Hey Amanda, In the UK we're a little more creative with our chants and songs. I think (having attended a few football games in the US) it's more about the day as entertainment in the US but in the UK it's hardcore full on for the match. Entertainment is a pint before the match in the UK.
yeah American sports are entertainment whereas UK sport like football its basically tribal behaviour its not just a match its about your tribe beating another
Yeaaaa nooooooooo that’s just not true… Amanda, football for the UK isn’t just about the match it’s life, football for us is pretty much what makes up 60% of conversation for the week with you and your work pals and the boys, football is 60% day out 40% match. it’s waking up at which ever time you need too, cracking a can beer open and going for a shower and getting ready, going spoons and meeting yer pals and keep drinking (or going to your local) sinking a few more pints in, checking the line up either bricking it or thinking fucking hell aye we’ve got this game, it’s all belief or disbelief it’s walking to the grounds and getting through the gates thinking aye this is gonna be a good game, you grab a pint in one hand and you grab a pie in the other, doddle about till game starts then it begins Match starts your screaming your favourite players name to bang one in the back of the net and you call him a cunt if he misses but you still love him all the same, it’s a rollercoaster of emotions till the games over, you’ll walk out happy or pissed off but you still love it all the same, after that you’ll either see the night through or make your way home through a steaming pile of shit traffic and that is football
As much as I love our American cousins, and not wanting to sound rude. The difference is not giving a toss, and a bit of wit thrown in for good measure. Great video
I still think my favourite is the one comparing Jonjo Shelvey to Voldemort, ("Harry Potter, he's coming for you!") at least in part because you see Shelvey acknowledge it with a smile of his own, like he is going "OK, that's a good one" to the fans You might need to do a quick search for images of the players referenced, Mesut Ozil has quite prominent eyes ("His eyes are offside") while Diego Costa could be described as not being conventionally attractive (or as one person said "like you had tried using a bag of doorknobs to make a human face")
For the Ozil one, someone also tried to get a chant of 'There's only one Admiral Ackbar' going - niche Star Wars reference for a football chant if you ask me!
I guarantee if you go to an English football stadium, you will either join in with the chants or come out singing them after the game. The best atmosphere ever. Took my Partner to one for the first time a few years ago. She loved it.
I hate college football (American) from a game perspective but but I would put it up against anything for atmosphere. Ever see 100k people screaming and stomping their feet for 18-22 year old kids so loud the stadium shakes and you can't talk to the person next to you after getting a bunch of free burgers, hotdogs, ribs, and who knows how much beer....
UK - 1, USA - 0. When you need a microphone to get a chant going, you have lost. I just think the UK one's are way more offensive and humorous - just how it should be!
Even the micro states in Europe with populations smaller than American universities, have more energic stadiums. Supporting your local club is like going to church.
Admit it Amanda, the UK is the home of the creative insult. Only Philadelphia sports fans in the USA have the same self depreciatory, ironic sense of humour. The 'We lose every week' could easily ring around the Wells Fargo centre on Hockey night
Hi Amanda, this sort of chanting you watched is more on the fun side, you get much better songs about the clubs. Such as this one, your never walk alone by Liverpool, it refers to the hill borough disaster which happened many years ago but it’s a very emotional chant. m.ua-cam.com/video/JCIgqQrp05Y/v-deo.html
After Leicester won the premier league they started singing "Champions of England, you'll never sing that". At Sunderland fans. The INSTANT reaction was "We've won it six times, you'll never sing that". There are various levels of research that go into some of the chants.
In 2017 we did a family trip to the UK, as a surprise for me (being English) my sister in law thought it would be a nice surprise if she got tickets for the Tottenham V Arsenal game, my first comment was "we are not taking the girls right"...My nieces were 12 and 15 at the time. She calmly explained that they as a family had gone to LA Galaxy games and yes she knew some of the chants......Yeah, no they didn't but hearing 33,000 people chanting "F**k Arsenal" for half the game taught them some new chants.
In the late 1960's I was at Spurs when Alan Ball (the player who drove England forward in extra time to win the World Cup in '66) was in the opposition team. The teams were on the pitch warming up and the Spurs fans were chanting each of their player's names and when that player raised his arm in acknowledgment, a round of applause rang out. Once the crowd had called out the Spurs players' names they chanted, 'Alan, Alan, Alan Ball, Alan Ball' etc. He raised his arm in acknowledgement only to be greeted by repeated choruses of 'Wank, wank, wank' with a forest of raised arms giving the traditional accompanying sign. It was the funniest thing I have ever seen at a football game. Poor old Alan Ball's face was beetroot!
