The "Fire Drill" song is very often sung about 15 or 20 minutes before the end of the game when the home team is losing and their fans start leaving to avoid the crush at the gates or the local station. The fans of the visiting team are often "penned" in their section until 15 or 20 minutes after then end of the match to avoid the two sets of fans meeting in crowded areas where trouble can start. Also, it's considered "disloyal" to leave before the end.
I m Australian and worked in UK as a matchday steward.its louder and more harsh than this. Great craic. A lot of these songs are to the tune of pop songs.
One of the ones I heard from the away end of Birmingham City vs Cardiff City where the home crowd were largely quiet until they had one chance they missed and finally found their voices, the away fans responded with "We forgot that you were here". 😆
One of my favourite ever chants that was made up quickly was when my team Plymouth Argyle played QPR (Queens Park Rangers) and they had a player called Marc Bircham who had dyed blue stripes into his hair.... us argyle fans started singing "He's got smurf sh!t in his hair, he's got smurf sh!t in his hair". I think even the player had a laugh about it
One of the best things about supporting your team (mine is Newcastle United) is going to an away match it is a culture of its own. You drink a brewery on the way down, end up in a pub once to get to the city you are playing in and drink more there, you are with like minded folks, you end up having a laugh with your pals and depending on how drunk you are it can lead to some things happening that will end up on a video that goes on the internet which American people end up reacting to 🤣🤣 then on the way back home (pending how far you go) you drink some more and roll through the front door late at night People can make friends for life from this 🤣🤣🤣 PS the chant about shagging my wife is about a player called Fabricio Coloccini he was one of our best defenders when he played for Newcastle United he even stuck by us when we got relegated and led us to promotion at the first time of asking the following season so he is loved by us for how good he was of a player but also the loyalty he gave.
Hiya Jonathan, King Boomer thought Fabrizio Collicini was Italian but he is Argentine, I too am a Newcastle supporter and have been for 30 years, have you subscribed to the Toon Review? if you haven't subscribe now listen to Paul in his earlier vlogs when Steve Bruce was manager and Mike Ashley was owner, this Is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumbria
I really must protest, O'Nilbud face. That one with the bird, shouting 'n bawling; "Get ya tits out for the lads" was the cry, in t'other stand. She had some "crack" about her, and forthwith pulled her jumper up. ( Can't remember where it was.) We need this humour in "stadia", always. This is the essence of the game in England..err the U.K. I can't really comment about any where else, 'cos i a'int been. ( Your surname is suspect, btw. )
The creativity of your typical British football fan always cracks me up 😁 Just a note for the authors. A lot of chants are made up on the spot by some incredibly witty fan and is picked up by the rest of the crowd if they think it worthy 😀
The funniest chant I ever saw at a footie match was there were some old bill walking around and the fans sang "we paid for those hats, what a waste of council tax, we paid for those hats"
A brand new stadium has just opened up right next to my house, so i hear chants now again especially when they score, 100’s of people walking around in the same clothes and colours, definitely walking across the road when it gets a lot warmer, i don’t even care for football, but when it’s literally outside of your front door you have to go 👍🏻👌🏻🇬🇧🍻🍺
Thanks for posting these new chants, most of which I've not seen before. The fans singing "We're being mauled by the Tigers" are actually Leeds fans being sarcastic about the performance of Hull City as Hull's nickname is "The Tigers".
The season previous Hull beat Leeds and they sang you've been mauled by the tigers, which the Leeds fans found hilariously pathetic, especially as they were doing the maul motion with their hands too. So when Leeds beat them 4-0 the chant went out to take the piss.
With the Chant you liked so much “If you’re watching on the telly you’re a cünt”; all of the chants follow pretty much the same tunes each time so when a group of people start one chant, it can spread across the stadium in _seconds._ A lot of the Premier League games are broadcast live during the day, the entire stadium is Mic’d up and it’s nigh on impossible to filter out the crowd noise from everything else. An entire stadium singing the exact same thing is very loud and very clear. If you’re watching the football at home, you’ll hear it clear as day…”If you’re watching on the Telly, you’re a cünt!”
