when i heard it being sung i was a bit embarassed bcos i thought to myself,will they actually know what we were singing?
as well,i associate it with Arsenal singing it to us when we threw away a 2-0 lead in the carling cup so i would prefer to sing it at them, or any of the top 4.well any premier league club really bcos at least they will def understand it



They knew EXACTLY what was being sung. Read my post above - they sang it about themselves after the match. If you bump into a norwegian you'll find that their spoken English is typically excellent, which is why there was so much to-ing and fro-ing between their fans and ours. It was good-natured banter on both sides.

One other point - I went to most of the home UEFA Cup games last season and was also at the match last week, and the atmosphere at all these games was great, with the away supporters getting a huge round applause from the spurs fans after each game. We recognise the cost that their fans have incurred to follow their team to WHL and the away fans in the UEFA Cup usually really get behind their team, and immediately after every game I attended (wasn't at the Getafe game so cannot comment on that) they have been applauded by the spurs fans. That is the sign of home supporters that are welcoming to away fans, not home supporters that are a bunch of w***ers.

Whilst I understand that hearing a chant on the tv might not sound great, I'd suggest that one chant isn't taken in isolation leading to the listener assuming it is spurs fans being out of order. There's usually far more to it than one chant......

I was at the game, and it was definitely banter. They gave us A LOT of stick in the first half, all of which was deserved. Likewise, when they threw away a 0-2 lead, do you really expect any of them were surprised that the opposition fans (i.e. us) let them know about it? Ridiculous that anybody should take offence to that, let alone a home fan...

What he said.

I was at the game.

This thread is a bit silly really.

If anything I thought the chanting was in really good spritis - sung with a lot of good humour - seriously. I was sitting near the away fans and that is very much the impression I got.

Just try to get to the bottom of the first page PYiddy. then you wont have to tell me to get over myself etc.

And non banter chants are like the sol campbell ones. Its pretty much what it says in the name

so you are lumping in "2-0 and you fucked it up" into the same bracket as a chant which says you should get aids and kill yourself?

No you fucking prat.

Seriously, grow a brain. :bang:

On TV, it sounded like our fans were being twats. People who were also watching on tv have backed me up on this.

However, people at the game have said it was just banter, and their fans were giving it out too. Fair enough, I have admitted I was wrong. If you watched it on TV, you would probably have agreed with me at the start.

ANd hybridsoldier youre a fucking moron try reading a whole thread before you just slag people off its not like its 5 pages

yeah, I know that the majority of them would have excellent spoken english but even I have trouble at times, when I'm at the lane, understanding all of the words to chants that I haven't heard before. granted that particular chant is relatively easy to understand. And I'm sure that the Danes have a similar level of english to the Norwegians

like i said tho, I associate the chant with Arsenal having sung it to us at the Carling cup tie at the lane, which is why it would have more negative connotations than just friendly banter.

Also,the fact that they started to sing the song about themselves doesn't necessarily mean that they take it as friendly banter, but much the same way as spurs started to sing Yid army about ourselves as a means of stopping opposition fans singing it about us, i'm sure they sang it to try and stop spurs fans singing it at them.
I know that one was a strongly anti-semitic chant while the other is merely about the performance on one night, but i can imagine on a night out, while they're trying to drown the sorrows of having thrown away a 2 goal lead, away from home in Europe, the last thing they would've wanted is to hear that chant.

also,when the scum sang it at us at the lane,i doubt it was anything to do with friendly banter.

but i do take the point that it is a silly discussion.its a chant.i apologise for letting myself get drawn into it.

bring back Martin Jol-so that we can discuss more interesting topics

Meh maybe I was harsh. I was reading it and getting slightly fed up that half the responses were just over reactive abuse at me for saying something that others are saying was actually a fair point.

And jimtheyid about me 'backtracking' I am at least not so up myself that Im going to stubbornly stick to my view even when others have made me think twice about it. The point of the forum is discussion, whats the point of discussion if you cant change your mind


I am not a stubborn person. If I am able to have an intelligent discussion with somebody they may be able to enlighten me to their thinking.

What you are saying is that if you have a view, you are going to change it the moment somebody questions that view and makes you think about it. That is wrong.

And Supersonic Labelling me a twat as your first response does not bode well that you can have the aforementioned intelligent discussion with someone.
