American Reacts to Funniest Football Chants in England

Back in the 70's (don't remember which game)The Arsenal requested no swearing in the match day programme (magazine). The chant 'we're not swearing anymore' went up. The visiting team rudely scored 1st, to which the natural chant was 'you're gonna to get your f'king heads kicked in' followed by 'swearing is back'. Never try to sanitize a tribe.

@michael fisher it’s very dismissive to say it’s “just hooliganism”. Football and it’s fans are something I’m very proud of as an Englishman. I think it’s one of our greatest national exports. Sure there’s bad language and it can get lively, but that’s all tied to passion for the club. And let’s be real: what’s a few swear words and some shouting going to do to you!? That’s part of the charm for many. There can be violence too, but in the vast majority of cases, British fans don’t turn to violence. It’s only when you look at the fans of some other clubs and realise that going away to somewhere like Juventus or Roma in the champions league and sitting in the wrong end can actually get you stabbed, that you realise British fans are pretty hospitable. They mainly only get in trouble overseas for drinking.

The noticeable difference between American ball games and British football is that American games are very family orientated and you can all go there for a good time. In the UK, you could at one time take them, but it's definitely not suitable for all family members. Great video. Extremely funny.

[@rockywaters9592]

This was great to watch because it shows how very different the UK and the US are when it comes to banter and humour, we're just darker in the UK, probably the reason why a lot of the more controversial US comedians have more success touring the UK than they do home. Good video! 👌

I remember being in the North Bank at Highbury back in the 80's when we played West Ham with Tony Cottee. The week before he'd been photographed coming out of a brothel and it was printed in the Sun. He denied doing anything and said that he went there with his mates and he just sat in the bar. Our keeper spooned a goal kick straight to him on the edge of the area, right in front of the North Bank. The keeper just stood there knowing he wasn't going to get there, as he lined up the empty net. The whole of the North Bank went silent and you could hear every fan draw in their breath as they knew how lethal he was in front of goal. He swung his leg, connected with the ball...and put the ball 5 yards over the crossbar. 2 seconds later all you could hear was a mass collective 'You couldn't score in a brothel! Score in a brothel!' The great ability of the British and football fans to think so fast on their feet and make a joke out of a situation.