You have to admire the collective gathering of braincells and creative genius that is the English football mob. My local team, Grimsby Town, aka the Mariners, are known to frequently chant "we p*ss on your fish!" Haha

Started watching your content a few days ago and must admit it's slowly becoming addictive much love to you and your family hope you guys are safe and well 💕
I've been a Wolves season ticket holder for years and my theory on this is simple... we as English football fans have to create our own entertainment because what's happening on the pitch is quite often dog shite, or there are long periods where not much is going on at all... We're very good at coming up with humorously offensive chants because it's in our nature to take the piss. I've been to watch American sports and frankly, there isn't time to be bored because there seems to be 'time outs' every five minutes and either the cheerleaders will run on, or there'll be a 'kiss-cam', or some geezer firing t-shirts into the crowd. The Americans haven't had to make up their own entertainment because it is constantly provided for them! My Mrs wouldn't thank me for taking her to stand on the South Bank on a cold January afternoon, when it's pissing down and the only entertainment is me and my mates chanting in her ear for 90 minutes after we're 5 pints in... she loved watching the Knicks though.
We have some good regional football songs in the uk depending on the team or cities.there are many examples but the one I can think of is “like a greasy chip butty “ sang by my local teams fans at Sheffield United
It is a funny comparison. Having grown up in England and raised going to matches in the 70's and 80's, the chanting and taunting the other team, their fans, and players just became natural. And, in a hated rival match, it got really creative! We could also add humor at anytime - I remember it was common to see inflatable dolls and bananas being tossed about the stadium - the inflatable d*ck from what I think was the Sunderland fans still cracks me up. Having lived in the US for many years and attended a few MLS games, the US just can't do football chants - cringe is an understatement! This one is UK all the way and always will be...cheers!
I am British but have attended a few different stadiums in the USA. In the US they often have chants started by a bloke over the tannoy or they broadcast recorded chants to "get the crowd going". If any club tried to do that in the UK they would get destroyed by there own fans. My club (Yeovil Town) once brought out some official cheerleaders who had recorded a song. They got boo'ed off every game. The club got the message and they quietly got retired.
That last one was actually the Arsenal team after winning the FA Cup. The guy on the mic was midfielder Jack Wilshere. It was just after the victory parade back at their stadium. The chant is done by Arsenal fans at every game.
I think UK chants have more purposes than the US. We use them to silence opposition crowds and change the atmosphere of the ground. We use them to demoralise a player or a team, and we have chants that encourage players, or the team. They are more personalised to individual teams and players here. Who makes them up is a mystery 🤷🏻♂️😂
Got to admire the supporters taunting the opposing team by saying beating their own side doesn’t mean they’re any good because their own side loses to everyone!
As others have said, the Barbeque chant is based on the Vindaloo song, I would think they are chanting barbeque because the other team is getting a 'roasting'- severely beaten.
To borrow the famous tweet quote. American sports fans: De-fense! De-fense! British sports fans: All right lads, I’ve just worked up a song to the tune of Debussy’s Clair de Lune about an opposing player’s drunk driving charge, I’ll count us off, ONE TWO THREE!!!!
The barbecue chant was based on our Vindaloo chant. The Vindaloo chant is an England chant rather than a club chant. It was in the charts so you should be able to find it on Spotify.
Definitely more attitude and swearing from the British and the barbecue song I believe was taken from a song that was in the British charts around the 90s with the words changed.
"Football's coming home" was the chant picked up on by England fans from this song for Euro '96 in England - and the song was called "Vindaloo" by Skinner and Baddiel.
The main biggest difference is that for us, European people, our football team is the most important thing, the match is the big event that you feel in your heart and you can feel this deep love in the chants. In USA you don't feel that same spirit, because you don't live in the same way the stadium, like if it's more of a family event rather than a match of your team
You should react to football ultras. They are hardcore football fans from around the world who take football fandom to the extreme. They are also, in my opinion, much more exciting than English fans
One of the things I miss, as a British ex pat here in the US, is being in the stadium at an English Football match, such a tribal visceral experience. Here, just not the same. Your video definitely showed that! I was laughing so much. Love this and your content in general, keep on going and have a lovely Xmas!
Uk chants spontaneous and well thought out for the situation and time or person. The US are all planned and drab, most of the chants come from chants in the UK but tamed down for the audience 🤣
What do you thing of Tottenham? Shit! What do you think of shit? Tottenham! Sign on, sign on with hope in your heart because you’ll never get a job, you’ll never get a job! Sign on sign on…….
