We Brits are unrivalled in our wit to abuse anyone and anything at anytime. I remember being at a game when a goalkeeper called Andy Goram publicly announced he was suffering from schizophrenia. It was the day after and he was playing his first game since the announcement. He came out on to the field and we was chanting: Theres only 2 Andy Gorams, Theres only 2 Andy Gorams!!! RIP Andy Goram, you did Rangers proud!
We do this all the time … at school … in the office …. Soldiers … call welshmen, ‘Taffy’ after the river Taff. Irishmen are always, ‘Paddy’ … Scotsmen are always, ‘Jock’ …. Every school trip we always sing songs on the bus …
I watched my first compilation the other day of you absolutely INSANE lads doing this and I thought I was going to choke to death from laughter. Someone mentioned the chant when the crowd found out about Andy Goram's schizophrenia diagnosis. "There's only 2 Andy Gorams, There's only 2 Andy Gorams....." And that was the next game after it went public. I literally laughed for two hours at that! I LOVE UK 'football' hoodlum-isms. Well, at least when they aren't burning down a city somewhere like they used to. LOL
"Your teeth are offside, your teeth are offside, Luis Suarez, your teeth are offside." One of my favorites. Suarez had massive buck teeth and was notorious for biting other players.
@@tommywulfric9768 I think there's a sequel to this video that has both those chants. It might even have the racist Suarez chant too, which is one of the catchiest ones imo.
These are tame, but the reality is its banter. They bring insults and chants you bring better ones. Noone really gets upset about it, if they have a better chant, next time be better, be more brutal but be funny
Ok, Jimmy Savile. In America, you guys had Mister Rogers - wholesome, kind-hearted, Christian, full of hope and love. Here in Britain we had Jimmy Savile - incredibly creepy, eccentric wierdo who became a household name on TV, making kid's dreams come true and raising millions for charity. There were allegations about him but nothing stuck and then after he died the truth came out - it turns out he was one of the most evil and prolific paedophile monsters that ever walked the earth. HUNDREDS of victims: women, girls, boys, the disabled, the sick in hospital, even necrophilia with corpses in the hospital mortuary. He is now remembered as one of the worst predatory sex offenders in history, who hid in plain sight on our TV screens every week.

My favourite chant was when Swindon Town came to Elland Road in Leeds. Swindon were getting relegated, and the Leeds fans all shouted "Going down, going down, going down", and the 100 or so Swindon fans responded "So are we, so are we, so are we", caused a massive laugh and a round of applause from the Leeds fans.
In the 1980s there was a huge story about child sexual abuse in Middlesbrough near where I lived. Some doctors claiming they were seeing extensive cases in children. It turned out to be false but at Middlesbrough games we all got loads of abuse from visiting fans about being child molesters. I remember at one game after barrages of abuse it was announced over the tannoy that a young fan from the visiting team had gone missing. Seeing our chance for some payback the chant rang out from the Middlesbrough fans of "we've got him, we've got him" this instantly silenced the visiting fans......😊😅😂
Back in the day we all had to sing together every morning in school assembly up and down these islands. It was the same on the terraces. Some witty sod will come up with a few relevant lyrics and it will spread. We are used to it and a lot of the tunes are already known. Loved seeing your reaction

Johnson played for Sunderland (among others). The Stadium of Light is their stadium. He was sent to prison in 2016 for 6 years for grooming a 15-year-old girl. Sunderland's local rival is Newcastle United. (They wear black and white stripes and are the ones singing the chant.)

Entertaining reactions and I liked Jess's reference to needing therapy if she attended one of these matches. For most football fans though, the matches themselves are their therapy; letting off steam, singing at the top of their voices, enjoying the camaraderie and eliminating feelings of isolation. Football matches are hugely important for maintaining working class culture and traditions but also for mental health, especially for men. Long may the chants and singing continue.
It usually starts at games where Sky have moved the kick off day/time for broadcasting purposes. There's usually no consideration or respect shown towards travelling fans. It's a regular occurrence that games will involve a 600+ mile round trip starting at 3am or games finishing at times that means there's no way of getting home by public transport.

