One of the funniest chants I have heard was at a Coventry v Birmingham game. Just a bit of background information. Coventry ended up without a stadium for a few years so one year they played all their home games at Birmingham's stadium. One match they had to play a home match against Birmingham. This meant that Birmingham were the away team on their own ground! So the Coventry fans sat in the home seats and the Birmingham fans sat in the away seats in their own stadium! A chant from Birmingham fans 'Who's the wanker in my seat'.
I remember the first time I went to watch sport in the USA and the club actually brought out official people to start chants (that were all positive and wholesome) and the crowd actually followed. Any club in the UK that tried to "lead" the chanting would get completely hammered by there own supporters.
It would be fun to see England play USA in the world cup, and see how the fans interact. I`m sure the Americans would be shocked to see and hear the English football fans.
The English supporters are legendary. They have a thing called the Barmy Army that travels the world supporting cricket and rugby. I am from New Zealand but it is always a delight when the Barmy Army comes to town.
The "kiddy family" one was actually originally started by Norwich fans about themselves to mock their own reputation. Their local rivals had one "We can't read and we can't write but that don't really matter, we support the Ipswich Town and we can drive a tractor."
@@octaviussludberry9016 I also believe the google search only brings up major beatings until death for Hitler. The Saville one reads 'Burn until lightly toasted on a bonfire. Once toasted raw, roll in salts & acids. Leave to be drawn for an hour or so. Then back on the fire until he is ash. Then urinate over the scum that remains

Poetry plain and simple.. the ease an spontaneity with which these chants are created is nothing short of Shakespearean..I salute my fellow brethren of the terraces.
There is no diplomatic way to describe Jimmy Saville. He was a DJ and tv personality who appeared to be a hero, raising millions for charities for the disabled and ill. After his death it became well known and not disputed that his charity work was all to give him access to physically and mentally disabled people and indeed morgues so he could engage in his sexual deviances.
Yeah. I work in one of the hospitals that he used to visit to 'help out'. Although all this stuff came out years before I started I actually met one of the nurses who'd worked in the wards that he used to visit and apparently a lot of the nursing staff had suspicions about him. Obviously they couldn't prove anything but she said they never left him alone with anybody after a couple of 'incidents' (she never discussed exactly what happened). Apparently he used to drop in and work with the porter team who basically move patients (living or dead) and equipment 'round the hospital which is how he manged to get into places like the morgue.
Dont be so harsh, sometimes he only let himself in at the mental asylum so he could go and look at the mentally challenged girls showering.. You know, just normal stuff like that. The kind of guy you would put every sword from the set of the Robin Hood tv series through and deal with the repercussions later.. 😑
I've watched so many Americans reacting to this video now and it never gets old, every single reaction has tears rolling down my face 😂👍. New sub from UK 👍.
Seen many Americans react to this video and find their stunned reactions funny as but your reactions just pure gold the funniest I've seen by far had tears rolling down my cheeks, subscribed
That proper silent open mouthed rocking and squeaking in the chair killed me. I used to work nights in A&E and weekends were murder for large groups of football lads pissed up to the eyeballs at 2am coming in after whatever scrape and singing everything that's going on around them. . A group of them did the plant pot chant but with a disposable bed pan and straight up bounced it around to each other and whoever was graced with it got a full *He's got a piss pot - on his head, gotta piss pot - on his head* Security bloke tried talking the piss pot crown off them and they ran around throwing it to each other so he couldn't get it.
Americans reacting to football chants is hilarious, they've not seen anything like it and it's not even really a second thought in the UK, just a part of the game, it's like being amazed at someone scoring a goal, it's more than likely going to happen, part of the sport! Loved the reaction video ❤
I loved the man utd chant to the tune of 'lord of the dance' for Ji Sung Li (MU Korean winger) 'Ji sung, wherever you may be They eat dogs in your own country Could be worse, you could be scouse Eating rats in your council house' *For our US cousins; 'scouse' means people from Liverpool. Manchester and Liverpool have a rivalry going back years. A council house is state provided housing for poor people.
