I’m here for less than two minutes and we already have a terrible chant, a poetic analysis, *and* an Osama Bin Laden visual. Only Alfie could showcase such immense genius.
When I was 12 during the 2014, World Cup, this chant was so cool to me. Maybe it was the gap year of us missing out in 2018, but last winter I just didn’t feel any joy when hearing it. That could also be because the Berhalter hate brigade has poisoned USMNT fandom and made feeling joy impossible
@@lorddarlo6194there is no way a marching band is making it into a league two game thankfully, I prefer to listen to drunken wailing about their mum being a slag and whatnot
I will die on the hill that 'you're getting mauled by the Tigers' complete with the hand gestures is one of the best chants in football, purely based on how much it winds opposition fans up. Imagine going 4-0 down to Hull City and having grown men doing the chant and hand gestures at you, you'd completely lose your head with rage. It's hilarious
As a Chelsea supporter I'm starting to think that the Match-going fans are the worst part of the fanbase. Seems like Blues fans from the rest of the world aren't as stupid
Seen the "CHELSEA CHELSEA CHELSEA" chant in lists of 'most iconic chants in football' and never could get my head around why. They're literally just shouting the club name????
Pretty much up there with Monty Python's Lumberjack Song, which started off as supposedly a macho song about being a lumberjack, before revealing its actually a song about crossdressing fantasies. lol
As a non English viewer that didn't know any of these chants, I don't think I'm ever going to recover from watching this video. The Giroud start was already mind boggling but the Chelsea Ranger left me in a state of shock.
@@SirAntoniousBlockI'm really starting to hate the fanbase... and I'm one of them... (Not an antisemite, just a Chelsea supporter. Though at this point I'm starting to doubt there is a difference)
Alfie. Please. I’m laughing so hard that now I had to pause because it was too funny! Your content has consistently uplifted me are reminds me that funny still exists. Thank you.
Oscar Wilde was a sometime (and involuntary) resident of Reading and I’m sure he would have appreciated the subtle nuances of Reading FC’s “We Hate Swindon” chant, which is simply that pithy phrase repeated six times before rounding off with an emphatic “We are the Swindon haters!” Poetic in its simplicity.
The England-German football rivalry is kind of funny, because of how one-sided it is. Most Germans would probably say The Netherlands is their biggest rival.
Best chant was at the 2016 Summer Olympics when every time Hope Solo did a goal kick the crowd went "Ahhhhhhhhh! ZIKA!" (in reference to her comments saying she was fearful of going to Brazil due to the virus lol).
this is uniroinically one of the best videos you've made alfie i had a lot of fun watching this vids i truly cannot express how much i love watching your videos alfie keep it up!
As someone who tutors GCSE English sometimes, the initial chant is still a better, more symbolically coherent and thematically rich composition than Jane Weir's Poppies. Real ones know
Atleast Liverpool still have You'll Never Walk Alone as a saving grace lol, Chelsea had none. The team was fairly mediocre before Abramovich takeover afterall(i mean while they DO have trophy and often finished in a high position, they're basically Blue Tottenham back then)
@@All-Outta-Bubblegum right. Those were better than United's copy of an American wartime song(glory glory Manchester United). Idk why the moment i heard it i always feel cringy

Honestly, I am a Chelsea fan and my first thought at #7 was "oh come on, man, don't kick us when we're THIS down...", but by the end of #2, I was like "yep, fair enough, we fucking suck..."
My brother once started a chant of "Rent boy, rent boy, rent boy" aimed at David Bentley when he came up to take a corner. To my surprise, the entire stand to a person joined in. The resultant corner was terrible and Bentley's performance noticeably dropped off for the rest of the game.
Another day. Another request for a What On Earth Is Going On at Santos FC EDIT: Thank you so Much for dissing the Tony Martial chant. As a Man United fan sick to death of him I feel so represented
So Alfie, you're not sure whether Marching On Together is factually accurate or not? Wait until you hear Leeds fans singing "We Are The Champions, Champions Of Europe"
As a German supporter, what I don’t understand about the war chants is that it seems to imply that Germans consider WWII a humiliation. Like, we’re glad the Nazis lost too, you know?
