Despite having only made a brief cameo appearance against Everton for his debut there is already a Chelsea Cucurella song being sung by the away fans at Goodison.

Chelsea Cucurella Song Lyrics
The Chelsea Cucurella song goes something like this
It has taken a while but there is now a Marcus Alonso Chelsea song that captures the cult status that his goals and assists are generating.
We are not sure exactly when it was first heard during a game, but it has been around for at least the Christmas period.
The Arsenal game was the loudest I have heard it, because we were away from home where the atmosphere is always better and because he scored a crucial goal. It is now also common any time we have a free-kick in a dangerous position.
This video was taken just after Alonso scored against Arsenal at the Emirates to give us the lead. Unfortunately, a Hector Bellerin stunner denied us what would have been a hard-fought win.
Marcus Alonso Runs Down The Wing For Me (and scores)
Alonso has now scored more goals than any other defender in the Premier League since and has made the left wing-back position his own. He has scored 12 goals from all over the place and established himself as a free kick specialist.
Marcus Alonso Chant Lyrics
The Marcus Alonso chant is set to the Heartbeat theme tune (a defunct UK soap opera) and is a real favourite of mine.
The lyrics are simple and go like this
Marcus, Marcus Alonso runs down the wing for me
DA dA dA dA, dA dA dA dA dA
Marcus, Marcus Alonso runs down the wing for me
DA DA DA DA, DA DA DA DA DA
Marcus, Marcus Alonso runs down the wing for me
DA DA DA DA, DA DA DA DA DA
Repeat to fade
This is no the first attempt at a song for Marcus, but it is certainly the best. The ooooooooooooh Marcus Alonso one is not too bad, but its not got the energy or fun of the one in the video.
Chelsea have once again gone out and deliberately spited every poorly spoken pundit, particularly those who have played for Liverpool by signing Papy Djilobodji.
Not only will he be a commentators nightmare but fans will also take a bit of time getting used to pronouncing the name of our new defender from Nantes. This is why signing John Stones would have been better, as Al Murray would say “a beautiful British name”.
British pundits and fans struggle with even the simplest foreign name, stumbling over accents silent vowels and a plethora of other factors that mean that we rarely pronounce a players surname the way they do in his homeland.
With Azpilicueta Chelsea fans came up with a simple yet culturally offensive solution, we just call him Dave. The player does not seem to mind and it was a simple solution.
So if Azpilicueta is now “Dave” what should we call Djilobdji?
Although he will likely just be known as Papy, my personal preference when using his surname would be to call him Jeff. It’s short simple and effective, not even the most heavily accented Glaswegian element of our support could trip up on this one.
It would allow us to bask in the glory of Paul Merson making regular gaffes, safe in the knowledge that we will never suffer his fate. Always thinking of the pennies this could take off, “Papy Jeff” would make a great name to print on the back of shirts and lend him to immediate cult status across the league.
Ok so this post is a little fanciful but it’s been a tough few weeks to be a Blues fan, time to bring the fun back.
I look forward to seeing whether Papy Jeff will be hit of miss for Chelsea for the rest of the season.
It is the song that really got Chelsea fans going in the triumphant last few weeks of the season. Here is a video of the Cesc Fabregas Magic Hat song being led by Cesc Fabregas and his daughter
Cesc Fabregas is magic he wears a magic hat
He Could Have Signed For Arsenal but he said no “F$%K that
He passes with his left foot, he passes with his right
And when we win the league again we’ll sing this song all night