“Is there a fire drill?” Traditionally sung when the away team is hammering the home team and the home supporters start flooding to the exits. Check out a recent Manchester United 0 Liverpool 5 when the home fans were rushing out as early as half time. (0-4 at the time) Record breaking evacuation. Respect.
who that dying on the runway, traditionally sung by Liverpool fans up to the mid eighties, and still sung by Leeds and man city fans , Liverpool FC never apologize or acknowledge for this behaviour, brushed under the carpet, sung at old Trafford with 2 survivors with their families sat in the directors box
There's no coordination or planning. You're born in a city or a borough, you grow up there and you're a fan. You hear the chants you whole life and you sing them every weekend with your mates. It's grown into you. It's a part of you. It's your home. It's sacred.
i can hear you saying throughout the video that they had all these chants before hand- about 90% of all chants in english stadiums are made on the spot, and everyone just joins in happily if one person starts singing it!
With the "Big Dick" chant, there's a bit of extra context, in that I'm pretty sure that would have been filmed when the team manager was Dick Advocaat, who, being a reasonably rotund fellow was affectionately known as Big Dick by the home fans!
The US lacks chants is because you don't really have ' away fans' in the stadium due to the distances! I tried at a Clevland reds game and finished up on the big screen! 😆
I watch MLS every week from here in the UK. I've seen it's growth since 1996. It's true - when the away team scores, there camera has trouble focussing in on the 14 jubilant people supporting the away team at the top corner of the stadium! Although - it is getting better - at least 200 away supporters, even when the likes of LA Galaxy play New York City FC these days.
Aw yes...A beautiful example of how the power of man, when co-existing in their natural habitat, can influence and inspire so many around them. Uniting as one, creatively working together in harmony and with perfect order. It brings a tear to my eye...I'm so proud! 🤣😂🤣
If it helps, there four main reason for singing Celebration- you've scored a goal, saved a penalty, won a game Self Deprecation- part of British culture and humour to take the piss out of ourselves ("you're nothing special, we lose every week") continually Antagonism- to vent and take the piss out of anything to do with the opposition- their fans, their players, their club, their ground, their manager, their city/town. Anything we don't like about them, we'll let them know. Occasionally we just vent at anything in general (ie Sky TV) Boredom- the game is dull, we're losing heavily so we just have a laugh (ie "there's a plant pot on their head" which I think was Barnsley fans or "lets pretend we scored a goal") Some are spontaneous, some are obvious and some are pre-planned. All part of a day out watching your team.
Many chants originate from fans challenging each other to "give us a song" in the pubs before the game or on coaches when travelling to away games. The better ones then being repeated in the stadiums and catching on as others pick up the words from those around them.
Colochinni is Argentinean and he has seriously curly hair, played for Newcastle... its tradition we love to sing and throw abuse, helped by a few beers
All chants are made up on the spot as a reaction. The loudest or drunkest funny person usually starts off and if the crowd likes it they'll often join in. Some even become classics, but 99 percent are spontaneous.
I used to work at a Premier League stadium back in the day and the atmosphere is incredible! Also worked in pubs on match days! It was brilliant! The tips were amazing and the banter was incredible! My kids have been seen season ticket holders for about 17 years! They’re only 23 now and knew all the chants, much to my disillusionment! Their grandad thought them everything they know 🏴 ⚽️
You picked up on some stadiums that seemed very tiny, In England they have a tier system so the Best teams are Tier 1 and the further you go down the less money and smaller stadiums, however these are the best supporters and have the best chants, the lower you go the more ruthless it gets. If you can't get to the actual game the next best thing for a good atmosphere is the pub to watch the big games, it's absolutely brilliant until the emotions start and the fighting starts with both sets of fans.
I love the banter with Man United vs Man City. I'm a United supporter and we usually go for the fact they have no fans or history in our insults towards them as they are infact better than us for quite a long time.