It also very much depends on the upbringing and inherited cultural norms. In Denmark the F word has been on the front of the national newspaper more than once and no one gives a toss, all I care about is the overall message and context. Our chants are often like the UK ones, ruthless to Americans, fun to us.
@@LADYRAEUK There's one ABOUT Chelsea that doesn't have swearing in. When I was just a little boy, I asked my mother what should I be? Should I be Chelsea, should I be Leeds, Here's what she said to me, Wash your mouth out son, And go get your father's gun, And shoot the Chelsea scum, Shoot the Chelsea Scum.
Hi Amanda, the bar-b-q chant is basically where they've changed the lyrics to the Fat Les England football song, Vindaloo. If you still haven't heard it I highly recommend checking it out
The Adams family chant was between Mansfield town and Kidderminster town Football clubs and the rivalry dates back generations to when they were pit towns aka coal mining industry when the coal board would put towns and even local mines in competition with eachother ..
The American just haven’t quiet got it but then again they call it soccer..Us Brits are master class at chanting lol 😆 Your reaction to Adams family chant was hilarious 😆 Wishing you and your Family Happy Christmas and Happy new year. Take care be safe.
The major difference between the two seems to be the humour. Even the most insulting UK ones are still funny. The US ones in this video are terrible but I guess they're a bit better than U-S-A, U-S-A, U-S-A or Dee-Fence, Dee-Fence, Dee-Fence or 'make some noise' where they proceed to just make noise. They seem to be the most common US ones.
@@LADYRAEUK Not that I didn’t have a great time in the US. Friends in Long Island, great people and they loved coming to London. Arms across the pond . 👌
To be honest, there's no sport in the world that is anything near by comparison how big football is, and on this country, although we're not the most passionate folk in the world on the whole, footballs the one thing that just takes over the whole nation and we've been at it for one hundred and dirt years as a nation
My favourite is my teams chants about Sunderland AFC; (To the tune of He's got the whole world in his hands) They've got 27000 empty seats, they've got 27000 empty seats, they've got 27000 empty seats, they've got 27000 empty seats Sunderland's a massive club ARE THEY FUCK! They've got to fly from Newcastle to get to Spain, they've got to fly from Newcastle to get to Spain, they've got to fly from Newcastle to get to Spain, they've got to fly from Newcastle to get to Spain Sunderlands a massive club ARE THEY FUCK!
I've not read all the comments, so I might be repeating. The song about Park eating dogs in his own country is by his own fans and we loved him. He has asked the fans to stop singing it now.There's another about Tim Howard , an American, former goalkeeper at Man. Utd. who had Tourette's...
"That's another version of the Adams Family". Lol, that's exactly what I was thinking. I think a big difference is that we use chearleaders and are rooting for our teams, whereas in the UK it is more in your face and meant as intimidation, similar to engaging in battle. And a few pints doesn't hurt to fuel the chants Barbecue, barbecue. That was funny and all I could think was it might be Texas A&M or State. The Brits definitely outweighed the energy and unity in the chants shown in this video, Still laughing about some, keep up the great work. Merry Christmas.
Rob that barbeque chant is a direct rip off from Fat Les 1998 Vindaloo easily searchable on YT. :) Also the lyrics are "we're gonna score one more then you" murica gets hold of it and it's "we're gonna score THREE more then you." Always bigging it up that's where Texas comes in. :)
British chants are literally about insulting the other teams and psyching them out. It's a bit like a boxing match. Scare the shit out of the opponent and demoralise them. It's all to do with British humour and our obsession with taking the cocky person or team down a peg or two. American chants are more cheerleader orientated and we are the best scenario. So like a celebratory attitude for their team or person
The big difference in the chants is that the US ones are planned and led by a cheerleader/spokesman often in a call and response style. The UK chants are coming from the fans and at most are planned aby a handful in a pub pre-game.
Got to be said the American with the tie and microphone is an embarrassment In England you're immersed in football from an early age. The funniest people I've ever heard have been at matches. Unfortunately we are a nation of piss takers with very quick minds.
@@LADYRAEUK I was involved with the Barmy Army as well as being a Tottenham supporter. You should check some footage of them. Have done a couple of tours the atmosphere was something else.
Your analysis is spot on . That is british football fans for you. Not so familiar with US culture but it is also part of british sense of humour , the banter and busting on each other . Not sure how americans are .