4 minutes and 30 seconds of pure pain and analysis for a chant I wish never heard at the very start of the video is a first in my life Alfie, please never do it again.
It was absolutely awful. Within seconds I was muttering 'Stop, stop, please stop'. I feel bad for the lad who's probably at least a little bit infamous for this and really doesn't deserve it.
I have no issue with the "Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea" chant...seeing that many other club supporters just chant their club's name. I also do not have an issue with Leeds' anthem. It's not the best anthem ever, but it works. Every other one of your other listings should absolutely be on here. I've never heard of "Chelsea Ranger" until today, and I will be perfectly okay if I never hear that chant again.
We at Charlton have a number of impressively bad ones. There's an Addams Family one that makes insinuations about the bedroom habits of the opposition that should by rights be reserved for East Anglian opposition alone, but which is aimed at more or less everyone. There's another one that celebrates the delights of life in South London in a particularly...lusty way, before proceeding to a second verse that takes aim at Millwall's home turf (this bit is less objectionable tbf). We also do most of the ones that all other clubs do with slavish dedication. The worst chant I've ever heard is Sheffield United's 'His name is Ched Evans, he'll shag who he wants' though. Have always wished them ill since then
I don’t understand how MOT is apparently worse when it’s a decent anthem and represents the club well. Whereas ‘champions of Europe’ is boring, repetitive and factually incorrect that’s so much worse than MOT
As a neutral and outsider (American), after hearing pretty much all of them from the league, I think that MOT is one of the best. Heck, "never walk alone" sounds like like a funeral procession. I can understand him hating it - he's a Hull fan.@@sirsurnamethefirstofhisnam7986
It’s been the anthem of the Finland national team fans for quite some time too! ‘We’ve got sauna, booze and an axe, oh Finland is so wonderful,’ (Yep, I don’t know why there’s an axe either). 😂
No, Marching on Together is not ironic. And no, we don't scarf twirl at Marching on Together either. I feel like the inclusion of Marching on Together on this list came with a *slight* bias
re: the sounders chant, as someone who has been going to those games for years, the sounders and several other clubs used to be a lot more rowdy and the chants used to be less tame but a few years ago the MLS and US Soccer cracked down a lot on teams with chants that were taken to be offensive (and by offensive they mean not child friendly) which a decent number of fans arent a fan of. its made going to games a lot less fun if im being honest
In all fairness, 'stand up if you won the war' is tasteful compared to the plastic orange wehrmacht helmets that were popular in 2006 in the Netherlands. I still see them popping up here and there to this day, especially if games againt Germany. Considering that, unlike England-Germany, NL-Germany is actually considered a rivalry by both sides, things do often get heated, but the Dutch really pushed it in 2006.
Quick video suggestion, albeit one which I highly doubt would work, I mean other than a Santos one and the growth of attendances in the Brasileiro, is about the Albanian women's league which seems to be the strangest in all of european football, due to the number of goals scored by some teams and how few others score.
Also, speaking as a German, literally none here (aside from dumb neo nazis probably) is mad about the fact that Germany lost World War II - making the ten german bombers chant even more pointless
i mean... England-Germany is also a one-sided rivalry so it is kind of fitting for England fans to chant something that Germans would not be upset about at all lol
Was at the Nottingham Forest v Brighton and Hove Albion match the other week and some of our fans started chanting 'Billy Gilmour, Billy Gilmour' etc. on the way to the station. A passing Forest fan pointed out it wasn't our best effort to which the Brighton fans reluctantly agreed. Some signs of self awareness.
Villa do a similar rendition to that shite Chelsea song and they rightfully get bullied for it by their neighbours with high pitched “Villa, Villa, Villa” chants in response
Feyenoord Rotterdam is my club and we have the best chants in The Netherlands by far. We do singing only, so no drums or other instruments and no megaphones are allowed. Also, we have no ultra's or any of that. Just a lot of people singing.