Sky TV chant us defo Leeds, we have bad blood with them, due to our fixtures been moved all over the place, so they can get max viewing figures. It interupts players training/rest schedules. And can see fans having to travel 250+ miles for a 12.30pm Sunday kick-off. MOT ( Marching on Together).
Leeds... one of the guardians of football, keeping the fun police at bay... some supporters... LEEDS ... ,if ordered about, go out of their way to do whatever they been told not to Not a Leeds fan, but I'm a fan of Leeds ❤
here's a chant for you, next time you Mrs comes out of the bathroom point at her & sing "she went for a sh_t, she went for a sh_t, my Mrs just went for a sh_t" 🤣
The reason Leeds fans hate Sky TV is that they keep rescheduling their fixtures for live TV coverage. Fans come from all over Europe to watch Leeds and have often arranged their travel and hotel accommodation months in advance to get the best prices. Only to have a late change that throws their plans into chaos. Sky approached Leeds to ask how they could improve their image and end the hostility with L:eeds fans. They were told the constant short term fixture changes were the problem. The following week Sky announced a series of short term fixture changes for Leeds so they are seen as not wanting a resolution and hence the hostility.
Oh Jess ! 😂 Your face is a picture. Taking the piss is our national sport and this video is Olympic level. If we're teasing you then all is well, if we are ultra polite then be very worried. Be great to see you guys over here 😃
The chant There's only 1 Ed Woodwood The guy had just been diagnosed with multiple personalities 😂 The plant pot is where the game was boring. I've seen the whole crowd sing about 1 guy eating a pie
AT LAST! After seeing 20+ reactions to this someone has FINALLY explained the Ed Woodward chant! Multiple personalities ...and why the deserted stadium when they sell out 75,000 capacity every week?
@Isleofskye unfortunately it's complete nonsense. I'd imagine it's just because he's disliked by man United fans, so the opposition were taunting them by singing his name.
14:00 This part was visiting fans singing at the stadium of a team called Kidderminster. They're a lower league team currently in the 5th tier of English football. It's less than 20 miles from the centre of Birmingham so not exactly a backwoods cousin marrying West Virginia kinda area. The chant is kinda harsh, but that's the nature of these things. And it is nice to hear the Addams Family theme used in a chant.
It would help to add that Kidderminster is abbreviated to Kiddie or Kiddy, as the term 'kiddies' can mean children, or back in 1970's it was interchangeable with 'youths'.
The collocini chant by Newcastle utd fans is by far the most hilarious chant I've ever heard at any sporting event anywhere, nothing comes close to that, it's such a shame its not on this vid. The Adam Johnson chant is sung by Newcastle fans because he played for Sunderland and got sent to prison for paedophilia, them and Newcastle are ferocious arch rivals. Newcastle fans make up hilarious chants.
I remember at Chelsea away game and they were singing 'if she don't come I'll tickle her bum', there was a couple of WPC's and they went so red and tried not to laugh, 😂😂.
'Nothing is safe at all' You're spot on, girl. And that's how it is on football stadiums. If people don't like it, i'll recommend linedance or baking. As a dane who grew up with british comedy in tv, all i can say is: i love it 😁 I like your reactions. Job well done 👌
Our very own Poundland Trump. And like Trump a narcissistic psychopath who's negligence during Covid led to tens of thousands of preventable deaths. It's apt that one's slang for a penis and the other's slang for a noxious emission from an arse.🤔
Was at an NHL game in Chicago a few weeks ago. Guy a few rows down was standing up and shouting “OFFENSE, YOU SUCK!” he got chucked out.. As a brit that’s been to loads of Football matches and well accustomed to profanity, I couldn’t believe it.
a detailed breakdown on the chants and how it happens for those who don't know or want to know so the tunes are melody that everyone knows, either nursery rhymes, songs we sang in primary school, iconic british songs or pop culture jingles like the Adams family or even just a tune from an advert that we all know and sometimes clubs will choose a song to play at a game and the fans pick it up and run with it or use another teams anthem against them changing the lyrics on the fly. At a game usually chants come up because of something in the news that's associated with the club or a player, (adam johnson) or a manager (fergie=alex ferguson), or jimmy saville who wasn't a player or a manager just someone we all collectively hate and use to express our displeasure for someone or something, so our chants can either praise a good thing/player or condemn a bad thing/player ect. so for chants made up on the spot they usually come out of nowhere started by one or two creative people in a crowd that starts chanting to a tune we all know like i said before, and because we know it people hear it and instantly understand the melody were running with, then the next bit is what's being said, if