Fox92 Posted 30 October 2016 Share Posted 30 October 2016 Please can people stop singing stuff like "have you ever seen xxxx (in yesterday's case, Tottenham) win the league".... Clubs with a rich history and we turn up singing shite like this. It's embarrassing. I'm all for singing about being Champions (I'll still be banging on about it in fifty years time) but singing about other clubs - particularly big clubs - is wrong. Tottenham have won the league multiple times, and we've won it once. Sing about ourselves not the opposition (though of course "who came third" and all that was funny).

C-man Posted 30 October 2016 Share Posted 30 October 2016 'Champions of England, you'll never sing that' got started numerous occasions yesterday. Surely we can review the CCTV and issue stadium bans to anyone seen singing it? Slightly related but why does every fvcking new chant have to be to Sloop John B? Hurts my ears.

Twice I agree about the never winning the league bollocks considering we've done it to completely the wrong teams. Unfortunately people don't bother to research before making statements or singing chants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 30 October 2016 Share Posted 30 October 2016 I'm all up for celebrating our success but these 'songs' are embarrassing. The whole of last year we laughed in the face of the 'arrogant' fans of the 'big' teams who generally come across as cvnts, singing shit like this just means we've become everything that we defied last season. Also anything to the tune of Sloop John fvcking B needs binning immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjani Posted 30 October 2016 Share Posted 30 October 2016 Songs and chants are generally completely boring now. It's just the same stuff as other clubs sing, only a few clubs sing unique chants. Mainly Man United and Liverpool away fans. The rest is just Zzzzzzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boots60 Posted 30 October 2016 Share Posted 30 October 2016 The anti Tottenham chants are a bit of fun.Taking the piss. A bit different to the ones from the distant past with multiple references to the Jews in WW2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SystonFox Posted 30 October 2016 Share Posted 30 October 2016 Surely the have you ever seen Tottenham win the league is aimed at 21 year old Spurs fans giving it the big un? they haven't seen Spurs win the league.

The Chelsea game earlier on TV and they were singing stuff like "you'll never be Champions of Europe" and "Lampard has won more than you" to Southampton.

Finnegan Posted 31 October 2016 Share Posted 31 October 2016 Generally I hate the chant, it smacks of the sort of arrogance we were supposed to be the antithesis of. To go from singing We Are Staying Up whilst blatantly about to win the league to singing You'll Never Sing That at shit like Hull or Burnley is a little bit shit imo. But if you're going to sing it at anyone, surely singing it at Spuds is the funniest regardless of whether they won a title in 1510. Clearly the message is obvious.

Voll Blau Posted 31 October 2016 Share Posted 31 October 2016 No problem with singing "have you ever seen [player's name win the league]". Decent wind-up. Other than that, couldn't agree more. Give me the mix of songs we had in the Bruges away end any day over most of what we have to put up with at domestic aways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie93 Posted 31 October 2016 Share Posted 31 October 2016 I thought the away end was good on saturday, far better than others we've had. I'd rather us sing "embarrassing" chants than have a quiet end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonnieTodger Posted 31 October 2016 Share Posted 31 October 2016 I agree it's a bit arrogant to do it to smaller clubs and the "You'll never sing that" to Spurs and Liverpool is pathetic, but Im glad we sang about last season against Spurs. How many of those fans at WHL on Saturday were around when they did actually win the league? The way they go on about themselves, it's as if they've won everything possible in the last decade. Spurs fans deserve every bit of piss-taking they get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not against that, I'm just not a fan of singing about history to sides like Spurs - for me it doesn't matter what year they won the title if they have indeed won it.

Nobody was singing that Spurs have never won the league. It was aimed at the more vocal 20-40 odd year olds who think they're a huge club when actually then only have their dads and grandads stories to go off. Leicester have won the league in all of our lifetimes. Let's enjoy it and rub the noses of those who think they're something they're not in it. Football in England is all about giving and taking the piss, why stop? I don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont fret mate, it was more at the people who whinge when we've been singing We know what we are in other games. The match thread for united was filled with melts worrying because we were singing it despite being 4-0 down. I understand your point of view but ultimately my opinion is '**** it, why not?'

Granted, twice is a multiple of once but I don't think they're a big club, that was my point really. Everton are a much bigger club than Spurs. As for spurs fans............cry babies.

sylofox Posted 5 November 2016 Share Posted 5 November 2016 having a pint with two spuds last night both at the game last week. One mid fifties the other is 22. Both agreed after the shite and bile some of them spouted last season and since we won the prem they deserve all the piss take we give them. The older one did say why did we not sing premier league champions you'll never sing that. Seems some of our fans are more upset than the spuds about our songs.