The barbecue chant originates from a UK single in 1998 called Vindaloo by Fat Les. It was a football chant for England and made it to number 2 in the UK top 40 singles chart. There was even an official England band that went over. The drummer of which I knew. He was training to me a teacher the same time as me.
Mrs C used to look after the Liverpool players of the Joe Paisley era when she was an A+E sister at the now gone Walton hospital, her favourite player was Emlyn Hughes aka Crazy Horse YNWA
Some of the local derbies can be "fun" for the neutral observer; Millwall/West Ham, Birmingham/Villa, Blackburn/Burnley, Newcastle/Sunderland. More so if it's been a few years since they last played.

Hey Amanda, love your videos particularly your reaction ones, that snort & your laugh just makes things even funnier!! It makes me feel like I'm laughing along with you. If I could recommend a vid to watch it would be Kevin Bridges on a show called 'Would I lie to you' where he talks about accidentally buying a horse. Honestly it's so funny!! 🙂
As an American Tottenham fan I honestly love all the British chants, other than ones from the 2nd North London club, (que there fans comments about the ol' days) and couldn't agree more. "I believe that we will win" couldn't be more American but I've participated in quite a few of that particular chant and it'll get a whole stadium going. Quite a bit of fun the whole chant idea.
Im sorry but ”We won the league at Sh*te Hart Lane” and ”What do we think of Tottenham?” are few of the best chants. The best Tottenham can do is to copy Southampton. I dont think ive heard any other Spurs chants the marching in one
I would love to hear what US football supporters could come up with, if they were as unhinged and deranged in their sense of humor as the UK. Let's face it; the US is a virtual diamond ore inside a gold mine, when it comes to cultural/social issues and sports personalities to make offensive chants about. :)
At the end the guy with the mic is Jack Wilshere, who at the time played for Arsenal FC. Arsenal had won the FA Cup and were on an open top bus parade with the cup, and there he was leading the chant against the bitter north London rivals Spurs. Would an American sports star stand up and do that? Could you imagine what the sponsors would do?
The barbecue thing is an americanisation of the England football song by Fat Les, called Vindaloo (look it up here on youtube - i didn't link it so it wouldn't go to spam). Probably because a lot of americans wouldn;t have the slightest idea what vindaloo is perhaps?
Think what the difference is between USA fans and uk fans is because in UK we have something called 90 minute bigot, this phrase is basically what said at football stays at football. Where USA are more like UK rugby league fans family oriented just going by what I seen on this. Great video Amanda as always
Your face, with "Adams Family" chant! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Having worked with Men in the printing industry, no chant will ever shock me...the printers desensitised me! 🤣🤣🤣
I think that the Brits have got this one, hands down! This is a far cry from the days when it was: 'Yeah, we lost the match, but we won the fight afterwards!'
I can guarantee you this: if any team in Europe starts to sing "I believe we'll win", they will:
1. Lose.
2. Be mocked to death.
Lol 🤣🤣🤣
To be fair its somewhat of a step up from the utterly boring USA! USA! USA! they chant at the WC.
This should only be used when winning looks impossible.
i think "we believe we'll win but... we're not sure" would be way more descriptive

I've been to watch American sports and frankly, there isn't time to be bored because there seems to be 'time outs' every five minutes and either the cheerleaders will run on, or there'll be a 'kiss-cam', or some geezer firing t-shirts into the crowd. The Americans haven't had to make up their own entertainment because it is constantly provided for them! My Mrs wouldn't thank me for taking her to stand on the South Bank on a cold January afternoon, when it's pissing down and the only entertainment is me and my mates chanting in her ear for 90 minutes after we're 5 pints in... she loved watching the Knicks though.
That’s such a great point! Thank you 😊👍🏻
Not surprised you’ve been bored at games if you’re a Wolves season ticket holder 🤣😂
@@bterty5743 fr lol, they've only seen 14 goals so far this season
UK chants are the best in the world, Whether their meant to insult or compliment
Hahah I’m not sure
We have some good regional football songs in the uk depending on the team or cities.there are many examples but the one I can think of is “like a greasy chip butty “ sang by my local teams fans at Sheffield United
That sounds interesting lol
@All Things Laundry nah hi ho is rubbish compared to United’s theme song.
Didn't think I'd see a blades fan here lol
The Barbacue one is based off an English Football song: Vindaloo. It doesn't make any more sense, but there's a music video.
I laughed far too much at poor Amanda’s expression during the “10 men went to bed” one. That was classic. Now I feel mean.