I think it was for Ji Sung Park not Ji Sung Li but I could be wrong also the beginning of the chant starts off with "Park, Park, wherever you maybe" again I could be wrong
Been a LFC fan all my life we have some great songs but I have to admit some of these chants from the lower league clubs are brilliant they know their team aren’t ever going to be top notch but hats off to their fans who support them week in week out enjoy their days out fans like these I salute you .you fans are what makes English football so special
Years ago a friend of my husband asked him if our son who followed football would take her visiting Spanish friend to the football match. He did and the Spaniard enjoyed the chanting more than the match! He said the Spanish didnt do the singing so I guess it is an English thing!
It’s so hilarious to see someone react to what is a normal part of football life for us. Excellent video, I laughed so much at the genuine reactions from you 😂
Haha yes you answered your own questions ! The steward looked like Boris Johnson.. The plant pot song came about because apparently the game was so boring the fans decided to entertain themselves ! I needn't mention Adam Johnson or Jimmy Saville , everyone else here has commented and you can do your own research 😉 Love your reactions, you were very quick to recognise the well known tunes the fans use but change the words.. we are indeed very creative, very 'savage' (as you put it) and very rude.. But as someone already commented, the football stadiums are one of the last places for free speech!.. and it is also modern-day war-fare.. some teams have a distaste for each other, just because our little island is so compact and just from town to another there is tension.. Personally I think making up creative chants is more healthy than throwing a punch or pulling out a knife or gun 🤷🏽♀️ There is still violence sometimes, but more often than not it is the chants that show the "battle" .. Haha .......been binging on American's reactions all throughout the pandemic.. and I love how hard you laugh 🤣👍
@@NeilTheFerret1 I wasn't saying otherwise, some other Forest fans who were at the match say it was so boring that they decided to entertain themselves 🤷🏽♀️
Plant Pot came around when Barnsley were 0-3 against Rochdale away, and one of my Dad's mates had brought a plant Pot into the away end, so we all threw it around for a bit of a laugh, at full time, our keeper came and put it on for the laughs
I liked the time when Americans had some guts recently and started the "Let's go Brandon" chant - look up what that chant really meant, very funny. The media crushes news about such things if you let such people run your culture.
@@ladybug591, yeah, the "media" (boo! hiss!) crushes that news to such an extent that I, a South African on the other side of the planet, am well aware of the "Let's go Brandon" chant and its rather funny origins. Bigly bad crushers, those media guys, hey!
2 things you should know, 1. these chants and many more go on at 100s of games every week in england, these are some but not even close to the best chants you could possibly see and 2. football (soccer) fans in england follow their team until the absolute end, if their club hasnt gone bankrupt then they will support them basically, no matter how good or shit they are. its more important than religion, its a warrior nation acting out its instincts on a peaceful playing field , its tribal, its animalistic and its fucking great fun. WELCOME TO ENGLAND!!!
Well, that point about supporting til the end is only for the actual fans. Not sure if you’ve seen, but nowadays there’s people who support players, I spoke to someone the other day who lives in the UK, said he was an Arsenal fan but switched to being a Pep Guardiola fan.
@@user-io8cm4dk1f Well I'm an Arsenal fan and I've known good and not so good times but I thought it was illegal to change? Happened by accident really, went to some games with friends a few decades ago, that was when Highbury still had an atmosphere every week.
@@raydowsett9770 that may be true but saying 'we brits' is an oxymoron as thats an American term for us. im a British person not a Brit but its just semantics.
Adam Johnson was an england international that got caught with a minor and spent a number of years in a 10 x 6! Jimmy Saville an ex dj and presenter that was found to have abused 100's of kids over his 60 year career! So don't feel sorry for either.
