90% of football chants are painfully unfunny and unoriginal.

 

We're one of the few clubs to still do the painfully unfunny "You're shit aaaaahh" after goal kicks but you'll still see grown men giggling after every one. Football is all about rivallry and stereotypes that everyone knows aren't true (mostly) but the banter comes from that old school backwards and forwards singing them at each other. Does Soyuncu have a massive knob? No-one knows. Are people actually going to shit on the red side of the Trent? You'd hope not. Iwan never lived in a council flat next door to Joachim. There was a thread on here a few weeks back of inaccurate and accurate chants. And it covered virtually everything ever sung.

 

Norwich & Ipswich fans aren't farmers. Derby aren't Sheepshaggers. And of course, Liverpool fans don't all sit in squalor in absoilute poverty. It's nothing to do with the Sun or political affiliations however much you might hope it is, it never will be. But if we're at the point where we're so depressed with the whole thing that we'll actually sit & debate the inaccuracy of football chants, then the life really has gone from the terraces and we'll all just sit there grinning and slapping bits of carboard and drown out the nasty men injuring each other with hurty words.

Thanks for this, you've put it well.

 

You're not singing a football chant because you're a bigot or an idiot, you're singing whatever is most likely to annoy or rile the opposing mob. 

 

I agree that things like homosexuality being used in the pejorative, or racism, have no place in society full stop - but if you can't pull out some nonsensical regional caricature to annoy the visitors then an important part of football culture has gone.

I think we don't appreciate just how good our owners are. They do this a couple of times a season as well as throwing out 100s of tshirts in the cannon every week. They've also transformed us into a club that is on the cusp of becoming one of the elite.
