Is Alex Neil a possible Alexander O'Neil ?
I feel a flag coming on ' we never knew love like this before'
That's very good

One thing that struck me at the Leeds game was the terrible "Hugill Hugill Hugill" chant that is basically us just shouting his name. So it got me thinking why don't we have a song chorus going before this to be a bit more imaginative.
A song I've never heard as a chant at a football match is Laid by James, which is surprising considering the pace of song and catchy chords. Maybe we could be original and bring it into the game.
How about...
He's a Boro lad he scores goals for fun
We signed him from Vale for next to fuck all
He's our star striker and we're not letting him go
He's driving us crazy
Jordan Hugill, Jordan Hugill
Then the Hugill Hugill Hugillllllll as part of the the "come home" and eeeeeeh bit Tim Booth does at the end.

Scrap the 'PNE PNE PNE' and 'we're the one and only north end' chants or at least sing them once a game rather than the only two sings we sings. Also need to replace the 'Oh seani maguire' which is just the same as Aiden mcgeady one, hardly imaginative and creative. A possible one for Ben Pearson could be...
Oh Super Ben Pearson
He is the f***ing man
He's our midfield maestro
He'll snap you if he can
He plays in blue and white
For Alex Neil's men
And when he gets a yellow card we'll sing this again
The tune is widely used but one example is from leeds https://youtu.be/9qswkHp38v0
I'm still liking this to the tube of Dizzy by Vic Reeves and the Wonderstuff:
You're so dizzy your head is spinning
Like a whirlpool it never ends
And it's Hugill making it spin
He's making you dizzy..

Originally by Tommy Roe in 1969. You're probably too young to know that.
Aye Kathryn - a little before my time. Just looked the original up though - far better than the cover!