The one you like the most, the 'telly' one, as well as all the other Saville, ant & Dec, Brian clough, sheep, etc. are my wonderful club 😍 Leeds United! We do have a savage reputation as fans, especially away from home and have been going to games for 40+ years. Would recommend you look into games vlogs for LUFC more content 👍 Plus we have a US coach now in Jesse Marsch
Proper club are Leeds, always had a love for them and Everton. I'm a Leicester supporter who aren't a big club really so am always routing for clubs like yours... when not playing us obviously lol.
This has got to be the best reaction video I've ever seen to English Football Chants. If I ever get the money I'm going to pay for this bloke to come over & watch a Man City game at the Etihad so he can experience it first hand 😂
@@alfieburns2802 oh, another one that calls our glorious stadium the 'Emptihad' 😁. And what wonderful 'We'd love to be City' club do you support my dear fellow?? 😆
I want to tell you one thing: you are simply the beautiful part of the internet! I am not English and not even American; I am Italian, and I feel this. ..thank you!
Congrats on the Euro win mate, tough for us English due to how rare it is we win anything, but you lot were excellent throughout the tournament with a very strong squad. Congratulations once again pal. 🇬🇧❤️🙏
Watching this made me realise that probably the best reactions to see are the ones we don't get to see. The faces of those foreign players when they finally understand what the crowd are chanting.
Boomer. Both sets of fans, home and away chant these songs. Its all in good fun and makes the atmosphere at a football game brilliant. If you ever come to the UK go to a Premier game although all the four divisions are much the same
I was in the US in April and went to an ice hockey game, baseball game, 'soccer' game and a playoff basketball game and the crowds were soooo tame. The worst things I heard was "Fuck [opposing player/team]" and then "Bullshit" chants for foul calls. My friend and I were so shocked 😂
The plant pot one was at my teams stadium (Rochdale). The fans with the plant pots team (Barnsley) were losing 3-0 at the time so needed something to entertain themselves
The most savage chant I ever heard. Bit of context, while back the Togo team coach travelling for an international tournament was shot at by gunmen in Africa, political stuff I would imagine, but anyway people on the coach died as far as I remember, fast forward a few months to the domestic season. A guy named Emmanuel Adebayor who was on that coach was the target. “Adebayor, Adebayorrrrrrr, used to like coach trips, but not anymore”
You have a new subscriber. It is funny because watching these matches in the USA they don't really know what they are chanting so they don't blur it out. I was watching an Arsenal match and a fan close to the commentary box yelled 'hurry up you fucking pricks.' The commentators had to apologize. It was great.
There's a village in England that does an annual cheese-rolling competition there's a UA-cam video of it it's funny to watch would be worth taking a look at and doing a reaction to it
Also to add to my other comment, I’m proud that most of these chants are from my team Leeds United haha! When they started chanting who’s the slapper in the green, I was at that game
You perfectly described the difference between American and British sports fans on the We lose every week chant by saying that you were a Redskins fan and changed teams to the Buccaneers. No true Football fan over here changes their team. You can change your car You can change your mind You can change your job You can change your clothes You can even change your wife But NEVER EVER change your team
I think you can get kicked out of American stadiums if you swear. It’s ridiculous, shows the difference between Football and American commercialised sports.
I'm an Australian, but I ve been a Matchday Steward at Liverpool FC, in the away (visiting fans)end , for 2 years , and these are tame mate. They're usually very topical ( current events)? If you google Jimmy Saville, and Adam Johnson, you'll understand. It's definitely a fun , interesting experience I can recommend. Even as a fan , home, away or neutral. Put it on your bucket list?
If you’re watching on the TV it means you haven’t actually attended the game and are therefore an inferior person. It’s what fans who attend matches think of “armchair fans”. There is a video I’ve seen comparing English and American football (soccer) crowds, some of the American chants are quite awkward to watch.
Not quite. If you're watching on the telly, then you're paying someone else for the privilege (BT, Sky etc), instead of paying your club directly to be there at the game. Not always possible though if tickets sell out fast.