Lol 🤣🤣
@@LADYRAEUK everybody knows that nobody does it better!
It's because Ashley Cole allegedly stuck a mobile phone up his bum
@@robertburgess11 what did he do that for?
@@michellea9857 To try and get a better signal maybe?
It is a funny comparison. Having grown up in England and raised going to matches in the 70's and 80's, the chanting and taunting the other team, their fans, and players just became natural. And, in a hated rival match, it got really creative! We could also add humor at anytime - I remember it was common to see inflatable dolls and bananas being tossed about the stadium - the inflatable d*ck from what I think was the Sunderland fans still cracks me up. Having lived in the US for many years and attended a few MLS games, the US just can't do football chants - cringe is an understatement! This one is UK all the way and always will be...cheers!
Haha I have to agree!
It’s wierd the Americans seem to need a PA system to know what to chant rather than it being spontaneous
lol
I am British but have attended a few different stadiums in the USA. In the US they often have chants started by a bloke over the tannoy or they broadcast recorded chants to "get the crowd going". If any club tried to do that in the UK they would get destroyed by there own fans. My club (Yeovil Town) once brought out some official cheerleaders who had recorded a song. They got boo'ed off every game. The club got the message and they quietly got retired.
That last one was actually the Arsenal team after winning the FA Cup. The guy on the mic was midfielder Jack Wilshere. It was just after the victory parade back at their stadium. The chant is done by Arsenal fans at every game.
The UK chant sound more like a musical number plus it's catch runs too you either dance with or sing with it
True
I think UK chants have more purposes than the US. We use them to silence opposition crowds and change the atmosphere of the ground. We use them to demoralise a player or a team, and we have chants that encourage players, or the team. They are more personalised to individual teams and players here. Who makes them up is a mystery 🤷🏻♂️😂
That’s a great point lom
Got to admire the supporters taunting the opposing team by saying beating their own side doesn’t mean they’re any good because their own side loses to everyone!
Lol 🤣🤣
Yeah a lot of us Brits don’t get too offended at what folks say to us because no one takes the piss out of us better than ourselves lol
As others have said, the Barbeque chant is based on the Vindaloo song, I would think they are chanting barbeque because the other team is getting a 'roasting'- severely beaten.
Don't think they are that creative.More likely they are thinking of their next meal
To borrow the famous tweet quote.
American sports fans: De-fense! De-fense!
British sports fans: All right lads, I’ve just worked up a song to the tune of Debussy’s Clair de Lune about an opposing player’s drunk driving charge, I’ll count us off, ONE TWO THREE!!!!
There is a team called Kidderminster better known as "Kiddy" now fit the team to the oppositions chant
Ah ok lol
I believe a certain Robert Plant ex Led Zeppelin has been spotted at Kidderminster Harriers ground
I so enjoy your videos. I love it when you laugh and snort. It is so real... Take care!!!
Thank you 😊🙌🙌
LETS PRETEND LETS PRETEND
LETS PRETEND WE SCORED A GOALLL!! 😂😂😭😭
I can’t stop LMFAO at u Amanda with yr reactions after each video as it’s better than some videos, btw yr gorgeous keep them coming
I don’t think those yank football fans would quite cut it down at Millwall on a cold January Saturday afternoon lol
I’m sure not lol
Millwall away what a shit experience
That is why you have tailgate parties in the U.S. and fights in the U.K. with supporters.
I love your snorted laughs Amanda! Always cracks me up!
Haha I’m glad 😊
The Lady Snortington is outraged...
The barbecue chant was based on our Vindaloo chant. The Vindaloo chant is an England chant rather than a club chant. It was in the charts so you should be able to find it on Spotify.
Ah okay 😊
Definitely more attitude and swearing from the British and the barbecue song I believe was taken from a song that was in the British charts around the 90s with the words changed.
Ah okay, I’ve never heard that lol
"Football's coming home" was the chant picked up on by England fans from this song for Euro '96 in England - and the song was called "Vindaloo" by Skinner and Baddiel.
@@cyberdonblue4413 actually Vindaloo was by Fat Les (Keith Allen)
The main biggest difference is that for us, European people, our football team is the most important thing, the match is the big event that you feel in your heart and you can feel this deep love in the chants. In USA you don't feel that same spirit, because you don't live in the same way the stadium, like if it's more of a family event rather than a match of your team
True, Americans see sports as entertainment, for us its religion.
