But why? The whole point of singing is that it's a way of showing your support, surely? Do you think the players get a boost from hearing about Sol Campbell or kicking in Arsenal fans' heads?

The chants are about One-upmanship against opposition rivals. Obviously to get the team going aswell.

I'm sure a player would rather hear our fans for 90 minutes regardless of the songs. You don't want to give the opposing fans any opportunity to be the ones being heard.

Well yeah, and I understand that there's going to be comradery between both sets of fans but the Arsenal fan one, the Sol Campbell one and the newest song just don't offer anything to be honest. I'd prefer silence to either of those three to be honest

I really wish there was a stirring Pochettino chant/song when we are winning, rather than some of the negative nonsense mentioned previously. His name is just ideal, for example, for the AR GEN TINA = POCH E TTINO or something to the tune of 'don't cry for me Argentina or just the usual Pochettino's Blue 'n white army. On a slightly different tack, I really hope we don't have a repeat of the embarrassing booing after the Newcastle defeat( our first since the opening day of the season) when it inevitably comes, probably after an exhausting run of games at home to a team who put 11 men behind the ball. These boys are giving everything they can and doing brilliantly. We have to accept the odd slip up along the way like everyone else is and will be having.

Just replace the Jermain Defoe chant with Pochettino's name.

So we shouldn't sing the arsenal fan on a string which along with everywhere we go has been the most rousing and well participated song for years

Don't sing this, don't sing about Campbell, don't sing about Arsenal; what the fuck can we sing? I'd rather our fans made noise for 90 mins singing whatever than a few pro-Spurs songs for 15 mins in a match.

I agree with this. We do need more songs though.

Here's the songs we currently have, excluding the Sol Campbell song:

Spurs Specific
Come on you Spurs
Oh when the Spurs go marching in
Glory Glory Tottenham Hotspur
We’re the Park Lane/Shelf Side… (If you listen closely you might hear Paxton)
Yid Army
It’s a grand old team
Everywhere we go…
We are Tottenham, super Tottenham
North London is ours
We are the Tottenham, we are the best…
Arsenal fan on a string
North London is blue and white

Player/Manager Specific
Pochetino’s blue and white army
Always take Lamela with you
He’s one of our own…
Er-rik-sen, sen, sen…
Oooooh Mousa Dembele
I love Eric Dier
We’ve got the best keeper, in the world
Danny, Danny Rose
Jan, Jan, Super Jan
Delle Alli, Delle Alli
Oh Ledley, Ledley, He’s only got one knee
Onomah! Do do, do do do

And for those wonderful cup runs
Spurs are on their way to Wembley

Opposition specific songs
Your sister's your mum (Norwich)
You'll never get a job (Liverpool)
Chim chimney (West Ham)
We pay your benefits (anyone up north)


If these don't fill more than 15 minutes, then I don't think the Sol Campbell song is going to make that much of a difference.

If you want more songs, how about resurrecting the classic Nice One Cyril, but change it to:

Nice one Heung Min,
Nice one Son,
Nice one Heung Min,
Let's have another one!

Kick his head in is the best. Love it.

Anything derogatory about Sol Campbell is ok in my book as well. People need to lighten up.

The La la la you're shit song is lame though, but is ok if we're 5-0 up

Plus two of my favourites which rarely get sung:

Glory, glory hallejuah

And:

Oh the whistle blows the cockerel crows and now we're in the game,
It's to you, you lilywhites, to play the Tottenham way,
Oh there's many teams from many towns and some are great and small,
But the famous Tottenham Hotspur is the greatest of them all!

And you missed Nicola Berti :p

That's a great one,

My Eyes have seen the glory of the cups at White Hart Lane,
My Eyes have seen the glory of the cups at White Hart Lane,
My Eyes have seen the glory of the cups at White Hart Lane and the Spurs go marching ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon.

Glory Glory Tottenham Hotspur etc.


Would much prefer we sung that one more.

Honestly, you need to lighten up and stop taking chants so seriously. I bet you're great fun to go to games with and have a beer after... :eek:

actually, I started hearing the la la la la at min 42 or so, when we were only 2-0 up! Was quite shocked at the arrogance of our fans tbh but it also made me laugh..

sorry but have to agree with some of the fans on here, this chant has got to be one of the worst and we are better than this !!

it always feels so arsenal like, sing it when we are winning - went 1-0 up against Villa and the first chant was this, similar against west brom - it is literally embarrassing.

Those saying its light hearted probably don't sit in the ground. I know for one I don't join in on this one

Support the team and give away fans some stick - 100% but this chant needs to stop as its making us look like that lot down the road
