The Cat Posted 2 November, 2011 Posted 2 November, 2011 "we're the Northam, we're the Kingsland" etc. f**king stupid song. Worst part is all the mongs clapping the other stand when they join in. Looking at the state of their faces its amazing some of them can actually form a clap. I really hate that one too although it's slightly amusing when the Itchen join in but get ignored.
shurlock Posted 2 November, 2011 Posted 2 November, 2011 I really hate that one too although it's slightly amusing when the Itchen join in but get ignored. Itchen North was singing "we don't give a f**k about you", though it was probably ignored as well. Itchen doesn't usually get loved up in the same way the mongs in the Northam and Kingsland do. Happier to have the away supporters for company

We so need blocks 1-3 open to sort out the atmosphere. That way everyone that moans about the Northam can move over into the Itchen and start different songs. Sort it out Saints, get the Itchen/Notham corner open again.
DJ_TOAST Posted 2 November, 2011 Posted 2 November, 2011 This thread giving me great laugh at work, helping with the hangover. top stuff!
Mowgli Posted 2 November, 2011 Posted 2 November, 2011 Singing is just plain stupid. We should sit there in silence and allow the players to concentrate on their game. Polite applause after a goal should last for no more than 15 seconds. And don't get me started on people who stand up to celebrate.... Actually even the cringeworthy songs make me smile most of the time (we are Southampton we're taking the p*ss is just asking for trouble though....)