I love watching you going slowly but surely native 🤣 😎🇬🇧
Lol 🤣🤣👍🏻
Yes Amanda is slowly but surely being assimilated into the Borg of Britain....
@@eamonnclabby7067 Yeah... we hang on to the good 'uns 😏
@@martinbaker613 quite agree,sir
US ...< .. ..UK FOOTBALL CHANTS
You should react to football ultras. They are hardcore football fans from around the world who take football fandom to the extreme. They are also, in my opinion, much more exciting than English fans
I’ll look them up 👍🏻
The fact that the English are much more humorous and creative...
Another good video, it's nice to have a laugh during these difficult pandemic times. Thank you Amanda and all the best for Christmas and the new year.
Thank you! Hope you have a merry Christmas 😊🎄
One of the things I miss, as a British ex pat here in the US, is being in the stadium at an English Football match, such a tribal visceral experience. Here, just not the same. Your video definitely showed that! I was laughing so much. Love this and your content in general, keep on going and have a lovely Xmas!
*immigrant :)
@@jackisnotdrew alright lad we literally made you’re country, I’m half American half British but born in Britain, we made your country lad
Uk chants spontaneous and well thought out for the situation and time or person. The US are all planned and drab, most of the chants come from chants in the UK but tamed down for the audience 🤣
Lol
What do you thing of Tottenham? Shit! What do you think of shit? Tottenham!
Sign on, sign on with hope in your heart because you’ll never get a job, you’ll never get a job! Sign on sign on…….
Lol
And some of the tunes are actually operatic arias - eg “We want our d**k back” is from a Verdi opera
It's now 6 European Cups and 19 Leagues and a World Club Cup
Listen to the Adam Johnson chants if you want proper ruthless British chants. Fully deserved chants I might add.
I’ve heard! 👍🏻
Going back 80s,there was the steve morrans a rapist,he wears a rapist hat. And when he see that Swedish nurse. He said im going to fack that.
@@essexhoop9652 and you even managed to reference a xmas song at that... oh... jingle bells ja ja ja
It also very much depends on the upbringing and inherited cultural norms. In Denmark the F word has been on the front of the national newspaper more than once and no one gives a toss, all I care about is the overall message and context. Our chants are often like the UK ones, ruthless to Americans, fun to us.
That’s brilliant
I was at Chelsea fc and a reporter asked us to sing a song with no swearing , we didn’t know any lol
Lol
@@LADYRAEUK There's one ABOUT Chelsea that doesn't have swearing in.
When I was just a little boy, I asked my mother what should I be?
Should I be Chelsea, should I be Leeds,
Here's what she said to me,
Wash your mouth out son,
And go get your father's gun,
And shoot the Chelsea scum,
Shoot the Chelsea Scum.
Hi Amanda, the bar-b-q chant is basically where they've changed the lyrics to the Fat Les England football song, Vindaloo. If you still haven't heard it I highly recommend checking it out
Thanks!
Yeah, when it comes to football chants we really are in a class of our own! Haha XD
Lol 🤣👍🏻
Not even top 5 in Western Europe
The Adams family chant was between Mansfield town and Kidderminster town Football clubs and the rivalry dates back generations to when they were pit towns aka coal mining industry when the coal board would put towns and even local mines in competition with eachother ..
Ah okay 😊👍🏻
The American just haven’t quiet got it but then again they call it soccer..Us Brits are master class at chanting lol 😆 Your reaction to Adams family chant was hilarious 😆 Wishing you and your Family Happy Christmas and Happy new year. Take care be safe.
Thank you! I hope you have a merry Christmas 😊🎄
great show as allways keep tripping over those words amanda got to get you to 100,000 subscribers your worth it
Thank you 😊
The major difference between the two seems to be the humour. Even the most insulting UK ones are still funny.
The US ones in this video are terrible but I guess they're a bit better than U-S-A, U-S-A, U-S-A or Dee-Fence, Dee-Fence, Dee-Fence or 'make some noise' where they proceed to just make noise. They seem to be the most common US ones.
Fair point kk
The BBQ one is a song called Vindaloo by Fat Les, made as an England national team song/anthem. I assume the Americans don’t like their curries hot
Having been to sporting events in the US it’s just a totally different atmosphere over there, much less tribal & intense than the UK.
Agreed!
