Do you know what? You’re right - I really hate a lot of what was chanted, and I’m sure there are cleverer ones out there - but you’ve entirely changed my mind about this whole thing, our mouthiness is part of who and what we are!

Jimmy Saville was a British television presenter for the national broadcaster, the BBC. He presented a show called Jim'll Fix It where he 'fixed it' for kids who wrote in to do something they always wanted to do like meet their sports heroes or whatever. After his death many, many people came out and said that he used his position to abuse them. He went to hospitals and was grossly inappropriate with vulnerable people there. He was generally just a despicable person. There are documentaries about it and it was horrible. The BBC knew about it and helped cover it up at the time. It was a national scandal. So he rightly gets a lot of stick for being a nonce, and is used as a comparison for other abusers and paedophiles.
Or drinking or pretty much anything that gets us hyped I really don’t know where the stereotype of us being polite or well mannered came from we’re sarcastic and nuts but I love it
Our teams all come from towns cities even villages so you grow up supporting them , they aren’t franchise teams , so they are part of the community , or they used to be . So it used to be that you supported you home town , and you stuck with them win or loose .
I think there's a version of this where the guy explains the references, which might help you guys. Also no this isn't just one group of people, this is all British football fans, the chants are to well known (and often repeatedly used) songs so everyone already knows the tunes. Then someone at the game will start a new version (or may also begin in the pub beforehand) and there's usually a simple repeated rhyme that everyone can quite quickly pick up and sing to the already known tune. Don't forget most of these guys (and girls) have been going to watch the football with their dads since they were kids. ETA: the players hear this stuff every week, that's why they normally aren't phased
England and GB has been in more wars through the last 1000 yrs then any other country in the world and you are surprised that we can be aggressive! 😁😂🤣 Tbh that isn't aggressive that's just friendly banter.

just love how you guys enjoyed watching the football culture we have, it is madness at times but thats what makes it soo special, this beautiful game makes us together but also makes us divided come match day... long live football, the beautiful game, the chants and fans are what makes it memorable
Best chant i heard was in Newcastle's ground when the tannoy announcer put out a call for a guy to meet his wife ( who had got lost in the ground) at the back of the stand. Within seconds the whole crowd were singing " home with the shopping, you're going home with the shopping" to the tune of " juan ta la Mera".
5:02 Sky TV is part of the Murdoch just like Fox News. They scheduled match days on weekdays and early Sundays so many couldn't attend live and had to purchase the matches from.. you guessed it, Sky TV.

Years ago Liverpool had players by the names of Dieter Hamman, Steve Finnan, Sylvan Distan and Djimi Traore. The latter scored an amazing own goal by backheeling it on the spin into his own net under absolutely no pressure(its on youtube) Anyway Liverpool fans came up with an amazingly clever chant to the tune of Blame it on the Boogie which went sth like: Don't blame it on Distan Don't blame it on Finnan Don't blame it on Hamman Blame it on Traore.

Football is woven into British cultire and its very tribalistic. Your Football team almost becomes part of your identity. For the most part, people will follow football teams from their own city or follow on from who their Dad supports. There's a saying that you can chamge your wife but you cant change your football team. Chants whilst aggressive on the surface are all part of fan culture and it's expected on both sides, it's rare in the modern era that it spills out into the physical. Lots of chants to happen off the cuff and they're notoriously funny, especially if it ends up with back and forth between the home and away fans. This dynamic happens a lot because of large away fan attendances because of the close geographical proximity of football teams in England. Generally you're no more than 50-150 miles away from your furthest opponents with a lot being within 50 miles. Obviously in the US the distances are so vast for that away support isn't really a thing.
11:01 That's one of those clubs that go up and down in the league system. Relegated one year, promoted next year, relegated again and so on. These have been relegated from Championship to League 1 so they sing that they go on a a league 1 tour and will probably be back in Championship again.
Jimmy Saville, TV personality, was a notorious sex offender. Adam Johnson, former player, is a convicted sex offender. There are better compilations imo.
I live in Fife, which if you look at a map of Scotland is to the north of Edinburgh shaped a bit like a dogs head. We have 3.main football teams (although that's pushing the term main to its limits). Now while I played rugby, I'm aware if some of the chants about the rival teams. There is a fairly rundown town (sadly, as a lot of the people and some of the areas in it are nice) called Cowdenbeath. It's near a town called Lochgelly. The chant is to the tune of the Addams Family TV show and goes .. They're dirty and they're smelly They haven't got a telly (TV) They come from near Lochgelly The Cowden family. The other classic is to Always Look on the Bright Side of Life from Monty Python.. . You all live on the shite side of Fife Da dum, da dum da dum da dum 😂 😂😂
I’m from Dublin and support St Patrick’s Athletic, from the south side o& the city. When we play Bohemians from the north side of the city the Pats fans sing “ always look on the northside for shite” to the Monty Python song.
And when it comes to cricket we have the fabulous Barmy Army. A great bunch of English supporters who follow their team to Australia and have a song for every occasion. They add great atmosphere to every game. Wouldn't be the same without them.
Football chants started from when football first started people would sing hymns. Thats why the tune sounds familiar, we sing these songs often to the tune of a hymn or a nursery ryhme haha so you wete correct this is the evolution of the nutsury ryhme lol
Remember that loads of fans travel to and from the matches together, home games and of course the bevvies (booze) before the game before every game Home or Away. 👍🇬🇧

