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.
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
5:02 Sky TV is part of the Murdoch just like Fox News. They scheduled match days on weekdays and early Sundays so many couldn't attend live and had to purchase the matches from.. you guessed it, Sky TV.

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? 🤣
just love how you guys enjoyed watching the football culture we have, it is madness at times but thats what makes it soo special, this beautiful game makes us together but also makes us divided come match day... long live football, the beautiful game, the chants and fans are what makes it memorable
Years ago Liverpool had players by the names of Dieter Hamman, Steve Finnan, Sylvan Distan and Djimi Traore. The latter scored an amazing own goal by backheeling it on the spin into his own net under absolutely no pressure(its on youtube) Anyway Liverpool fans came up with an amazingly clever chant to the tune of Blame it on the Boogie which went sth like: Don't blame it on Distan Don't blame it on Finnan Don't blame it on Hamman Blame it on Traore.
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!

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.
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
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.
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,
Match day, put on your colours, meet up with a group of friends, drink silly amounts of beers, go to the game, sing your heads off & have a laugh. Win then go celebrate with more beers. Lose & drown your sorrows with some beers! Any excuse for a party.
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 🤣🤣
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.
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.
@@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!)
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.
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.)
Summed up in one word: Brutal. If this happened in the US, “Super Bowl fans go mental. And in other news, two planes have crashed into the world trade centre…”
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 😭🤣
Ha ha . We are fkn mad when it comes to football in this country. You also find the lower in the league a ream is the madder the chant are to adjust for the shtness of the football. Its all in good fun though.Just part of your day out. I love seeing Americans react to our football chants lol
Some people think football is a matter of life and death, I tend to disagree and can assure them it's much more important than that! Best quote in history to describe how serious we take it over here
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 …
So now this has been up a month I'll try to sum up some of the cultural references and nuances here: - football chants here are generally based around well-known tunes. One person starts things and everyone else joins in; - Adam Johnson plays for Sunderland, their home stadium is the "Stadium of Light". He was prosecuted for sexual activity with a minor..."nonce" and "noncing" are refences to being a paedophile; - Jimmy Savile was a TV celebrity who was good mates with a number of people in the Government and Royal Family; after his death it all came out that he was one of the most prolific sexual predators the UK has ever seen, preying on kids and in particular those in hospital - NEVER EVER feel sorry for him. There is an excellent documentary about him on Netflix that will turn your stomach; - Sky is the primary TV company who show football in the UK. The hatred of them, with their over the top pricing, brings a lot of dislike on them; - in more polite circles in the UK the word "c*nt" is the worst word in the world; in other circles it's used as a fun insult and nobody loses their shit over it; - people in Wales are accused / suspected of having an un-natural fondness for sheep, hence the beastiality references; - again, Jimmy Savile doesn't deserve any sympathy; - a "slapper" refers to a lady of loose morals; - "Kiddy" here refers to Kidderminster, a provincial town in England. A rough equivalent might be a small town in the Mid-West; - @14:23 if that guy had nodded or given a thumbs-up he'd have got the loudest cheer you'd ever heard; - @16:00 links back to the earlier chant about a guy banging on his belly. Body shaming doesn't exist on football terraces...
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 just saw this reaction and I cried laughing with your faces 😂😂😂 english football fans are unique. There's real rivalry there but they are so funny and people are used to it. 😂 But they are angels compared to ULTRAS. I suggest you react to Ultras videos. There is a real fanbase in Europe and Latin America and it's serious stuff. And the games with them present are another level, something unimaginable for an american. The football games I loved the most here in Europe, were those with half of the stadium filled with Ultras.😊