@@LADYRAEUK Not that I didn’t have a great time in the US. Friends in Long Island, great people and they loved coming to London. Arms across the pond . 👌
😊😊
To be honest, there's no sport in the world that is anything near by comparison how big football is, and on this country, although we're not the most passionate folk in the world on the whole, footballs the one thing that just takes over the whole nation and we've been at it for one hundred and dirt years as a nation
My favourite is my teams chants about Sunderland AFC; (To the tune of He's got the whole world in his hands)
They've got 27000 empty seats, they've got 27000 empty seats, they've got 27000 empty seats, they've got 27000 empty seats
Sunderland's a massive club ARE THEY FUCK!
They've got to fly from Newcastle to get to Spain, they've got to fly from Newcastle to get to Spain, they've got to fly from Newcastle to get to Spain, they've got to fly from Newcastle to get to Spain Sunderlands a massive club ARE THEY FUCK!
English football fans do the best chants because no subject is off limits
True lol
I've not read all the comments, so I might be repeating. The song about Park eating dogs in his own country is by his own fans and we loved him. He has asked the fans to stop singing it now.There's another about Tim Howard , an American, former goalkeeper at Man. Utd. who had Tourette's...
"That's another version of the Adams Family". Lol, that's exactly what I was thinking.
I think a big difference is that we use chearleaders and are rooting for our teams, whereas in the UK it is more in your face and meant as intimidation, similar to engaging in battle. And a few pints doesn't hurt to fuel the chants
Barbecue, barbecue. That was funny and all I could think was it might be Texas A&M or State.
The Brits definitely outweighed the energy and unity in the chants shown in this video,
Still laughing about some, keep up the great work. Merry Christmas.
Thanks Rob! I feel like there’s much better American chants, they just picked some terrible ones 🤣
Merry Christmas! 😊🎄
Rob that barbeque chant is a direct rip off from Fat Les 1998 Vindaloo easily searchable on YT. :)
Also the lyrics are "we're gonna score one more then you" murica gets hold of it and it's "we're gonna score THREE more then you."
Always bigging it up that's where Texas comes in. :)
Kidderminster is known locally as Kiddy and the opposing team(of the fans chanting) were Kidderminster Harriers.
We are just simply showing our patriotism in a different way lol by use of sarcasm and offence to either either side haha
'Your dad washes elephants" is genius trolling.
British chants are literally about insulting the other teams and psyching them out. It's a bit like a boxing match. Scare the shit out of the opponent and demoralise them. It's all to do with British humour and our obsession with taking the cocky person or team down a peg or two.
American chants are more cheerleader orientated and we are the best scenario. So like a celebratory attitude for their team or person
Fair points 😊
“Do not give a toss”….ahhhhhhh….you’ve fully immersed yourself! Lovely!
Lol
Good Reaction, as always Amanda.
The "Man Or A Woman" and "Tits" chants were all for Andy Carroll who played with a long pigtail...
Thanks you 😊
... And was called "Carroll"
The big difference in the chants is that the US ones are planned and led by a cheerleader/spokesman often in a call and response style. The UK chants are coming from the fans and at most are planned aby a handful in a pub pre-game.
Ah okay 👍🏻👍🏻
The Adam Johndon chants were savage
Yep!
love that little head wobble thing you do when youre `getting down`.
Lol! Thanks 🤣
Got to be said the American with the tie and microphone is an embarrassment
In England you're immersed in football from an early age.
The funniest people I've ever heard have been at matches. Unfortunately we are a nation of piss takers with very quick minds.
That’s what makes the chants funny 🙌
@@LADYRAEUK
I was involved with the Barmy Army as well as being a Tottenham supporter.
You should check some footage of them. Have done a couple of tours the atmosphere was something else.
Your analysis is spot on .
That is british football fans for you.
Not so familiar with US culture but it is also part of british sense of humour , the banter and busting on each other .
Not sure how americans are .
Check out the most offensive UK chants awesome reaction btw!
😊👍🏻thanks!
Spent my time at Orlando City SC and the chants are fun to sing, I'm a Palace fan and hell we've abused so many players and teams over the years haha
The barbecue chant originates from a UK single in 1998 called Vindaloo by Fat Les. It was a football chant for England and made it to number 2 in the UK top 40 singles chart. There was even an official England band that went over. The drummer of which I knew. He was training to me a teacher the same time as me.
Sh I didn’t know that
And then the Americans ruined it
The BBQ thing relates to a football song in England about the English fans eating curry (Vindaloo)
Ah ok 👍🏻👍🏻
These chants are banned today. Most of them at least. Clubs get fined heavily now. Listen to You Never Walk Alone at Anfield. Goosebumps.
I’ll check it out 👍🏻
They largely are, but it's unenforceable & nothing brings a lump to your throat like the Kop in full flow!