What always makes me laugh when watching the games on TV is the commentary team having to apologise with statements such as "We apologise for any fowl language you may be hearing from a portion of the crowd" While in the background you hear fans singing about the opposition shagging their mums.
Lots of items about Jimmy Savile on the internet. Some chants are funny like the “we lose every week” one and one player in particular took a lot of chants because he had a large overbite, everyone sang about his teeth being offside. Most are harmless fun chants but sometimes they can be brutal. Enjoyed the video, I’ve heard most of them before but was still laughing. 🤣😂
hey i just found your channel, im from the UK and your absolutely funny as hell, i love you reacting to british things , im glad you find us funny. You had me laughing, and im British, Awesome job !! i have subscribed
Good Reaction. "She said No, Fergie" was to rival Manager: Darren Ferguson, accused (I think) of Rape and his Dad was the most successful Manager in Football history with 28 Trophies in 20 years hence the jealousy/resentment:) "Blue Flag:CFC:I 1905-When current World Champions: Chelsea from West London were formed. Don't feel too sorry for the evil monster that was Jimmy Savile. He was famous and powerful but when he died, only then did the extent of his horrific actions towards children, etc, come to light, I'm afraid. He was from Yorkshire and many of these chants are defensive chants from fans of his local Club to deflect the abuse coming their way.
You are right LindyLou and it would have helped if I had got his name right! It was Darren Ferguson not the name of the Everton legend:Duncan Ferguson :)
Sky TV heavily influence kick off times in the U.K. to suit their schedule. That means that fans sometimes have to travel across the country in the early hours of the morning to get to a 12 noon kick off (rather than the usual 3pm) just because Sky want to show the game. This partially ruins the away game experience for a lot of fans who have their travel plans ruined at pretty short notice.

Excellent comment, Kim - sums us up to perfection - thank you!
Gotta love it when our colonial cousins are left in a state of total shock by the British sense of humour!
When a ref was short in stature:
"Cut the grass, we can't see the ref!"
A football match isn't a football match without us having banter and throwing abuse at eachother. It's bloody brilliant, adds to the atmosphere!
Poetry plain and simple.. the ease an spontaneity with which these chants are created is nothing short of Shakespearean..I salute my fellow brethren of the terraces.
There is no diplomatic way to describe Jimmy Saville. He was a DJ and tv personality who appeared to be a hero, raising millions for charities for the disabled and ill. After his death it became well known and not disputed that his charity work was all to give him access to physically and mentally disabled people and indeed morgues so he could engage in his sexual deviances.
Yeah. I work in one of the hospitals that he used to visit to 'help out'. Although all this stuff came out years before I started I actually met one of the nurses who'd worked in the wards that he used to visit and apparently a lot of the nursing staff had suspicions about him. Obviously they couldn't prove anything but she said they never left him alone with anybody after a couple of 'incidents' (she never discussed exactly what happened).
Apparently he used to drop in and work with the porter team who basically move patients (living or dead) and equipment 'round the hospital which is how he manged to get into places like the morgue.
@@LoneWolf-rc4go Apparently he was given his own keys!
Dont be so harsh, sometimes he only let himself in at the mental asylum so he could go and look at the mentally challenged girls showering.. You know, just normal stuff like that. The kind of guy you would put every sword from the set of the Robin Hood tv series through and deal with the repercussions later.. 😑

The worst bit; There were people in, and around the BBC who knew all along !!
I've watched so many Americans reacting to this video now and it never gets old, every single reaction has tears rolling down my face 😂👍. New sub from UK 👍.
Seen many Americans react to this video and find their stunned reactions funny as but your reactions just pure gold the funniest I've seen by far had tears rolling down my cheeks, subscribed
That proper silent open mouthed rocking and squeaking in the chair killed me.
I used to work nights in A&E and weekends were murder for large groups of football lads pissed up to the eyeballs at 2am coming in after whatever scrape and singing everything that's going on around them. .
