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Oh yeah, this one was really really painful to hear, but now it’s out of date it’s possible to find it funny:
Really wallowing in the misery of other teams’ chants now, but I can’t help admire this one:
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”.
Is there one that goes
Na Na Naaaaa (stomp stomp)
Na Na Naaaaa (stomp stomp)
Na Na Naaa Na Na Naaaa Naa Naa Naaaaaaa (stomp stomp)
ect ect.
Naaaaa Naaaaa Na Naaaaaa
Na Na NA
Go (something I don’t understand)
That might be the theme from The Great Escape, but it’s kind of hard to tell
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…)
Its Vindaloo.
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
: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!
wanders in confused
It took me a bit to figure out you guys were talking about soccer in the United Kingdom and not the incredibly crappy University of Kentucky football Wildcats.
I almost posted “On, On U of K” just for the hell of it anyway.
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
Go ahead - I’d love to see the American version of ‘offensive’
(yes, that’s a challenge )
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. )
Sung to the tune of “You are my sunshine”
You are my Solskjaer
My Ole Solskjaer
You make me happy
When skies are grey
And Alan Shearer
Was fucking dearer
So please don’t take
My Solskjaer, away
Do you get anything similar in the States? Would the police permit the kind of obscenity found in the UK?
Huh! Bloody second-hand chants! Of course, it was originally used in honour of the late, great (probably not dead yet…) Paul McGrath.
Never mind that - how do you think they would cope with the “yid” thing? I think they’d explode.
"I’m only a poor little Yiddo
I stand at the back of the shelf
I go to the bar, to buy a lager
And only buy one for myself"
