Do you know what? You’re right - I really hate a lot of what was chanted, and I’m sure there are cleverer ones out there - but you’ve entirely changed my mind about this whole thing, our mouthiness is part of who and what we are!
Think a good chant is when Andy Goram (ex- Scottish goalkeeeper) got diagnosed with schizophrenia and instead of singing 'There's only one Andy Goram!' They sang after that.. 'Theres only two Andy Goram's!'
@@shish7755 Geordies are brilliant. They came out with one of the funniest ones I've ever heard at a Manchester City v Newcastle match back in 2006. Sven was the City boss and Sam Allardyce was managing Newcastle at the time. We started chanting "Sven Goran Erikkson", they came back with "Fat Bastard Allardyce"
Jimmy Saville was a British television presenter for the national broadcaster, the BBC. He presented a show called Jim'll Fix It where he 'fixed it' for kids who wrote in to do something they always wanted to do like meet their sports heroes or whatever. After his death many, many people came out and said that he used his position to abuse them. He went to hospitals and was grossly inappropriate with vulnerable people there. He was generally just a despicable person. There are documentaries about it and it was horrible. The BBC knew about it and helped cover it up at the time. It was a national scandal. So he rightly gets a lot of stick for being a nonce, and is used as a comparison for other abusers and paedophiles.
@FloydTheBreathless well if you wanna get technically I’m mixed race born to an English, Irish, Scottish mum and an Italian, French, Malagasy dad. So you’re right but you’re really very wrong. Considering to be British your born in Britain which I am and have lived here for the 24 years I’ve been on this planet 😂
Or drinking or pretty much anything that gets us hyped I really don’t know where the stereotype of us being polite or well mannered came from we’re sarcastic and nuts but I love it
That stereotype is only held by anyone who has never met an Englishman on real life.... WWI did a lot to break the class divide in English society as officers and infantry fought together and were deemed expendable by the senior military leaders..... The key difference prior to this was the aspirations of middle and upper lower classes. Those who were not the working classes aspired to present themselves as upper class. The "Grammar" school system where rich children paid and the most gifted working class children got scholarships is the perfect example. They were called grammar schools because they taught pupils to speak recieved pronunciation (the queens English with the stiff upper lip) because good jobs simply didn't hire people who spoke like commoners.. after the war the number of men who had grown up with those aspirations and prejudices was severely reduced (dead in the war) and those baby boomers that replaced them did not face the same prejudice and social immobility as previous generations because England needed the workers. As a result the middle classes (which exploded in the post war baby boom years) were no longer aspiring to be like the aristocracy and in fact many adopted the opposite tact - attempting to appear more common than they in fact were because the majority of their employees and customers were of the lower classes. This is because the power of the aristocracy (posh English gentleman) was always within the land they owned, however, with the globalisation of the economy after the war England's land was of far lesser value politically. England began to import significant proportions of it's food from foreign countries with lower labour costs - reducing the amount of land needed for agriculture. England's ability to compete globally in terms of industrial manufacturing declined as these industries could be operated in poorer countries with lower labour costs and abundant resources... So all in all the vast majority of English society since WW1 has been actively distancing themselves from the appearance, speech and behaviours of the stereotypical English gentlemen - just look at the majority of our politicians. 90% are privately educated and not a single one sends their children to state school and yet, even the conservative party members (traditionally representing the rich posh classes) try to present themselves as "one of the people" and avoid using recieved pronunciation. The exemption being Jacob Rees mogg who speaks like an aristocrat and does have a family estate, however, even he, when interviewed, claimed to be upper middle class..... England as a society has had distain for the stereotype for almost a century now. However the collective memory of the world regards English people is of the empire and Churchill etc and most of the footage in English people will see is of that generation of English gentlemen - reinforcing the common view. Ask anyone who has met and Englishmen or been to England - wereel all like the football thugs all the time
Our teams all come from towns cities even villages so you grow up supporting them , they aren’t franchise teams , so they are part of the community , or they used to be . So it used to be that you supported you home town , and you stuck with them win or loose .
I think there's a version of this where the guy explains the references, which might help you guys. Also no this isn't just one group of people, this is all British football fans, the chants are to well known (and often repeatedly used) songs so everyone already knows the tunes. Then someone at the game will start a new version (or may also begin in the pub beforehand) and there's usually a simple repeated rhyme that everyone can quite quickly pick up and sing to the already known tune. Don't forget most of these guys (and girls) have been going to watch the football with their dads since they were kids. ETA: the players hear this stuff every week, that's why they normally aren't phased

Best chant i heard was in Newcastle's ground when the tannoy announcer put out a call for a guy to meet his wife ( who had got lost in the ground) at the back of the stand.