the things being said are relevant to what's happening on the news or in general or in the moment, then its just putting it together which happens almost instantly like a hive mind. when were all on board the noise builds up then its instantly clear and people can join in right away, ( its so well timed because most of us sang hymns in school and had to learn to be on time with everyone else and that ability never left us it just evolved) but honestly its just instant, our brains do it without much thought and usually the chant is something were all thinking anyway, so we all join in because we agree, chanting is truly the voice of our people and our viewpoint on things, if it was offhanded or out of place it wouldn't catch on and the person shouting would look stupid were british we hate looking stupid when prides involved, but if we agree then this is what happens
The Dick one was about a manager called Dirk Advocaat, nickname Dick.He was moving on from Sunderland FC and they were chanting Big Dick's Sunderland army... the we want our Dick back just serendipitous 😊 ❤ from Northeast England ❤️
No, it was about the inflatable penis that they were throwing around in the video which was retrieved and removed by a steward. After they sang "we want our dick back" for a while, the steward gave it back to the crowd.
@@oopsdidItypethatoutloud Dickie is known for his greedy attitude here in the Netherlands and his surname means Lawyer in English. He's at the moment the head coach of our Caribbean colony Curaçao. 😉
A more polite chant sung by the away supporters when the home supporters are very quiet (because the home team is losing or playing badly) is "Is this a library?" sung to the tune of "La Donna e Mobile".
This has been going on for 1,000vs of years in th UK. We used to sing before a battle to upset or unnerve the other army and the side would sing back. This is why we are so amazing singing together check out Green Day Hyde Park Bohiman Rhapsidy, mind blowing, for off the cuff.
"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.” ~ Bill Shankly
Kidderminster … a very rural area of England …. Football has an annual cup - a tournament played in by the highest and lower levels … sometimes a very low league club beats one club in the premier league …
Football is about getting up on a Saturday, going to the cafe for a breakfast, going to the pub, going to a game, having a laugh, taking the piss out of people, going back to the pub, getting a take away, eating it on the way home, then going to bed
adam johnson thing yes he did so what the best way to make sure everyone knows specially when it is on tv make sure everyone knows make sure he has the stigma where ever he goes , bit like a public jail for life.
I remember watching Liverpool v Leeds at Anfield in 1960's Gary Sprake the Leeds keeper fumbled the ball into the net. The Liverpool supporters on the Kop behind his goal immediately gave a rendition of Careless Hands which was in the charts.
Most of the chants use traditional tunes we all heard growing up, so its just based on someone starting it off with some new words using the meter of a well known traditional tune.
To fully understand English football Please react to Atherstone Shrovetide ball games Its the pre cursor to modern football explains alot about the mentality Basically back in the day when it was FIRST RECORDED ON PAPER IN THE EARLY 1100'S there was one rule The game was started in the town centre by local factory owners who all chipped-in/SPONSORED an entire sack of gold The reinforced sack was dropped in the middle of the town and a timer of 3 hours form memory was started At the end of time the person holding the sack of gold won the sack of gold Now here's where it gets interesting They had to introduce the no killing rule in the late 1800's along with no eye gouging This is the only rules to this day with the exception of the boundaries which is the main street in town only today Player can come close or 1000 in number and its better described as ROYAL RUMBLE crossed with something to do with a football My favourite part is watching the police watching the whole town fighting and looking so uncomfortable with it its hilarious 😂 Atherstone Shrovetide games Please Do not mix it up with Ashbourne They are different and similar Atherstone actually resembles rugby/American football While Ashbourne resembles football a bit more The football standardisation or association of football rules came from both however You see a similar mentality throughout English football from the fighting firms/hooligans to the crowd chants etc etc
There is also a different side to football in the UK, where people came together through terrible tradgey, we had the bradfors fire, in one of the stands, thats was engulfed in 4 miniutes, but the most notable is the hillsborough disaster, that 96 died, through police fault, wrong doing, probably the most recognised football anthem across the world, is liverpools, youll never walk alone, which became more meaningful after the 96, watch you will never walk alone, when liverpool went to australia to play fooball, it will give you chills, BEST YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE EVER!!!

