‘I wanna go home, I wanna go home…’ etc. Generally sung by away fans who have paid good money to visit the alleged ‘sh**hole’ town and are free to leave at any point….but don’t.
"Your nothing special we lose every week" as I member it been sung in Lee Jay's bad spell. Bad times.
"He's fat he's French he can't fit on the bench Cantona Cantona" when we hosted Man U during the prem season.
"Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner" from the North Terrace as West Ham fans were slinking off in their hundreds..... FA Cup game 1993.
Most childish chant is that Man United one. Nick nack paddywack give the dog a bone All you scousers f*** off home.
Library / sh:thole chants are just lazy, unoriginal and boring. But used every week. Great to hear some new previously unheard songs from the Stockport fans yesterday, including one about the Scarf my Grandad wore. Lovely. I absolutely love the Hibs rendition of “Sunshine on Leith”. Funniest chant I heard was at Derby 30 odd years ago at the Baseball ground. We were getting battered and fans were just looking for any other entertainment. There ensued a load of banter with the Stewards, which was very good-natured but alot of p:ss taking. Including the usual “Get a proper job” etc At which point a chant went up.(tune of Tiny Kangaroo Down, Sport) “Two fifty an hour, free luminous coat” Even the Stewards were singing it.
Any tragedy chanting just needs to f*** off (Munich, Hillsborough etc). Likewise the JAQ song - just rank bad taste.
Especially when the said town is very far from being a shithole. Difficult to argue (from a factual point of view) when playing Rotherham or Stevenage. But singing it at Shrewsbury or Lincoln is completely absurd.
Somebody tried to get a good one going at the game Saturday, to the tune of ‘Waka Waka - Shakira’ samanana eh eh waka waka eh eh Kelechi nwakali, he’s from nigeria’ Pretty funny how it fit so well.
