Two quick things about football - your team is your team for life, regardless. And we learn the chants in pubs or catch them on the terraces and try to sing along. You have to come over and experience it!

[@AWhittle1978]

Same with both codes of rugby too, the annoying this is watching your sports and no one actually comes up with a decent chant lol

[@ruby_kai5838]

3:52 Sometimes. It depends on the size of the stadium and the amount of people chanting, but in smaller matches/stadiums it's often lot clearer than in larger matches/stadiums. However, a lot of the time certain "key words" are very clear. Love your vids so much JT!

[@ruby_kai5838]

Also when the camera zooms in on someone's face it's very easy to pick up on what they're saying. It's almost a game to see when a player or manager swears 😂

[@alanbayles1218]

Normally if you are watching a match on TV and you hear any "colourful" chanting, what normally follows is a tongue-in-cheek comment from the commentator basically apologising if they heard any offensive language 🤣

[@danielkallman8600]

And we in europe are not as sensitive to words as u americans are. U can show guns and gun shooting on tv but not say shit?

In Wales there is a lot of sheep farming. Sheep shagger is an English derogatory term for the Welsh, there are a couple of Welsh teams that play in the English league, these chants will be made when an English club is playing one of the Welsh teams.

[@thehonestcritic6577]

The Drum IS literally a drum which someone might bring to the game and is sort of used with the chants.

[@vincentryals2478]

The "USA, USA..."chant will have been to support an American playing for their team. There have been a steady number of guys coming over to play in Europe. John Harkes played for my team Sheffield Wednesday and was the first American to score at Wembley Stadium. More recently we had Frankie Simeck playing for us who got the USA chant which was done out of respect for him for his efforts on the pitch. He was well liked and appreciated.

[@alexbuckenham1663]

Tom Brady just bought a stake in Birmingham City and came to some games, I think it was for him.

Kids are born, and the first thing they see upon leaving that maternity ward is the history of our football club!

Were not actually allowed to take alcohol into the stands in the UK. Basically everyone is already pissed up from before the game, maybe run down at half time and grab a pint but you barely have any time before the game starts again to drink it. Look into football hooliganism in British football in the 70/80's, all this is mild to how it used to be.

[@MrTumshie]

It may seem like there are only a few tunes used for the chants, the words being all that changes, but that's far from true. The ones you refer to are probably the longer lived ones but most of the chants use tunes from non-football songs, usually tunes from the pop charts. The tunes that prove easiest to adapt are the ones that stick around and get used for many vastly different 'lyrics', giving the impression to the casual observer that the range of tunes used is limited when in reality the ingenuity and wit of the fans is far from being so limited. I'm glad that with the rise of the internet the chants are now being recorded for future fans to giggle and snigger over. I'd love to tell you about all the clever, witty chants and songs I've heard on the terraces and in the stands over the last 50+ years but sadly they have been forced from my memory by supposedly more important stuff. I'm also glad that you're continuing to entertain me with these videos. I sometimes think I enjoy them all the more when you have Anna with you but that should be taken as a compliment for her rather than any sort of slight against you- keep up the good work young man (and woman when she's there too)!

Unfortunately for a lot of us we're loyal to our teams, now matter how utterly dreadful we are. Take my team for example...poor poor Southend United. Relegated twice in a row with huge financial problems, in court I don't know how many times to be wound up and removed from existence, hanging for dear life for a while now but we'll probably cease to exist in a couple of weeks because we need a new owner but can't sell due to the debt with a new court date looming and no sale to be had. We're currently bottom of the 5th tier, docked 10 points for going into debt, only allowed 16 players due to our problems, no player signings allowed, an injury to any position means we can't really put out a team, and yet I'm still cheering every time we win something, score a goal or whatever...cos at any moment the team will no longer exist. It really is that close and memories of playing at the 2nd tier and beating Manchester United will be nothing more than that.