It interupts players training/rest schedules. And can see fans having to travel 250+ miles for a 12.30pm Sunday kick-off. MOT ( Marching on Together).
Leeds... one of the guardians of football, keeping the fun police at bay... some supporters... LEEDS ... ,if ordered about, go out of their way to do whatever they been told not to
Not a Leeds fan, but I'm a fan of Leeds

Don’t test a British man’s vocal chords 😂 the range is insane 😂
here's a chant for you, next time you Mrs comes out of the bathroom point at her & sing "she went for a sh_t, she went for a sh_t, my Mrs just went for a sh_t" 🤣
and they say Music Hall is dead...
Every time Leeds United play live on Sky Sports, you will hear the Sky Sports chant. MOT
ALAW.
Leeds Leeds Leeds..
The reason Leeds fans hate Sky TV is that they keep rescheduling their fixtures for live TV coverage. Fans come from all over Europe to watch Leeds and have often arranged their travel and hotel accommodation months in advance to get the best prices. Only to have a late change that throws their plans into chaos. Sky approached Leeds to ask how they could improve their image and end the hostility with L:eeds fans. They were told the constant short term fixture changes were the problem. The following week Sky announced a series of short term fixture changes for Leeds so they are seen as not wanting a resolution and hence the hostility.
She’s saying it’s so bad but laughing her head off so it’s great really ha

Oh Jess ! 😂 Your face is a picture. Taking the piss is our national sport and this video is Olympic level. If we're teasing you then all is well, if we are ultra polite then be very worried. Be great to see you guys over here 😃
The chant
There's only 1 Ed Woodwood
The guy had just been diagnosed with multiple personalities 😂
The plant pot is where the game was boring. I've seen the whole crowd sing about 1 guy eating a pie
AT LAST! After seeing 20+ reactions to this someone has FINALLY explained the Ed Woodward chant!
Multiple personalities ...and why the deserted stadium when they sell out 75,000 capacity every week?

@Isleofskye unfortunately it's complete nonsense.
I'd imagine it's just because he's disliked by man United fans, so the opposition were taunting them by singing his name.

Well that's disappointing

14:00 This part was visiting fans singing at the stadium of a team called Kidderminster. They're a lower league team currently in the 5th tier of English football. It's less than 20 miles from the centre of Birmingham so not exactly a backwoods cousin marrying West Virginia kinda area. The chant is kinda harsh, but that's the nature of these things. And it is nice to hear the Addams Family theme used in a chant.
It would help to add that Kidderminster is abbreviated to Kiddie or Kiddy, as the term 'kiddies' can mean children, or back in 1970's it was interchangeable with 'youths'.
Football fans in England are the most serious and loyal fans on the planet, football is a way of life, a religion.
The English Football chants are the Best 😂😂😂😂😂
The collocini chant by Newcastle utd fans is by far the most hilarious chant I've ever heard at any sporting event anywhere, nothing comes close to that, it's such a shame its not on this vid.
The Adam Johnson chant is sung by Newcastle fans because he played for Sunderland and got sent to prison for paedophilia, them and Newcastle are ferocious arch rivals.
Newcastle fans make up hilarious chants.
I remember at Chelsea away game and they were singing 'if she don't come I'll tickle her bum', there was a couple of WPC's and they went so red and tried not to laugh, 😂😂.
That’s the celery song mate 😂

