Whenever I see a UK football game on TV, the fans break out into song at times. I can rarely understand what they’re singing, so I’d like the UK football fans to sing your favorite team’s song in this thread. ---

I’ve often noticed the same–this is a pretty novel solution! Nothing to add otherwise, though, as I’m a through-and-through American. I could sing Bear Down Arizona, however 😉 ---

When you walk through a storm hold your head up high And don’t be afraid of the dark. At the end of a storm is a golden sky And the sweet silver song of a lark. Walk on through the wind, Walk on through the rain, Tho’ your dreams be tossed and blown. Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart And you’ll never walk alone, You’ll never, ever walk alone. Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart And you’ll never walk alone, You’ll never, ever walk alone. ---

Are these songs actually copyrighted? I always figured they were thrown together by fans. And BTW, can you tell us which team this song is for? And if copyright rules prevent others from posting their teams’ songs, can someone point us American soccer fans towards somewhere where we can find these songs? ---

Only the really crude simple ones are thrown together by fans. “You’re shit. And you know you are!” The one in my previous post is sung by Liverpool FC supporters (It’s ‘You’ll never walk alone’ if the content of that post gets deleted) They also sing ‘Ferry cross the Mersey’. ---

Another Man City one: My old man said be a Munich fan I said fuck off bollocks, you’re a cunt I’d rather fuck a bucket with a large hole in it than be a Munich fan for half a minute I fucked it, I fucked it I fucked and I fucked I fucked it till I could’nt fuck no more and I got more out of fucking that bucket than seeing united score (note: for Munich read Man.

But I’m not brave enough to post them… Not brave enough? Hearts Hearts Glorious Hearts It’s down by Tynecastle we bide The talk of the toon are the boys in maroon and old reekie supports with pride This is my story this is my song Follow the hearts and you can’t go wrong For some say that celtic and rangers are grand But the boys in maroon are the best in the land H E A…R TS if you cannae spell it then here’s what says ## (back to beginning) Sung to ‘My Way’ by Frank Sinatra ## And Now, The end is near We’ve followed Hearts from Perth to Paisley We’ve travelled far, by bus and car And other times we’ve went by railway. We’ve been to Aberdeen We hate the Hibs, they make us spew up. So make a noise you Gorgie boys We’re going to Europe. To See H - M - F - C We’ll even dig the channel tunnel When we’re afloat on some big boat We’ll tie our scarves around the funnel. We have no cares, for other players like Rossi, Boniec, or Tardelli When we’re overseas, the hibs will be in Portobelly. Sung to the tune “Guide me O thy great Jehovah” ## Heart of Midlothian, Fuck off Hibernian We’ll support you evermore We’ll support you evermore Or were you not brave enough for the one that starts. “It is old but it is beautiful…” 😉 ---

As you can see, **Knowed Out** and **fetus** , football games are for all the family, characterised by grace and traditional English sportsmanship. A bit of background on the [Munich Air Disaster](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich_Air_Disaster), which features in many of the compositions. ---

How about that classic Falkirk song: Hsssssssssssssssssssssssssssss He’s deid He’s gone He left the gas on Norrie McCathie Norrie McCathie (Norrie McCathie played for Dunfermline, one of Falkirk’s most hated rivals, and died when a faulty heating system filled his home with carbon monoxide gas) or the old standby sung to Airdrie fans: Air Da Rie Wank wank wank Air Da Rie Wank wank wank ---

A recent one from the mighty Crystal Palace. Should last us another couple of weeks . . . until we’re bottom of the league again. “Singing we’re not bottom anymore singing we’re not bottom anymore singing we’re not bottom we’re not bottom we’re not bottom anymore.” ---