Yes and it's very annoying and it is not good for the quality of the songs. Go and watch a Feyenoord game and you'll see that we don't do this but stick to singing. And we do play Champions League again!!!@@jamesthornton3539
I already know the worst football chant. It's my local team, Egaleo, in Greece. Its heart-warming lyrics go like this: Ooooo... Oooo... Ooo... Egaleo... Oo... The two os in the end are crucial. They concentrate the whole meaning of the chant.
Man, your scathing sarcasm is at high tide on this one, Alfie! I think there's a subset of football fans who would be very upset with you, if they knew how to use the internet and might conceivably find this video.
In Brasil, Palmeiras fans disrespect the national anthem by chanting "Palmeiras my Palmeiras" for 2 minutes over the traditional national anthem that plays in all matches. It is mocked by all other supporters cause Palmeiras fans often say they are of italians ancestry, also they are historically racists.
Anything in the MLS. I swear it's like they hired a marketing company to write the most basic rate G chants for all the clubs to be easy to learn and family friendly
Although I don't endorse sectarianism, Celtic's chant about Henrik Larsson with the line "He's got dreadlocks, He hates John Knox, Henrik Henrik Larsson" is so ridiculous it's pure gold
You're going to expect some pretty tasteless chants at a football match. If it at least has the decency to be vaguely creative, I'd say it gets a pass.
The Chelsea Ranger chant is heinous, but in their defense they certainly didn't come up with it. It's a bastardization of "I Wanna Be an Airborne Ranger" which has been a US Army marching and running cadence since at least the 1970s and even the version that references necrophilia was one my Air Force squadron would regularly march to back in the 90s (despite the fact that, I remind you, the Airborne Rangers are an Army unit). As I was watching the clip you shared in your video I found myself mouthing along to it for the first time in 25+ years and felt pretty awful about it. Now, as an Aston Villa fan, let's talk about why the best 7 chants in world football are all "Super John McGinn". Love your work.
It's nice to live in a bubble of only going to your team's matches and thinking that you are unique, but Alfie really burst that bubble for me with the Super Kieron McKenna song!
I’m here for less than two minutes and we already have a terrible chant, a poetic analysis, *and* an Osama Bin Laden visual. Only Alfie could showcase such immense genius.
*Song to America* 😂
And a "bazinga."
indeed, who else does this
And Saddam Hussein
Well, Alfie is in fact Maradona, Cruyff and Pele reincarnated as a dweeb.
The 40 seconds at the start is the longest 40 seconds ever in my life
Thought it would never end
It was only 40 seconds?
Right, 40 seconds. Thank you. I'd turned the video off. Feel like the joke would have landed with just a couple of seconds of footage...
As an American soccer fan, I'm surprised that our "We believe that we will win" chant didn't make the list.
Hands down the worst to me. Also can't wait to scream it in Dallas during the World Cup tho lmao.
THIS IS ATLANTA
When I was 12 during the 2014, World Cup, this chant was so cool to me. Maybe it was the gap year of us missing out in 2018, but last winter I just didn’t feel any joy when hearing it. That could also be because the Berhalter hate brigade has poisoned USMNT fandom and made feeling joy impossible

On the other hand, "We lose every week..." is the greatest football chant ever known to mankind.
I'd say second best after "Luis Suarez, your teeth are offside"
Let's pretend we scored a goal is also up there
Have heard in a few places "is this a library?" Chanted as an away fan if they're visiting a place with no atmosphere

The chant itself is class but the hand claw gesture is absolutely shambolic.
The best one is when Leeds were hammering Hull and chanting "We're getting mailed by the tigers"
I think it would be even funnier in the 89th minute after a dubious penalty puts Hull City 1-0 up. Either way, it's hilarious.
Even you don't really believe that.