And then City go for the fact United aren't the team they used to be or just rip the piss out of your players. But that's just a football derby for you
United Fan ? Which one, knobhead ? Proper football folk would not say that, mr "Krippin. I'm a "united fan", but not that mob. alaw. (Doubt you'll get the deliberate miss spelling of your surname. Dr Crippen, look him up)
Liverpool supporters singing "you'll never walk alone"in Brisbane Australia, 85.000 people dining the one tune, even as a Geordie I've gorra give to the scousers on this one. Fun fact, at this match out of the 85.000 people there you will see the bravest man ever, one sole Everton supporter , Liverpool play in red n white, Everton play in blue n white, either this man was either pissed or lost, or both lol, or its one hell of a bet lol., howay the lads, (Newcastle United )
"Small town in Scotland, you're just a small town in Scotland..." chanted by West Ham (London team) to Newcastle fans (Newcastle is a northern English city near the Scottish border)
@@morduedocumentaries Some people struggle with objectivity. But then again, we were all idiotic teens at matches, one time or another.... Well, i was, anyway.
@@Omgxhunter yes, I’ve heard that one, too. One slight problem. I was born in Liverpool and support the Liverpool team, although my grandad was an Everton season ticket holder and him indoors supports Chelsea. So, I’ve never been that keen on that chant, nor have I ever eaten rat or lived in a council house. Suppose I’m just lucky. Closest I’ve got to rat, is the French traditional tripe sausage served in Les Routiers.
The one with the inflatable male appendage is Sunderland fans when Dick Advocaat was our manager. We didn’t just decide to take inflatable body parts to the match…. Edit: And the Geordies stole the Colocinni song from us - originally it was Paolo di Canio and we wanted ‘dirty knees too’ (after a knee slide when we won 3-0 at Newcastle) ruclips.net/video/D56In0Kvoso/видео.html👌🏻
I'll think you will find that West Ham fans first adored Paolo di Canio & actually gave him the song..... West Ham gave him his UK debut - & had him back as a manager.
Balotelli is an absolute star, he's gone around some of the most deprived areas giving away cash. He gave away a Bentley, he gave £1000 to a homeless man, another time he dressed as Santa and drove around giving cash to people on the street. Top level UK players are some of the top earners in any sector, Christiano Ronaldo is reportedly the highest earner making over £500k a week. Balotelli made the headlines by giving back to people. Yes, he's Italian.
yeah, but one of the lines in that songs goes right over the head of most people. "He is good at darts" is a clear reference to the headlines when he threw dart arrows at youth players at Man City
I think the Balotelli chant is extremely well worded. It’s sung to the tune of the Aris B.C chant "ooo poustarades, o babas sas, in arianos, putana i omada ke roufianos o laos, mia zoi tha trehete de ginete alios. The fans have some major skill to come up with the words to perfectly match the Greek chant.
Wasn't he stopped on Moss Side for the offence of "driving an expensive car while black"? The police found £10,000 in cash and asked him why. Answer: "Because I am rich." As a Man Utd fan, that put him in my top 5 Man City players (behind Bert Trautmann, obviously).
Lenell John- Lewis is a Grimsby Town player he returned to the club a couple of years ago for a second stint with the club, John Lewis is a department store in Britain. I can’t remember who he is playing for at the time of this video.
If you actually go to "away" games, you can comment "all day long" Kelly. Some people on here do'nt even go to home games, but feel they've got a right to comment on matches..... Blank 'em, for ever, I say.
@@blackbob3358 i cant stand it bob those that think they know how my team (plus football in general) works. been going to games since '72 with my dad, a season ticket holder since 87 very rarely miss a game then some 2 bob mug thinks they have to right to tell me how it is. COYS
Great reaction guys. I don't know if anyone's mentioned the dick one, but one of those teams has a manager called Dick... My favourite chant has to be after Scottish goalkeeper Andy Goram was diagnosed with schizophrenia, the next match he played in they're chanting "There's only two Andy Goram's". Absolute class that one!