Actually even the cringeworthy songs make me smile most of the time (we are Southampton we're taking the p*ss is just asking for trouble though....) Last night (I think it was after Lambert made their defender fall over in the box) we had a 'top of the league' and a 'taking the p*ss' chant going at the same time. It ended up sounding like 'we are Southampton, we're top of the p*ss' I liked it.
PaulSaint Posted 2 November, 2011 Posted 2 November, 2011 I dont get the goalie chant that goes "whooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa you skate barst4rd!!!" when the guy has never played for them or wasnt born in Portsm0uth. Cant we just go back to "your sh1t aaaaarrrgghhhhh"?
doddisalegend Posted 2 November, 2011 Posted 2 November, 2011 I dont get the goalie chant that goes "whooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa you skate barst4rd!!!" when the guy has never played for them or wasnt born in Portsm0uth. Cant we just go back to "your sh1t aaaaarrrgghhhhh"? I believe it's "fat bastard!!" not "skate Bastard!!" though as none of the keepers are usual that rotund your point stands...
ltSaint91 Posted 2 November, 2011 Posted 2 November, 2011 My god you lot are boring. We're five points clear at the top of the league and playing some of the best football Southampton has ever seen, yet you're moaning on an Internet forum about a few fun, light-hearted chants. Get a life you miserable old man.
Mowgli Posted 2 November, 2011 Posted 2 November, 2011 I believe it's "fat bastard!!" not "skate Bastard!!" though as none of the keepers are usual that rotund your point stands... Actually last night it was 'You Fat Wotsit'
sussexsaint Posted 2 November, 2011 Posted 2 November, 2011 The worst thing I ever sung was ' Harry and Jims Red and White Army' , I know I've said it before but it makes me shudder in retrospect
Gambol2K9 Posted 2 November, 2011 Posted 2 November, 2011 I think some ppl take it all a bit too seriously. The game went flat so the crowd were messing about to amuse themselves. It was funny.
Prince Jazzbo Posted 2 November, 2011 Posted 2 November, 2011 I prefer to twirl my rattle and wave my flat cap when we score.
Sour Mash Posted 2 November, 2011 Posted 2 November, 2011 I think some ppl take it all a bit too seriously. The game went flat so the crowd were messing about to amuse themselves. It was funny. What was funny about it?
um pahars Posted 2 November, 2011 Posted 2 November, 2011 What was funny about it? Richard, Dan, Richard, Dean, Jos, Jose, Richard. That's really funny aint it!!!!! There's been some godd chants and banter at SMS and other grounds, but first names in a strange voice is not up there with them.
70's Mike Posted 2 November, 2011 Posted 2 November, 2011 in the 70's Ipswich would chant we are superior to which are response was Mother Superior Brighton seagulls us seaweed then there was whose that lying on the runway
Rasiak-9- Posted 2 November, 2011 Posted 2 November, 2011 How about we stop chanting "come on you reds" like a bunch of spastics and simply replace "reds" with saints? Especially when we're playing against teams like Forest or Man Utd
Barry the Badger Posted 2 November, 2011 Posted 2 November, 2011 Richard, Dan, Richard, Dean, Jos, Jose, Richard. That's really funny aint it!!!!! There's been some godd chants and banter at SMS and other grounds, but first names in a strange voice is not up there with them. Oh god. Really? You want to have it explained. People found it funny because it was a response to the Steeeeeve chants, banter aimed at those who had been shouting steeeeeve. You may not find it funny, but quite a lot of people did and what harm does that do exactly?
The Kraken Posted 2 November, 2011 Posted 2 November, 2011 in the 70's Ipswich would chant we are superior to which are response was Mother Superior Brighton seagulls us seaweed then there was whose that lying on the runway Yeah that one was hilarious, wasn't it?
JRM Posted 2 November, 2011 Posted 2 November, 2011 Yeah that one was hilarious, wasn't it? About as funny as man uniteds songs about hillsborough. Barry is right the shouting of players names was hilarious, my ribs are still hurting from laughing so much.
dune Posted 2 November, 2011 Posted 2 November, 2011 About as funny as man uniteds songs about hillsborough. Barry is right the shouting of players names was hilarious, my ribs are still hurting from laughing so much. I disagree about the runway song. I've been up to Leeds several times with Leeds supporting mates and it's a good crack in their pubs before the games when the whole pub sings it.
shurlock Posted 2 November, 2011 Posted 2 November, 2011 I disagree about the runway song. I've been up to Leeds several times with Leeds supporting mates and it's a good crack in their pubs before the games when the whole pub sings it. Yeh as funny as millwall's song about turks carrying knives...
hamster Posted 2 November, 2011 Posted 2 November, 2011 I thought "Steeeeeeeve" was cringetastic, but then we hit new levels with "Dan, Jose, Richard". As well as being dinlotastic It also put us off our prawn sandwiches up in corporate. That's better. How'd it go?
Badger Posted 2 November, 2011 Posted 2 November, 2011 Yeh as funny as millwall's song about turks carrying knives... Not heard that, care to share it with us ?
um pahars Posted 3 November, 2011 Posted 3 November, 2011 Not heard that, care to share it with us ? "Always look out for Turks carrying knives" to e Life Of Brian look on the bright side of life tune. A not very impressive reference to the attacks on Leeds fans in Istanbul.
um pahars Posted 3 November, 2011 Posted 3 November, 2011 That's better. How'd it go? There were a couple of late changes to the plan (I ended up in my normal seat!!), but not as exciting as last year's match, but still 3 points which is the name of the game!!!