Shhhhhhh we don’t people to actually get the joke, come on it’s funny seeing everyone get mad about it online

Why do I find myself watching and enjoying so much of your content when I'm not even a fan of football?
It might be EXACTLY why.
As a Chelsea fan, our chants are a bit rubbish.
Alfie saying “getting a chub on” 😂😂
I know you mentioned that it is different that people don't chant about sex offenders, but the Melbourne Victory actives would seek to disagree.
Need a follow up video on 7 worst chants from a-league active support groups…
@@fletch6183 just thought I’d mention it as the Danny Townsend one does stick in the memory lol
Man, your scathing sarcasm is at high tide on this one, Alfie! I think there's a subset of football fans who would be very upset with you, if they knew how to use the internet and might conceivably find this video.
You gotta do "Top 7 BEST Football Chants"
It'd just be mauled by the tigers 7 times
In Brasil, Palmeiras fans disrespect the national anthem by chanting "Palmeiras my Palmeiras" for 2 minutes over the traditional national anthem that plays in all matches. It is mocked by all other supporters cause Palmeiras fans often say they are of italians ancestry, also they are historically racists.
Only towards the end have I understood that he chants about Giroud 🙈
The only longer 43 seconds I have ever experienced were during a colonoscopy.
Anything in the MLS. I swear it's like they hired a marketing company to write the most basic rate G chants for all the clubs to be easy to learn and family friendly
You hit the nail on the head. The only thing you forgot is “boring”.
That’s exactly what they did
Well MLS banned YSA…
Although I don't endorse sectarianism, Celtic's chant about Henrik Larsson with the line "He's got dreadlocks, He hates John Knox, Henrik Henrik Larsson" is so ridiculous it's pure gold
You're going to expect some pretty tasteless chants at a football match. If it at least has the decency to be vaguely creative, I'd say it gets a pass.
I quite love the leicester goalkeeper 'tw-t, you're sh** AAAHHHHH' and its various extrapolations, it's so funny
Holy crap it's #1 I'm dead
@@hassanes3360 Everyone does this one. Everyone
It's so shit, everyone does it.
Im still trying to figure out who ally gerood is who used to be a gunner 🤣🤣
As someone who lives in the US, when you start doing the “USA” chant in a high school Anerican Football game, I start to raise some questions
Languishing in league 2 made me bawl like a mad person 😂
Chelsea. Worst chants. Worst fans
As I always like to say. I hate Millwall and Tottenham cause I'm West Ham. I hate Chelsea cause I'm human.
Chelsea Chelsea, Chelsea Chelsea Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea Chelsea
One of the best chants in football imo
We just got penetrated by Fulham sad times
The Chelsea Ranger chant is heinous, but in their defense they certainly didn't come up with it. It's a bastardization of "I Wanna Be an Airborne Ranger" which has been a US Army marching and running cadence since at least the 1970s and even the version that references necrophilia was one my Air Force squadron would regularly march to back in the 90s (despite the fact that, I remind you, the Airborne Rangers are an Army unit). As I was watching the clip you shared in your video I found myself mouthing along to it for the first time in 25+ years and felt pretty awful about it.
Now, as an Aston Villa fan, let's talk about why the best 7 chants in world football are all "Super John McGinn". Love your work.
I laughed so hard during the first 4 minutes that I had to be medically resuscitated.
Top 7 best ever chants next
Off the strength of that "Mauled by the Tigers" chant, I've become a casual Hull City fan 🙌🏽🙌🏽😅😅
the witty humour in these vids from you is gold dude lol
As far as terrible chants are concerned, Chelsea ranger deserves its own video. Why did I have to stumble across that?
“Insert team” get battered/are massive is the single worst chant that has ever been in the English leagues.
Chelsea making poverty based chants at Everton is about as awful as it gets
The Chelsea ranger thing came from Berwick. "I wanna be a Berwick ranger, only live for sex and danger"
It's nice to live in a bubble of only going to your team's matches and thinking that you are unique, but Alfie really burst that bubble for me with the Super Kieron McKenna song!