A group of them did the plant pot chant but with a disposable bed pan and straight up bounced it around to each other and whoever was graced with it got a full *He's got a piss pot - on his head, gotta piss pot - on his head* Security bloke tried talking the piss pot crown off them and they ran around throwing it to each other so he couldn't get it.
Americans reacting to football chants is hilarious, they've not seen anything like it and it's not even really a second thought in the UK, just a part of the game, it's like being amazed at someone scoring a goal, it's more than likely going to happen, part of the sport!
Loved the reaction video ❤
I loved the man utd chant to the tune of 'lord of the dance' for Ji Sung Li (MU Korean winger)
'Ji sung, wherever you may be
They eat dogs in your own country
Could be worse, you could be scouse
Eating rats in your council house'
*For our US cousins; 'scouse' means people from Liverpool. Manchester and Liverpool have a rivalry going back years. A council house is state provided housing for poor people.
I think it was for Ji Sung Park not Ji Sung Li but I could be wrong also the beginning of the chant starts off with "Park, Park, wherever you maybe" again I could be wrong
@@MorganTC you're right he's wrong. I was at that particular game as a Liverpool fan
Cheeky Manc bastards! 😂
@@doubletapthatdotty4597 That particular game? It got sung pretty much every game we played.
Its park, park, and second line is you eat not they eat.
Hilarious reaction. There's nothing funnier than seeing someone watching this first time and can't believe what they're hearing
Been a LFC fan all my life we have some great songs but I have to admit some of these chants from the lower league clubs are brilliant they know their team aren’t ever going to be top notch but hats off to their fans who support them week in week out enjoy their days out fans like these I salute you .you fans are what makes English football so special
You should end supporting before Klopp leaves 🤣
Years ago a friend of my husband asked him if our son who followed football would take her visiting Spanish friend to the football match. He did and the Spaniard enjoyed the chanting more than the match! He said the Spanish didnt do the singing so I guess it is an English thing!
It’s so hilarious to see someone react to what is a normal part of football life for us. Excellent video, I laughed so much at the genuine reactions from you 😂
Jimmy Saville was an absolutely appalling individual.
And that is one HUGE understatement!
Nonsense, Jim fixed it for me to milk a cow blindfold!
@@alanmawson9601 🤣
'Add Water, makes it's own sauce'
@@octaviussludberry9016 Thank you 😊
*Savile
Haha yes you answered your own questions !
The steward looked like Boris Johnson..
The plant pot song came about because apparently the game was so boring the fans decided to entertain themselves !
I needn't mention Adam Johnson or Jimmy Saville , everyone else here has commented and you can do your own research 😉
Love your reactions, you were very quick to recognise the well known tunes the fans use but change the words.. we are indeed very creative, very 'savage' (as you put it) and very rude..
But as someone already commented, the football stadiums are one of the last places for free speech!.. and it is also modern-day war-fare.. some teams have a distaste for each other, just because our little island is so compact and just from town to another there is tension..
Personally I think making up creative chants is more healthy than throwing a punch or pulling out a knife or gun 🤷🏽♀️
There is still violence sometimes, but more often than not it is the chants that show the "battle" ..
Haha
.......been binging on American's reactions all throughout the pandemic.. and I love how hard you laugh 🤣👍
nah it was a parody of Jason Lee from Nottingham Forest he's got a pineapple on his head, from the Badiel and Skinner TV show.
@@NeilTheFerret1 I wasn't saying otherwise, some other Forest fans who were at the match say it was so boring that they decided to entertain themselves 🤷🏽♀️
Plant Pot came around when Barnsley were 0-3 against Rochdale away, and one of my Dad's mates had brought a plant Pot into the away end, so we all threw it around for a bit of a laugh, at full time, our keeper came and put it on for the laughs
That was the funniest thing i have seen in a long time. I was in tears for 20 minutes. Awesome video 😂
Leeds fans to Brighton fans
“Does ya boyfriend know your here does ya boyfriend know your here” 😂😂😂
Just imagine if one of these crowds went to an NFL game and chanted stuff like this
I liked the time when Americans had some guts recently and started the "Let's go Brandon" chant - look up what that chant really meant, very funny. The media crushes news about such things if you let such people run your culture.
