Turkish Posted 10 April, 2012 Posted 10 April, 2012 I assume he used the wrong kind of facepaint and it wouldn't come off ? one of my giant foam hands got stuck to my arse when i was wiping it and Griffo had to pull it off.
The9 Posted 10 April, 2012 Posted 10 April, 2012 one of my giant foam hands got stuck to my arse when i was wiping it and Griffo had to pull it off. And what did you do about the foam hand?
Thedelldays Posted 10 April, 2012 Posted 10 April, 2012 one of my giant foam hands got stuck to my arse when i was wiping it and Griffo had to pull it off. just seen a pic of you at Bloomfield Rd....proper fan
Turkish Posted 10 April, 2012 Posted 10 April, 2012 And what did you do about the foam hand? Still there.
Turkish Posted 10 April, 2012 Posted 10 April, 2012 just seen a pic of you at Bloomfield Rd....proper fan That was me, trying to get the "I love you" song started. FFS.
Turkish Posted 10 April, 2012 Posted 10 April, 2012 Look at the f*cking idiots. That's what they call passion lad. Especially the one on 40 seconds with the sheepskin collar on his coat.
The9 Posted 10 April, 2012 Posted 10 April, 2012 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 ?
Thedelldays Posted 10 April, 2012 Posted 10 April, 2012 That's what they call passion lad. . is this griffo......? at the barnsley game..supporting Lee...????
Griffo Posted 10 April, 2012 Author Posted 10 April, 2012 is this griffo......? at the barnsley game..supporting Lee...???? No.
Turkish Posted 10 April, 2012 Posted 10 April, 2012 is this griffo......? at the barnsley game..supporting Lee...???? nah, thats This Charming Man.
anothersaintinsouthsea Posted 10 April, 2012 Posted 10 April, 2012 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.

Dan Posted 10 April, 2012 Posted 10 April, 2012 The "we love you" song is pathetic. As for the the crystal palace ultras, cringe.
This Charming Man Posted 10 April, 2012 Posted 10 April, 2012 nah, thats This Charming Man. I had to go undercover as part of my campaign to rid SMS of them. Thankfully Lee is out for the season so we shouldn't be seeing them again until next season and by then I'll be ready for them.
anothersaintinsouthsea Posted 10 April, 2012 Posted 10 April, 2012 You are incorrect. Thanks for the detailed explanation.....
SaintNeil90 Posted 10 April, 2012 Posted 10 April, 2012 If its the 'We love Southampton, we do' then its nothing new. We used to sing that at the Dell.
Griffo Posted 10 April, 2012 Author Posted 10 April, 2012 If its the 'We love Southampton, we do' then its nothing new. We used to sing that at the Dell.
Stevie B Posted 10 April, 2012 Posted 10 April, 2012 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
View From The Top Posted 10 April, 2012 Posted 10 April, 2012 If its the 'We love Southampton, we do' then its nothing new. We used to sing that at the Dell. Totally different song mate. The Palace one is some plastic-ultra's European boll ocks.
Give it to Ron Posted 10 April, 2012 Posted 10 April, 2012 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.
ericb Posted 10 April, 2012 Posted 10 April, 2012 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
Golden Balls Posted 10 April, 2012 Posted 10 April, 2012 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.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 10 April, 2012 Posted 10 April, 2012 If I hear it I will definitely join in. Not because I like it but just to annoy the mongs on this thread.

ericb Posted 10 April, 2012 Posted 10 April, 2012 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.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 10 April, 2012 Posted 10 April, 2012 We follow we follow we follow, cause that's the way we like it we like it we like it whoooooaaaa whhhhoooooaaa etc.

Could actually hear the songs at time and not just a load of clapping from the seals.
The Majestic Channon Posted 10 April, 2012 Posted 10 April, 2012 Such a **** chant. I despise that sh ite
The9 Posted 10 April, 2012 Posted 10 April, 2012 (edited) 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 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=Xg543B31tSQ Edited 10 April, 2012 by The9
los_saint Posted 10 April, 2012 Posted 10 April, 2012 I still have no understanding of what this thread is about.
Legod Third Coming Posted 10 April, 2012 Posted 10 April, 2012 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.

kpturner Posted 10 April, 2012 Posted 10 April, 2012 Compared to the "Cortese" chant (and the old Pahars and Shipperley songs), this "we love you" song is f**king awseome. End of!

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.
Griffo Posted 10 April, 2012 Author Posted 10 April, 2012 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.

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.

I have no problem with most of our songs, just this one.
70's Mike Posted 10 April, 2012 Posted 10 April, 2012 I am aware of that. I have no problem with most of our songs, just this one. actually i agree with you about the song but if the young fans want to sing it then so be it, if it booms round SMSon friday when we are 3 up i might even join in now how does it go...........
Appy Posted 10 April, 2012 Posted 10 April, 2012 Look at the f*cking idiots. "You should have seen it with 2500 palace jumping up and down. MENTAL!" No I really shouldn't

Saint_clark Posted 10 April, 2012 Posted 10 April, 2012 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.
John Boy Saint Posted 10 April, 2012 Posted 10 April, 2012 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.
