Thanks a million! A pint for you all! I like the baudiness, but never realized those songs could carry 45+ years of hostility. ---

Or Man U scum to my Leeds boys about 14 years ago: He’s Quick He’s Flash, He’s shagging Leslie Ash Cantonaaaaaaaa Cantonaaaaaaaa In reference to the rumour Cantona was indeed screwing ex leeds player Lee Chapmans wife, actress leslie Ash. ---

To Man City at the Lane: “Harold Shipman Killed your Nan” I think the worst - ie most offensive ones are the Anti-spurs chelsea ones (you know the ones). “There’s only two Andy Gorams” was a moment of genius. ---

Oh yeah, this one was really really painful to hear, but now it’s out of date it’s possible to find it funny: > [@](#): > > Since City last beat United, my true love sent to me: > European Champions, > Eleven years of glory, > Ten years in Europe, > Nine goals past Ipswich, > Eight-one at Forest, > Seven past the Cocknies, > Six title trophies, > Five-nil scores! > Four FA Cups, > Treble in '99, > Two Double wins, > And a star called Eric Cantona ---

Really wallowing in the misery of other teams’ chants now, but I can’t help admire this one: > [@](#): > > When I was just a little boy, > I asked my mother what would I be, > Would I be City, would I be Town? > Guess what she said to me: > > Wash your mouth out son, > And go get your father’s gun, > We’ll go shoot some Ipswich scum, > Shoot some Ipswich scum. Bastards. Oh, and I can’t for the life of me remember where it was that Fulham played, and Al Fayed got greeted with a load of Asian fans chanting “we’ve got passports”. 😃 ---

> [@garius](#): > > The video for which was filmed on my street 😃 Cool. One of the streets I live on in Manchester was once used for a morning-after-a-riot scene, and they didn’t actually have to do anything to make it look like that. All together: _Me and me mum and me dad and me gran We’re off to Waterloo Me and me mum and me dad and me gran And a bucket of vindaloo_ ---

> [@GorillaMan](#): > > Or on re-reading ( 😉 ) it might be _Vindaloo_. Either way, the shout at the end is “Eng-land”. (or another name if the situation demands…) :smack: Dear Og! I was listening to this song as I read the post, and still wondered “I wonder what Na Na Naa comes from? Doesn’t sound familiar…” Then I begin chanting with music “We’re England Weeee’re going to scooooore oooone moooore thaaaaan yoooooouuuu… EN-GLAND!” But then Chumbawamba’s “Top of the World” came on and I forgot about it. Yes, yes, this thread made me feel rather nostalgic, so I queued up all my team songs or football related songs… Yes, I also dug out my official Chelsea jersey, as well! ---

Oh dear. I’m reminded of how old I am. When we did the double\*, our song was: ‘John Brown’s body lies a-mouldering in his grave, John Brown’s body lies a-mouldering in his grave, John Brown’s body lies a-mouldering in his grave, But the Spurs go marching on!’ \*Tottenham Hotspur, 1960/61 ---

Let’s not forget “Oooh, Aaah, Cantona, I said Ooh Aah Cantona”… (My surname happens to rhyme with Cantona, and on the (very rare) occasions that I scored for my school I’d be serenaded with the above, except with my name substituted. 😃 ) ---

Never mind that - how do you think they would cope with the “yid” thing? I think they’d explode.