Without doubt the best chant was from the west ham fans when they had a hapless forward called Zamora. The chant "if you're sat in row Z and the ball hits your head, that's Zamora" The memory still makes me laugh
To our American cousins - to try to really understand football - think on the late, great, Bill Shankly (manager of Liverpool) - "Football's not a matter of life or death, it's much more important than that".
I moved to Sheffield for several months before Covid hit. Up the road a bit, perhaps a ten minute walk or so, was a stadium - I think it was average or smaller, but you knew there was a match on - not because of cars everywhere or the scores of people walking up; it was the noise. That crowd singing I heard from my dorm room lol
Colocchine was a permed haired Argentinean defender who played for Newcastle, there is another one to the tune of George Michaels " Last Christmas " about the then manager Rafa Benitez
Newcastle and Liverpool fans are the best atmosphere is bouncing you will enjoy your time in both Newcastles night life and Liverpool too 2 best places in the uk
Some of these are quite tame, the atmosphere at derbies can be crazy!!. The Manchester derby,North london derby, West ham v Millwall,Birmingham v Villa, Derby v Forest etc...etc... can all get really loud and often need heavy policing! I've been to about 60 premier league games and the chants often come out of nowhere and are quite spontaneous.
By the way, We do not prepare chants, one person makes it up, the rest join in. I was at football on Saturday and someone was flicking fingers (putting their middle finger up in case you don't know) and what started? "WHOS THE SLAPPER IN THE CROCS? WHOS THE SLAPPER IN THE CROCS?" football is amazing and I am proud of my country. Also, about lennel john-lewis there is a major British shop company called John lewis
Go to the games that are away games for the fans that you want to hear/ sing with. Away days ARE ALWAYS THE BEST! Even smaller grounds can be absolutely brilliant.
I wonder if there was someone called richard on the pitch at the time. Some are prepared and shared before the game, but most are spontaneous. The addams family one, the team they were singing about was Kidderminster Harriers.
Coloccini was Newcastle captain. They are my team. We are are known as the geordies we play in black and white. Coloccini was a very good player he had really curly hair and he was from Argentina. Newcastle are known for some great chants.
In case your wondering how all the crowd know to sing the same songs in the same way , there are perhaps half a dozen basic chant tunes which underly most songs . So the fans know the music it’s just the words that change . Quite a few come from fan forums , some from literally someone in a pub before the game coming up with words or literally hearing the chant for the first time by a group nearby and because you already know the basic tune being able to join in after first hearing it once… great feeling of inclusivity.. well for your team obviously , clearly not if it’s directed AT you like … “ When your sat in row Z and the ball hits your head.. that’s Zamora!! “ Sang to the Dean Martin tune … that’s amore
First time I'm seeing one of your vids, 26 seconds in and already know that you're my kinda people and that I wanna see the previous chant vid(s) you reacted to.
I've watched a couple of your vids and you guys are really chill and likeable, keep doing what your doing 👍 Also you look like a guy who is into his sports, if so you might be interested in reacting to a vid about football ultras. These guys take being a football fan to a whole new level and the level of dedication they have is pretty wild. Think there's a vid called "ultras our way of life", check it out if you fancy it.
Most of our songs are based off a song from artist and normally a few people come up with a chant and then after a while it catches on. Well make a song out of anything over here. We love taking the piss out of each other 😂😂
Btw for the mauled by the tigers one at 4:43 hull sing that song when they are beating another team and it’s like the clingiest song is football so we (Leeds) we’re moving them by singing we’re getting mauled by the tigers even though it was 4-0 to Leeds
John Lewis is a popular store here in the UK. Also I’m pretty sure that the “we’re getting mauled by the tigers” chant was sarcastic because the team nicknamed the tigers were losing
You asked if it was thought of before the game, main chants have been around for years, like the signature chats.. Others, like most of these, one or 2 will start chanting next thing you know its spread like wild fire.. English Football fans like myself are beyond bonkers in the best way possible 🤣🤣
@king Boomer i am from England and i go to loads of these games and honestly the atmosphere in all of them is insane and usually we make up a chant and then after singing it everyone get's to kno0w it or we have other chants that have been at the club for a long time we also sing.
