What's your favourite football chant?

[HauntedBungalow]

What are your favourite football chants?

Some of mine:

When Rio Ferdinand was on the bench for months after fluffing his drugs test : His name is Rio and he watches from the stand

When Bury signed their new striker : Lennell John-Lewis his name is a shop

Celtic during Coronation week : You can shove your coronation up your arse, you can shove your coronation up your arse, you can shove your coronation, shove your coronation etc

One from my childhood : Georgie Best, superstar, walks like a woman and he wears a bra

Supporters in the family stand many many moons ago:

He’s here, he’s there, we’re not allowed to swear, Brian McClair!

Poverty chants aren't clever or funny.
You haven't even got the words right, not that it matters.

One from my first team to the tune of Mary's Boy Child:

Hark now hear the Ipswich sing!
The Norwich ran away!
And we will fight forever more
Because of Boxing Day!

And one from the team I watch at the moment, to the tune of Old Smoky. Just so random it makes me chuckle.

I had a wheelbarrow, the wheel fell off, I had a wheelbarrow, the wheel fell off, County, County, County

@mynewname0324 A lot of football chants could be deemed offensive. You can't start being precious about them. My DH is often 'chanted at' in a way that could be considered culturally offensive to him - but then his 'side' come back with something equally quick and clever. Twas ever thus.

On this thread alone, there have been fattist songs and ablist chants
People singing about Koreans eating dogs
People being called cunts, wankers and bin-dippers
And you cite a joke about being work-shy - noone is laughing at people being genuinely hungry ffs

Not a chant, but a banner. This all depends if you know the home side and the city of the away side.

the banner read " if you think this is hell, you should try The Grafton on a Saturday night".

The away side was in Istanbul and was Nick named "Hell", the Grafton was a (in)famous pub on Scotty road in Liverpool.

Who ate all the pies
Who ate all the pies
You fat bastard
You fat bastatd
You ate all the pies

I like Arsenal's Zinchecko-o, always believe in your soul... To the tune of Gold by Spandau Ballet

During the recent good run, I liked hearing the "stadiums are empty everywhere we go" one

I also like the Kai Havertz one: 60 million down the drain, Kai Havertz scores again (to the tune of Shakira's waka waka)

My all time fave though is the Allez Allez Allez one which Liverpool claim they invented (lol - theirs is Ole Ole Ole and it was a chant in Europe long before it made its way here)

Well , if you're so clever, let's have the right words.

I don't watch football but when it was having its moment even I heard
"Will Grigg's on fire, your defence is terrified" to the tune of "Freed from desire"

and I quite like the cheerful, clear headed pragmatism of 'We're not Brazil, we're Northern Ireland".

To the tune of "good enough" by Dodgy

Mo Salah, la, la, la, la,
La, la, la, la, la, la,

Mo Salah, la, la, la, la,
La, la, la, la, la, la,

If he's good enough for you,
He's good enough for me,
If he scores another few then I'll be Muslim too,
If he's good enough for you,
He's good enough for me,
Then sitting in a mosque is where I wanna be...
(Repeat)

Que Sera, Serah

Steve Gerrard, Gerrard,
He'll pass the ball 40 yards,
He's big and he's f*ing hard,
Steve Gerrard, Gerrard...

Tune Of Just Can't Get Enough

Dadadadadadadada Luis Suarez,
Dadadadadadadada Luis Suarez.

His name is Suarez and he wears the famous red,
I just cant get enough, I just cant get enough,
When he scores a volley or when he scores a head,
I just cant get enough, I just cant get enough.

He scores a goal and the kop go wild,
And I just cant seem to,
Get enough,
Suarez!

Dadadadadadadada Luis Suarez,
Dadadadadadadada Luis Suarez..

@SlightlyJaded
That chant revels in people being unable to get a job (which you have deemed is being work shy 🙄). If you knew anything about being on the receiving end of certain chants - there are several directed to Liverpool fans and also to Man Utd fans you'd know that some chants are so offensive they shouldn't be sung.

The OP didn't request for people to post every football chant they've ever heard (despite some of the tripe that has been posted).

I was responding to the fact some had selected that chant as their favourite. It's not clever or funny.

I saw the sectarian rangers one which was also offensive and shouldn't be sung, haven't seen the other offensive ones you refer to as being on this thread though have skimmed it.

I sold my car...to Louis Paqueta
Bowen's on fire 🔥 and he's shagging Dani Dyer

The Grafton was on West Derby Rd

Merry Xmas everyone

Mané's scoring,
All around us,
Kopites singing, having fun,
It's the season, joy and understanding
Merry Christmas, Everton...

Agreed. A shame when there's so many witty ones to choose from.

🙄

Should I be offended every time away fans chant that my town is a shithole and they urgently need to go home? Must be mocking the poverty here

No football is tribal,the chants are to antagonise or to say how superior your team is compared to the opposition, nobody believes that people eat rats in yer glesga slums for a treat,has any truth in it or the incest family one for any given small town club is true.

Ah I know that one as

Hark now hear the City sing
United ran away
and we will fight forever more
because of derby day!

Oi, back off!!!! UTM ⚽

And yes we do......