No it wasnt. That was my fans, the Birmingham city fans having a pop at the Blythe Spartan goalkeeper. I know coz I watched our highlights after the game. We managed to just scrape a win at 2 - 3 . But we was down 2 - 0 at half time. At the end, he turned and clapped us all. We clapped him back for being a good sport and shouted "we're only taking the piss"
Bill Shankly Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.
@@EarlJohn61 I know. It's quite spoilt budgies and men in tight swimwear for me! (SO tempted to say "Who's a pretty boy then?" when seeing the latter!)
As said before, football is who you are, your born into the team you support, good or bad, its said that football is a matter of life and death, its more than that But we support out teams, through good and bad times, ups and downs, Not just for the men, there are plenty women just as passionate as the men, But one thing for a female at football, whether with her friend or solo she is the safest person in the stadium, , she can enjoy the football and the chants, as well as 20.000 securty guards around her. Known as football fans females are protected at all cost,
A normal match any weekend …. This is why the new American owners want the premiership clubs to play matches in America … although you’ll all need counselling, probably … Swansea is a Welsh side where lonely sheep farmers get fond of their flock, allegedly…. Kiddy family …. Rural Kidderminster team where there isn’t a lot to do …. There was a manager called Dick Advocaat ….. hence the trophy inflatable …
Me and my mate Susan would go to all the home games of Liverpool. We'd find hot dogs and pie crust in our hoods and spit and gravy in our hair. The men would look out for us. We felt safe.
You basically got it right - one or two friends start a chant and everyone else either joins in or doesn't. And most of the chants are to the same tune or rythem.
We know how to chant and join in because of singing in school and because chants are always done to famous songs. You know the tune so you just quickly fit the words in. The chants about people being pedos and Jimmy etc are not just messing around. The people they use allegations against have actually done very bad things. The rest of the time we are pissing about. Yes some of this is heard on TV haha (Sky is a huge company from the US isn't it? They charge us too much for everything.)
I am so happy to see you enjoying the creativity of my countrymen, we take it as a point of pride to be as hurtful as possible. We are trained as children
The reason why most of the fans instantly know the chants and the pauses for the claps etc is because they are normally taken from well known songs for instance the "we've got Boris Johnson" chant is do the tune of "glad all over" by I think it was the Dave Clark 5.
@@rwolves Yes, The Dave Clark 5 also had hits with "Bits'n'Pieces" & "Can't You See That She's Mine", "Catch Us If You Can", "Everybody Knows", "The Red Balloon", "Good Old Rock 'n' Roll", but "Glad All Over" was their first.

So he rightly gets a lot of stick for being a nonce, and is used as a comparison for other abusers and paedophiles.
Thanks for the context, didn't know who he was and wasn't sure I wanted to google his name.
You forgot to mention he was from Leeds and the fans doing the chants were Leeds United fans
I mean it was worse than that. Think the UK version of Epstein. Helping other powerful people also abuse children
you missed out that he also interfered with the dead too, including his mothers corpse. there was over 500 victims in total.