@@SimSim-zf9if The real venomous ones from the Old Firm certainly are. F**k you snp barstewards for censoring our fun.
Mrs C used to look after the Liverpool players of the Joe Paisley era when she was an A+E sister at the now gone Walton hospital, her favourite player was Emlyn Hughes aka Crazy Horse YNWA
@@eamonnclabby7067 Fun fact, the top scorer against Liverpool in the 1970s was ...... Emlyn Hughes( all own goals).
Love your channel and I’m commenting before I watch. It’s UK, they are so funny but brutal. Now watch.
😊👍🏻
Some of the local derbies can be "fun" for the neutral observer; Millwall/West Ham, Birmingham/Villa, Blackburn/Burnley, Newcastle/Sunderland. More so if it's been a few years since they last played.
West Ham v Millwall is the big bounce up and down derby
why state the bleeding obvious ?....on ya bike, knobhead.
Ahh the old “Referee’s a w**ker” chan’t ….I believe it was first heard during those famous matches in Rome when the ‘Lions’ were playing at home 😉😂
id love to see a match between an american team and an english team and just to hear what the english fans come up with
Lol savage

We could have it in the fifa club world cup but MLS teams aren't good enough to win the CONCACAF Champions League so we'll have to resort to friendlies
@@joshualiley friendlies would do a packed stadium with American supporters stunned by the amount of chants the English come up with would be amazing
@@abcdaed Don't forget we have the world cup in the US in 5 years time, can't wait to see the US vs England in the group stages, will attract a whole lot more attention than a simple friendly
I have been watching all your videos your class FairPlay it’s good to see your views on the uk vs Americans
Thanks so much😊
Hey Amanda, love your videos particularly your reaction ones, that snort & your laugh just makes things even funnier!! It makes me feel like I'm laughing along with you. If I could recommend a vid to watch it would be Kevin Bridges on a show called 'Would I lie to you' where he talks about accidentally buying a horse. Honestly it's so funny!! 🙂
Lol thanks so much
I’ll check it out 😊
Or anything by Bob Mortimor on that show lol
As an American Tottenham fan I honestly love all the British chants, other than ones from the 2nd North London club, (que there fans comments about the ol' days) and couldn't agree more. "I believe that we will win" couldn't be more American but I've participated in quite a few of that particular chant and it'll get a whole stadium going. Quite a bit of fun the whole chant idea.
😊👍🏻👍🏻
Im sorry but ”We won the league at Sh*te Hart Lane” and ”What do we think of Tottenham?” are few of the best chants. The best Tottenham can do is to copy Southampton. I dont think ive heard any other Spurs chants the marching in one
I would love to hear what US football supporters could come up with, if they were as unhinged and deranged in their sense of humor as the UK.
Let's face it; the US is a virtual diamond ore inside a gold mine, when it comes to cultural/social issues and sports personalities to make offensive chants about. :)
Hahaha yep
Their fans are just hacky lazy.
At the end the guy with the mic is Jack Wilshere, who at the time played for Arsenal FC. Arsenal had won the FA Cup and were on an open top bus parade with the cup, and there he was leading the chant against the bitter north London rivals Spurs. Would an American sports star stand up and do that? Could you imagine what the sponsors would do?
They’d go mad I’m sure lol
I am a Spurs fan and I detest Jack Wilshere, but I must admit that was a funny chant.
Looking HOT as usual Amanda 😉
Haha thanks
@@LADYRAEUK Any time sweet cheeks 😁👍
The barbecue thing is an americanisation of the England football song by Fat Les, called Vindaloo (look it up here on youtube - i didn't link it so it wouldn't go to spam). Probably because a lot of americans wouldn;t have the slightest idea what vindaloo is perhaps?
Ah yes probably !
Its not a chant if your not insulting someone or a team.
Lol fair enough
Think what the difference is between USA fans and uk fans is because in UK we have something called 90 minute bigot, this phrase is basically what said at football stays at football. Where USA are more like UK rugby league fans family oriented just going by what I seen on this. Great video Amanda as always
Thank you 😊
Your face, with "Adams Family" chant! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Having worked with Men in the printing industry, no chant will ever shock me...the printers desensitised me! 🤣🤣🤣
Lol 🤣🤣
Try being in the police.
Or the NHS
I think that the Brits have got this one, hands down!
This is a far cry from the days when it was: 'Yeah, we lost the match, but we won the fight afterwards!'
👍🏻👍🏻
