The plant pot is from my team (Barnsley). We were losing 3-0 and it was a terrible game, so the fans decided to make their own entertainment. Wasn't planned in advance or anything, the story goes that the plant pot was just found on the ground and they started having a bit of fun. It's quite easy once a chant starts for people to pick it up. I've seen chants 'made' in advance before a couple of games (even seen pieces of paper handed around with some lyrics, when we were playing a local rival and someone made some parody lyrics for a popular song they have), but normally they're just ad hoc. They're pretty common tunes though, so people know how the lyrics will fit in.

That made me laugh- I've never known lyrics handed out (clearly it happens though)- defeats the object of spontaneity.

Connor..... you are a cool guy and I like your presentation... straightforward and to the point. Just to mention one thing as a Brit. The Brits just LOVE a sense of CRUELTY in their humour... the more the cruelty is hidden beneath a facade, the more they love it. British humour is seriously cruel.

The tv stations often have the fan atmosphere in the background during televised games, but they can mute the sound/microphones in curtain areas to eliminate say tasteless chants, or over 18 audience chants.

Alright, let me see how much I can let you know! -40 quid is £40. -The "there's only one ..." is a common one that just gets the name switched depending on who they're singing about. Lots of teens in school would do it to their friends as "banter". -"Boris for England" was before Boris Johnson got elected. Even then he was known as an idiot so the public thought it would be hilarious if he somehow became prime minister. Similar to how some Americans felt before Trump became president. -A lot of the tunes are similar or taken from well known songs. Someone, or a group, will throw new words in to make chants. Sing it a few times and the crowd will ALWAYS join in. Although some are just classics and are passed down from watching our male elders watch football. -My dad took me to a few games when I was around 5. One of my favourite parts was when chants like this started because dad would join in and would also let me join in "as long as I never sung them outside of the stadium.) -"We want our dick back!" was fucking hilarious and I chanted along! -Budgie is a pet bird. -"The kiddy family" is one of the classics (from around where I live) especially the tune. -Jimmy Savile is one of the most known paedophile in Britain. His victims are hundreds of both children and women. -Plant pot is random and many different items will be used depending on how bored/drunk the crowd is No worries with the "straight face" - these chants are definitely funnier if you know what they're referencing, but to be honest that's the case with most humour. Hope you enjoyed my paragraph!

It takes seconds to learn a chant really. A lot of chants are similar in rhythm, it’s just learning the words but that’s easy as you have people around and after about 2/3 goes you pick it up it’s easy

Football fans act like that scene in the gremlins movie when they take over the pub or bar.🍻😂

Best chant I ever heard live was when Robert Maxwell (Derby owner) disappeared off his boat presumed dead, they had a minutes silence but the Derby fans, who hated him started singing...... "One man went to bury, went to bury Maxwell, One man and his JCB went to bury Maxwell. Two men went went to bury, went to bury Maxwell, Two men, One man and his JCB went to bury Maxwell. Three men to bury went to bury, went to bury Maxwell, Three men, Two men, One man and his JCB went to bury Maxwell. Four men went to bury......" and so on.

For context to Jimmy Saville you should react to crimes that shocked Britain about Jimmy Saville

Most football team's fans have certain songs that they like to sing, but there are a hell of a lot of tunes that are made up on the spur of the moment. If you're loud enough and a few people around you join in, you can sometimes get the rest of the crowd (on your side) to join in. I remember we had a corporate do out in Chicago and they took us to a Baseball game. It was soooo long and there was no chanting or proper crowd participation that we started some chanting and the news cameras picked us up and we made the news lol. Happy days

If chants were sung like this at an American football game the game would be stopped.

Seeing someone not from England laugh at our chants is so brilliant!🤣

6:50 as a turkish football fan, i can say certain melodies are already memorized. if someone comes up with some lyrics that are funny, it kinda spreads like a wave through all of the other dudes in your side quickly. but most of the time, certain ultras have certain chants for the opponents and other situations. they are like hardcore guys going all to away matchs and know all of it and practice it even in the bar or on the bus to an away match. i believe it's the same for european football ultras too.