About as funny as man uniteds songs about hillsborough. Barry is right the shouting of players names was hilarious, my ribs are still hurting from laughing so much. Didnt manyoo get b*llocked recently for singing about some leeds fans who had just been killed? Dont remember the details, but it wasnt long ago. And yes, they do always sing about the "hillsborough orphans", plus whenever they play at anfield they make a point of carrying copies of the Sun.
scotty Posted 3 November, 2011 Posted 3 November, 2011 ....incidentally, I thought the "who the f*ck are barcelona" one on tuesday was quite funny.
Wes Tender Posted 3 November, 2011 Posted 3 November, 2011 Oh god. Really? You want to have it explained. People found it funny because it was a response to the Steeeeeve chants, banter aimed at those who had been shouting steeeeeve. You may not find it funny, but quite a lot of people did and what harm does that do exactly? Barry, I think "funny" was the wrong word. IMO the correct word was "amusing". The Northam chanted it because it amused them during a period when the game went flat. I see nothing wrong with that and it is nothing that anybody can really criticise without them being labelled as petty-minded killjoys. Each to their own. What people do at matches is their own business, unless there are genuine reasons why it shouldn't be allowed. These chants didn't even contain any bad swearing, whereas many of the chants do which would be deemed cool by the very people who are critical of the name chants. There are far better grounds to objecting to those chants because they are offensive to many, whereas these name chants only seem to offend on grounds that they are "cringeworthy." Some posters who object to the name chants ought to get a degree of balance.
Victor Posted 3 November, 2011 Posted 3 November, 2011 "Who needs cantona when weve got matt le tiss". Awesome. Too right! Some people say Shakespeare wrote that but I reckon it was that bloke Bacon. Or was it a ham?
edprice1984 Posted 3 November, 2011 Posted 3 November, 2011 Saints v Utd in the FA Cup 3rd round (under the dutch duo)...For some reason the Northam started singing You'll never walk alone in reference to Liverpool being top of the league at the time. United fans responded with 'Who the f*** do you support? and that ended that!
The9 Posted 3 November, 2011 Posted 3 November, 2011 There's 2 good De Ridder songs straight away that are by far and away better than "STEEEEVE" Na na, na na na na, hey, Steve De Ridder Or Ooh Steve De Ridder, He is a winger, He's f*cking class, Puts mayo on his chips but when he runs he's f*cking fast, And when he gets the ball he'll put your left back on their arse, Ooh Steve De Ridder Or is that too complicated for you absolute wet lettuces in block 42? The problem with the latter is that we'll have to keep adding lines to it, and De Ridder just doesn't have as interesting a life as Mario Balotelli. Citeh fans are up to about 9 lines for him now, only one of which mentions that he's a footballer. Maybe if Steeeeeeeeeve sets fire to his house or something.
saintbag Posted 3 November, 2011 Posted 3 November, 2011 ''How about we stop chanting "come on you reds" like a bunch of spastics and simply replace "reds" with saints? Especially when we're playing against teams like Forest or Man Utd '' - posted by Rasiak 9 I suggested that last season Rasiak 9 (although not using the words you have) when we used that chant on numerous occasions away from home when we were playing in black and the oppostion in red. I was told to get a life by the more intelligent contributors to this board. Come on you Saints sounds better and is more relevant but I was told we have been chanting it for 50 years or so, so it musn't change.

If it didn't happen last season when we wore basically white, it isn't going to happen. We played at St Mary's against a couple of teams who wore red and STILL sang it - same thing happened away to Orient who wore all red. I think "come on you reds" against teams in red is probably up there on the stupid list. A similar thing happens at away games when we change kit but don't actually have a yellow away kit, most of the people who start songs don't seem able to think of other alternatives to saying "yellows" a lot, for some reason.

Its simply painful. Its the most bland, boring and repetitive chant ever. I remember taking a few mates of mine to the game at home to Leeds a couple of years ago (we won 1-0 with Harding scoring) and bloody hell it was all that we ever sang that day! We didn't even get OWTS going once that game! (trust me, I remember it clearly). The aforementioned mates are all big four armchair fans and I was hoping to show them that the spirit and support of a team like Southampton is what gives me the pleasure that I and my fellow Saints fans get out of football - unique and funny chants are vital to that and neutering the identity and spirit of "THE SAINTS" to simply - "hurrblurr - the reds, the team playing in red...blablabla etc." is just ...urgh. I hate it. I personally sing "COME ON YOU SAINTS" whilst all around me are singing reds regardless, in the hope that it'll catch on...but alas..."COYR" still rings out from the stands even when (as you say) we play in all white with little more than a red sash across the shirt.

Like singing "i'm forever blowing bubbles" when we played Millwall. Why??!!
Stoozer Posted 5 November, 2011 Posted 5 November, 2011 I dislike the "Whoooo?" chant when the opposing team make a sub.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 5 November, 2011 Posted 5 November, 2011 It never ceases to irritant me when mongs sing that. In some ways even more idiotic that screaming peoples first names. Like singing "i'm forever blowing bubbles" when we played Millwall. Why??!! Just like when other fans think it's hilarious to sing 'play up pompey' to us.
