Saint_clark Posted 17 May, 2011 Share Posted 17 May, 2011 I was impressed by the noise Stevenage were making the other night particularly a tune they did which was very repetitive consisting mostly of la la la la (or summat like that). Much better than turning your back on the team, linking arms and bouncing up and down! That was nicked from some european team as well, I have no idea why Stevenage were doing it. Swansea are doing this tonight. Christ sake, really...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suewhistle Posted 17 May, 2011 Share Posted 17 May, 2011 Agreed. Mind you I'm still sorry we never picked up on "the wheels on the bus go round and round" in honour of Nigel, which is the ideal foootball song: repetitive, unique, simple --and most importantly, totally baffling to the opposition fans. I like it! It's something most Saints fans will understand, baffle the opposition and not embarassing at all: humorous in fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, i think it'd be really cool to sing that, Nigel would love it to and we can do it to show him how much we appreciate him and how funny his interviews are. Maybe next season we could have a themes fancy dress day as well with everyone dressing up as bus conductors to honour Nige? I think when opposition fans hear us singing it and then work out what it's about they'll be rolling round in the aisles with laughter at our wit and good humour.

The9 Posted 17 May, 2011 Share Posted 17 May, 2011 (edited) I agree, but I bet we won't be able to avoid any of this catching on next season: - Sloop John B (for everything, in various guises) - "I Just Can't Get Enough" - "Love Will Tear Us Apart" - Heartbeat theme tune And any other 80's song that has resurfaced over the past season. It's gonna happen, just got to decide the lyrics We've already been doing 1 recently (Plymouth was the "5hithole" in that case, I first heard it after Wales v England on March 26th on the train). As for "Saints will tear you apart, again", we started that one around the time of the 6-0 win at Oldham. I Just Can't Get Enough is crap, and I've never seen anyone do the Heartbeat song yet. We should just do what the Steaua fans were doing in 2003. Which seemed to involve a bloke with a megaphone and a lot of pitch-facing Poznaning. Then again, we can't even get the left and right actions going for Lallana... which is a lot less embarrassing than singing a kiddies' song in The Wheels On The Bus, FFS.

Crab Lungs Posted 17 May, 2011 Share Posted 17 May, 2011 I can't stand the Woolston Ferry song... it's so boring! There is a good post from someone in the general sports section about the Palace ultras though, which would be good. That said, what's the chances of our pikey element misinterpreting it and just using it as an excuse for something else..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintNeil90 Posted 17 May, 2011 Share Posted 17 May, 2011 It's a shame we haven't found suitable lyrics for 'The Saints are Coming' It's a great, repetitve song, and would be unique to us Agreed. Mind you I'm still sorry we never picked up on "the wheels on the bus go round and round" in honour of Nigel, which is the ideal foootball song: repetitive, unique, simple --and most importantly, totally baffling to the opposition fans. Its not really a chant friendly tune though is it. The repeat of 'the saints are coming, the saints are coming' over the sound system at SMS used to sound horrific!

Despite singing it on a number of occasions, I have to admit it just doesn't lend itself to football. It's a song about a ferry, and even according to the lyrics, not a very good ferry at that. Not fast, not built for comfort... and only really relevant to people from Sholing and Woolston. It's even a bit dismissive of Bitterne, so that's a chunk of support gone already. We need a stupid yet familiar tune to put some original but simple words to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this, the last thing we want to do is dismiss people from areas of Southampton and the surrounding areas. We shouldn't sing "I come from Southampton, the pride of the South" either because as pointed out on another thread, we have a large percentage of fans who come from outside of the city boundaries and this is dismissive of them. I think we should drop "OWTHSGMI" as well, Saints were catholics and surely this song alienates any believers of other religions in our fan base, some people, particularly C of E, Muslims and Jews might even find it offensive and we most definitely dont want to do that.

"i asked my mother" What about those children whose mother is no longer around for what ever reason? What about orphans? This song also promotes murder and the use of firearms, For one i hope the fathers gun is licenced and secondly no wonder there are so many wannabe gangsters with blaze attitudes to gun crime around when the use of firearms is percieved as cool inside football stadiums.

This Charming Man Posted 17 May, 2011 Share Posted 17 May, 2011 .... Doing the Lech Poznan goal celebration which Man City fans have adopted so well. I see Swansea fans are doing it tonight poorly and Celtic done it at the weekend. In all fairness, those Fenian C*nts were doing it well before Man City started doing it. Whilst it is gay, it does look impressive when an entire, full stand is doing it. I was right next to the Celtic fans at the last Old Firm and all of them were doing it at HT. Did look good.

True. And why does the kid need to ask someone anyway? Are we all stating that as children we were undecided in which team to support? The kid in the song must live somewhere inbetween here and Pompey for the song to be relevant. Probably in Fareham. So from now on this should only be sung by males from Fareham whose mothers were still alive at the time they needed to decide which team to support, and whose Dad's owned a gun.

What really concearns me about this song as it appears that the child is a victim of abuse from it parents/guardian. "wash your mouth out son (child)", what's all that about? Is he being bullied into supporting Southampton? Surely loving caring parents/guardians would present the evidence to their child for both scenarios of which team to support and enable them to make an informed decision for themselves, should such a decison need to be made of course.

Deppo Posted 17 May, 2011 Share Posted 17 May, 2011 I don't know. But I seem to vaguely remember they refused to celebrate because they conceded so regularly immediately after scoring. But this might be a lie. I remember about 5 minutes later they all suddently started cheering once the celebrations were over and the game had restarted and play resumed for a few minutes. Imagine orchestrating a whole crowd to stay absolutely silent and emotionless after a goal. That's very impressive. Though Arsenal have managed to do similar for decades.
