Best and worst football chants

[Offshore Toon]

Brighton fans keep singing one song in particular that I think is really shit.

We're on our way, we're on our way
To the Premier League, on our way
How do we get there? I don't know
How do we get there? I don't care
All I know is we're on our way

Apart from that I remember somebody (Kikó?) mentioning the River Plate song Sos Cagon which is still great.

[Kikó]

Haven't heard that in ages :cool:

I'm a big fan of United's current number I'm into something good. Not a big fan of the butchering of some of the older songs to make shorter happy clappy hundred miles an hour versions like "From the Banks of the River Irwell".

[Jimmy Floyd]

These days, anything which isn't to the tune of Sloop John B is a great football chant.

I'm with Kiko on the butchering old songs at a fifty thousand beats per minute. I thought that was just a really niche thing that annoyed me. Not so it seems.

[Magic]

Barmy army. Barmy army.

Repeat sporadically for 90 minutes.

[Giggles]

That 'one of our own' bollocks.

[Byron]

Anything involving 'we support our local team' can fuck off.

I blame Tony Blair.

Compare how spurs do when the spurs go marching in compared to most chants and it's embarrassing. Slow and to the actual rhythm. It drives me crazy that people are in such a rush.

Still, at least they're not recording every second of the action like some tools.

[Magic]

Clapping really fast as well to accompany said butchery.

[phonics]

The locals here do the tetris song. No words. Just the song. I don't know if it goes under best or worst.

:rave:

Newcastle have one at the moment about Matt Ritchie, and one of the lines is "he wears his magic hat." Its just stupid.

[Dan]

Pompey chimes. For either category.

Duh duh duh duh, durdurdurdurdedur :cheer:

Whenever they visited the toon, they'd get this variant....

"Dur dur da dur .... shag your children."

[niko_cee]

Whatever happened to "Champions League? You're having a laugh!"? That seemed to drop off the face of the planet a while back.

[Shindig]

It's not on free-to-air any more.

[Lewis]

That 'You're fucking shit' seems to be new-ish, and it neatly captures everything wrong with football supporters.

[Offshore Toon]

Is that when goalkeepers take a goal kick? Although that's "you're shit! Aaaaaaaah."

[Lewis]

No, this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=411H6_BVHzM). Tottenham seem to get the most use out of it, which is kind of sad when you bear in mind that this right now is the best they will ever be, and they still won't win the league.

[Shindig]

I want to go back to a time when Seven Nation Army was never written. One for Jermaine Jenas fans, "He's got a mobile phone up his arse." to the tune of 'Whole World in His Hands'.

[Reg]

Kids love that. "It's a goal kick Daddy! They're going to do it!"

[Offshore Toon]

Kids are wankers.

We're on our way, we're on our way
To the Premier League, on our way
How do we get there? I don't know
How do we get there? I don't care
All I know is we're on our way
We're singing it now. :moop:

[Lewis]

'Big Jock Knew' is the best football chant.

[Spammer]

You fill up my senses,
Like a gallon of magnet,
Like a packet of woodbines,
Like a good pinch of snuff,
Like a night out in Sheffield,
Like a greasy chip butty,
Like Sheffield United,
Come fill me again.
Nah nah nah nah nah, ooo!

We're promoted lads :happycry:

[Magic]

I had to cut through Beeston on my own today. Lol at Hammer.

[Jimmy Floyd]

'You're fucking shit' is indeed awful. Always said with such passion as well, as if it truly matters whether the opposition are or are not fucking shit.

Considering you get scared when going for a piss it's probably not your type of place.

[phonics]

dam rekt sun.

[Offshore Toon]

What was the weapon that Magic hid when those Polish blokes went round to buy something?

Just realised that'd be great in a TTH pub quiz.

[Raoul Duke]

The correct answer for best is: "two Andy Gorams" :dc:

[wullie]

I don't like any of those Achy Breaky Heart chants.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Incessantly overusing one tune, whether it be that or the aforementioned Beach Boys cantation, seems to be the modern way with these things.

[Reg]

My favourite was from the Withdean years when Nathan Jones had a highly questionable haircut, and we sang (to the tune of "He's got the whole world in his hands") "He's got a dead squirrel on his head".

[Bartholomert]

'Bak Iste': Sung by 4th division Kocaelispor fans (used to be in the 1st division; very storied club and one of the first Turkish clubs with any success in Europe), the lyrics are effectively 'look at us, we're still here, now go play'. It's a romantic throw back to an earlier era of Turkish fans before they were sanitized by recent legal reforms / ticketing changes / new stadiums / more expensive tickets:

[Bartholomert]

'Musalla Tasi': Classic song by Carsi sang in their old unrenovated stadium, they're still good now but with all the renovations there is something lost when the main fan group is no longer in the middle of the stands

[Bartholomert]

'Mehter Marsi': My favorite Fenerbahce song, its a rendition of an old generic Turkish soccer song set to the tune of a famous Ottoman March song that would play before battle, it takes a few rounds for them to get warmed up but then it's pretty solid:

[Lewis]

I bet at least half of that crowd are repressed homosexuals.

[Bartholomert]

It is a bit odd, in other countries the people jump up and down by themselves, in Turkey the people next to you and behind you will literally grab you by the waist / shoulder so that everyone is 'connected' in the entire stand.

[Disco]

It was a hammer wasn't it? Then he got all weepy because the guy was really nice.

[Samadini]

I blame Tony Blair.

Blaydon Races is just a blur now. Not really sure what the rush is, like you've said. They're not going anywhere.

[Shindig]

I wish they'd do something other than the chorus. Educate the masses in fictional 19th century bus crashes.

[Offshore Toon]

Blaydon Races is great but quite a few clubs sung it, don't they?

Geordie boot boys one is also good.

Do you still support Fenerbahce or do you pretend to like American sports now?

[Bartholomert]

Do you still support Fenerbahce or do you pretend to like American sports now?

I'll watch the important games, but they're pretty shit this year and I just don't have the same level of interest. I follow DC teams and Duke mostly.

[Spikey M]

Go Sports

Do you sing the national anthem?

[ScousePig]

We just join in so it's okay.

'we're fucking shiiit'