You won't hear it on TV as a commentary would drown out the sound. This has been going on for years.

Yes some of the chants can be heard during televised matches. Many a commentator has issued an apology to the tv audience

Typical British humour, harsh but we're just as likely to insult ourselves or our players as the opposition

The chants are set to a small number of well know rhythms and tunes. These come from from a a variety of sources, popular songs, nursery rhymes and church hymns. The chant used in the video for “what a waste of £40” and “Who’s the slapper [slut] in the green?” Are the same and is taken from a popular Welsh hymn Cŵm Rhondda. This means that new ‘lyrics’ if you can use that word(!) can be improvised as and when, because the rhythm or tune will already be known.

usually a chant starts one of two ways: someone will start singing to one of many basic tunes, and people will join in by hearing the others singing or if it’s a club anthem or chant about your club then most people tend to know the words

Hahaha 🤣🤣 Your reaction is great. Football chants are always filthy and involves a copious amount of alcohol. Great day out 😂😂

It is the pretty dry and dark humour, Finnish can understant it, God bless of British sense of humour.

Often you'll know the melody. Once you know the melody, you can join in on any chant once you hear what the lyrics are, because you'll be able to fit it in the melody that everyone's following. Deffo no 'practise' before the game, that'd be 'whack af organised fun' lmao

also something that isnt mentioned in the comments is that all the fans are split up so each section of stadium is all the same team fans, where as in US it mixed(not sure of other sports but the packers game i went to was mixed), so its harder to get this sort of thing going.

The best yet 😂

12.10 they are singing to the theme of 'The Adam's Family'

The plant pot was improvised.. They were loosing 4 nil and needed to make the game exciting..

Ted Lasso got it exactly right with the Jamie Tart chant….that’s EXACTLY what the fans would have come up with.

It's basically a handful of well known songs and chants. The words change from club to club. But it's always the same songs just different words. A group of 2 or 3 will start it and then 2 or 3 people around each one them start and then it's an exponential growth. Within a few seconds it's spread to everyone. I'll just add, sometimes when I went to games, you'd buy a 'program', basically a little magazine showing the teams on the day, interviews from managers, shit like that.. But they'd often print out the words to chants. Not sure about that now. I'm talking 20 years ago. lol

The problem with this video there are so many chants that need context which it doesn’t provide

What generally happens atleast at the club I support is one person starts the chant and more people join in

Yes we practise this stuff in bars (pubs) before the game. A few pints of "warm" beer and we get mad at the opposing fans (usually because they are local rivals). We don't pull our punches as you can hear. The tunes are well known pop/trad songs and we just adjust the "lyrics". Back in the good ol' 80s some people got hurt but nowadays it's all chat (we call it "banter"). Cheers for being open minded about this mate...good video

"Quid" is just another word for pounds. Ie £40- 40 quid, it's just another saying for our currency

The planet pot is random. Their team were loosing 3-0

Theres a couple of standard chants but in the main some wag in the crowd comes out with something off the top of their head on the spot and everyone else joins in

we have our own chants mostly but we do sometimes mess around a make funny chants to annoy the opposite team

The chants and roasting of players the fans and TV has gone on for about 60 years. TV will mute the chants IF they can be heard by viewers, some get on live TV and can't be muted in time. Other than that chants are the fans way of enjoying the game or being bored they will liven up the team or entertain themselves. Chant that are new are made up in the pubs, some chants that are a stable are well known by the fans that follow their team and sing them always.

You would find them a lot funnier with some context

There are some chants that are known, My Garden Shed is bigger than this (meaning the opposition ground is very small) is a popular one that is often repeated, but the best chants are the ones made up on the spot to suit a particular situation. There are a few common tunes from popular songs that then just get adapted with new lyrics, they are short and repetitive so the rest of the crowd usually pick them up very quickly.

@McJibbin I am a fan from the club that had the plantpot song. This was completely random, we was losing away, playing terrible, so made our own fun up

I think that the atmosphere in a sport is not just a question of how popular this sport is. It's rather a question of mentality. Rugby is the second most popular collective sport in Western Europe, but International Rugby has a far better atmosphere than American football which is the most popular American sport by an important margin. Also, the English football stadiums may be all full at every match, the atmosphere is far from the level of the German or French leagues.