@@ladybug591, yeah, the "media" (boo! hiss!) crushes that news to such an extent that I, a South African on the other side of the planet, am well aware of the "Let's go Brandon" chant and its rather funny origins. Bigly bad crushers, those media guys, hey!
PLEASE DON'T SAY POOR JIMMY SAVILLE! Watch the documentaries on him and record what you think then!
The best reaction I've seen to this video. 👍🏻
Keep up the good work. Respect from the UK. 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
Youre reactions were priceless 🤣🤣 You need to come to England dude and see some games, the crowd is comedy!
The goal keeper always claps back to the banter has appreciation and for good sport
2 things you should know, 1. these chants and many more go on at 100s of games every week in england, these are some but not even close to the best chants you could possibly see and 2. football (soccer) fans in england follow their team until the absolute end, if their club hasnt gone bankrupt then they will support them basically, no matter how good or shit they are. its more important than religion, its a warrior nation acting out its instincts on a peaceful playing field , its tribal, its animalistic and its fucking great fun. WELCOME TO ENGLAND!!!
Well, that point about supporting til the end is only for the actual fans. Not sure if you’ve seen, but nowadays there’s people who support players, I spoke to someone the other day who lives in the UK, said he was an Arsenal fan but switched to being a Pep Guardiola fan.
@@user-io8cm4dk1f
Well I'm an Arsenal fan and I've known good and not so good times but I thought it was illegal to change? Happened by accident really, went to some games with friends a few decades ago, that was when Highbury still had an atmosphere every week.
It has been said we Brits conduct our wars like sport, and our sport like wars.
@@raydowsett9770 that may be true but saying 'we brits' is an oxymoron as thats an American term for us. im a British person not a Brit but its just semantics.
Adam Johnson was an england international that got caught with a minor and spent a number of years in a 10 x 6! Jimmy Saville an ex dj and presenter that was found to have abused 100's of kids over his 60 year career! So don't feel sorry for either.
Currently on scaffolding painting a house and downing tools to watch your reaction to this 🤣🤣🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇦
Be careful! Lol
The one you like the most, the 'telly' one, as well as all the other Saville, ant & Dec, Brian clough, sheep, etc. are my wonderful club 😍
Leeds United!
We do have a savage reputation as fans, especially away from home and have been going to games for 40+ years. Would recommend you look into games vlogs for LUFC more content 👍
Plus we have a US coach now in Jesse Marsch
i love the ‘leeds are falling apart’ chant when we’re losing and then we always come back 😂
Proper club are Leeds, always had a love for them and Everton. I'm a Leicester supporter who aren't a big club really so am always routing for clubs like yours... when not playing us obviously lol.
This has got to be the best reaction video I've ever seen to English Football Chants.
If I ever get the money I'm going to pay for this bloke to come over & watch a Man City game at the Etihad so he can experience it first hand 😂
I’d love that lol.
@@KingBoomer That's a deal 👍
I would love to take you to a City game. You would love every second of it 😆
He wants an atmosphere not an empty stadium come on 😂
@@alfieburns2802 oh, another one that calls our glorious stadium the 'Emptihad' 😁.
And what wonderful 'We'd love to be City' club do you support my dear fellow?? 😆
He'd be there to listen to the away fans not the sound of silence
I want to tell you one thing: you are simply the beautiful part of the internet! I am not English and not even American; I am Italian, and I feel this. ..thank you!
Congrats on the Euro win mate, tough for us English due to how rare it is we win anything, but you lot were excellent throughout the tournament with a very strong squad. Congratulations once again pal. 🇬🇧❤️🙏
@@KingDomsKingdom85 i don t know you, but by your comment, i can say that you are a very a very great and elegant person! ..in a word, british😀👋
First video I've seen of you mate and your personality seems amazing. Your laugh is so contagious
Your reaction made me cry with laughter
Thanks
Watching this made me realise that probably the best reactions to see are the ones we don't get to see.
