Football crowds chant Football chants. In Europe, Latin America, Africa, Asia & Australia, fans spend the match shouting at the players, enemy fans, the referee and the world in general. They can encourage the team, slight the opposing, or make noise. They aid fan joy and atmosphere, and are essential to football culture, as seen in English, Scottish, German and Dutch football.

The chants vary from simple and repeating to topical and complex, from traditional to vulgar. Simple but proud is the Brazilian chant sung by fans at the World Cup: "Eu sou brasileiro, com muito orgulho, com muito amor" (I'm Brazilian, with a lot of pride, with a lot of love). Vulgar or antagony unacceptable outside a stadium are tolerated, except racism. In England, fans are prosecuted for racism.^[1]

They are also terrace chants, a terrace being standing areas in football grounds used until the 1990s in top-level football and now on a small scale in some countries and lower league where crowds and stands are smaller.

The simplest is naming the team many times with clapping between. "United" (clap-clap-clap). "United" (clap-clap-clap). Without competition, chants are nothing. Enemy fans respond by shouting slurs while clapping.

Common is clap, clap, clap-clap-clap, clap-clap-clap-clap, followed by a two-syllable football team name or nickname.

Also common for an ahead team is the score repeated "two nil, two nil, two nil, two nil", when a team scored, chanted to Amazing Grace.

Famed is the Olé from bullfighting. A bullfighter engages the bull with a capote. The crowd olés in approval. It is popular in Latin America, Spain, Portugal and Italy, and pronounced 'allez, allez' in France. When a fan team is winning, 'Olé' is chanted each time one of their players touches the ball.

A common Italian chant would by the hymm to Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes. Po Popopopopo Po (and repeated several times.) In Italian football, it is also common to sing the home team (or supporting team's) name followed by a closing words or sounds. For example, Juventus fans would chant: JUVE JUVE HAAAA while Inter fans sing the chorus to "Pazza Inter" by singing AMALA, PAZZA INTER, AMALA.

Used to aid players, "One [Joseph Bloggs], there's only one [Joseph Bloggs]" (or whoever) is sung to Guantanamera. When an England squad included two players called Gary Stevens the chant became "Two Gary Stevens, there's only two Gary Stevens". English side Brighton and Hove Albion and their "two Kerry Mayos" came from the player, Kerry Mayo having a wife Kerry, hence two Kerry Mayos, proving chants, while player-related, include the non-player. After 1995, Arsenal fans chanted "Two Ian Wrights, there's only two Ian Wrights", for their signing Luís Boa Morte who looked like Wright. Chicago Fire fans used it for striker Chad Barrett, who looked like Wayne Rooney). Rangers goalkeeper Andy Goram was diagnosed as schizophrenic, Celtic fans chanted, "Two Andy Gorams, there's only two Andy Gorams". Another sung to the same tune is "Sing when you're winning, you only sing when you're winning", and (when an easy shot or a penalty misses) "Score in a brothel, you couldn't score in a brothel".

Another to the tune of Go West (Pet Shop Boys) is "More noise in a library, more noise in a library", sung by loud away fans to quiet home fans. The tune "Blue Moon" is sung for the chant "Ten men, we've only got ten men" (when a team scores or plays well without a man) or "Twelve men, you've only got twelve men" (when the referee favors a team like a 12th man). Any chants can be sung to the name of any player.

The Gap Band's "Oops Upside Your Head" was adapted by Celtic's hardline supporters as "Ooh! Aah! Up the 'RA! Say ooh ah up the 'RA!"; 'RA is the IRA. This was turned by Republic of Ireland fans into "Ooh! Aah! Paul McGrath!" (the "th" in McGrath being silent), by Leeds United fans into "Ooh! Aah! Cantona!". When Frenchman Cantona was sold to Manchester United, opposing fans sang "Ou est Cantona?". Another came in Australia after Perth Glory signed former Socceroo Stan Lazaridis. "We've got Stan the Man! Yeah we've got Stan the Man". It was common used in the 1980s, when football violence was commoner, to threaten enemy support. 'You'll get a boot wrapped 'round your head, you'll get a boot wrapped 'round your head'.

The Duran Duran song Rio was used for Rio Ferdinand. In 2002, fan Simon Le Bon (Duran Duran's lead singer) swore to perform a football chant if the team won.

The Domenico Modugno song Volare was sung for players Patrick Vieira, Tiago and John Terry.

The song "Go West" by the Village People (covered by the Pet Shop Boys) gives the melody for the common chant "You're shit, and you know you are" and more, including "How high do you want the goal?" when a player shoots over the bar, and "One nil, to the Arsenal" (which famed the use of "Go West" in English football), "Go West Bromwich Albion" and "Posh Spice takes it up the arse", famed when Victoria Beckham used it in her autobiography to show the less-than-warm welcome shown to her by fans of her husband's team, Manchester United. Jeff Beck's "Hi-Ho Silver Lining" won popularity with Rushden & Diamonds and Wolverhampton Wanderers fans, to the lyrics "and its Hi Ho Rushden Diamonds (or Wolverhampton)", sang the same as the pop song but replaced "Because its obvious" with "F*** the Cobblers (or other local rivals)".

