; sport is a celebration, much more so than in the United States.  Where in the U.S. could we ever adopt a song about celery being used in that manner?  Yea, nowhere.  I’d love to hear hoops fans signing that on CBS.