The faces of those foreign players when they finally understand what the crowd are chanting.
I just love the way he reacts
my fav: let's pretend, let's pretend, let's pretend we scored a goal! yeaaaaahhhhhh! (when 4:0 down)
Boomer. Both sets of fans, home and away chant these songs. Its all in good fun and makes the atmosphere at a football game brilliant. If you ever come to the UK go to a Premier game although all the four divisions are much the same
Naaa there's very little passion at the top any more a lot of corporate and plastic fans. Further down is where the funny stuff is
This is definitely the best reaction to the chants I've seen to date.
There use to be a player called Jermaine Easter. He always use to get this chant from the away fans "You're not as good as Xmas".
I was in the US in April and went to an ice hockey game, baseball game, 'soccer' game and a playoff basketball game and the crowds were soooo tame. The worst things I heard was "Fuck [opposing player/team]" and then "Bullshit" chants for foul calls. My friend and I were so shocked 😂
The plant pot one was at my teams stadium (Rochdale). The fans with the plant pots team (Barnsley) were losing 3-0 at the time so needed something to entertain themselves
Really good reaction from you. True free speech at its best and very funny too.
Welcome to the British sense of humour 😁😁
The most savage chant I ever heard. Bit of context, while back the Togo team coach travelling for an international tournament was shot at by gunmen in Africa, political stuff I would imagine, but anyway people on the coach died as far as I remember, fast forward a few months to the domestic season. A guy named Emmanuel Adebayor who was on that coach was the target. “Adebayor, Adebayorrrrrrr, used to like coach trips, but not anymore”
You have a new subscriber. It is funny because watching these matches in the USA they don't really know what they are chanting so they don't blur it out. I was watching an Arsenal match and a fan close to the commentary box yelled 'hurry up you fucking pricks.' The commentators had to apologize. It was great.
There's a village in England that does an annual cheese-rolling competition there's a UA-cam video of it it's funny to watch would be worth taking a look at and doing a reaction to it
Also to add to my other comment, I’m proud that most of these chants are from my team Leeds United haha! When they started chanting who’s the slapper in the green, I was at that game
Glad you enjoyed it mate. If you've not been to a match in the UK, you will love it. Especially lower division teams.
You perfectly described the difference between American and British sports fans on the We lose every week chant by saying that you were a Redskins fan and changed teams to the Buccaneers. No true Football fan over here changes their team.
You can change your car
You can change your mind
You can change your job
You can change your clothes
You can even change your wife
But NEVER EVER change your team
Absolutely. It's a complete no no to change your team. Unforgivable offence in football.
As a middle aged boro fan this comment hurts my soul LOL
Reminded of the England Vs America chant back when the BP oil spill happened off some coast in America.
"You aren't swimming anymore."
Perhaps some of our Brit football fans should visit some of your stadiums - could stir things up a bit
I think you can get kicked out of American stadiums if you swear. It’s ridiculous, shows the difference between Football and American commercialised sports.
I'm an Australian, but I ve been a Matchday Steward at Liverpool FC, in the away (visiting fans)end , for 2 years , and these are tame mate. They're usually very topical ( current events)? If you google Jimmy Saville, and Adam Johnson, you'll understand. It's definitely a fun , interesting experience I can recommend. Even as a fan , home, away or neutral. Put it on your bucket list?
I've seen quite a few people react to this video and it always makes me laugh but seeing you in absolute stitches made me laugh even more 🤣🤣🤣!
The sky TV one could actually be heard in the interview on sky tv
The he's eaten his drum was a Wigan athletic chant one of my faves I support them
You got a great laugh and smile its contagious 😆 made me laugh, great reaction as always 🙂
Never again use the expression poor Jimmy Saville😈
I must say that I have seen many American reactors of these football chants, and no word of a lie, this is the best one I’ve seen.
