Football chants

[LSUY]

A post in a different thread got me thinking about football chants and just how brilliant they can be at times.

So what's your favourite?

Here's some good ones.

Rangers fans to John Hartson

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
John Hartson ate them all.


I've seen this one posted on numerous forums but I don't know if Pompey fans actually sung it. If they did then hats off to them. When Gordon Strachan took over as Southampton boss (to the tune of Gloria Gaynor’s ‘I will Survive’):

At first I was afraid, I was petrified.
Thought I’d never get another job with a Premier side.
And I spent so many nights, thinking I’d done nothing wrong,
but I grew strong, and a new job came along.

And so I’m back, managing the Saints,
They think I’m gonna save them, but it’s obvious I ain’t,
They should have called on Howard Wilko, Harry R or Georgie G.
If they want a decent gaffer, it sure as hell ain’t me.

But I’ll survive, I will survive.
As long as I’ve mates on telly, I know I’ll stay alive.
The new Saints’ boss job is mine, and I’ve crap players yet to sign,
I will survive, I will survive.

Go on now go, walk out the door,
They’ll be singing at St Mary’s when we’re in division four,
But it’ll be nothing to do with me,
My team weren’t strong enough mentally.
But now I’ve got a big fat pay-off, and my country’s calling me.


Spurs fans to Chelsea (to the tune of Lord of the Dance)

Carefree wherever you may be
We are the nouveau Chelsea FC
So please sit down, so that my wife can see.
I’ve been coming here since 2003.

I always thought the cheer up Kevin Keegan one the Utd fans used to sing was class. :grin:

The one the mickies sing about Torres always looks and sounds impressive.

That is a good one. Utd's away fans are brilliant, its a shame that they can't get the same chants going at OT.

"You've got Curly Watts as a celebrity fan...cause City are a massive club!"


I love it when opposition fans respond to chants. I remember a couple of seasons back during a home game against Fulham sections of Park Lane started to sing 'Stand up if you hate Arsenal' so all the Fulham fans stood up. Then after a couple of minutes they started to sing 'Stand up if you hate Chelsea' so we stood up.

I remember when Leeds (yes Leeds!!!) were the visitors and we was having an off day. They started singng
"You`re not very good,
you`re not very good
youre not very, youre not very, youre not very good"
to the tune of knees up mother brown.

Newcastle Fans to Sunderland:

"Going down, going down, going down."

Sunderland Fans:

"So are we, so are we, so are we."

There's a great song the Spurs fans sing to Sol Campbell. :rofl:

My husband tells me some great ones sung at Everton, particularly the Merseyside derby. He's not in for me to check with at the moment but here's one from when Gerrard was meant to be signing for Chelsea.
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]You Put Your Transfer In, Your Transfer Out,
In, Out, In, Out, You Fuck Your Club About,
You Do The Steven Gerrard And you change your mind,
Thats What It's All About ![/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]OHHHH Gerrards a wanker
OHHHH Gerrards a wanker
OHHHH Gerrards a wanker
in out in out fuck your club about" [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]( Sung To The Tune Of The ( 'Okie Cokie' )[/FONT]

 

[General Levy]

I remember when Leeds (yes Leeds!!!) were the visitors and we was having an off day. They started singng
"You`re not very good,
you`re not very good
youre not very, youre not very, youre not very good"
to the tune of knees up mother brown.

hull were singing that to us earlier this season

Yeah, it's a classic.

We've sung it on a number of occasions.

 

[spurs mental]

I remember a few seasons back Chelsea were playing someone, think it might have been United actually, and United were down to 10 men, and Chelsea started singing "You've only got ten players!
You've only got ten players!"

and United's response was
"You've only got ten fans!"

Classic

 

[Bonjour]

To the tune of 'always look on the bright side of life', aimed at Leeds fans following certain incidents in Turkey..

"Always look out for Turks carrying knives.
De dun, de dun de dun de dun.
Always look out for Turks carrying knives.
De dun, de dun de dun de dun.

Continue ad infinitum..."

2 of my favourites are the one sang to Andy Goram after he was diagnosed with schizophrenia '2 Andy Gorams, there's only 2 Andy Gorams' - and the other, that maybe just pips it, is the one Boro fans sing 'Wooooooh, we're halfway there.... Wooooooh Aliadiere'.

 

[Bonjour]

At a rather boring away game with Wimbledon on the terraces of Selhurst Park, around 1994, some smart arse noticed that both of the linesmen were rather portly and struggling somewhat to get up and down the lines and started a corus of "There's only two fat linesman". Within moments the whole ground was joining in, both Wimbledon and Spurs fans.

Very funny indeed. Loved the terraces.

Everton fans to Gerrard.

Whos that coming over you bird ,is it a gangster!

That brought a smile to my face.

"You`re not very good,
you`re not very good
youre not very, youre not very, youre not very good"

To be fair i think most away fans have had the chance to sing that to us over the years!!!


I think the Torres song is probably the best song i have heard. Other songs are good but you only get a few supperters singing them.
The Torres tune though with the Kop bouncing is pretty good!

 

[yiddotilidie]

Also the Rafa Benitiez tune to La Bamba

La la la la Benitez,
La la la la Benitez
and Xabi Alonso, Garcia and Nunes.

Thanks for that. Would never have sussed it! :wink:

:roll: Rip off of United fans' song for O'Shea.

Some of Cambridge's chants are quality...

(just after Fleming was banned for getting in a fight)

Ooooooo...
Terry Fleming's magic, he's got a golden tooth
He went out on the piss, now he's changing with the youth
O, Terry Fleming's magic, better than me or you,
Fleming got suspended, for things he didn't do!

Or on at a shitty away match a few months ago... people started chanting "RYAN, GIVE US A SONG", cue everyone being quiet, and he yells...

WHEN I SAY CAM, ALL THE LADIES SAY BRIDGE!
CAM...

*silence*

then, with perfect timing, a man with a really gruff voice goes "...bridge"

possibly the best chant ever!


Or...

"Jon Challinor, Jon Challinor, plays for the U's..."

to the tune of "shim-shimminy"

 

[dontcallme]

I remember Southampton were battering Man Utd and singing

"Can we play you every week?"