There's the songs club specific. There's ones that all clubs sing similar. And there's almost "formulas" to many chants. So , depending what's happening one person can start something / make up something new and it's pretty easy and quick for everyone to join in and know what we're singing. More singing happens for away fans, if you're travelling and you're in like 3000 people away fans Only not 40000 Home fans... You gotta make a lot of noise. It's law.
I'd recommend Crystal Palace and Burnley for games to watch. Palace is amazing and Burnley, well; it's my club but some of the 'off the cuff' chants they come up with is on another level.
The Coloccini song is from Newcastle United fans at St James park he was our Argentina captain and yes he had curly hair he retired back to Argentina around 2016, look up Newcastle fans signing Bruno’s magic hat he’s our latest signing from Brazil, Newcastle is in north east England and the fans are some of the loudest in the country home or away. Up the Mags 🖤🤍🖤🤍 bye Calli 👍👏👏👏
I always loved “He’s big, he’s red, his feet hang off the bed, he’s Peter Crouch”…he’s 6’7” by the way 😂
He also gave the best answer ever to the question "what would you be if you weren't a professional footballer?"
"Probably a virgin"
Loved Crouchy, he spent 7 and a half years at Stoke.
“He’s fat, he’s round, his car is in the pound.” Liverpool fans re bulky Jan Molby after a drink drive conviction.
I find it funny these English watch football with no English players lmfao the English are vanishing from football TV & Streets
@@RUclipscanbitemyhairybanger I remember that, had me in tears, still does!
The 'fire drill' chant is directed at the opposition's supporters, obviously losing, leaving before full time.
The "Fire Drill" song is very often sung about 15 or 20 minutes before the end of the game when the home team is losing and their fans start leaving to avoid the crush at the gates or the local station. The fans of the visiting team are often "penned" in their section until 15 or 20 minutes after then end of the match to avoid the two sets of fans meeting in crowded areas where trouble can start. Also, it's considered "disloyal" to leave before the end.
Gotta admit, the British, and probably other European countries have some amazing atmospheres at games. The chants are so good haha

"Is there a fire drill?" is great with the fans of the losing team leaving the stadium early because they're getting destroyed lol

Celebration- you've scored a goal, saved a penalty, won a game
Self Deprecation- part of British culture and humour to take the piss out of ourselves ("you're nothing special, we lose every week") continually

United Fan ? Which one, knobhead ? Proper football folk would not say that, mr "Krippin. I'm a "united fan", but not that mob. alaw. (Doubt you'll get the deliberate miss spelling of your surname. Dr Crippen, look him up)
@@blackbob3358 what you going on about?
Liverpool supporters singing "you'll never walk alone"in Brisbane Australia, 85.000 people dining the one tune, even as a Geordie I've gorra give to the scousers on this one. Fun fact, at this match out of the 85.000 people there you will see the bravest man ever, one sole Everton supporter , Liverpool play in red n white, Everton play in blue n white, either this man was either pissed or lost, or both lol, or its one hell of a bet lol., howay the lads, (Newcastle United )
95,000 all 10,000 miles from Liverpool :)
I think it was at the mcg Melbourne.

Liverpool have the best atmosphere, in my opinion,
"Small town in Scotland, you're just a small town in Scotland..." chanted by West Ham (London team) to Newcastle fans (Newcastle is a northern English city near the Scottish border)
West Ham have the best chants! :)
@@DavetheNord come off it dave
@@morduedocumentaries Come on you Hammers!!! 😁
@@morduedocumentaries Some people struggle with objectivity. But then again, we were all idiotic teens at matches, one time or another.... Well, i was, anyway.
u made me laff in stitches jhon Lewis is a type a shop with other shops inside howling 🤣🤣🤣🤣
We love taking this piss out of each other good times sad times got ta keep your chin up fella n treacle 👍 THFC🏴
Just found your channel! Love it. By the way, John Lewis is a chain of department stores across the UK.