OMG Brit here, just discovered your channel and thought "damn, this man will be getting "educated" about Jimmy Savile in the comments" 🤣
Probably the most honest reaction I ever seen, amazing job man
First time I've seen your channel, and I've seen that chants video many, many times, but you had me doubled over laughing at your reaction. Brilliant.
If you’re watching on the TV it means you haven’t actually attended the game and are therefore an inferior person. It’s what fans who attend matches think of “armchair fans”. There is a video I’ve seen comparing English and American football (soccer) crowds, some of the American chants are quite awkward to watch.
Not quite. If you're watching on the telly, then you're paying someone else for the privilege (BT, Sky etc), instead of paying your club directly to be there at the game. Not always possible though if tickets sell out fast.
I laughed at you laughing at this video, it's great fun and some of the chants are quite well thought out aren't they.
When I moved to Australia from England I got sent to the principals office twice in my first week for swearing.... I was 10 years old lol 😂
In Preston England, there was a chant that they used to sing and it was "PRESTONS A SHITHOLE, I WANNA GO HOME" 🤣
I love how genuine this reaction is
Watching you laugh made me laugh so much I have subscribed have a great day.
'We lose every week' is quality. You're a funny guy.🇺🇸🇬🇧
The watching on the telly chant is supporters having a go at they're own fans watching the game at home. Classic British football.
Thats a reaction what we expect 👍🏼👏🏼 i couldnt stop laughing thanks for that 🤣👍🏼
What always makes me laugh when watching the games on TV is the commentary team having to apologise with statements such as "We apologise for any fowl language you may be hearing from a portion of the crowd" While in the background you hear fans singing about the opposition shagging their mums.
Lol!
Fowl language? Like you're a chicken fecker?
There’s a saying in England 🏴. ‘’ whatever happens in a football stadium stays in a football stadium’’.
Lots of items about Jimmy Savile on the internet. Some chants are funny like the “we lose every week” one and one player in particular took a lot of chants because he had a large overbite, everyone sang about his teeth being offside. Most are harmless fun chants but sometimes they can be brutal. Enjoyed the video, I’ve heard most of them before but was still laughing. 🤣😂
Your mother is your sister Your father is your brother 🤣🤣🤣 That got me
hey i just found your channel, im from the UK and your absolutely funny as hell, i love you reacting to british things , im glad you find us funny. You had me laughing, and im British, Awesome job !! i have subscribed
Good Reaction. "She said No, Fergie" was to rival Manager: Darren Ferguson, accused (I think) of Rape and his Dad was the most successful Manager in Football history with 28 Trophies in 20 years hence the jealousy/resentment:) "Blue Flag:CFC:I 1905-When current World Champions: Chelsea from West London were formed.
Don't feel too sorry for the evil monster that was Jimmy Savile. He was famous and powerful but when he died, only then did the extent of his horrific actions towards children, etc, come to light, I'm afraid. He was from Yorkshire and many of these chants are defensive chants from fans of his local Club to deflect the abuse coming their way.
Alex fergerson i think his name was 🤔😂
Wasn’t it his wife?
You are right LindyLou and it would have helped if I had got his name right!
It was Darren Ferguson not the name of the Everton legend:Duncan Ferguson :)
@@Isleofskye yep. Duncan Ferguson’s the one that just headbutts other players … (!)
......and that's just his teammates:)
I've seen this vid before but with your interaction have enjoyed it again so much more🤣😂
Your reaction is excellent lol. Brilliant video.
The Boris chant is from my local team Oldham Athletic. It was all aimed at that one steward who looks like Boris Johnson. 😆
Sky TV heavily influence kick off times in the U.K. to suit their schedule. That means that fans sometimes have to travel across the country in the early hours of the morning to get to a 12 noon kick off (rather than the usual 3pm) just because Sky want to show the game.
This partially ruins the away game experience for a lot of fans who have their travel plans ruined at pretty short notice.