Another is the hymn Guide Me O Thou Great Redeemer which goes "Bread of heaven, bread of heaven, feed me now and ever more! Feed me now and ever more". The famous warping is "You're not singing, you're not singing, you're not singing any more! You're not singing any more!" sung when enemy fans stop chanting, and concede a goal. Victoria Beckham bore the brunt when Manchester United played at Arsenal, the Arsenal fans sung, "Does she take it, does she take it, does she take it up the Arsenal? Does she take it up the Arsenal?"

One sung at clubs is to the chorus of The Wild Rover. "And it's Queen's Park Rangers. Clap. Clap. Clap. Clap. Queen's Park Rangers FC are by far the greatest team the world has ever seen."

Many had the tune of a hymn when sung before matches in the turn of the 20th century. "Abide With Me" still sings before the FA Cup Final. Popular at Arsenal in the 70s and 80s for Liam Brady was "Brady, Brady, Brady, Brady, born is the King of Highbury". Pop music tends to be short-lived, except "Go West" and "Winter Wonderland" and the Beatles.

The team with the First Imperial Keeper sings "England's number one, England England number one" now sung by Tottenham, who sung "Englands number nine" (to the same tune) when Paul Robinson (the goalkeeper) scored a goal against Watford.

In the first year of the Australian A-League, the Melbourne Victory fans had a "Kitzbichler" chant aimed at the Austrian midfielder Richard Kitzbichler, sung to "Tequila", with the crowd singing "do do do do do do, do do", and shouting "KITZBICHLER!".

More examples:

• "Who's the bastard in the black?" (meaning the referee. There are some variations to this, such as Celtic's "Who's the Mason in the black?")
• "Can we play you every week?" (a particular favourite among supporters in the Isles of Scilly League which has only two teams and who play each other 20 times or so during the course of a season)
• "Are you X in disguise?" (where X is a weak or a rival team. For example England fans use Scotland as X) However in an ironic twist, after a famous shock victory over England, the song "Are you England in disguise" has been used by fans of the minnows of Northern Ireland in following up with shock victories over Spain and Sweden.
• "Ahh! You're shit!" Used whenever a member of the opposing team misses a shot or makes an error giving the ball to the supporter's team.
• "You're supposed to be at home" (when the away team supporters are being more vocal in their support than those of the home team) as well as the obverse of this coin, "You should have come in a taxi" or "Is that all you take away?" sung when the away supporters are few in numbers.
• "My garden shed" (used by away supporters to insult the size of the host ground - My garden shed/Is bigger than this/My garden shed/Is bigger than this/It's got a door and a window/My garden shed/Is bigger than this). A poor side playing in an attractive stadium may be greeted by the simpler chant of "Nice ground, shit team", to the tune of the Pompey Chimes.
• Another popular chant to the tune of the Pompey chimes goes thus: "Shame on ; cheating bastards". Or more usually "Same old ; always cheating".
• "'s a wanker" (used to degrade anyone on the pitch). "The referee's a wanker" is also popular.
• To the tune of Handel's Hallelujah Chorus - ! You're a wanker! You're a wanker! This is used primarily in Australia against controversial players by opposing fans.
• " walks on water! Tra la la la la la la!" (used whenever a player completes an amazing deed)
• "Stand up, if you hate ." This can refer to a person or a team, and would be accompanied, of course, with the singing fans standing (an act usually frowned upon in all-seater stadia due to safety reasons).
• "Sit down, shut up", directed at loud opposition fans
• "You're so crap it's unbelievable", sung by fans when someone from the opposing team is playing poorly.
• "You're so old it's unbelievable", commonly used by fans, notably by Adelaide United fans when Romario was playing for them.
• "...In the (insert town where opposing fans come from) slums, they look in the dustbin for something to eat. They find a dead cat and they think it's a treat. In the (insert town) slums!" (repeated).
• "You dirty bastard!" - sung by supporters directed at an opposition player after he has committed a foul. Supporters from clubs from the South of England will chant "You dirty northern bastard" toward a player from a team from Northern England. Supporters of Plymouth Argyle can and do chant "You dirty northern bastard" toward players from every team they play as they are the most southern league team in the English Football League, but with particular relish when they are playing Torquay United, who are based four miles further north and would usually be singing the song themselves. Supporters from clubs from Northern England will chant "You dirty southern bastard" toward a player from a team from the South of England. And in a similar principle to Plymouth, the supporters of Hartlepool United, one of the most northerly teams in England, sing "You dirty southern bastard" toward Carlisle United players. In addition, counties are often used, for instance "You dirty Yorkshire bastard" directed at a player from a club from Yorkshire. Also, often the town itself is used, especially if the match is a local derby. Other examples inlcude "Dirty cockney bastard" - often sung toward fans of any London club, regardless of where in London they are from, and also "Dirty bastard. ^[2]
• Some football teams also have songs which are traditionally sung by their fans. Probably the most famous of these are Liverpool's You'll Never Walk Alone, Leeds United's Marching on Together, Everton's "If Yer Know yer History", West Ham United's I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles, Norwich City's On The Ball, City Crystal Palace's Glad All Over,and Swansea City's Swansea 'o' Swansea. Inevitably, these have sometimes become targets for parody by opposition fans; "You'll Never Walk Alone" has been adapted to "You'll Never Get A Job", a reference to the high unemployment in Liverpool during the late 1970s and 1980s.
• " We're not x we're x" The first x being a major football club or nation and the latter being a small club or nation has become popular in recent years to the tune of The Battle Hymn of the Republic It is most often chanted by Northern Ireland fans as "We're not Brazil we're Northern Ireland, but it's all the same to me" the high number of syllables required have limited its use to a handful of club sides with songs such as "We're not Man U we're Accy Stanley".
• "You couldn't score in a brothel" is used to mock opposing players who miss easy shots on goal.
• During the 2005-06 Premiership season, Portsmouth fans sang "We've got the whole world in our team" to the tune of "He's got the whole world in his hands" as a reference to their cosmopolitan squad.
• "Can you hear the [team name here] sing? No. no, (sung twice followed by -) I can't hear a f***ing thing." Usually sang at the other teams fans.
• "Who are ya, who are ya" Chanted at opposition players who are unknown/ not well known.