No prisoners taken. There was a Scottish goalkeeper who got diagnosed with schizophrenia and his own fans sang “there’s only two Andy Gorams” when he returned to the team
11:01 That's one of those clubs that go up and down in the league system. Relegated one year, promoted next year, relegated again and so on. These have been relegated from Championship to League 1 so they sing that they go on a a league 1 tour and will probably be back in Championship again.
A lot of these clips are from lower league games. They make up chants as they go along but there are standard chants that are just as cutting! You probably won’t hear these at most Premier league games. Bit of a change from a BTS reaction, eh? 🤣
@@davidcook7887 Most of the nursery rhymes were a way of telling a story about events before many people could read and write, and it was a hangover from much earlier times when writing hadn't been invented and the only way to keep your history known was to talk about it. For example London Bridge is falling down dates from the 14th century when the tolls from crossing the bridge were given to the Queen of the time by the King (hence she's "My fair lady"), but she spent all the money on herself and the bridge lacked maintenance which caused parts of it to collapse. The tolls were subsequently taken away from her and given to the Bridge House Trust, which still exists today as an investment vehicle for the City of London. Ring-a-ring-a-rosies was supposedly about the Plague (Black Death) or some other disease but this is disputed.
@@robinarmitage1376 From what I've looked into it was a large bombardment cannon used to defend a Royalst stronghold in the English civil wars until the wall it sat on was demolished by Roundhead cannon (hence "had a great fall") and then the Royalists (King's horse (cavalry) and King's men) couldn't get it out of the rubble to re-use it as it was too heavy.
Remember that loads of fans travel to and from the matches together, home games and of course the bevvies (booze) before the game before every game Home or Away. 👍🇬🇧
Football is woven into British cultire and its very tribalistic. Your Football team almost becomes part of your identity. For the most part, people will follow football teams from their own city or follow on from who their Dad supports. There's a saying that you can chamge your wife but you cant change your football team. Chants whilst aggressive on the surface are all part of fan culture and it's expected on both sides, it's rare in the modern era that it spills out into the physical. Lots of chants to happen off the cuff and they're notoriously funny, especially if it ends up with back and forth between the home and away fans. This dynamic happens a lot because of large away fan attendances because of the close geographical proximity of football teams in England. Generally you're no more than 50-150 miles away from your furthest opponents with a lot being within 50 miles. Obviously in the US the distances are so vast for that away support isn't really a thing.
Aye, we have folk going to prison for 18 months and 3 years for a Facebook posts and chants at a protest, maybe wind the neck in talking about another places freedoms.

That should have been it over with, someone realised their error and fixed it, they should not be punished to the extreme especially for words.
@@markmaher4548 How about Nick Lowels from hope not hate he falsely reported a Muslim lady was attacked by a man driving up to her and throwing acid on her to incite action, and groups actually came out attacking people. Do you think he should be jailed also for incitement?
And when it comes to cricket we have the fabulous Barmy Army. A great bunch of English supporters who follow their team to Australia and have a song for every occasion. They add great atmosphere to every game. Wouldn't be the same without them.
I live in Fife, which if you look at a map of Scotland is to the north of Edinburgh shaped a bit like a dogs head. We have 3.main football teams (although that's pushing the term main to its limits). Now while I played rugby, I'm aware if some of the chants about the rival teams. There is a fairly rundown town (sadly, as a lot of the people and some of the areas in it are nice) called Cowdenbeath. It's near a town called Lochgelly. The chant is to the tune of the Addams Family TV show and goes .. They're dirty and they're smelly They haven't got a telly (TV) They come from near Lochgelly The Cowden family. The other classic is to Always Look on the Bright Side of Life from Monty Python.. . You all live on the shite side of Fife Da dum, da dum da dum da dum 😂 😂😂
I’m from Dublin and support St Patrick’s Athletic, from the south side o& the city. When we play Bohemians from the north side of the city the Pats fans sing “ always look on the northside for shite” to the Monty Python song.
Football chants started from when football first started people would sing hymns. Thats why the tune sounds familiar, we sing these songs often to the tune of a hymn or a nursery ryhme haha so you wete correct this is the evolution of the nutsury ryhme lol
Jimmy Saville, TV personality, was a notorious sex offender. Adam Johnson, former player, is a convicted sex offender. There are better compilations imo.
