It's not too controversial to claim football fans lack originality in their chants.
The "he scores when he wants" chant has been appropriated by supporters of at least half the teams in the football league, and you don't want to get Spurs and Man United fans started on who did "glory glory" first.
Now it's West Ham's turn to cry plagiarism, after Arsenal debuted a very familiar-sounding chant for Mesut Özil.
Compare and contrast...

Yes, it's the same, but is it that big a deal?
West Ham fans were furious.

Though some were more embarrassed for their counterparts.

The Arsenal faithful didn't seem too bothered.

Especially when it turned out West Ham weren't even the first ones to come up with it.