In the uk it’s just classed as a laugh … if you can’t take don’t be there , it just British humour
The humour is everything! The language and themes are pretty harsh but the wit and creativity make them fabulous!
Not aggressive - just all good fun!
Jimmy Saville, TV personality, was a notorious sex offender. Adam Johnson, former player, is a convicted sex offender. There are better compilations imo.
Came here to say this. Also the Boris one was because the security guard looked like Boris Johnson former prime minister of UK.
Who asked?
There's nothing even remotely aggressive about any of these ffs, it's just good natured, light hearted banter.
Nah, that's not true.
@@Muzakman37yes it is 😂 you just don’t get it you Americans get so offended by everything it’s hilarious
I live in Fife, which if you look at a map of Scotland is to the north of Edinburgh shaped a bit like a dogs head. We have 3.main football teams (although that's pushing the term main to its limits). Now while I played rugby, I'm aware if some of the chants about the rival teams. There is a fairly rundown town (sadly, as a lot of the people and some of the areas in it are nice) called Cowdenbeath. It's near a town called Lochgelly. The chant is to the tune of the Addams Family TV show and goes ..
They're dirty and they're smelly
They haven't got a telly (TV)
They come from near Lochgelly
The Cowden family.
The other classic is to Always Look on the Bright Side of Life from Monty Python.. .
You all live on the shite side of Fife
Da dum, da dum da dum da dum 😂
😂😂
@@AndyRobertson-m5r 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
I’m from Dublin and support St Patrick’s Athletic, from the south side o& the city. When we play Bohemians from the north side of the city the Pats fans sing “ always look on the northside for shite” to the Monty Python song.
Small world :) I'm close to both those places
Football or soccer as you Americans call it is extremely tribal , rivalry amongst supporters can be brutal, but also extremely funny.
There is nothing aggressive in those chants, it's just a fun :))
And when it comes to cricket we have the fabulous Barmy Army. A great bunch of English supporters who follow their team to Australia and have a song for every occasion. They add great atmosphere to every game. Wouldn't be the same without them.
The cricket can be just as funny when the fielders get close to the stands 😂
I am in my 8th decade i London and hoped you liked this gentle introduction to THe Beautiful Game:)
Football chants started from when football first started people would sing hymns. Thats why the tune sounds familiar, we sing these songs often to the tune of a hymn or a nursery ryhme haha so you wete correct this is the evolution of the nutsury ryhme lol
Most chants are sung to the tune of well known songs.
Tbh not that aggressive, you want to hear how we can talk to our besties and work colleagues
Remember that loads of fans travel to and from the matches together, home games and of course the bevvies (booze) before the game before every game
Home or Away. 👍🇬🇧
Thanks for that. It was hilarious. Please do another one. You two are just as funny.
Phew, they only explored the polite chants.
Ohhhh there’s more???? We need to see them’
@@JohnReavesLive
The bad ones are banned but you can find the "Park" one and the "Adebayor" one, hehe.
@@JohnReavesLivethere's way more
@@darthwiizius Park one: Park, Park wherever you may be, you eat dog in your home country, could be worse, could be scouse, eating rats in your council house
Adebayor: Adebayor, Adebayor, his dad washes elephants and his mom's a whore
@@JohnReavesLivetheres way way more…
They don’t need marching bands at half time. They make their own amusement 😂😂
Football chants over here are like a sort of unedited social commentry. Rhe MSM may put it more ' delicately ' but there's nothing so savage as a football crowd. They say it as it is. God forbid you stand up to go to the loo and have an unfortunate haircut 🤣🤣
Ha-ha! Are we just fantastic or what?
Its bloody good banter!
The fans who are calling the Goalkeeper at 6:53 is their own Goalkeeper.
I did wonder, thought it quite likely 😂
Didn't know that and I have seen this video multiple times.
No fucking ways😂😂😂😂😂😂 why would they do that
No it wasnt. That was my fans, the Birmingham city fans having a pop at the Blythe Spartan goalkeeper. I know coz I watched our highlights after the game. We managed to just scrape a win at 2 - 3 . But we was down 2 - 0 at half time.
At the end, he turned and clapped us all. We clapped him back for being a good sport and shouted "we're only taking the piss"
I wouldn’t have thought so. At my local the teens stand behind the opposing goalie and chant the same thing
i dont think the woke pc brigade will stop these chants because the fans would ignore them😂😂😂😂😂
We are the PC brigade. Just because we sing at football doesn’t mean we’re bellends outside the ground.
Boris chant is referring to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
Mezit ozil his eyes are offside was another one.
Great British football fans chants react video - most of the chants in other countries are even worse than that😂
Bill Shankly
Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.
Never a truer word said. He came from the same Scottish mining area as my dad. A Legend
He made the people happy!
the chants work like magic, when you're in the crowd you just know the words and there's no explanation for it!