We know how to chant and join in because of singing in school and because chants are always done to famous songs. You know the tune so you just quickly fit the words in. The chants about people being pedos and Jimmy etc are not just messing around. The people they use allegations against have actually done very bad things. The rest of the time we are pissing about. Yes some of this is heard on TV haha (Sky is a huge company from the US isn't it? They charge us too much for everything.)
No it wasnt. That was my fans, the Birmingham city fans having a pop at the Blythe Spartan goalkeeper. I know coz I watched our highlights after the game. We managed to just scrape a win at 2 - 3 . But we was down 2 - 0 at half time. At the end, he turned and clapped us all. We clapped him back for being a good sport and shouted "we're only taking the piss"
Bill Shankly Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.
Football chants over here are like a sort of unedited social commentry. Rhe MSM may put it more ' delicately ' but there's nothing so savage as a football crowd. They say it as it is. God forbid you stand up to go to the loo and have an unfortunate haircut 🤣🤣
I’ve now discovered, as a Brit who lives in America, you really have to know our British culture to understand any of this, we may speak the same language but the US and UK are so different and so separated, Americans have no clue 😭🤣

You basically got it right - one or two friends start a chant and everyone else either joins in or doesn't. And most of the chants are to the same tune or rythem.
Me and my mate Susan would go to all the home games of Liverpool. We'd find hot dogs and pie crust in our hoods and spit and gravy in our hair. The men would look out for us. We felt safe.
As said before, football is who you are, your born into the team you support, good or bad, its said that football is a matter of life and death, its more than that But we support out teams, through good and bad times, ups and downs, Not just for the men, there are plenty women just as passionate as the men, But one thing for a female at football, whether with her friend or solo she is the safest person in the stadium, , she can enjoy the football and the chants, as well as 20.000 securty guards around her. Known as football fans females are protected at all cost,

The British football chant is always so funny really ...always coming up with something 😂...
The reason why most of the fans instantly know the chants and the pauses for the claps etc is because they are normally taken from well known songs for instance the "we've got Boris Johnson" chant is do the tune of "glad all over" by I think it was the Dave Clark 5.
@@rwolves Yes, The Dave Clark 5 also had hits with "Bits'n'Pieces" & "Can't You See That She's Mine", "Catch Us If You Can", "Everybody Knows", "The Red Balloon", "Good Old Rock 'n' Roll", but "Glad All Over" was their first.

Watching you guys realise the truth of English football chants in real-time was great, not gonna lie 😂 hope you do a part 2, there's plenty of comps on TH-cam!
No prisoners taken. There was a Scottish goalkeeper who got diagnosed with schizophrenia and his own fans sang “there’s only two Andy Gorams” when he returned to the team
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a british person
This is completely legal aswell to the point its funny
YOU ARE NOT FKN BRITISH YOU ARE FKN ENGLISH BRITAIN IS NOT A COUNTRY
Sadly, the authorities are on a mission to put a stop to this kind of chanting.
The British are good at doubling down 😂
11:01
That's one of those clubs that go up and down in the league system.
Relegated one year, promoted next year, relegated again and so on.
These have been relegated from Championship to League 1 so they sing that they go on a a league 1 tour and will probably be back in Championship again.
Whilst most Yanks grow up thinking they're Optimus Prime or Chewbacca. We, on this side of the pond grew up making our own entertainment.
This was so funny. The english take no prisoners😂😂😂
Ever since the Normans turned up we have been allowed to be ruthless, hehe.
@@darthwiizius bahahahah I love this even more as my middle name is NORMAN 😂😂😅😅
A lot of these clips are from lower league games. They make up chants as they go along but there are standard chants that are just as cutting! You probably won’t hear these at most Premier league games. Bit of a change from a BTS reaction, eh? 🤣
English took us Indians prisoners frequently a lot of times for no good reason.
I laughed so hard I was crying for an hour😂😂😂😂 That was so funny.
And all this without a single cheerleader, organist or marching band in sight!
Gonna blow your minds...The nursery rhymes such as "humpty dumpty, jack and jill, old macdonald and twinkle twinkle are all British"
Did you know Humpty Dumpty is about the Parliamentarians v Royalists?
@@davidcook7887 Most of the nursery rhymes were a way of telling a story about events before many people could read and write, and it was a hangover from much earlier times when writing hadn't been invented and the only way to keep your history known was to talk about it.