He used to play for bury these were bury fans singing
They aren't prepared... When entering the stadium we somehow become a hive mind...
Je-Sung Park, a Korean footballer, inspired this chant … “He shoots! He scores! He’ll eat your Labradors!”
I prefer "Park! Park! wherever you may be, you eat dogs in your home country! Could be worse! Could be scouse! Eating rats in your council house!
@@Omgxhunter yes, I’ve heard that one, too. One slight problem. I was born in Liverpool and support the Liverpool team, although my grandad was an Everton season ticket holder and him indoors supports Chelsea. So, I’ve never been that keen on that chant, nor have I ever eaten rat or lived in a council house. Suppose I’m just lucky. Closest I’ve got to rat, is the French traditional tripe sausage served in Les Routiers.
Love how it's just straight up racist haahha jesus christ
@@gullfiber2010 I mean I feel it makes fun of scousers more than Koreans tbh
@@lindylou7853 Ahhh you've gotta be able to laugh at yourself too though
John lewi is a chain of shops in UK
The one with the inflatable male appendage is Sunderland fans when Dick Advocaat was our manager. We didn’t just decide to take inflatable body parts to the match….
Edit: And the Geordies stole the Colocinni song from us - originally it was Paolo di Canio and we wanted ‘dirty knees too’ (after a knee slide when we won 3-0 at Newcastle) ruclips.net/video/D56In0Kvoso/видео.html👌🏻
I'll think you will find that West Ham fans first adored Paolo di Canio & actually gave him the song..... West Ham gave him his UK debut - & had him back as a manager.
Hibs singing Sunshine in Leath is incredible, come on you STFC robins!
Balotelli is an absolute star, he's gone around some of the most deprived areas giving away cash. He gave away a Bentley, he gave £1000 to a homeless man, another time he dressed as Santa and drove around giving cash to people on the street.
Top level UK players are some of the top earners in any sector, Christiano Ronaldo is reportedly the highest earner making over £500k a week.
Balotelli made the headlines by giving back to people.
Yes, he's Italian.
yeah, but one of the lines in that songs goes right over the head of most people.
"He is good at darts" is a clear reference to the headlines when he threw dart arrows at youth players at Man City
I think the Balotelli chant is extremely well worded. It’s sung to the tune of the Aris B.C chant "ooo poustarades, o babas sas, in arianos, putana i omada ke roufianos o laos, mia zoi tha trehete de ginete alios.
The fans have some major skill to come up with the words to perfectly match the Greek chant.
He also made the headlines by firing fireworks in his bathroom xD pretty complex guy... Got a huge heart and no brain whatsoever.
Yep, 4kner. How many did that, then ? Granted, there's a few "at it" now, like.
Wasn't he stopped on Moss Side for the offence of "driving an expensive car while black"? The police found £10,000 in cash and asked him why. Answer: "Because I am rich."
As a Man Utd fan, that put him in my top 5 Man City players (behind Bert Trautmann, obviously).
British humour is gold medal 🏅 standard
There's only 2 Andy Gorams is my all time favourite (following his bipolar diagnosis).
Lenell John- Lewis is a Grimsby Town player he returned to the club a couple of years ago for a second stint with the club, John Lewis is a department store in Britain. I can’t remember who he is playing for at the time of this video.
I think it was Plymouth Argyle in this video. I could be wrong though.
i was there at the liverpool spurs game, we got our arses kicked, as always, but the atmosphere was great
this moment is by far the best)
If you actually go to "away" games, you can comment "all day long" Kelly. Some people on here do'nt even go to home games, but feel they've got a right to comment on matches..... Blank 'em, for ever, I say.
@@blackbob3358 i cant stand it bob those that think they know how my team (plus football in general) works. been going to games since '72 with my dad, a season ticket holder since 87 very rarely miss a game then some 2 bob mug thinks they have to right to tell me how it is. COYS
Great reaction guys. I don't know if anyone's mentioned the dick one, but one of those teams has a manager called Dick...
