The 'we love you' song

That's what they call passion lad.

 

Also, I'm pretty sure it's far better "fan behaviour" than singing a Dave Clark Five song.

 

Would now also be a good time to point out that due to circumstance our current favourite fan chant is based on a crappy 1960's song about a bird called Marie waiting for someone in Texas ?

they jump up and down for about 30 seconds....then turn round all falling over each other laughing....

 

hillarious

I can take man city doing it as they saw that team do it at theirs...but leicester...ffs

 

I thought the whole point of "the Poznan" was to do it when your team was getting stuffed so you turn your back on the game. Just don't get the point of not looking at the pitch when you're celebrating.

If its the 'We love Southampton, we do' then its nothing new. We used to sing that at the Dell.

 

No it's not mate, it's a truly awful chant started by a truly awful club, st.pauli. I think Celtic started singing it then palace copied and now you've loads of clubs singing it

Wrong it was sung way back in the 60s at The Dell on the Milton terraces.

 

We do have the most miserable fans in the world - I think there are too many on here that care too much what

others think of them.

If you want to sing, sing, if you don't like the song don't sing it - I refuse to sing We are Top of the league as its sounds arrogant just my view don't give a sh1t if anyone else sings it.

Your macho ego won't get tarnished if you sing a naff song....honest.

the palace "ultras" were one of the most embarrassing things i've seen at a football game. About 20 blokes ruining their own atmosphere by banging a drum and singing about two songs all game.

 

No banter, no wit, no originality and laughable ****.

 

And to think there were some on here that wanted us to do that.... ****ing dins

This thread is far more cringeworthy than that chant.

 

I hope to god no other teams fans see this thread. Imagine what they would think. Imagine what they will say. Imagine the embarrassment. I care far too much of what other fans think!!....Oh wait, no I don't.

 

I have never heard this chant at one of our games, but I sure as hell will be joining in after reading this! The mental imagine of your faces fuming with anger will amuse me.

You're on about a completely different song.

The one thing i would say about the drum though is that at least it kept some of our songs in time so they lasted longer. Instead of the usual speeding it up to the point that only an epileptic seal on amphetamines can keep up.

haha yeah very true, I thought that. less need for the clapping as well. Could actually hear the songs at time and not just a load of clapping from the seals.

Thanks for the detailed explanation.....

 

What's there to explain ? Poznan fans didn't turn their backs because the team is playing badly, they turned their backs because it's a unique way of supporting their team. Or WAS a unique way of supporting their team.

 

 

FWIW they didn't do it at 2-1 up in the first leg (there's another video somewhere), but they are quite into their choreography generally :

For the record.

 

I got to football games to watch SOUTHAMPTON FC (although I admit I sometimes go to QPR and Charlton with good mates and choose to 'support' them for those games).

 

I choose to WATCH the game (not stand with my back to the game goading some neanderthal in-bred from another club).

 

I SING whatever the feck I like - I might even try an old Bucks Fizz number on Friday and see if we can get it going, maybe 'My Camera Never Lies'?

 

I applaud whomever and whenever I like.

 

And I don't give a flying feck what others think about this behaviour.

 

If you do, maybe you should be spending more time in TopShop and less at FOOTBALL grounds... sigh.

Haha best post in a long while. Sour mash, Charming man, Griffo take note. Oh and Turkish, if I fancy an over priced snack at a non traditional meal time, I will have one.

You're all a prime example of how terrace culture has been lost. Supporting your team used to be about being original, witty, getting one over on the team you are playing etc. Now you just want to sing the same songs as them because they're 'cool' and because you can do what you like. Even if the other set of fans are taking the p*ss out of you.

mixing up lots of eras

terrace culture was about kicking sh*t of each other flavoured with songs of hate

the witty banter bit came in when all seaters were introduced such as "wheres your caravan"

Both are ways of getting one up or over on the opposing set of fans. That's now been completely lost. We now just want to take our tops off and jump around to foreign songs that everyone else has taken and sung.

suggest you move to Block 20 of the Chapel where us old boys do are best to sing the good old songs, problem is were drowned out by the younger generation which is how it should be.

by the way getting the sh*t kicked out of you by the opposition was no joke

I have no problem with most of our songs, just this one.

The second video posted by The9 up above...how is that different to what a lot of you are complaining about? Someone on the tannoy "conducting" the fans is far more embarrassing than anything I've ever seen at SMS, and the clapping was far too fast for the chant.

Just a shame we can't get the Floating Bridge song to catch on and give us a unique song like Fields of Anfield and Bladon Races.

 

I just dread the top of the league song and "The Saints are going up" on Friday night when we get a lead, as the way Reading are playing it might just spur them on to shut us up.