Budgie - a tiny Australian parakeet that's very popular as a pet in the UK.
From which Australians get that a Man's swimsuit might be used for smuggling Budgies : *Budgie Smugglers*
@@EarlJohn61 I know. It's quite spoilt budgies and men in tight swimwear for me! (SO tempted to say "Who's a pretty boy then?" when seeing the latter!)
The tune for Adam Johnston was originally a song called Cum On Feel The Noize by British band Slade
American athletes would need therapy after a english crowd.
😂😂😂
As you can tell, there is no malice in the chants, it's all goofy banter 😁
I grew up in pubs and honestly match days were fucking hilarious
makes me crease when sky tv catches some strays 🤣🤣🤣 no one is safe to the chants
As said before, football is who you are, your born into the team you support, good or bad, its said that football is a matter of life and death, its more than that
But we support out teams, through good and bad times, ups and downs,
Not just for the men, there are plenty women just as passionate as the men, But one thing for a female at football, whether with her friend or solo
she is the safest person in the stadium, , she can enjoy the football and the chants, as well as 20.000 securty guards around her. Known as football fans
females are protected at all cost,
The SkyTV chants are right. LET THE UK WATCH FOOTBALL!
A normal match any weekend …. This is why the new American owners want the premiership clubs to play matches in America … although you’ll all need counselling, probably … Swansea is a Welsh side where lonely sheep farmers get fond of their flock, allegedly…. Kiddy family …. Rural Kidderminster team where there isn’t a lot to do …. There was a manager called Dick Advocaat ….. hence the trophy inflatable …
Me and my mate Susan would go to all the home games of Liverpool. We'd find hot dogs and pie crust in our hoods and spit and gravy in our hair. The men would look out for us. We felt safe.
You are still to evolve! patience lads.
What about “ PARK PARK WHEVEVER YOU HAVE BEEN, YOU EAT DOGS IN YOUR COUNTRY, COULD BE WORSE COULD BE SCOUSE, EATING RATS IN YOUR COUNCIL HOUSE
You basically got it right - one or two friends start a chant and everyone else either joins in or doesn't. And most of the chants are to the same tune or rythem.
Oh by the way, it’s FOOTBALL not SOCCER.
Great video lads.
Football chants are complete banter. Also, dont look up jimmy saville 🤦🏽♀️🤣
And don't friend him on Facebook!
@@scottaskew8408don't think they have Facebook in hell
Yeah, lots of our chants are set to well known songs… always witty, top banter, core part of our culture, we love it
We know how to chant and join in because of singing in school and because chants are always done to famous songs. You know the tune so you just quickly fit the words in.
The chants about people being pedos and Jimmy etc are not just messing around. The people they use allegations against have actually done very bad things.
The rest of the time we are pissing about.
Yes some of this is heard on TV haha (Sky is a huge company from the US isn't it? They charge us too much for everything.)
Oh God, that was funny. Can’t beat the crack in a football crowd. 😂
Have you seen the chants from the Ryder Cup ?
"There's only one Molinari"
Rory McElroy playing Stewart Cink - "He's got more hair than you"
Love your reactions guys 😂
Yes a small group, one comes up with it, they practice on the bus and infects the large crowd, using familiar tunes and chants.
Green Street was utterly woeful! Frodo Baggins as a hoolie? Do me a favour!
Adam Johnson did go to prison
I am so happy to see you enjoying the creativity of my countrymen, we take it as a point of pride to be as hurtful as possible. We are trained as children
UK football fans are a bit.......erm.......different. You can see why we are not allowed guns.
I like that you find the chants funny without always knowing the context. It just proves that it's just silly fun/banter.
And you DAAARE saying Soccer......well well well... :)
Don’t be a snowflake bab. 😁
NFL shouldn't be called "football".....it should be called "hand-egg"
Chants from English stadiums are fire, no other country comes close!
The reason why most of the fans instantly know the chants and the pauses for the claps etc is because they are normally taken from well known songs for instance the "we've got Boris Johnson" chant is do the tune of "glad all over" by I think it was the Dave Clark 5.
Correct, I'm old enough to have heard it sung by the original artists on the telly & radio.
@Lazmanarus I don't quite remember it as only 37 but an all time classic. Was I right on the band though?
@@rwolves Yes, The Dave Clark 5 also had hits with "Bits'n'Pieces" & "Can't You See That She's Mine", "Catch Us If You Can", "Everybody Knows", "The Red Balloon", "Good Old Rock 'n' Roll", but "Glad All Over" was their first.
Love your reaction
litrally just british energy same thing happens in school with kids
We had a great chant in school it was funny that none of the teachers at first realized what we were singing
@@irenecaird6688 impromptu class sing along were ours, like stopped the lesson entirely and wouldn't shut up until we were done
Yanks will never challenge the British humour
I’ve now discovered, as a Brit who lives in America, you really have to know our British culture to understand any of this, we may speak the same language but the US and UK are so different and so separated, Americans have no clue 😭🤣
Really enjoyed your laughing dude 😂