Sometimes a chant will have a limited shelf life. The most notable example was sung by Manchester City fans during the 1969-70 season, "Pardoe, Pardoe, is off to Mexico, with Bell and Lee and Summerbee, Pardoe, Pardoe, Pardoe, Pardoe....." to the tune of the HiHo song from Snow White. It referred to City fans confidence that full back Glyn Pardoe would be included in the England squad for the 1970 World Cup along with team-mates Colin Bell, Francis Lee and Mike Summerbee. Their confidence was misplaced.

Some chants form part of a protest by the fans against the management of the club, usually if the majority of fans believe the manager should be sacked, or if they believe the board to be not acting in the club's best interests - for example, when Robert Maxwell was the Derby County manager, the Derby fans sang, "he's fat, he's round, he's never at the ground, Captain Bob, Captain Bob". Some chants might be a protest to the chairman not to sell a star player.

Another chant is "Who ate all the pies?", to the tune of Knees Up Mother Brown, which is aimed at a supposedly overweight player or official.

During the 1990s, opposition fans at Nottingham Forest games began singing "He's got a pineapple on his head" to the tune of "He's got the whole world in his hands" to Jason Lee because of his somewhat unorthodox hair cut. The chant became famous when featured on David Baddiel and Frank Skinner's Fantasy Football League.

An example of irony would be Manchester United fans chants of "What a waste of money" when £25m signing Wayne Rooney scored a hat-trick on his Manchester United debut.

Very often chants are abuse directed at an opposition player, particularly if an incident has happened that has irritated fans of the other team, for example if a player has appeared to have cheated to get a penalty kick. Abuse is also commonly directed at match officials, usually the referee after a controversial decision has been made. Common variations include "You don't know what you're doing", "You're not fit to referee", "Shit refs, we only get shit refs" and "The referee's a wanker!". Another football chant sang by fans is "Que sera, sera, whatever will be will be. Another chant is "Same old (insert team name), always cheating!" when an opposition player fouls or dives.

"No One Likes Us - We Don't Care" (to the tune of Sailing) emanated from the fans of Millwall F.C. in the early 1980s as a reaction to what they perceived to be unfair criticism of their behaviour by the press, and the stereotypical image of all Millwall fans as hooligans.

Another popular chant is "You're not singing, you're not singing, you're not singing anymore!". Sung to "Oh My Darling, Clementine" when either a team has equalized or gone ahead when they have been behind. Another variation is "Shall we sing a song for you?" when the opposition fans are not very vocal in their support.

When the newly promoted premiership teams make their first visits to top four teams, a popular chant from the home teams' fans is "You'll never play here again; you'll never play here again" to the tune of Blue Moon. "You won't be back next year" is another variation that can be applied to teams at the end of the season when in imminent fear of relegation.

Particularly popular at the new Emirates Stadium during season 2006/7 is the accusatory chant to the opposition fans that "You're only here to see the Arsenal!"

On 11 May 2004, Jonny Hurst was chosen as England's first 'Chant Laureate'. Barclaycard set up the competition to choose a Chant Laureate, to be paid £10,000 to tour Premiership stadia and compose chants for the 2004-5 football season. The judging panel was chaired by the Poet Laureate Andrew Motion, who said "What we felt we were tapping into was a huge reservoir of folk poetry."^[3]