You're spot on, girl. And that's how it is on football stadiums. If people don't like it, i'll recommend linedance or baking.
As a dane who grew up with british comedy in tv, all i can say is: i love it 😁
I like your reactions. Job well done 👌
I went to a chant, and a game of football broke out
Boris Johnson was the Prime Minister at the time.....
Our very own Poundland Trump. And like Trump a narcissistic psychopath who's negligence during Covid led to tens of thousands of preventable deaths.
It's apt that one's slang for a penis and the other's slang for a noxious emission from an arse.🤔
Just some context, Adam Johnson was a Sunderland footballer who went to prison for 5 years I believe for grooming a child and then showed no remorse
Was at an NHL game in Chicago a few weeks ago. Guy a few rows down was standing up and shouting “OFFENSE, YOU SUCK!” he got chucked out.. As a brit that’s been to loads of Football matches and well accustomed to profanity, I couldn’t believe it.
You guys had me in tears 😂 love your reaction!
10:48 - A SLAPPER - An extremely loose woman (in every sense of that word).
a detailed breakdown on the chants and how it happens for those who don't know or want to know
so the tunes are melody that everyone knows, either nursery rhymes, songs we sang in primary school, iconic british songs or pop culture jingles like the Adams family or even just a tune from an advert that we all know and sometimes clubs will choose a song to play at a game and the fans pick it up and run with it or use another teams anthem against them changing the lyrics on the fly.
At a game usually chants come up because of something in the news that's associated with the club or a player, (adam johnson) or a manager (fergie=alex ferguson), or jimmy saville who wasn't a player or a manager just someone we all collectively hate and use to express our displeasure for someone or something, so our chants can either praise a good thing/player or condemn a bad thing/player ect.
so for chants made up on the spot they usually come out of nowhere started by one or two creative people in a crowd that starts chanting to a tune we all know like i said before, and because we know it people hear it and instantly understand the melody were running with, then the next bit is what's being said, if the things being said are relevant to what's happening on the news or in general or in the moment, then its just putting it together which happens almost instantly like a hive mind. when were all on board the noise builds up then its instantly clear and people can join in right away, ( its so well timed because most of us sang hymns in school and had to learn to be on time with everyone else and that ability never left us it just evolved)
but honestly its just instant, our brains do it without much thought and usually the chant is something were all thinking anyway, so we all join in because we agree, chanting is truly the voice of our people and our viewpoint on things, if it was offhanded or out of place it wouldn't catch on and the person shouting would look stupid were british we hate looking stupid when prides involved, but if we agree then this is what happens
This is the culture of British football fans , we make fun of the opposing fans but also ourselves. Some of the chants are genius 😂.
The Adam Johnson ones were just after he was convicted of being a nonce - they weren’t just accusing him for no reason
I no unnerstand you.What is nonse,pleasee?
@@IsleofskyeNonce - a sex offender, especially one who is guilty of sexual offences against children - a perfect description of Adam Johnson
@@Isleofskyesex offender.
@@Isleofskye someone who sleeps with minors
Adam Johnson was a player for Sunderland, got caught with a 15 year old (I believe she was). Stadium of Light is the stadium Sunderland plays in.
I was not expecting wrestling lingo in terms of footie chants - what a pleasant surprise!
The Dick one was about a manager called Dirk Advocaat, nickname Dick.He was moving on from Sunderland FC and they were chanting Big Dick's Sunderland army... the we want our Dick back just serendipitous 😊
❤ from Northeast England ❤️
No, it was about the inflatable penis that they were throwing around in the video which was retrieved and removed by a steward. After they sang "we want our dick back" for a while, the steward gave it back to the crowd.
His name is actually Dick. Dirk is Dirk Kuyt the former player from Liverpool.

That's it... my memory... getting old😢
@@oopsdidItypethatoutloud Dickie is known for his greedy attitude here in the Netherlands and his surname means Lawyer in English. He's at the moment the head coach of our Caribbean colony Curaçao. 😉
Our Football chants are tribal, we all instantly know the words.....I can't explain it. 😂😂😂
A more polite chant sung by the away supporters when the home supporters are very quiet (because the home team is losing or playing badly) is "Is this a library?" sung to the tune of "La Donna e Mobile".
"Lets all wave at fatty" 😂😂😂😂 My personal favourite. I would like for England to play the US in America and the english sing this song.
This has been going on for 1,000vs of years in th UK. We used to sing before a battle to upset or unnerve the other army and the side would sing back. This is why we are so amazing singing together check out Green Day Hyde Park Bohiman Rhapsidy, mind blowing, for off the cuff.

