This classic chant usually finds its way into the match somewhere, although it has been used a bit less often this year. To the tune of Winter Wonderland:

Over there (point to quiet section), it’s so quiet
Over here, it’s a riot

This chant is on the Timbers Army Chant Sheet.

In total they have been crowned champions of Europe four times. That is feat only four other clubs can claim, well until Saturday when three time winners Barcelona and Man U play their final.
