The 'we love you' song

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.

 

Lots on here seem to harbor fond memories of the Woolston Ferry chant - one to bring back perhaps?

 

EDIT: I now realise that's the one you were talking about. Looking at the words there's no f*cking way it'll work! Half of our fans can barely manage to sing OWTS properly.

A bunch of my footy mates have been singing it at pretty much every match they go to for about the last 5 years. So, hang around about 10 rows from the front of Block 42 if you fancy a bit of Woolston Ferry...

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.

 

I don't think there's any "right" way to support at football, and think anyone who thinks there is, is a mental.

We were once actually voted the most in-tune fans.

 

If you want to complain about anything, why not have a go at the blokes who sit near me who are plain and simply flat.

 

And the three behind them who are an octave too high or too low and always a least half a beat behind the main body.

 

And as for the tone deaf cretin three seats in front, he is the worst I've heard since they turned off auto-tune on a Cherly Cole recording and three bats came out of hibernation early...

I agree that the Palace ultra thing is cringeworthy but in fairness to Palace their atmosphere was so bad (I think) that something desperate had to be done. I remember seeing a six-pointer between them and Boro in towards the end of 1992-1993 (can't remember why I trekked all the way down there but I do live in London, maybe because Saints were also in the mix) and there was hardly any singing at all, just a bit of Glad All Over (and I think they sing the song as originally done, no adapting of the lyrics) and Eaaglllles at corners. Also, I reckon that their cachment area is full of Chelsea and Arsenal fans (saw a fella in an Arsenal shirt near the ground on Monday).

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.

 

I find it highly unlikely that LTC randomly applauds, I imagine he'll do it when a player does something worthy of applause - just like the vast majority of the ground does. I also find it highly unlikely that he sings Buck Fizz songs at the football, imagine he just joins in with the songs that everyone else is singing.

 

It was a nice attempt at a defiant post but in the end it just comes across as a load of hot air.

Griffo are you still writing your original chant; you are taking your time, is that because you are writing each letter in a different colour.
Right, so unless you're able to come up with a "witty/original" song, you're not allowed to state on a Saints fans forum that one of the songs being sung is pretty rubbish? Strange logic.

Yeah right cos that's what I said. He has spent the whole thread bemoaning this chant and that it is only sung by sheep who can't think of a witty or original song themselves. Do the maths Sour Mash.

 

Personally I can't see the difference between this song and hundreds of others, can anyone actually come up with a reason why it's so ****. Also when was this golden period of each club having there own songs and when terrace song smiths would knock outloads of great new chants per game.

You are quite right, but as at least one other poster on here will testify I sing the Nolans and Bee Gees...

 

But you are also plain WRONG. I applaud when I like. Say, for example, when Guly (totally misunderstood and maligned by some of the less football intelligencia) tracks back and wins the ball and most people sit on their hands, blind to his qualities...

 

Or when an opposition player scores a wonder goal which is worthy of appreciation whoever he plays for.

 

And I start signing when it suits me and if others join in great. If they don't I look a prat. But then, you're probably sat in a red and white shirt watching 22 grown men kick a plastic ball around and swearing at them for not kicking in to someone in the same coloured shirt as you.

 

So really, all this is a bit pathetic isn't it? ;)

When I was young I said to my mum, mother what shall I be?

Shall I be Pompey, shall I be Saints, here's what she said to me:

"Grab your biro Son, and write a number one

And teach them to sing as along

And support the SAINTS!"

 

We 'ate Lloyd Webber

We 'ate Lloyd Webber...

 

 

Tralala lalalalala

Tralala lalalalala

Tralala lalalalala

Who the f**k is singing now?

Please can someone enlighten me.

What am I allowed to sing at a football match??

 

 

I read all these posts from the 'super-elite' telling what we cant sing, but I dont see any list of 'approved' chants.

 

Be good if someone can help me out. Along with many others, I can no longer help make an atmosphere at games in case one of the chants upsets them.

 

 

ps. Have these 'super-elite' created any new song recently?

And here is a thought... is it a song without the 'F' word in it!!!

 

 

Can we see the 'approved' chant-list before Friday night please.

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"

 

Not so - the milton road singers were geeks in 80s

Give it a rest FFS. That joke isn't funny anymore.

 

Bloody hell, Big mouth strikes again! Fair enough, you've put me in my place, I know it's over.

 

It was fun while it lasted but heaven knows I'm miserable now.