Kidderminster … a very rural area of England …. Football has an annual cup - a tournament played in by the highest and lower levels … sometimes a very low league club beats one club in the premier league …
Football is about getting up on a Saturday, going to the cafe for a breakfast, going to the pub, going to a game, having a laugh, taking the piss out of people, going back to the pub, getting a take away, eating it on the way home, then going to bed
Her: "This is awful" Him: This is hilarious :D
She wants her dick back.
adam johnson thing yes he did so what the best way to make sure everyone knows specially when it is on tv make sure everyone knows make sure he has the stigma where ever he goes , bit like a public jail for life.
I feel sorry for poor Jess her face says it's all awesome video guys I liked and subscribed 💙
May I recommend watch Freddie Starr doing his Vincent routine. Absolutely brilliant English comedian from the 70's
Absolutely hilarious routine 🤣🤣
I’m pretty sure I saw that as a kid, but came across it again a few months back when someone reacted to it, absolutely loved it, so good
and Freddie doing Ray Charles on here,as well:)
I work at football matches and football fans can be both humorous and absolutely brutal at the same time.
Boris for England... the steward down by the pitch has hair very similar to former Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
I remember watching Liverpool v Leeds at Anfield in 1960's Gary Sprake the Leeds keeper fumbled the ball into the net. The Liverpool supporters on the Kop behind his goal immediately gave a rendition of Careless Hands which was in the charts.
in europe and other countries were football is played the fans are separated, so its common to see one stand chanting to the away stand
The "shes homeless" song is gypsy woman, a classic house song of the late 80s
I don’t like football but I love the chants and have spent a lot of my life turning everything into a chant 😂
I quite like the “you’re going home in a Fuckin Ambulance “ with an aggressive finger pointing out said people 😂
Most of the chants use traditional tunes we all heard growing up, so its just based on someone starting it off with some new words using the meter of a well known traditional tune.
great clip, great reaction you guys have a great vibe i love the intro
I've been to football matches with a few people from your side of the Atlantic. They've loved every minute.

To fully understand English football
Please react to
Atherstone Shrovetide ball games
Its the pre cursor to modern football explains alot about the mentality
Basically back in the day when it was FIRST RECORDED ON PAPER
IN THE EARLY 1100'S
there was one rule
The game was started in the town centre by local factory owners who all chipped-in/SPONSORED an entire sack of gold
The reinforced sack was dropped in the middle of the town and a timer of 3 hours form memory was started
At the end of time the person holding the sack of gold won the sack of gold
Now here's where it gets interesting
They had to introduce the no killing rule in the late 1800's along with no eye gouging
This is the only rules to this day with the exception of the boundaries which is the main street in town only today
Player can come close or 1000 in number and its better described as
ROYAL RUMBLE crossed with something to do with a football
My favourite part is watching the police watching the whole town fighting and looking so uncomfortable with it its hilarious 😂
Atherstone Shrovetide games
Please
Do not mix it up with Ashbourne
They are different and similar
Atherstone actually resembles rugby/American football
While Ashbourne resembles football a bit more
The football standardisation or association of football rules came from both however
You see a similar mentality throughout English football from the fighting firms/hooligans to the crowd chants etc etc
There is also a different side to football in the UK, where people came together through terrible tradgey, we had the bradfors fire, in one of the stands, thats was engulfed in 4 miniutes, but the most notable is the hillsborough disaster, that 96 died, through police fault, wrong doing, probably the most recognised football anthem across the world, is liverpools, youll never walk alone, which became more meaningful after the 96,
watch you will never walk alone, when liverpool went to australia to play fooball, it will give you chills,
BEST YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE EVER!!!
You scouse bastard
Awesome. Pure genius. Much love from England.