For example London Bridge is falling down dates from the 14th century when the tolls from crossing the bridge were given to the Queen of the time by the King (hence she's "My fair lady"), but she spent all the money on herself and the bridge lacked maintenance which caused parts of it to collapse. The tolls were subsequently taken away from her and given to the Bridge House Trust, which still exists today as an investment vehicle for the City of London.
Ring-a-ring-a-rosies was supposedly about the Plague (Black Death) or some other disease but this is disputed.
Humpty Dumpty was a cannon, I think.
@lloydcollins6337 writing has been around for centuries mate. Even the hieroglyphics in Egypt is classed a writing
@@robinarmitage1376 From what I've looked into it was a large bombardment cannon used to defend a Royalst stronghold in the English civil wars until the wall it sat on was demolished by Roundhead cannon (hence "had a great fall") and then the Royalists (King's horse (cavalry) and King's men) couldn't get it out of the rubble to re-use it as it was too heavy.
Remember that loads of fans travel to and from the matches together, home games and of course the bevvies (booze) before the game before every game
Home or Away. 👍🇬🇧
Football is woven into British cultire and its very tribalistic.
Your Football team almost becomes part of your identity. For the most part, people will follow football teams from their own city or follow on from who their Dad supports.
There's a saying that you can chamge your wife but you cant change your football team.
Chants whilst aggressive on the surface are all part of fan culture and it's expected on both sides, it's rare in the modern era that it spills out into the physical.
Lots of chants to happen off the cuff and they're notoriously funny, especially if it ends up with back and forth between the home and away fans. This dynamic happens a lot because of large away fan attendances because of the close geographical proximity of football teams in England. Generally you're no more than 50-150 miles away from your furthest opponents with a lot being within 50 miles. Obviously in the US the distances are so vast for that away support isn't really a thing.
I dunno bought that, but, up the Arsenal. 😉
There is a story behind the Adam Johnson chants and if you look it up you will understand why they are chanting.
It just couldn't happen in the States - there'd be lawsuits flying everywhere!
And yet they think they have freedom of speech 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Aye, we have folk going to prison for 18 months and 3 years for a Facebook posts and chants at a protest, maybe wind the neck in talking about another places freedoms.
@@RighAlbanInciting someone to burn down a hotel & block the exits so no one can get out isn't free speech.
@@markmaher4548 A boy waving an England flag shouting who's streets our streets is one of the folk jailed coincidentally saying the same thing on the street as the counter protestors, but he got jailed hmm. Sure though you choose the thing said in a fit of red mist that actually was deleted it right away as your example, something a person wrote in anger after hearing what happened to the little girls, realised that it was a bit much then deleted it. That should have been it over with, someone realised their error and fixed it, they should not be punished to the extreme especially for words.
@@markmaher4548 How about Nick Lowels from hope not hate he falsely reported a Muslim lady was attacked by a man driving up to her and throwing acid on her to incite action, and groups actually came out attacking people.
Do you think he should be jailed also for incitement?
As a Newcastle fan, i was very proud of the first few chants!
And when it comes to cricket we have the fabulous Barmy Army. A great bunch of English supporters who follow their team to Australia and have a song for every occasion. They add great atmosphere to every game. Wouldn't be the same without them.
The first tune was "Cum On Feel the Noize" is a song by the English rock band Slade, which was released in 1973 as a non-album single.
Covered in the US by Quiet Riot.
Football or soccer as you Americans call it is extremely tribal , rivalry amongst supporters can be brutal, but also extremely funny.
The melody you recognised was Cum On Feel The Noize by British band Slade in the 70s.
Probably better known in the USA for the cover version by Quiet Riot.
I live in Fife, which if you look at a map of Scotland is to the north of Edinburgh shaped a bit like a dogs head. We have 3.main football teams (although that's pushing the term main to its limits). Now while I played rugby, I'm aware if some of the chants about the rival teams. There is a fairly rundown town (sadly, as a lot of the people and some of the areas in it are nice) called Cowdenbeath. It's near a town called Lochgelly. The chant is to the tune of the Addams Family TV show and goes ..
They're dirty and they're smelly
They haven't got a telly (TV)
They come from near Lochgelly
The Cowden family.
The other classic is to Always Look on the Bright Side of Life from Monty Python.. .
You all live on the shite side of Fife
Da dum, da dum da dum da dum 😂
😂😂
@@AndyRobertson-m5r 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
I’m from Dublin and support St Patrick’s Athletic, from the south side o& the city. When we play Bohemians from the north side of the city the Pats fans sing “ always look on the northside for shite” to the Monty Python song.
