To Johann Sebastian Bach's: bourrée in e minor:

 

Che Adams has been quite disappointing and we had a bloke called Hoidt who loved his own face but now he's gone;

in his lace, however, we had a gentleman named Jannik Vestergaard who i'm sure is a very nice man but ultimately is not a brilliant defender;

(note: here we go into falsetto)

We've got Yoshida, he used to be 3rd or 4th choice but now is seemingly one of our better defenders and Bednarek is pretty good;

Bertrand is decent but probably disinterested at this point and Valery is yonug and shows promise which is problematic when on the bench for Danso who plays out of position;

(here, the Itchen break off into a lower octave)

Our centre midfield is our weakest area, every now and then James Ward-Prowse does something semi-decent with a set piece and that keeps him in the team;

Hojberg is weak and often throws himself to the ground and Romeu is average but people love him because he shaves his head and picks up a lot of yellow cardssssssssss

(here, we all join in together agin but the Kingsland take the tenor's harmony)

Up top he have a fair amount of talent in Ings and Boufal but not a lot of goals are produced as a result,

(then we all turn around and get our bums out)

but Redmond is ****ing fantastic!!!!

*clap clap clap

 

Thoughts?

Time to resurrect the acceptable song list for our return to the championship. Hopefully a lot of the premier league fans will have done one so we might have a bit more passion in the crowd this season.

Bring back Knock Knock,

as well as having Slow OWTS,

Wings of a sparrow arse of a crow,

Hello Hello we are southampton boys,

Southerners,

Sou-tham-pton  XX XXX,

Knees up mother brown,

EiEiEiO up the football league we go *if we start winning at least*

We are red we are white…,

Give me an S,

In Dublins fair city,

We hate Nottingham Forest,

Come on Saints you can beat this shit,

Come on you reds,

And it’s all Southampton,

Fathers Gun *sighs, automatic banishing if done straight at kick off*,

Southampton La La La,

Show them the way to go home *for when we’re beating rotherham united 6-0 at home*,

I see the itchen north arising *sounds good if slowed down,

Woolston Ferry,

We all follow Southampton,

Oh southampton we love you,

We all live at the back of the Itchen North,

Back in Southampton,

The Saints Song,

All we are saying is give us a goal,

We are southampton The pride of the south,

JWP Ned Flanders kumbaya,

Russel Martins red and white army,

Got a dream boy got a song

 

 

 

Sung most of these last season to little support. Some are questionable but pass imo. Definitely need more though, very bland. Many more but i’ve just forgotten.

Ones I haven’t heard but seem acceptable:

My old man said be a pompey fan,

Tommy Jenkins on the wing,

Who’s that team we call southampton,

His name is ronnie davies…,

Everywhere we go *? questionable, bit like going back to the scouting movement*

 

 

 

Unacceptable and automatic banishing:

Viva Onuachu,

Red and white barmy army,

Southampton FC Ok,

 Football in a library (if it’s towards away fans at least make it original unless it really isn’t funny),

We are Southampton we play down at the dell

to most we’re better known as just the saints 

we might not be one of the biggest club or liked by all the rest 

but one day you’ll see we will become the best

(think line 3 is right)

It’s ‘The Saints Song’ in my list. Just leave out the first division bit later on in the song 😂. It’s also on Apple Music/Spotify so easy to know.

Can we have an “Unacceptable Song List” too? Those songs were much funnier! 

What do you think of Tottenham/ pompey?,

Angus Gunn Baby Shark (with hand movements),

Viva Onuachu,

Djenepo Wonderwall song at bournemouth away,

Hes got a mars bar on his head at MK dons,

One more year JWP,

It’s the Southampton boys making all the noise,

Pompey get battered,

We’ll be running round pompey with our …… hanging out,

Football in a library,

Your support is f sh*t (sung after not joining in with any chants for 15 mins),

STEVVEEEEE,

I can’t read I can’t write (debatable for some of our strawberry growing friends),

Singing ‘Feed the scousers let them know it’s christmas time’ away at leicester in May a couple seasons ago when losing 4-1 😂😂,

Anything created by people on twitter, 

Tino Livramento to Come on Eileen (sounds good online, fits well, but in the ground sounds like a cat being strangled),

We never win at home and we never win away (that will get the player up for it!),

Woolston Ferry is the only acceptable option as every other team in the world has their own version of OWTS.

 

https://youtu.be/OemLggeF8PU

Don’t get why this comes up every now and then:

1/ it’s a song about a ferry that is now a bridge. Why no song about Ocean Village or the old Odeon in town?

2/ It’s fucking shit

It sounds good when everyone joins in. We sing it in the Itchen. Problem is only a select few ever join in. Woolston ferry with only about 10 people singing it sounds sh*t I grant you that.

"Everyone" is never going to "join in" because as above, no one cares and it's fucking shit.

Just a clever-clever idea that is never, ever going to be a "thing".

People were going on about "come on everyone let's make this our song" back in the days of the printed fanzines pre St Mary's, so more than 30 years ago. 

It's a bit of a shame we haven't got a Glad All Over or Mull of Kintyre or Annie's Song but Woolston Ferry is never ever going to be it.

And this is why I'm kind of glad our fans don't sing much, anyone uttering weird stuff like this deserve to be held upside down in a vat of warm marmalade and have their testicles removed with a blunt instrument. And die "howwibly, howwibly".

This is why a lot of opposition fans just point and laugh at our 'support'.

Was saying to the kids on Tuesday that our support is weird. We turn up in pretty big numbers but sometimes barely sing.

Minutes upon minutes of silence... FOOTBALL IN A LIBRARY, YOUR SUPPORT IS FCKN SH*T... silence from our fans once again. The irony is so strong and yet so unreceived.

How old are you then nipper ? Fucking newbie ! Fuck off 

No doubt old enough to be your dad you soppy fuckwit. It was never "belted out" at the Dell, just a very small bunch of 14 year old dinlos trying to act all aggressive and then singing about growing strawberries. What the fuck was that all about :lol:

I use to love going to that zoo and throw a fag at the smoking gorilla/monkey/ape or what ever it was.

I think it doesn't matter what songs we sing if it's to fast.

When OWTS is sung at slow/ normal speed it's loud, as soon as it gets faster fades straight away!

So after all these non-starters, I guess it's back to: "Pompey get battered"........or "Get your father's gun".......none of which the opposition fans understand.

Sheff Wed were singing some crap about Sheff Utd. Who cares? Still think a song that everyone knows like Hi Ho Silver Lining (Villa/Wolves) or Glad all Over (Palace) work well.