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,
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"
The most quintessentially British chant on here is the last one:
You're nothing special; we lose every week.
That was west ham fans chanting to man city fans.😂⚒️
Ha-ha! Are we just fantastic or what?
Its bloody good banter!
Match day, put on your colours, meet up with a group of friends, drink silly amounts of beers, go to the game, sing your heads off & have a laugh. Win then go celebrate with more beers. Lose & drown your sorrows with some beers! Any excuse for a party.
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 🤣🤣
Boris chant is referring to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
Mezit ozil his eyes are offside was another one.
Tbh not that aggressive, you want to hear how we can talk to our besties and work colleagues
The cricket can be just as funny when the fielders get close to the stands 😂
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.
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.
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!)
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!
The tune for Adam Johnston was originally a song called Cum On Feel The Noize by British band Slade
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"
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.
Yes a small group, one comes up with it, they practice on the bus and infects the large crowd, using familiar tunes and chants.
The best/funny reaction on youtube is Man united fan especially when they lost match to bitter rival Liverpool 😊
Goldbrige and the Korean guy? when they lost to Chelsea and then Palace was golden
And all this without a single cheerleader, organist or marching band in sight!
Oh God, that was funny. Can’t beat the crack in a football crowd. 😂
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.)
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
makes me crease when sky tv catches some strays 🤣🤣🤣 no one is safe to the chants
Adam Johnson did go to prison
American athletes would need therapy after a english crowd.
😂😂😂
Some of the tunes are:
Guantanamera
Come on feel the noiz (Slade)
Guide me O Thou Great Jehovah
Yankee Doodle
Yanks will never challenge the British humour
Jimmy saville also did nasty things in mortuaries.....
NO Aggression at all this is english banter/ humour. if you watch Britain’s football hooligans 80s/90s now thats aggression 😂😂
If it's not a well known chant usually someone will come up with something which then literally spreads by word of mouth through the stands 🇬🇧
Love your reactions guys 😂
Summed up in one word: Brutal.
If this happened in the US, “Super Bowl fans go mental. And in other news, two planes have crashed into the world trade centre…”
Its great when the opposition fans appreciate a good chant
Oh by the way, it’s FOOTBALL not SOCCER.
Great video lads.
Its all ment in good humour,wen they called the keeper fatty at the end of the game he appladed them n the crowd clapped back ,good humour by adult
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 😭🤣
Ha ha . We are fkn mad when it comes to football in this country. You also find the lower in the league a ream is the madder the chant are to adjust for the shtness of the football. Its all in good fun though.Just part of your day out. I love seeing Americans react to our football chants lol
Was comppete opposite to this when i grew up in upton park...home of west ham United..was funny and scary when millwall were on their way
Its so funny how he doesn't know who Jimmy Saville is 😂😂😂
Hide your kids from Adam Johnson and your mom from Jimmy Saville 😂
Saville also liked chiildren
@@Tyu-f1s That's putting it very mildly, how very British of you. LOL
What? Saville wasn't into mum's that was the whole problem.
What? Name one mum Saville touched? He was a paedophile.
Guys, their mums were kids when Saville was active - that's the joke 🤦♀️
Some people think football is a matter of life and death, I tend to disagree and can assure them it's much more important than that! Best quote in history to describe how serious we take it over here
Bill Shankly IIRC?
He looks like Boris the mayor at the time!
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 …
So now this has been up a month I'll try to sum up some of the cultural references and nuances here:
- football chants here are generally based around well-known tunes. One person starts things and everyone else joins in;
- Adam Johnson plays for Sunderland, their home stadium is the "Stadium of Light". He was prosecuted for sexual activity with a minor..."nonce" and "noncing" are refences to being a paedophile;
- Jimmy Savile was a TV celebrity who was good mates with a number of people in the Government and Royal Family; after his death it all came out that he was one of the most prolific sexual predators the UK has ever seen, preying on kids and in particular those in hospital - NEVER EVER feel sorry for him. There is an excellent documentary about him on Netflix that will turn your stomach;
- Sky is the primary TV company who show football in the UK. The hatred of them, with their over the top pricing, brings a lot of dislike on them;
- in more polite circles in the UK the word "c*nt" is the worst word in the world; in other circles it's used as a fun insult and nobody loses their shit over it;
- people in Wales are accused / suspected of having an un-natural fondness for sheep, hence the beastiality references;
- again, Jimmy Savile doesn't deserve any sympathy;
- a "slapper" refers to a lady of loose morals;
- "Kiddy" here refers to Kidderminster, a provincial town in England. A rough equivalent might be a small town in the Mid-West;
- @14:23 if that guy had nodded or given a thumbs-up he'd have got the loudest cheer you'd ever heard;
- @16:00 links back to the earlier chant about a guy banging on his belly. Body shaming doesn't exist on football terraces...
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.
Reminds me of what a flash mob would do. They vocalize versus dancing. They are the life of the games. Get the crowds hyped up! 👍🏼😂🤣😂
I like that you find the chants funny without always knowing the context. It just proves that it's just silly fun/banter.
It's normal to be fair in football and thank you for your chip looking forward to seeing more 👍🏻🇬🇧
I just saw this reaction and I cried laughing with your faces 😂😂😂 english football fans are unique. There's real rivalry there but they are so funny and people are used to it. 😂
But they are angels compared to ULTRAS. I suggest you react to Ultras videos. There is a real fanbase in Europe and Latin America and it's serious stuff. And the games with them present are another level, something unimaginable for an american. The football games I loved the most here in Europe, were those with half of the stadium filled with Ultras.😊
They are battle-cries and we are pretty good at fighting, we practice on each other all the time 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Really enjoyed your laughing dude 😂
The way who english uses chants to depreciate the rival and also themselves are an art.