Small world :) I'm close to both those places
Football chants started from when football first started people would sing hymns. Thats why the tune sounds familiar, we sing these songs often to the tune of a hymn or a nursery ryhme haha so you wete correct this is the evolution of the nutsury ryhme lol
You poor innocent little Americans!
The cricket can be just as funny when the fielders get close to the stands 😂
There's nothing even remotely aggressive about any of these ffs, it's just good natured, light hearted banter.
Nah, that's not true.
@@Muzakman37yes it is 😂 you just don’t get it you Americans get so offended by everything it’s hilarious
Jimmy Saville, TV personality, was a notorious sex offender. Adam Johnson, former player, is a convicted sex offender. There are better compilations imo.
Came here to say this. Also the Boris one was because the security guard looked like Boris Johnson former prime minister of UK.
Who asked?
Not aggressive - just all good fun!
In the uk it’s just classed as a laugh … if you can’t take don’t be there , it just British humour
The humour is everything! The language and themes are pretty harsh but the wit and creativity make them fabulous!
There is nothing aggressive in those chants, it's just a fun :))
I am in my 8th decade i London and hoped you liked this gentle introduction to THe Beautiful Game:)
American athletes would need therapy after a english crowd.
😂😂😂
This just makes me even more proud to be English 🏴 ❤😂😊🎉❤
Most chants are sung to the tune of well known songs.
Ha-ha! Are we just fantastic or what?
Its bloody good banter!
Tbh not that aggressive, you want to hear how we can talk to our besties and work colleagues
i dont think the woke pc brigade will stop these chants because the fans would ignore them😂😂😂😂😂
We are the PC brigade. Just because we sing at football doesn’t mean we’re bellends outside the ground.
We know how to chant and join in because of singing in school and because chants are always done to famous songs. You know the tune so you just quickly fit the words in.
The chants about people being pedos and Jimmy etc are not just messing around. The people they use allegations against have actually done very bad things.
The rest of the time we are pissing about.
Yes some of this is heard on TV haha (Sky is a huge company from the US isn't it? They charge us too much for everything.)
The fans who are calling the Goalkeeper at 6:53 is their own Goalkeeper.
I did wonder, thought it quite likely 😂
Didn't know that and I have seen this video multiple times.
No fucking ways😂😂😂😂😂😂 why would they do that
No it wasnt. That was my fans, the Birmingham city fans having a pop at the Blythe Spartan goalkeeper. I know coz I watched our highlights after the game. We managed to just scrape a win at 2 - 3 . But we was down 2 - 0 at half time.
At the end, he turned and clapped us all. We clapped him back for being a good sport and shouted "we're only taking the piss"
I wouldn’t have thought so. At my local the teens stand behind the opposing goalie and chant the same thing
makes me crease when sky tv catches some strays 🤣🤣🤣 no one is safe to the chants
Bill Shankly
Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.
Never a truer word said. He came from the same Scottish mining area as my dad. A Legend
He made the people happy!
Boris chant is referring to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
Mezit ozil his eyes are offside was another one.
UK football fans are a bit.......erm.......different. You can see why we are not allowed guns.
Football chants over here are like a sort of unedited social commentry. Rhe MSM may put it more ' delicately ' but there's nothing so savage as a football crowd. They say it as it is. God forbid you stand up to go to the loo and have an unfortunate haircut 🤣🤣
The SkyTV chants are right. LET THE UK WATCH FOOTBALL!
The tune for Adam Johnston was originally a song called Cum On Feel The Noize by British band Slade
I’ve now discovered, as a Brit who lives in America, you really have to know our British culture to understand any of this, we may speak the same language but the US and UK are so different and so separated, Americans have no clue 😭🤣
As you can tell, there is no malice in the chants, it's all goofy banter 😁
A normal match any weekend …. This is why the new American owners want the premiership clubs to play matches in America … although you’ll all need counselling, probably … Swansea is a Welsh side where lonely sheep farmers get fond of their flock, allegedly…. Kiddy family …. Rural Kidderminster team where there isn’t a lot to do …. There was a manager called Dick Advocaat ….. hence the trophy inflatable …
No aggression just having the crack
That's us enjoying ourselves 😂
You’re nothing special,we loose every week it’s one of the funniest reply I’ve ever heard in a stadium lmao 😂😂😂
Budgie - a tiny Australian parakeet that's very popular as a pet in the UK.
From which Australians get that a Man's swimsuit might be used for smuggling Budgies : *Budgie Smugglers*
@@EarlJohn61 I know. It's quite spoilt budgies and men in tight swimwear for me! (SO tempted to say "Who's a pretty boy then?" when seeing the latter!)
