Our away suport

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!

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

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

That's why I said in my memory. Since I've been going.

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.

Said the other day the football is boring and once we do concede we don't come back from that.

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

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...!

We didn't come up with it. For one Leicester were singing it about Cambiasso long before we started.