So, there’s a few “standard” chanting styles that you can usually just throw together in a couple of minutes to give a player or opposing fans some grief. Other chants can be club anthems or chants that have stuck from previous seasons, to remind teams of previous defeats. A lot of the on the fly chants will come from news a player has been up to something he shouldn’t have been.

The difference between British football chants and European ones is that the British chants are usually spur of the moment reacting to something that is happening on the field or something that has happened with a player outside of football. One or two people start chanting then the rest pick it up. British people like to take the piss and aren't afraid of being offensive if they think the team/player deserve it. Like the chant saying 'what a waste of forty quid'. 'Quid' is a pound in British money so they are letting their team know that they think their performance wasn't worth the money.

Just to explain, not criticise, the term "soccer" while it is indeed originally an English word, it was coined by the English upper classes, who traditionally follow rugby or cricket. They used this term to demean the fans of football who traditionally are the working classes. British class system bs I know, but to this day it is still seen as highly insulting. Also how the hell do you possibly get the name football for a game you play almost entirely with your hands? It defies all logic.

In the UK football was around before Rugby Football. And Rugby Football allegedly got it's name from Rugby Public School. Hardly a working class establishment. You can thank William Webb Ellis, for the (ahem) upper class game. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Webb_Ellis

It’s all spontaneous, English football fans are the best of any sport on earth. Nothing can beat English football culture. It’s where it started.

They are normally like 15-20 tunes that everyone knows and then on the spot a fan will add lyrics to the tube and it will catch on

I have been to see Chelsea vs. Arsenal. Wigan vs. Fulham back in the 90's. I took a my 4 year old son, when they chanted "Bastards" I said they are calling the players "Mustards" every time they miss the goal.

Most of the chants are very well known tunes or even songs that a group of fans will put a twist on and start the chant and others will just catch on to it and the singing will spread.

Lots of these are just different songs (Mabey some nursery rhymes) but 12:21 is the adams family song, which is the oly one that you would hear outside of a match

The plantpot thing is 100% random lol

Every team has their own regular chants that are sang every game and have been for years and years so everyone knows them already.. but ones like these are usually just started randomly in the ground or something and people join in.. not pre rehearsed or anything

I know for a fact that we couldn't travel to an American Football stadium and carry on in this manner. Security would have a nightmare day with us as we fight back! The game would more than likely be abandoned as thousands would take massive offence to what we'd chant!

most chants fans will just know them but sometimes if one person starts chanting something the whole stadium does no matter what

Usually one person starts it and they use a popular tune so it’s catchy and easy to follow

The plant pot clip makes me proud to be a barnsley fan

Like 60% leeds chants haha this is class

In terms of everyone ‘knowing the chant’ .. all it takes is one rendition and it’s easy to learn tbh. You can see how easy it is by repeating the chants in this video. One or two people start and you can get hundreds to follow. Some chants are more well known than the others of course.

Once Crystal Palace were 3-1 down early in a game against Crewe that we couldn't really afford to lose. Then all of a sudden it started getting foggy, we couldn't even see the opposite goal. We were all hoping that the game would get abandoned so we could start again at 0-0 another day. The rest of the half was full of fog-based songs. Jordan's (Chairman) got a fog machine, Jordan's got a fog machine'. 'We want fog, we want fog'. 'Foggy, Foggy, Foggy, oi, oi, oi'. 'We can't see you sneaking out'. 'Sing when it's foggy, we only sing when it's foggy'.

One or two people just start the process of the chanting or songs by saying whatever things they have made up, and then the one next to them and him and her and him next and it keeps on going with the chants and they spread through crowds once the crowd ,if it is simple and catchy and ruthless, then the rest of the crowd around whoever starts and keeps on shouting it out start recognising and than basically every one joins in and chants and songs all as one. But then u do have other regular/signature chants that all have their own words anyway that the fans of that specific club will all already know