My favourite chant has to be after Scottish goalkeeper Andy Goram was diagnosed with schizophrenia, the next match he played in they're chanting "There's only two Andy Goram's". Absolute class that one!
Without doubt the best chant was from the west ham fans when they had a hapless forward called Zamora. The chant "if you're sat in row Z and the ball hits your head, that's Zamora"
The memory still makes me laugh
Ha ha love this 🤣🤣
To our American cousins - to try to really understand football - think on the late, great, Bill Shankly (manager of Liverpool) - "Football's not a matter of life or death, it's much more important than that".
I hadn't seen these ones before, great stuff & great reactions !
I moved to Sheffield for several months before Covid hit. Up the road a bit, perhaps a ten minute walk or so, was a stadium - I think it was average or smaller, but you knew there was a match on - not because of cars everywhere or the scores of people walking up; it was the noise. That crowd singing I heard from my dorm room lol
Man there are some much more ruthless ones out there haha. This was great though
The Collicini one was originally sung at West Ham United back in 2000 about Christian Dailly a Scottish player we had at the time! COYI
The brilliant thing about these songs they sing is they’re based on songs that everyone in the UK knows well, so everyone can pick up on it.
I’d love to see you react to “American vs English football chants (funny/cringe)”
The Americans don't get it though. They'll make you cringe.
you're laugh is contagious🤣🤣🤣 funny as fxxx subscribed
You seem to be enjoying your selves. It really is that good. Best fans in the world if you want a laugh and take the piss out of each other.
Colocchine was a permed haired Argentinean defender who played for Newcastle, there is another one to the tune of George Michaels " Last Christmas " about the then manager Rafa Benitez
Newcastle and Liverpool fans are the best atmosphere is bouncing you will enjoy your time in both Newcastles night life and Liverpool too 2 best places in the uk
Coloccini is Argentinian defend for Newcastle Utd. The Newcastle fans were singing that in awe of their defender
That's us geordies proper belta fans some would say the best in the premier league 😉
@@thebigrighthand7728 good following the Geordie’s. I’m a hammer. We used to sing this about Christian Dailly 😂
Absolutely fantastic love your videos and love your football jurisey
The chants are usually prepared if its a chant about a player saying how good he is, but a lot of these chants are off the cuff
Some of these are quite tame, the atmosphere at derbies can be crazy!!.
The Manchester derby,North london derby, West ham v Millwall,Birmingham v Villa, Derby v Forest etc...etc... can all get really loud and often need heavy policing! I've been to about 60 premier league games and the chants often come out of nowhere and are quite spontaneous.
And wolves v west brom
By the way, We do not prepare chants, one person makes it up, the rest join in. I was at football on Saturday and someone was flicking fingers (putting their middle finger up in case you don't know) and what started? "WHOS THE SLAPPER IN THE CROCS? WHOS THE SLAPPER IN THE CROCS?" football is amazing and I am proud of my country. Also, about lennel john-lewis there is a major British shop company called John lewis
I enjoy the self-grilling ones when they're losing. Excellent sporting attitude
Go to the games that are away games for the fans that you want to hear/ sing with. Away days ARE ALWAYS THE BEST! Even smaller grounds can be absolutely brilliant.
Watch the 17 top English football derbies. Derbies are local rivalries ,and they get to boiling point.
Mauld by the Tigers is sung by Hull fans where i live
Their nickname is the tigers because they play in orange and black btw.
Love that Lenell John Lewis chant, used to play for Bury back in day,
2:00 They’re Sunderland fans and at the time, their manager was a Dutch guy called Dick Advocaat
If you do visit a team in England, probably best to go in the away end. If you do a home match, go behind the goal for the best atmosphere.
I wonder if there was someone called richard on the pitch at the time. Some are prepared and shared before the game, but most are spontaneous. The addams family one, the team they were singing about was Kidderminster Harriers.
Coloccini was Newcastle captain. They are my team. We are are known as the geordies we play in black and white. Coloccini was a very good player he had really curly hair and he was from Argentina. Newcastle are known for some great chants.
