One which I thought was funny, but it was clear that the player didn't!

He used to be s***e
But now he's allright!

Fred, stick to selling t shirts , that's crap!

You can't stop laughing at this one :

🎶 🎤 Solihull Moors FC by the NEC and Birmingham City FC , famous for Insolvency !!! 🎤🎶🥁

Next season we will hear a chant from Notts County fans that appears to make no sense. It’s simple, inclusive, uses no divisive language or themes, but it brings their fans together. This chant brings positive traits; camaraderie, loyalty, humour and the ability to face adversity, hence why for me the 'Wheelbarrow Song' sums up all that is good about chanting.

For those who haven’t heard it, to the tune of ‘Old Smoky’, it is simply;

[b][i]“I had a wheelbarrow, the wheel fell off, I had a wheelbarrow, the wheel fell off, County, County, County”[/i][/b]

Why then is that a great football chant? It has nothing to do with football, until the final reference to County,

Well, it is self-deprecating; the inference being that as a club that they are so unfortunate that even their wheelbarrow is broken. And yet, despite all that, they still love the wheelbarrow. They'll get a new wheel, it’ll be as good as new. Then at they start of the new season they'll believe again.

I think TUFC have had a few broken wheelbarrow's in our time, so when you hear their chant you will be able to relate to it's meaning.

I always liked the variation on the Addams Family that we used at Yeovil once year. We probably weren't the first team to use it (very few chants are original now), but still.

der der der der (clap clap)
der der der der (clap clap)
Your sister is your mother
Your father is your brother
You all **** one another
The Yeovil Family.

a very old song which made me laugh
Who's up Mrs Brown
Who's up Mrs Brown
Tommy Tommy Docherty
Tommy Tommy Docherty

The context being he was shagging the Manure physio Laurie Brown's wife :lol:

Perhaps someone's come out from under a bridge? ;-)

Not original at all but timing and context are everything. First League 2 game away to Yeovil FC when they were promoted. About 10 minutes in a Yeovil player fouled Joe Kuffour and up went the chant of 'You dirty northern bastards'! Absolute genius comic timing!

Well my favourite is Aston Villa's chant that goes on about Tuanzebe.I like it

Oooh Matt, the swear filter didn't work when I read that on my phone. Nearly choked on my Tooty Fruities. It does on the poot though.

Nick - the Mike Poke is ace one was brilliant, but I can't remember all the words. Went to tune of Pokerface. Need rjc to remind me of the words please :bow:

[quote="QAGull"]Cheers Awayday, I'm an exile who has only been able to go to away games this season after a period overseas so i'm catching up on the chants. A very old one (well over 20 years old) that is still one of my favourites is "Have you ever seen a beach?"[/quote]

It wasn't a dig, sorry if that is how it sounded.

When we are at home a follow on from the "Have you seen a beech" I like the "You're only here for the seaside".

I particularly like 'Ooh aah, it's a mass-a-kar' (spelling mistake intended!) Pretty much cos it means whenever we're singing it, we thrashing someone! And it sounds funny sung by a load of Devonians... Was very funny at Bradford, especially cos about 5000 (no exaggeration) of their fans were leaving as we were singing it!
