Danny Ings Is The King Of The Scummers !

After his performance at Aston Villa the plaudits are ringing out for Danny Ings from the pundits, but they were ringing out from the stands at Villa Park long before the final whistle as the fans sung his praises,

There were those back in the summer who suggested that Saints should not waste £20 million in completing the signing of Danny Ings after he spent last year on loan at the club, they are probably eating their words today.

But one group of Saints supporters has made it their mission to try and make up songs about the club and it's players that are something different than just copying other sides compositions and changing the names.

The Itchen North has risen this season to become the main source of noise taking over from the Northam End and although the Northam still has more numbers and more volume it lacks a little in orginality and the group in the Itchen North is determined to ramp up the noise and atmosphere in St Mary's and at away games.

Their latest song was composed after the victory against Portsmouth at Fratton Park when Danny Ings scored a brace and it has been getting louder as the weeks go on and at Villa Park it started to be taken up by more than just those who stand in the Itchen.

It's a simple song to sing and a well know tune that has been used before at football, originally being the hymn "Give me joy in my heart"

It goes as follows

Danny Ings is the King of the Scummers
Danny Ings is the King I Say
Danny Ings is the King of the Scummers
Smashing Pompey the Southampton Way !

Athough the tune is well known, the words are particular to Saints rather than just one word or two changed and that makes it different.

It was taken up at Villa Park and sung with gusto by the same people on the train on the way home and hopefully will be heard more at St Mary's.

Hopefully this won't be the last new song that comes out this season and hopefully as well it will help crank up the atmosphere at St Mary's as it has done on the road.

How will Man City react to Rodri blow?
Manchester City midfielder Rodri is arguably the best at what he does in world football.

But his season is already over due to a serious knee injury.