The English Wit and humour is the best no where in the world can compete The Barmy Army the English Cricket supporters are just as entertaining.
John Lewis is a famous UK shop chain. Love this video. 😀
In case your wondering how all the crowd know to sing the same songs in the same way , there are perhaps half a dozen basic chant tunes which underly most songs . So the fans know the music it’s just the words that change . Quite a few come from fan forums , some from literally someone in a pub before the game coming up with words or literally hearing the chant for the first time by a group nearby and because you already know the basic tune being able to join in after first hearing it once… great feeling of inclusivity.. well for your team obviously , clearly not if it’s directed AT you like … “ When your sat in row Z and the ball hits your head.. that’s Zamora!! “ Sang to the Dean Martin tune … that’s amore
First time I'm seeing one of your vids, 26 seconds in and already know that you're my kinda people and that I wanna see the previous chant vid(s) you reacted to.
"Is there a fire drill" is in reference to a lot of fans leaving the stadium (probably losing by 3 or 4 goals)
just found your channel . love to both of you from the uk x
I've watched a couple of your vids and you guys are really chill and likeable, keep doing what your doing 👍
Also you look like a guy who is into his sports, if so you might be interested in reacting to a vid about football ultras. These guys take being a football fan to a whole new level and the level of dedication they have is pretty wild. Think there's a vid called "ultras our way of life", check it out if you fancy it.
This reminds me of the time I was going to the ice hockey games such a great time specially the away games on coach happy days
You ever come to the UK you have to go to a match, you'd love it 🙌
Most of our songs are based off a song from artist and normally a few people come up with a chant and then after a while it catches on. Well make a song out of anything over here. We love taking the piss out of each other 😂😂
The fire drill refers to people leaving games early
Btw for the mauled by the tigers one at 4:43 hull sing that song when they are beating another team and it’s like the clingiest song is football so we (Leeds) we’re moving them by singing we’re getting mauled by the tigers even though it was 4-0 to Leeds
lets face it your channel needs this girl , don't bother without her
John Lewis is a popular store here in the UK. Also I’m pretty sure that the “we’re getting mauled by the tigers” chant was sarcastic because the team nicknamed the tigers were losing
You asked if it was thought of before the game, main chants have been around for years, like the signature chats..
Others, like most of these, one or 2 will start chanting next thing you know its spread like wild fire.. English Football fans like myself are beyond bonkers in the best way possible 🤣🤣
@king Boomer i am from England and i go to loads of these games and honestly the atmosphere in all of them is insane and usually we make up a chant and then after singing it everyone get's to kno0w it or we have other chants that have been at the club for a long time we also sing.
You’ve gotta go to Anfield (LiverpoolFC) if you do come over, it’s legendary. Especially if it’s a European night (champions league)
British football fans are thee best in the world at this 👍🏻🇬🇧
The chants of the Brit football fans are so funny, so sarcastic!
Out now but I will give you some context later Guys:)
The 20,000 empty seats chant is being sung by Manchester United fans to are arch rivals Manchester City.
We were singing that jot long ago hahaha
Suuiii
"I'll give you a squeak"
Is that the start of a chant lol 😆
There's the songs club specific.
There's ones that all clubs sing similar.
And there's almost "formulas" to many chants. So , depending what's happening one person can start something / make up something new and it's pretty easy and quick for everyone to join in and know what we're singing.
More singing happens for away fans, if you're travelling and you're in like 3000 people away fans Only not 40000 Home fans... You gotta make a lot of noise. It's law.
I'd recommend Crystal Palace and Burnley for games to watch. Palace is amazing and Burnley, well; it's my club but some of the 'off the cuff' chants they come up with is on another level.
The Coloccini song is from Newcastle United fans at St James park he was our Argentina captain and yes he had curly hair he retired back to Argentina around 2016, look up Newcastle fans signing Bruno’s magic hat he’s our latest signing from Brazil, Newcastle is in north east England and the fans are some of the loudest in the country home or away. Up the Mags 🖤🤍🖤🤍 bye Calli 👍👏👏👏