Phew, they only explored the polite chants.
Ohhhh there’s more???? We need to see them’
@@JohnReavesLive
The bad ones are banned but you can find the "Park" one and the "Adebayor" one, hehe.
@@JohnReavesLivethere's way more
@@darthwiizius Park one: Park, Park wherever you may be, you eat dog in your home country, could be worse, could be scouse, eating rats in your council house
Adebayor: Adebayor, Adebayor, his dad washes elephants and his mom's a whore
@@JohnReavesLivetheres way way more…
I grew up in pubs and honestly match days were fucking hilarious
You basically got it right - one or two friends start a chant and everyone else either joins in or doesn't. And most of the chants are to the same tune or rythem.
Me and my mate Susan would go to all the home games of Liverpool. We'd find hot dogs and pie crust in our hoods and spit and gravy in our hair. The men would look out for us. We felt safe.
the chants work like magic, when you're in the crowd you just know the words and there's no explanation for it!
As said before, football is who you are, your born into the team you support, good or bad, its said that football is a matter of life and death, its more than that
But we support out teams, through good and bad times, ups and downs,
Not just for the men, there are plenty women just as passionate as the men, But one thing for a female at football, whether with her friend or solo
she is the safest person in the stadium, , she can enjoy the football and the chants, as well as 20.000 securty guards around her. Known as football fans
females are protected at all cost,
Thanks for that. It was hilarious. Please do another one. You two are just as funny.
Have you seen the chants from the Ryder Cup ?
"There's only one Molinari"
Rory McElroy playing Stewart Cink - "He's got more hair than you"
Football chants are complete banter. Also, dont look up jimmy saville 🤦🏽♀️🤣
And don't friend him on Facebook!
@@scottaskew8408don't think they have Facebook in hell
Oh God, that was funny. Can’t beat the crack in a football crowd. 😂
Yes a small group, one comes up with it, they practice on the bus and infects the large crowd, using familiar tunes and chants.
Adam Johnson did go to prison
Yeah, lots of our chants are set to well known songs… always witty, top banter, core part of our culture, we love it
Some of the tunes are:
Guantanamera
Come on feel the noiz (Slade)
Guide me O Thou Great Jehovah
Yankee Doodle
Love your reactions guys 😂
And you DAAARE saying Soccer......well well well... :)
Don’t be a snowflake bab. 😁
NFL shouldn't be called "football".....it should be called "hand-egg"
Great British football fans chants react video - most of the chants in other countries are even worse than that😂
Oh by the way, it’s FOOTBALL not SOCCER.
Great video lads.
I like that you find the chants funny without always knowing the context. It just proves that it's just silly fun/banter.
litrally just british energy same thing happens in school with kids
We had a great chant in school it was funny that none of the teachers at first realized what we were singing
@@irenecaird6688 impromptu class sing along were ours, like stopped the lesson entirely and wouldn't shut up until we were done
I am so happy to see you enjoying the creativity of my countrymen, we take it as a point of pride to be as hurtful as possible. We are trained as children
He looks like Boris the mayor at the time!
They don’t need marching bands at half time. They make their own amusement 😂😂
You are still to evolve! patience lads.
My mate called me once from a large pub place before a cup semi final...
He's an Arsenal fan ,and was there with a large group of other fans...
Whiilst.there a nice chauffeur driven car pulled up ,and out got a celebrity couple ...Gavin Henson (rugby International etc).and his then misses Charlotte Church ( singer ) ...
Well ...I was listening to the entire Arsenal's fan crowd, singing ,Charlotte, takes it up the Arse -nal...,And Gavin get your haircut ,gavin get your haircut ...
😂😂.
The British football chant is always so funny really ...always coming up with something 😂...
The reason why most of the fans instantly know the chants and the pauses for the claps etc is because they are normally taken from well known songs for instance the "we've got Boris Johnson" chant is do the tune of "glad all over" by I think it was the Dave Clark 5.
Correct, I'm old enough to have heard it sung by the original artists on the telly & radio.
@Lazmanarus I don't quite remember it as only 37 but an all time classic. Was I right on the band though?
@@rwolves Yes, The Dave Clark 5 also had hits with "Bits'n'Pieces" & "Can't You See That She's Mine", "Catch Us If You Can", "Everybody Knows", "The Red Balloon", "Good Old Rock 'n' Roll", but "Glad All Over" was their first.
that adam johnson chant is one of my favourite things I've ever seen, I come back to admire it often!
