SKD Posted 4 March, 2016 Posted 4 March, 2016 It's been awful for a while now.. We always seem to take decent numbers, but the atmosphere is flat. We only seem to sing 2 songs (OWTS and WTFILN). Heard a group of young lads at half time trying to get one going for Cedric to the tune of She Electric - Oasis and Romeu to the tune of La Bamba (a little less original, but catchy nevertheless) So... Suggestions of any new songs below (not just a rehash of what every other clubs sings) and help get these on the terraces!
lickierambert Posted 4 March, 2016 Posted 4 March, 2016 To be fair, the games away from home have been dull as anything this season. 11 goals scored and 13 conceded in 14 games and I'd say only 2 games (Chelsea and Newcastle) have been anything close to interesting In fact I'd say this is the most dull season since 2005-2006
gr00031 Posted 4 March, 2016 Posted 4 March, 2016 The lads who were trying to sing the Cedric song were doing it constantly for around 15 minutes away at Arsenal. Think it's safe to say everyone else nearby was getting annoyed by their constant repeating of the song (well I was anyway)
SKD Posted 4 March, 2016 Author Posted 4 March, 2016 I must admit, I did think it would be too many syllables for our fanbase
The Cat Posted 4 March, 2016 Posted 4 March, 2016 The VVD song to Achey Breaky Heart on Tuesday was almost worse than the performance.
Griffo Posted 4 March, 2016 Posted 4 March, 2016 The VVD song to Achey Breaky Heart on Tuesday was almost worse than the performance. Thanks for reminding me of that. F*cking awful rip off. Our away support is the worst it's ever been in my memory. Nothing will change either, a huge percentage of our travelling support stand there and have no interest in making any noise whatsoever. The sooner we get relegated the better.
Saints foreva Posted 4 March, 2016 Posted 4 March, 2016 The VVD song to Achey Breaky Heart on Tuesday was almost worse than the performance. I think this one has come from block 39.
Griffo Posted 4 March, 2016 Posted 4 March, 2016 I think this one has come from block 39. It's come from West Ham, and was original-ish. Then Arsenal copied it for Ozil and have been laughed at for it.. And now look, Saints have copied it which is even worse.

Griffo Posted 4 March, 2016 Posted 4 March, 2016 Don't Newcastle fans chant something to the same tune as well? Don't take me home, please don't take me home I think it goes. Celtic, Hull and Cardiff have sung something similar too.
Appy Posted 4 March, 2016 Posted 4 March, 2016 Don't Newcastle fans chant something to the same tune as well? Don't take me home, please don't take me home I think it goes. They sung it for Cabaye a few years ago.
Sour Mash Posted 4 March, 2016 Posted 4 March, 2016 Our away support is s***e. Good numbers, but very quiet.
Appy Posted 4 March, 2016 Posted 4 March, 2016 Our away support is s***e. Good numbers, but very quiet. Yep, too many day trippers, support at Old Trafford was alright, but that's all I can remember of late.
adrian lord Posted 4 March, 2016 Posted 4 March, 2016 Odd really. In the good ol' days the away mob were the loudest and hardest of the hard.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 4 March, 2016 Posted 4 March, 2016 Are there rules away fans have to follow? Perhaps they could be printed on the back of the tickets or a pamphlet handed out on supporter etiquette
Golden Balls Posted 4 March, 2016 Posted 4 March, 2016 Yep, too many day trippers, support at Old Trafford was alright, but that's all I can remember of late. Was with a united season ticket holder on Wednesday night. He said we're the loudest they've had at the ground this season and we were the loudest last season. So the others must have been terrible.
The Cat Posted 4 March, 2016 Posted 4 March, 2016 Chelsea was good but it should be when you're 3-1 up. Would have been great with the full allocation.
Goatboy Posted 4 March, 2016 Posted 4 March, 2016 Is our away 'suport' better than the OP's spelling?

Nothing will change either, a huge percentage of our travelling support stand there and have no interest in making any noise whatsoever. The sooner we get relegated the better. Usually i agree with things your posts but that just isn't true, in the late 90s when we struggled to take more than three hundred north of Birmingham and our support in London for games that weren't relegation deciders was made up of very quiet families, we were far worse than we are now. The Championship and League One improved our support no end - home and away - but now we're an established Premier League side again a lot of the support has changed and like ever Prem side it's getting worse year on year.

Pat from Poole Posted 4 March, 2016 Posted 4 March, 2016 Not making excuses for the fans, but sometimes it helps if the games are really entertaining, and / or if Saints are playing really high-tempo aggressive football. We'll tend to do that more at home games than away games. I also think the lack of tackling does little for the atmos. Many a time this season, I've thought that if a neutral were watching a Saints game, they would have been utterly bored. However, I don't blame Koeman, I'd far rather we were hard to beat than a pushover.

The prices and availability for some games are the biggest factor if you compare our support to our lower league years.

mrfahaji Posted 5 March, 2016 Posted 5 March, 2016 Even though I'm usually quite disparaging about our ability to come up with good songs, I've heard the "Tadic to Graziano" (Pilot - Magic) before and that's pretty good. Obviously it's difficult to use that when they're not playing though...!

Golden Balls Posted 5 March, 2016 Posted 5 March, 2016 We didn't come up with it. For one Leicester were singing it about Cambiasso long before we started. And Newcastle were singing it way before that.
The Cat Posted 5 March, 2016 Posted 5 March, 2016 Sunderland deserved to concede that last gasp goal for singing Achey Breaky Heart for 10 minutes non stop.
