    The best chant I’ve ever heard was for Andy Goram in the 90’s. We all know the “there’s only one Messi/Ronaldo/whoever”. But then came Andy Goram who was diagnosed with schizophrenia so of course along came “there’s only 2 Andy Goram’s”

      Most likely due to the UK tradition of gently rubbing the son's and daughters to get them to have a thicker skin so that they can cope with the daily ribbing we all had and generations will always have

    Towards the end of last season I was in the away end at Gillingham with Leyton Orient. It was a midweek evening match, so floodlit. Towards the end of the second half the power went out. We sang "You can't pay your bill, you can't pay your bill, you pikey bastards, you can't pay your bill" and "you need a quid for the meter, you need a quid for the meter, quid for the meter". Totally spontaneous because you can't prepare for things like that.
    Another favourite was Walsall fans when a player from Forest Green Rovers, known for having the only completely vegan stadium in tbe world, fell face first on the putch and tbe Walsall fans sang "He's eating our grass, he's eating our grass, that vegan bastard, he's eating our grass".

    Adam Johnson, a former Sunderland and Manchester City player. He was convicted for sexual conduct with a minor (I think the one in question was 15 at that time).
    In the clips it is supporters of Newcastle that sing. Newcastle and Sunderland are archrivals and Johnson was Sunderland's best player and biggest star.
    Jimmy Savil was UK's Bill Cosby both in celeberty ratings and what he did. Just that his conducts was far, far worse. After his death his victims started to come forth and it turned out he had been sexual abusing kids, teenagers and young women for decades. This happened while people with power where protecting him. Savil is genuinely one of the most vile and evil people ever lived.

Theres also a great story about the Navy Seals and SAS in Iraq together for context of British humour. Outside the Seals barracks they put up a sign which read something like "second to no-one", so the SAS got a piece of cardboard and wrote "no-one" on it and put it above their barracks. Funny little micky taking things is something that seems to just be part of our way of life here, but its meant in a friendly, inclusive manner.

The reason people are chanting at them is because they're ridiculously overpriced and they move kick off dates and times often at short notice which means some fans, especially travelling away fans can't get to games.

    The Boris Johnson song is a Micky take on the published song “Glad all over”. So you use the tempo of the song but change a few words. That’s why so many can join in.

Served 3 years of a 6 year sentence and put on the sex offenders register. The absolute lies and bollox of the statement above is a real worry. Is he messing around with a teenage girl who was only 1 year below the legal limit and acting like she was 18, YES!. Is he a pedo who was messing around with children, NO.

Sometimes the opposing fans applaud and shout out respects. It's all good natured for anyone new to this and feeling offended.

      The "you fat bastard" usually comes from the "who ate all the pies?" chant. Re: the steward with the Boris barnet,one of our regular stewards who used to have to stand at the front of the crowd and take it was an extremely hirsute ginger young man. The crowd decided looked like a werewolf,so used to do all this howling whenever we plodded past. There was another one who looked rather advanced in years,so they used to chant "old git,old git,give us a wave!" (which he often did) and "there's only one old git,walking in an old git wonderland."

    As a Latino living in the UK for almost 14 years, all I can say is that these people's rock and pop culture is incredibly vast because they've, well, essentially created it. So if there's a song that topped the charts for 1 week in 1986, they know it. There's also TONS of musicians here and it's not strange to bump into one who's had a hit. I live in Dundee, Scotland and I bumped a few months ago into Gary Clark from the band Danny Wilson. You might ask who the fk is that dude? Well, search "Mary's Prayer" and bobs yer uncle. Bro has a 80s number one hit and hits the same boozers as yours truly XD

      Yeah, playoffs crowds get really loud, but baseball, basketball, hockey fans during a regular season aren’t the best, there’s also a shit ton of games in those sports so it’s mostly just cheer when team does good. our chants are mostly “let’s go (team name)” “de-fence” and players names. What is peak American crowds are American football crowds, especially college. It’s scream as loud as possible whenever the other team has the ball and it’s really a surreal experience being at one of those atmospheres

    Lifelong Liverpool FC fan here. There's a ton of great songs in football too (not just chants) but yes, a lot of stuff is banter between rival clubs' fans. Some of the best have been left out in this video.
    One of my favourites I ever heard live, was when Liverpool FC were playing in Merseyside Derby with their closest city rival Everton. They were having the typical bad season (relegation zone), and we were having an unusually bad one and it was one of those rare occasions we were in the bottom half of the table with them, and the threat of relegation for us too, seemingly quite possible. Everton fans decided to banter us with a chant of "going down, going down, going down." And without missing a beat the Liverpool fans responded with "so are we, so are we, so are we." That shut them up lol

    The thing to note about these chants is that almost all of them are from smaller, lower division teams.

    When England played America in the world cup the American fans were all dressed up like warriors and sang to the English fans " I believe that we will win , I believe that we will win" , to which the England fans replied " what the fuck , what the fucking hell was that " again and again while shaking their fists at them , most of the Arabs at the match laughed at the Americans
