Brilliant, cruel but very funny.

It was Andy Goram, the Rangers goalkeeper. He pulled out of the Scottish squad as he felt he wasn't ' mentally attuned ' and it was reported in the press he had schizophrenia. Richard Gough has a VERY different chant about him 🙁🤨

[@charlietwotimes]

I think the main difference culturally is that football fans in the UK & Europe see their clubs as an integral part of the community, something that belongs to them. In the US professional sports are franchise product that can be relocated. There's no real community connection for a lot of them.

Yes, Joel, football chants are both amusing and cutting across Europe and S America. Whilst living in the US with my, then, two kids, I also found the boys' verbal jousting with both pitchers and batters very humorous. My then 10-yr old even coached his teammates on how to use satire! 😅⚾️+🥍

Yes! The player was Jason Lee. He was given a lot of stick on Fantasy Football League back in the 1990s by Frank Skinner and David Baddiel. It started with the chant by Forest fans but then there was footage of some of his “unfortunate finishing”. It became a bit of a weekly feature.

[@paulharvey9149]

You're right about pubs, Joel, but only on special occasions - they have to be careful they don't lose their licences. Many years ago, in a Central London pub on New Year's Eve, for example, it got to the stage, "WE ARE GOING, WE ARE GOING, WE ARE GOING TO THE BOG! WE ARE GOING TO THE BOG!" - all to the tune of "Cwm Rhondda". (It was downstairs, and the queue started upstairs - so it was a bit congested...)!

Speaking of only spending a day in Manchester, the chant about Balotelli in Moss Side that is in Manchester. You mentioned how most of the chants are to the same tune, that tunes has been used for decades. It’s the best tune for a football chant!! These chants had me laughing!! I’m also glad you’ve realised that one day in many of the places you visited is not enough to really see anything much at all.

[@cargumdeu]

I think they were more musical in the past. My favourite is hearing the Stoke fans singing 'Delilah'. The desire of British fans to break out into song is even more noticeable among Welsh rugby fans. Some of their singing is spine-chilling.

[@GavHTFC]

At 8:10 that Bradford chant gets even better when you consider that Bradford at this point were 2 **divisions** below Chelsea. It was an FA Cup game where anyone can play anyone, Chelsea went 2-0 up, the result was a formality, and then the gods intervened.

[@peterfoakes7569]

Some of the chants you need to know a story its based on, the 'Baloteli' chant about a wallet full of cash, is refering to him paying for other peoples petrol at a station

[@Redeyejedi98]

[@MrSinclairn]

Didn't you do one of these footie chant reaction vids,last year,Joel,always nice to revisit ! 😉

[@Phaerion]

Celtic and germanic tribes also threw chants and insults at their enemies before a battle. It's comparable with the maori haka and scottisch fighters making insults and lifting their kilts. Celtic women and children even went to the battlefield to cheer for their husbands/fathers and fire them up during a battle. It's one of these ancient traditions that survived into modern times.

[@Yankee-Football]

A simple one to the ABBA tune, Knowing me Knowing you....(You know what's coming right?) "Knowing me knowing you....KA KAaaaaaa..." City did not sign him, shame. One other was when Alan Ball was managing City so... Oasis. "After all, your my Alan Baalll alllll." Brilliant (I'm Man U fan)

Getting to go to a main football club game of male players is very difficult to get tickets for, you might have to liaise with someone who is a member of the club and can apply for tickets when they go on sale online and wait in an online queue for them. Also, they aren't cheap, expect to pay anything between £50 and £100 or more per ticket depending on the club and who they are playing. 🙈😅 the women's football however is about £5, you can buy an individual ticket days before and the last one I went to for the Toon Army (Newcastle) women's there were 22,000 fans turned up for the lasses and there were still a few chants due to half the crowd being men still 👍🏼
